Plea on Piracy and British Justice in Levant Trade
A letter from Leghorn dated July 11 1760 laments robberies at sea by Marco Locovich and Luca Vallamachi under English colours harming neutrals trading to Salonica Smyrna and Levant ports. It urges Admiralty and Vice Admiralty reform to require bondsmen of known credit and to prevent future abuses while detailing ongoing European military movements and outcomes.
