Spanish Cruisers Seize Jamaica Shipments Near Windward Passage
From Plantation News in Charles-Tean South Carolina dated April 20 we learn via a Musqueto Shore vessel that Spanish cruisers in the Windward Passage continue searches and seizures of English ships. They recently seized over 20000 dollars from a Jamaica bound vessel commanded by Sutcliff carrying officers of His Majestys Ship the Fox. A Snow from Jamaica under Capt Braddock is reported taken, and two galleys long active against English trade in the Bay of Honduras were cast away near the Bay late February.
