European dispatches from March 27 to April 4 include sieges and troop movements
Reports from Altena to London detail Mecklenburgh forces in Lübeck Domitz attacks, French reinforcements, Prussian captures, and Dutch naval actions. Updates from Paris, Constantinople, and Hamburg note privateer captures, Ottoman tensions, and local unrest. News cover ships, port repairs, court appointments, royal marriages, executions, deaths, and societal notices across Europe.
Promotions and medals issued in Dublin amid British army orders
March 27 notices announce James Masterton to be Lieutenant Colonel and list promotions across regiments. A commemorative gold medal for the king is offered at sixpence each, with warnings about counterfeits. Navy and prisoner of war offices publish tenders for victuals and supplies for twelve months from May, naming Forton, Gosport, and prison ships.
