Privateer actions off Porto Rico and Bristol notices
A detailed report from Vice Admiral George Eyre describes the Regulus and accompanying boats capturing three of five enemy vessels near Aguada bay Porto Rico. Lieutenants Good and Holman merit praise for bravery while extracting a ship brig and armed schooner under heavy fire. One fatality, Mr Thomas Finch. The Gazette also notes captures of a French privateer and a Dutch privateer, plus bankruptcy and dividend notices with multiple names and dates. Europe remains convulsed by revolutions.
