Privateer actions and public notices from Plymouth to Bristol
Reports describe a French privateer engagement near Dieppe, a ship losing masts off the Lizard, and a grounded Litchfield with casualties. Notices cover ship arrivals, prize captures, public warnings, local robberies, price lists, and political letters urging measured North American policy and safe trade, with further dispatches from Hanover and Leipzig on troop impressments and financial conquests.
