The Draper’s Address and London Woollen Trade Debate
Albion argues against overreliance on public remonstrance to back Mr Webber’s woollen scheme. He urges London citizens to delay judgment, seek prudent consideration, and reward merit if the plan proves beneficial to the nation, warning against undue public pressure and sensationalism. He notes the broader risk of national decline and hints at ongoing party reflections in the Draper’s Address.

Portsmouth Fleet Preparations and Royal Naval Supplies
London reports an unusual pork and dry provisions shipment from the Victualling Office to Portsmouth to rendezvous a large fleet. Monmouth and three other ships are being expedited from Deptford Yard, while crews for Rio de Janeiro from Windsor are to be reassigned for the voyage. Admiral Haddock withdraws from before Barcelona as a Spanish fleet nears. Silk prices fall at the East India Company sale, hinting at a substantial loss to the company. Notices of theatre performances and financial quotes follow, with a Royal African Company court date and local robe sellers advertising garments and riding attire.
