Rebels in the Highlands and Naval Movements Reported
Dispatches describe royal efforts to intercept rebel ships off the Isles of Ilay Mull and Cantey with sloops Drake and Happy Sloop sent from Edinburgh. Forces from Aberdeen move toward Castle-Gordon on the River Spey as Major General Evans and Colonel Newton’s Dragoons advance. Revels and Yorkshire rebels are said to be gathering in the hills around Lochaber, with reports of foraging and anticipated fire and sword actions. The period notes political shifts, church ceremonies, and stock prices, alongside local notices and a lost setting bitch.
