Pope Crowns Clement XII In Rome Coronation Celebration
Rome reports the July coronation of Pope Clement XII with the Sacred College leading to the Vatican. The ceremony included alms, a public benediction from the balcony, and nighttime illuminations. Ministers, princes, and Swiss guards accompanied the Pontiff to Monte Cavallo, where emissaries and nobles paid court. Reports note restraint on petitions to ministers, royal favor to favored relatives, and early promises of governance. Genoa dispatches detail Corsican unrest and a Malta envoy presents the Cross to Cardinal Bauchieri. Local London items describe civic events, stock quotes, and a dog prize alert.
