French Court News of Spanish Plate Fleet Tide and War Spreads
Reports from Madrid and Antwerp describe the Spanish Plate Fleet’s perilous voyage, with French plans to seize treasure under the pretext of loans. Letters detail variable movements of German and French forces near Liege and Cadiz, with fortifications at St Stevenswaert and Tongeren under siege. The news notes merchant fears, naval captures, and consular dispatches from Leghorn, Genoa, and Falmouth, including a Dutch prize and a 900-head sugar shipment aboard a captured Spanish ship.
