Arrival of Turkish Agha at Port and Royal Processions
The Daily Post reports the arrival of the Turkish Aga on the 13th with Baron Furk and a royal retinue. Guards, foot soldiers, and court pages accompany the coach and six horses to the hotel. A fine shallop awaits, with white rowers bearing the king’s cypher, then the retinue boards a fregate bound for Danzick amid cannon salutes. The day includes notices of courtly moves, appointments, and distant travels across Madrid, Paris, and Fontainebleau, with ships and markets noted.
