French and English Fleet Actions Stir Jamaica Trade
Reports from Hispaniola describe a guard de costa arriving at Aux Coys engaging an English vessel from Kingston to Carracos with a French crew of 16 and 76 wounded, while Capt. Redmond notes a French frigate near St. Mark sending boats to two sloops. Word says Dutch and New York ships seized on the west side, and French merchants pressuring for relief as political maneuvers loom. The Earl of Northampton sails from Port Royal with surveyor Gauld to chart harbors, and crews report Redney's squadron has mostly avoided accident. A shallop from Capt. Heege with 104 barrels of provisions is lost with all aboard near St. Ann's Bay. Kingston hosts the Providence packet arriving from Cape Nichola Mole, carrying Capt. Channing who says Aurora and about a dozen North American vessels were stopped on pretence of illicit trade.
