Destruction in Petersburgh Fire Leaves Town in Ruins
A Sunday night blaze raged through Bolingbrook and Back-street in Petersburgh, destroying hundreds of houses and commercial frontage. The fire, fanned by wind, reached Sycamore and Bollingbrook streets, razing the corner offices of the Petersburgh Intelligencer and nearby shops. Eyewitnesses speak of explosions and deaths, with several burned and missing residents, while attempts to blow up adjacent structures failed due to powder shortages. Firefighters and citizens struggled amid chaos and lack of leadership.

The French in the United States and Royalist Strife
A Brussels printed extract from Baltimore describes a deep political split in the United States among the French, between Royalist and Napoleon supporters. Americans align with the side that best suits their views, duels occur, and a strong anti cockade sentiment emerges. The piece notes royalist symbols provoke hostility, consuls avoid displaying the mark, and tensions rise as factions clash. A theatre review then describes a night at the opera and a village farce, followed by race results and a theft trial in which a fiddle and pawned instrument figure in the case.
