Broadside on Rhodes Island and New York actions in 1780
Dispatches recount Monfieu Ternay landing nine thousand troops at Rhode Island under Rochambeau on July 12, while Clinton learns of the move nine days later. Washington threatens New York, but Arbuthnot and Graves oppose a fleet action due to provisioning limits and risk to the city. Reports note Brest convoys, French and Spanish fleets near St Domingo, and events in London politics, including elections and court notices.
