Royal ceremonies march through Westminster amid fleet and politics
Reports describe a grand installation of four Knights of the Bath at Westminster Abbey, a royal procession to the throne, and notes on Parliament in Paris and London. Admiralty updates include Sir Charles Wager’s promotion, fleet mobilizations, and plans to sail ships as tensions with Spain and the East Indies trade loom, with Jamaica letters noting reprisals and losses.
