British and Portuguese forces praised for discipline near Spain
Yesterday arrived in the Sound from Aifbon reports that Lord Tyrawley and General Crawford march toward the Spanish continent with British cavalry and infantry. The Essex captured five prizes near Basque-road and sailed to Portsmouth under Captain Barrington of the Achilles. Serjeant Shannon of the Queen's regiment was executed for mutiny at Dock Barracks in front of about 4000 spectators. Seamen discharged for service reports, robberies by a local gang at Stonehouse, and a torpedo of ships sailing for Gibraltar and the Downs. The fleet prepared to wait for better wind as other ships sailed to Lisbon and Gibraltar. A Geneva letter notes a new cannon-making method by Dr. De la Roofe. Marriages and obituaries noted, including Mr. Bunbury’s and Mr. Potts’s weddings, and the death of Mr. Boaman associated with Masons. A Woodford incident reports a murder attempt on a family, restrained then escaped. Trade: grain and sugar exports to Lisbon and Quebec, brandy exports to Nova Scotia, and sugar imports from the West Indies. Several ships arrived at Deal on the way to Holland and Jamaica, with a large convoy present. Wind NNE.
