Royal Commission appoints Cornwallis Keeper of the Rolls
Reports from London describe royal actions including the Great Seal passing for Charles Lord Cornwallis to be Keeper of the Rolls within the Tower Hamlets. Admiralty orders sent for transports to sail to Spithead while war news notes Spanish Fleet actions and Carolina expeditions. Major General Bowles departs to assume command, and courtly chatter mentions the Duke of Leeds engaged to Lady Mary Godolphin.
