Swedish and Danish Naval Moves Amid Baltic War Preparations
The notice describes Brabart’s orders to raise a grand army of about 24,624 foot, 6,600 horse, and 5,000 dragoons with Danish and Swedish forces gathering. It reports a Danish squadron under Vice-Admiral Rea and Bariufe near a fleet to the east, Swedish activity near Landeroon, and ongoing transport plans from Livonia to support reinforcements. Reports from Falmouth, Whitehall, and Bristol mention ships Scipio and Cesar, mutinous privateers, and promotions for Swedish officers. It notes James Slattery and Philip Meara sought for murder charges and a king’s ransom, plus notices about fairs, manorial grants at Dungarr, and toll-free markets to begin September under Queen Anne’s reign.
