War News and Public Notices From Bohemia to Jamaica
In Prague and Bohemia reports describe halted movements of 30000 troops, flooded roads, and river dangers. Letters note Count Frankenberg switching sides, confiscations, and Dutch fears of floods. Maritime items list ships, captures, and arrivals at Ostend, Havre, and Gibraltar, with privateers active. London society notes include a royal ode, court audiences, and local incidents. Plantation news from Charles Town reports Catawba scalps and bounty payments, while Jamaica and Boston items advertise rum, brandy, Arrack, wines, and punches for sale.
