Privateer actions and royal distress mark London notices
Admiralty reports Captain Jarvis of the Foudroyant capturing the privateer Fancy with 12 guns and 80 men near Mounts Bay. Letters from Calais and Jamaica recount the Duke of Gloucester's deteriorating health and imminent death, with other maritime gains and losses, town misfortunes, and a barrage of notices on weddings, deaths, and public works as London witnesses high tides and market concerns.
