Letters From Dunkirk Advise On Dutch East Indiaman

News items from Dunkirk and privateers report a Dutch East Indiaman left between the harbour and Ostend while a voyage from Bourdeaux to Dunkirk was abandoned near the harbour. A Danish ship bound for Portsmouth with planks and deals is stranded in Lynn Deeps, hope saved for cargo. A squadron of five ships is ordered for Channel service, Captain Ambrosé commanding the Rupert as commodore. Reports also claim a 600-ton ship laden with naval masts and yards was taken by a Spanish privateer and brought to Vigo. Details include a privateer capturing a Swedish vessel near Scilly, and letters from Madrid and Lisbon about fleets, storms, and deliveries to Gibraltar as South Sea stock and financial figures close the bulletin.
