Marquis de San Felippe and other 18th century envoys arrive
Leghorn reports the Marquis de San Felippe arriving from Sardinia to Genoa to resume as envoy of the King of Spain. Mr. Davexant, British minister, heads to Genoa next week. Signior Mocenigo from Madrid likely winters at the court. Cadiz notes Admiral Cornwall in the Bay of Gibraltar and dispatches treaties with Mequinez. Hamburg mentions Prussia’s troop movements against Sweden. Dublin and Edinburgh items cover legal, postal, and stock news. London lists condemned criminals and various naval movements with stock quotes. The summary preserves named persons, places, dates, and actions from the disparate notes.
