War Rumors Reach India and Cape Amid Dispatches
Letters from India via the short route report the Mahrattas declare war on England. An expedition fitted at Madras for the Ile de France or Egypt is countermanded. Fast ships head to the Cape of Good Hope for aid, while unrest endangers troops. A consular audience notes Count Cobenzel as plenipotentiary. Otto replies about delaying a fishing-boat capture order.
