The Chester Mall has arrived with the London Journals of Sunday and the sheep of Friday reaching our office yesterday. Extracts prepared from our various POAQUTCEA provide a fair and distinct view of public affairs.
Extracted from a dispatch dated December 1 1806 from Bourdraux notes vague Peninsula intelligence. It signals public agitation against the present system with potential changes that could overthrow the existing government or merely topple the Court party and expel the King from Madrid. The letters discuss unrest, opposition to despot Monarchy, and fears of a major shift in Spanish affairs tied to Ferdinand’s position and the Crown’s ministers.
A fragmented late period note describes vast forces and impractical efforts amid crumbling Spain. It laments fanaticism, disappearance of leaders, and devastated roads as commerce vanishes and education decays under religious and political strife.
The Madrid letters report armed bands roaming Andalusia and Estramadura, largely deserters from Am erivo troops. Bands allegedly stop villages for provisions and free galley convicts under escort from Cadiz to Cuba. Other letters note robber bands aiming to plunder travelers and political ignorance delaying Cádiz expedition.
The London press reports unsettled rumors from Madrid of a possible revolution or flight of the king. Messages claim events in Spain are unclear and unverified, with speculation about Ferdinand VII’s fate and a rising revolutionary mood.
A Madrid letter claims troops deserted and allied guerrillas foment rebellion as Spain reels from unrest. Reports of massacres or royal escape are discounted. British correspondents note cautious, late Spanish news with no decisive events by December 6.
Reports from Aix-la-Chapelle warn of calamities in Germany as four memoirs discuss the present state. Bavaria issues an ordinance for a new representative constitution with deputies to be elected and a chamber to meet in January. Berlin dispatches indicate a state council committee has drafted a Prussian constitution.
Accounts from Ceylon via Madras as of July first show the island’s illness level rivaling 1803 with many Europeans fallen to fever. Also noted are ecclesiastical shifts under the Bishop of Calcutta affecting Government Chaplains including future civil appointments and the pearl fishery superintendent role.
In consequence of the Allied intervention at Aix-la-Chapelle, Bonaparte’s family in Rome were invited to appoint a physician to attend the ex-emperor in St Helena. They selected M. de Beauregard, the physician who attended Bonaparte at Elba and Paris, to accompany him to North America if he settles there. Beauregard is to depart immediately. A French ministerial communication also notes a prior smuggling banished operative at the Cape of Good Hope, who plans to run a vessel near the coast to spirit Bonaparte to the beach through a secret passage known to him as a smuggler.
French Deputies face delayed admission as proofs are produced. Balloting selects five candidates to nominate a President with Tavez and de Serre returning top, others to be decided Wednesday. Private letters hint at a loan reduction to 12 million rentes, cash for 10 million francs in 9 months, and 27 months to final pay. King visits after mass. War Minister names 260 officers. Count Corvette receives Grand Cordon. Funds on Tuesday about 63f Tac.
An express from Paris to London reported the funds closing at 62f 50c after a session where five per cent notes eased from earlier levels. A reliable informant noted latest bargains were struck at 63f.
London correspondent reports gradual stock gains with Consols around 79 and 3/4, led by a morning rise to 78 3/4 and later to 79. A London Sunday paper cites notable market deduction but no clear cause. Cash liquidity improves as money demand eases and Exchequer Bill premiums narrow from 1 1/2 to 1/4.
Bristol dated extract reports an insurgent privateer with twenty six guns and 130 men cruising near the West Coast of Ireland as seen by Captain Willey of the Friends and a Royal Navy schooner Pique. The piece also notes imperial appointments of Wellington as Field Marshal and other high commands across Russia Austria and Prussia.
A Dublin piece argues against renewing theatre manager Jogams monopoly. It condemns private gain over public welfare noting Theatre Royal profits could fund Mendicity and education for 2500 poor. It questions the plan to grant a patent and calls for charity over vanity.
The Pattiofy and Paes factions, opposing Royalists under Morillo, have for weeks been mobilizing forces for the December campaign. Morillo’s government holds Caracena while Paes’s troops, though smaller, are well equipped and disciplined. Both sides anticipate clashes by late December or early January as each aims to seize Garthagena from the opposing force.
Col Sir Dudley St. Ledger Hill arrives from Portugal en route to Carine while the Duke of York plans a London visit to Windor. Royal Highnesses across Dover and Windpor prepare for summer residences, with the Duchess of Rutland delivering a child at Delvoir Castle. The Prince Regent may select Kew as a principal summer residence as royal households reorganize. The late Queen’s horses move to London for display and royal facilities. Major figures, courts, and announcements fill this fragmentary page with courtly logistics and society notices.
