Riot at Nottingham sparks bread riots and militia patrols
A Nottingham suburb erupts as bread supply fears trigger a mob to seize flour and wheat, attack bakers and shops, and clash with soldiers and volunteers. Rioters seize grain from barges, trap shopkeepers, and paralyze markets while authorities deploy cavalry and infantry and seek to quell the unrest. Police detain several, with women among the rioters, amid reports of widespread distress and calls for relief measures.

Turkish Admiral Pacba and court ministers in constantinople
A private letter from Constantinople dated June 25 details the Turkish naval power and key officials. Pacua the captain and son-in-law of the late sultan, commands the navy but lacks full influence. other leaders like Issour Aca and Sophian Aca rise through court favor. The piece also notes grand gifts to Portugal at Macao, and reflections on Paris theatres and Bartholomew Fair customs, plus a curious 2000-year-old barrow discovery and new inventions including a speaking trumpet and a self-reporting pistol.
