Letters from the Hague reveal European intrigues and notable deaths
The Hague dispatches report Granby’s officers skipping to Helvoetfluys, the death of William VIII at Rintelen aged 77, and Damrosch-like political maneuvers. Paris notes on Fischer seeking release, Brest preparations, Thurot’s elusive expedition, and Sardinian plans. Holland faces internal disunion, Nassau-Weilbourg Caroline match debates, and Soltikoff’s continued command. Britannia arrives at Antigua after fending off French privateers, with extensive damage to sails and rigging.
