Rumors Reach Hispaniola and Baltic Letters Spur Turmoil
The excerpt reports a current rumor that less than 14 warships and 10,060 land-forces have reached Hispaniola from France as a secret intent. Spaniards eye Jamaica, while Mexican ships sail to the Havannah on return. A letter from the Lower Elbe notes a Russian-backed Russo-Polish upheaval, with revolts expected after troop shifts and intensified dispatches from Vienna, Berlin, and Copenhagen. St. Christopher's letters describe record rains flooding the island on November 14, wrecking crops and causing displacements. Additional items cover emigration concerns, hospital cases of Russian sailors, shipwrecks near Portland, legal notices, and a spate of local births, marriages, and bankruptcies.
