Letters from Bayonne and Admiralty News Across the Atlantic
Reports from Bayonne claim ten Spanish men of war with two thousand soldiers sailed from Feyne toward unknown destinations. Meanwhile Admiralty updates note Nassau, a 70 gun ship, placed under Capt. Alexander Geddith. Obituaries and official notices list multiple deaths and promotions, with details of weddings and clerical appointments. The piece cites Allied and Spanish actions, convoy delays, and Gibraltar siege expectations, plus shipping losses and privateer activity around Scilly and St Sebastian. The tone remains a brisk, period news digest from the era.
