Declaration of Catherine II invites foreigners to settle
A long English notice reports Catherine the Great granting religious liberty and school building rights to foreigners, with Jews excluded. It notes prisoners of state may gain liberty by settling at Astrakhan or Derbent, and mentions officials auditing finances in Russia, military camp plans near Riga, and ships outfitting for Spain and other routes. It also covers theatre notices, stock prices, local trials, and commerce updates in London.
