Insurgent News and Atlantic Finance Reflections
The Courier reports on insurgent actions around St Augustine and Amelia Island, noting Gregor McGregor’s cautious movements and proclamations to Florida inhabitants. It discusses Mexican authority, U S naval preparations, and European intrigues, with market chatter on Exchequer Bills, Bank discounts, and political attacks by the opposition.
Princess of Wales may grant orders and nobility
The text contends that the Princess of Wales possesses a natural prerogative to create and bestow orders of knighthood and nobility, a privilege claimed as simple and inherent rather than tied to law or established custom. It notes this assertion is repeatedly made regarding her powers.

Prince Regent To Return To Pavilion By October
Brighton notes indicate the Prince Regent may return to the pavilion around the tenth of the current month or earlier if possible. Weather last week was damp and gloomy, hindering outdoor amusements while elegant guests filled houses and kept the town dreary at times. The Duke of York, despite the elements, continued sociable rambles and bathed at Williams's thrice weekly, remaining in fine health and spirits. He and staff visited Lord George Cavendish at Eastbourne, stayed the night, and resumed travel to the Pavilion on Saturday.
