Fortugueze Armament and Plunder Reported From Goa to Persia
Letters from Baffera dated October describe the Fortugueze arming at Goa and taking Gombaz. The Commodore of the Portugueze squadron seized ships in the Gulph of Baffera, extorted the Persian coast to Gouge, plundered Keskruy, and forced Ormutz to capitulate. Brussels reports the Elector of Bavaria ill with smallpox. Moscow notes Count Wratislaw received last sacraments, dying as the post departed.

The Universal Ridicule Travesty at Lincoln's Inn Fields
A notice declares a seven o'clock performance in London’s Lincoln's Inn Fields area. It lampoons public tastes with a mock almanac of piety and a satire titled The Univers Ridicule Travesti or Chimes of the Tistes, promising a farcical skewering of town and country manners.
