Grand Signor Death Rumors and Baltic Naval News
Venice reports spread of the Grand Signor's death as unreliable. letters from Constantinople claim he is not ill and that a large prize and payments were promised to troops at Orfeva. The Turkish fleet defeated the Russian flotilla in the Black Sea, with about a hundred ships sunk or captured. Boston news recounts Captain Buckley recapturing two sloops and a flatts from the Spaniards near New River, freeing 25 English sailors. Ensuing actions include marooning captives and a clash with Don Rigledore’s forces, then London notices shift to naval movements, royal visits, and civic appointments.
