The Friendship and Virginia Fleet Reach The Downs

A Portsmouth letter notes the Friendship from Virginia with seven other ships forming a convoy to the Downs. Several Virginia-bound ships arrive at Dover and Spithead, including the Bolling and Hawke, while the Henry, Buffin Merchant and Bonetta join from Riga and Plymouth. Reports from Hamelon and Altena describe British actions against the French and Bavarian troop movements, with discussions of potential shifts in alliance and a projected royal assent to bills in the House of Lords and Peers. The Duke of York may visit Holyrood next summer.
