Navy engagement near seven o'clock and ship movements
The report describes a naval engagement where a sloop fired from dawn till seven in the evening, with no fatalities but heavy damage to rigging and sails. A second vessel carried 12 carronades and many swivels. Subsequent notices mention several ships arriving at Cowes and Plymouth, plus convoy movements and wartime news about prize sugars, privateers, and diplomatic attempts near Grey Island.
