Desperate Naval Movements and Public Notices from 1762
Reports from Spithead and the Downs detail Admiral Allemond’s Dutch fleet approaching, with English and Dutch ships assembling under Vice Admiral Hobson. Letters claim prize captures near Guernsey, a Marlborough convoy heading to Holland, and Cork forces preparing for a descent. Public notices include bounties for recaptured individuals, sales at Charing Cross, and advertisements for curiosities, medicines, and a missing book reward.
