Embargo Ordered on Provisions for Export in 1740
The Dublin Gazette reports royal consideration of petitions from the House of Lords and Commons for an embargo on ships laden with corn, grain, starch, rice, beef, pork, and other victuals destined for foreign parts. The Crown orders immediate embargo across British coasts, with Treasury and Admiralty directions to enforce on all such ships. News from Vienna, Stockholm, and Berlin notes royal and imperial maneuvering, troop deployments, quarantines, and political moves toward a new emperor. Local reports include naval losses near Porto Rico and a reshuffle of Exchequer judges in Whitehall.
