Fragmentary 18th Century dispatches and ship notices in London
A garbled mix of diplomatic summaries and port news from London and the Continent mentions the King of Spain and Infanta Maria, negotiations at Vienna, Dutch trade inns at Altena, shipments to Holland, and arrivals from Lisbon, Cadiz, and the Baltic. It notes social events, a public proclamation, trials, and local criminal cases including a boy rescued from a sharpers attempt.
