Royal Gift Funds Hospital For Foundling Children
A royal grant of five thousand pounds is announced to endow and build a foundling hospital. An unrelated Hamburg merchant, injured when his horse bolted, survives after the Prince of Wales helps, and further dispatches note storms in Montgomery and press aboard in Spain. Reports from Basel, Spain, the Hague, and Constantinople cover armament, peace talks, and royal engagements across Europe.
