An account from London dated September 4 details the defeat of the Spanish fleet off Cape Passaro under Sir George Byng. It lists the admiral and Rear-Admiral commanders, ship names, losses, prizes, and the fates of several vessels including captures, sinking, or burning.
From Rome to Vienna and Paris, August reports describe Byng's decisive defeat of the Spanish fleet off Syracuse, Messina and fortifications in Sicily, plus Venetian and Ottoman naval maneuvers. Messages note British occupation of Messina, renewed Austrian aims, and peace ratifications among ambassadors. Mixed dispatches also cover Danish tensions, Rhineland evacuations, and coinage updates from London to Paris.
