Tumult in Hamburg and Royal Court Dispatches 1718
Lettered news from Hamburg reports 30 killed or wounded as townsmen with arms clash with rioters while soldiers stand ready. Abroad, Petersburg letters expose a conspiracy against the Czar, and court audiences note new envoys and a mourning period. Stock prices, advertisements, and maritime notices fill the rest of this late-18th century sheet.
