London notes on naval moves and royal proclamations in a turbulent season
The article recounts the Channel fleet sightings, a grand fleet split from the main armada bound for the Mediterranean, and hints at Gibraltar’s approach. It cites the Emperor’s proclamation to Brabant, while questioning public trust in royal promises amid political strain. It mentions Lord Hawkesbury and Mr. Grenville pursuing a commercial link with America to balance trade, and notes Norwich traders receiving partial relief from Earl of Buckinghamshire. It also identifies Samuel Baker as the man who murdered a woman at Pancras, with details of his past on hulks and the victim’s recognition by her brother.
