French Fleet Appears Before Baye Amid Naval Movements
Letters from Naglés dated the thirteenth detail that on the eighteenth the French fleet formed a line off Baye with twenty ships of war eight fireships and various vessels, faced by a tempest that scattered some. De Esfree retreated to defend Naples, releasing many prisoners and drawing noble offers and funds for the army. The Genoa letters confirm his retreat by fire ships and suggest the squadron may refit or sail for the Straits, while others worry over possible attacks in the Low Countries.
