Trade Dour as France lowers coin value and delays travel
Day by day posts from Leghan report heightened resistance to new French coin rules as merchants discount bills tied to St George’s Bank. French Louis d or and crown pieces cause losses leading to large shipments back to France while Neapolitan transports carry cavalry and recruits to the state garrisons. The Bogchetta pass will be closed and a new road to Novi planned to bypass Carofo under Sardinia’s king. Marquess de la Vieuville sails from Naples to Turin as ambassador for the Two Sicilies.

Diplomatic Appointments and Early News From Hanover
In Bavaria the Prince de Soubize and several nobles are named Aid-de-Camps to Marshal Belle-Isle while de la Tour becomes Adjutant-General. A royal messenger reports the King’s health and expected return to England by early October. Local honors are paid to the Earl of Oxford for Parliament service. A marriage unites William Sheldon and Miss Beauchamp. Trade updates include imports from Lisbon, Sweden, and Jamaica, plus ships and privateering notes from Dunkirk.
