News from Europe and Caribbean Ports Amid War Talk
Reports from London and abroad describe Washington’s militia strength near Philadelphia with Howe unable to force a crossing, while Congress arms a new army. Neapolitan ports shield American vessels, Deane solicits privateers in France, and Danish recruits surge with bounties. Dispatches note a treaty among European powers, a royal examination of the Prince Royal, and martial law easing in Jamaica as prizes and ship actions continue in the Atlantic theater.
