Fire damages and relief efforts in Copenhagen aftermath
Reports from Copenhagen describe a major fire that destroyed churches and left about 7000 people homeless or ruined. The king ordered commissions to assess damages, rebuild St Mary and other churches, provide weekly subsistence, and stock timber and fuel for winter. Donations from the royal family and others surpassed 100000 Marks. International notes mention indemnities to a Danish minister and relief funds, while other European dispatches cover Baltic and Prussian affairs, trade restrictions on the Ostend Company, and naval movements along Deal and Portsmouth.
