Kingston church rites and Atlantic trade rumors surface
A report from Kingston notes a religious service at St James's and nuptial preparations for the Earl Cathearne, while Amsterdam and Philadelphia bound ships carry American produce to France. Dispatches describe Bergoyne's boats, French vessels near Delaware, and Corket reporting armed ships aiding American efforts. A French edict suppresses merchant trades, and local misdeeds including thefts and disasters are noted alongside bankruptcies and public notices.
