Financial Markets and International News From The Courier
The Courier reports British Consols and Navy 5s dividends totaling about nine million pounds. Buoyed by anticipation of Buonaparte’s death, the funds show a rise with limited specie demand. German and Paris papers recount Turkish and Greek conflicts near Dragaschan and Rimnik, Genoa and Madrid updates, and debates on royal coronation rights. The drought’s impact lingers across Scotland, drying wells and mills, while a maritime incident at Kingsbarns prompts rescue concerns as Speedwell of Sunderland is named.
