Enquiry on Military Moves and Prisoner Advances
From a French minister update to York, reports confirm many prisoners after the fall of Cleves and nearby towns. British forces strengthen embarkation plans with eight men drafted from each home regiment and Burgoyne’s Light Horse reviewed before marching to Portsmouth for the expedition. Extra cannon and boats arrive as leaders named Kinglsey and Crawford are assigned to command. Nearby captures include ships from Gran and a privateer sinking a vessel. Maria Amelia, Queen of Spain, dies in Madrid communications. Local crime notes and public disturbances mark a volatile era with protests and punishments in London. The Prince of Wales Indiaman tragedy sparks a murder trial set for Admiralty Sessions.
