Adverse war news from Nevis and Paris in late December
A letter received in town confirms Admiral Hyde Parker's cruisers off Barbadoes captured 14 French transports and a convoy, signaling a major maritime blow. Reports deny peace talks with America, pledging renewed war efforts and a large troop levy by Lord North. Intelligence warns of a grand fleet expedition to the Mediterranean and Gibraltar. Maritime notices list West Indiamen leaving Portsmouth and a Bristol oil tar discovery offers cost savings and potential use on ships. A Dumfries militia plan and Bristol oil extraction details circulate as security and defense ideas. The Paris talks discuss landing 60,000 troops on the English coast next spring. The Muer and Concord are noted as safe arrivals in Britain from Newfoundland and Oposta respectively.
