Departure of the Duke of Orleans from Paris for England
Yesterday morning the Duke of Orleans bade farewell to the King and set out for England. He reportedly carried a private mission for the King and before leaving Paris presented the Assembly with two and a half million livres, thanked by M Neckar. At Boulogne the fishwives and town militia blocked his embarkation despite a passport signed by the King, the Marquis de Lafayette, and the Assembly president.

Royal Hound Ride and War News From Brabant
Yesterday King went in his phaeton at ten to meet his hounds at Burnham with Major Garth. After a three hour run he was near Ditton Park. Reports say 6000 Prussian troops entered Brabant to aid insurgents as Dutch forces move to seize barrier towns. An express reached the Imperial Ambassador with Belgrade's surrender news. A Portsmouth trader was killed near Havre-de-Grace, a sea incident linked to nets fished from the French coast.

Monuments and mischief cut through London tales in autumn
A long page of late 18th century notices recounts blazes of misfortune and oddities. It notes a man killed by lightning and a monument inscribed to William Cawley at Packington. A drunken assault, a maid’s leap from a window, and a surgeon’s delivery in Bond Street illustrate daily peril. Weathered reports include deaths, marriages, and population figures, plus shipboard letters from Botany Bay and varied local mishaps across Plymouth, Dover, and Weyhill fairs.
