Prussian Forces Grow as Lisbon Privateers Sail
A London letter reports Prussia may raise 50 000 more troops to join a 130 000 force, while a Franckfort official died suddenly from apoplexy. Edicts at Mannheim fix Jewish families at 57 for protection with funds. Privateers capture several ships including New England Merchant and America, with prizes sent to Bilboa. Updates include Brest fleet movements, store ships rescued, and Bristol letters confirming fleet conjunction in the Channel. Also noted are stock quotes and a highway robbery alert with a 200 pounds reward.
