Glorious Fleet Movements and Irish Trade Debates
London reports state French and Spanish fleets from Brest on the 16th, with 57 ships of the line and many frigates, leaving squadrons near the Bay and off St Malocs, while sending ships to the West Indies and preparing to menace the American coast. The English fleet from Spithead on the 22d totals 37 ships of the line with auxiliaries. A Dublin letter argues for free trade as Ireland's cure and criticizes English administration, while Plymouth and Liverpool dispatches note naval movements, arrivals, and privateer actions. Dated extracts cover Ireland’s political mood, merchant news, and recent ship captures.
