It notes a mutinous riot by prisoners in Marseille, the city’s fort demolition halted, and naval armament planning by the King with costs quoted.

War fears and European intrigue from Gibraltar to Madrid
London dispatches describe Flint bringing letters from Malaga and Madrid in reply to Britain’s demand for satisfaction over a West Coast insult. Spain’s answer is evasive, deferring war decision until Fitzherbert’s arrival. France and Hungary rage with constitutional upheaval as Dutch and Swedish moves shift balance. Trade disruptions, Baltic tensions, fleet movements, and public notices follow, with ships sailing to Canton and Bombay and rumours of Revel bombardment denied.
