From Margate a letter notes five French 76 gun frigates steering from Calais toward the East for trade disruption and Iceland fishery, while seventy-five ships of the Leeward Island fleet were spotted off Ireland. The piece condemns France Austria and Sweden for pursuing power under treaty rhetoric, warning of manipulation by papal influence and “holy see” aims.
