Trade disputes with Vienna and voyage notes in London
Reports from London dated July 23 note Vienna alterations restricting certain Dutch goods and export of Dutch manufacturing, prompting Amsterdam and Rotterdam merchants to petition the States General to seek reversal. Dispatches to Count Degenfeldt urge the Imperial Court to restore prior trade footing. An extra letter from on board the Endeavour details early South Seas discoveries in 1768, including transit observations, island descriptions, native interactions, and vessel details.
