Privateers and Atlantic Trade News of December and January

Reports detail two privateers sighted near Barbados with armed crews while a brigantine from New York carried provisions to Barbadoes. The Parnaflis carried 192 slaves to Africa and was captured by Le Chameau and L’Elephant. Several ships from London, Bristol, and Virginia arrived at Barbadoes and the Downs, including transports, damaged vessels, and prize news. European campaigns loom with Austria, Prussia, and Russia preparing vast forces. Madrid pressures Italy, and English letters hint at court intrigues and political shifts amidst ongoing global tensions.
