Incoming packets bring varied dispatches from Rome to London
The report details arrivals of six British packets with mail, a solemn Becket memory service in Canterbury with papal and royal figures, uncertain Constantinople insurrection rumors, Ostend privateers seized, and naval preparations. Paris notes confusion over ministers, and Vienna announces empress mother’s death. Rome reports Sobieski’s gifts, Hamburg and Stockholm chatter, Whitehall cites Spain’s Quadruple Alliance, and minor court notices.
