Death and public notices from London and France

Royal and court items include appointments at Privy Seal, cabinet council at Hampton Court, and preceptor to the Duke of Cumberland. Shipping, arrests for crime, and local commerce detail voyages, a fire at Ruffel-Court, public notices, and a sale of sermons by Samuel Clarke. Public letters from Aleppo mention a ship laden with coffee off Mocha and a merchant ship missing.
