Protests, Plants, and Switzer refugees in 18th century notes
The Mercury reports riots in Maryland destroying tobacco crops to push prices up, crews recruited for Gibraltar and Port Mahon, ongoing Salzburg refugees seeking aid, Swiss and French Protestant preachers bound for New Georgia, and news of ships, trade exports, and royal visits. It notes Whey Hill fair prices, whale fisheries, and a Walpole gathering at Chelsea.
