Naval actions and sieges from Cadiz to Tortona in 1799
Dispatches describe the British squadron off Cadiz pursuing the French and Spanish fleets, with warships under sail near Cadiz and Cape Spartel. Reports detail the siege of Pizzighettone, capitulation at Peschiera, and Austro-Russian advances in Piedmont as Suwarow’s and Moreau’s armies maneuver. Notices also mention Spanish fleet rumors, a royal birthday review, and widespread bread and commodity prices in London.
