Return of the Ruffiah Fleet in Revel and Cronflet ports
An Amsterdam Gazette excerpt from November 1 1719 presents a printed French account defending the Ruffian fleet's return to Revel and Cronflet. It argues against claims of retreat, citing British Swedish naval relations and a June 7 1719 letter from Sir Jobs Norris to the Ingermanland. Norris records Britain’s squadron aims to protect commerce and preserve alliance, while seeking assurances of peaceful intent and avoiding hostilities with Russia.
