European dispatches recount piracy threats and royal actions
The Paris Alaman reports manuscripts from the Gaspian region translated in France and notes a Spanish ambassadorial mission to request Mademoiselle de Beaujolais for Don Carlos. It cites baptisms in Madrid, India Company merchandise sales, and health certificates easing travel. Gelderland imposes conditions on a prince’s oath to reform and governance. Turkish fleet movements, Algerine corsair activity near St Michael, and a Maltese slave issue are described alongside Lisbon-bound naval orders and a drowning in the Exeter voyage.
