Foreign dispatches and naval movements in early February 1683
The Paris and Vigo reports describe convoys forming for the West Indies, a privateer ship's 34 gun frigate engagement with a 64 gun English ship, and cargoes including 500000 pieces of eight plus 300000 pesos and 200000 crowns. Royal Entry rituals in Paris, court proceedings in The Hague, and Sweden’s Gortz case details accompany notes from Gottembergs and Amsterdam about troop movements and prizes.
