Caithness Address and War Office Orders Stir British Forces
London reports from Caithness address to the king on American affairs. Weymouth orders regiments in Ireland to join their corps, with some exceptions for recruiting or other duty. War Office dispatches command the 7th regiment to attach to the corps. Navy notes predict American strength at sea next summer, including ships of various guns. Portmouth reports Tartar and Arethusa frigates bound for St Helena to escort homeward East Indiamen. An afloat vessel near Lynn loses its rudder. Albion and Holpke reach Cuxhaven while ice slows Elbe travel. Friendship remains in Tinmouth Bay, cargo at risk if weather moderates.
