London News. Madrid documents detail king's illness and court move
Letters from Madrid report the king seized by a violent fever on the 26th of the last month, the queen moving the court to Madrid on the 29th. Access to the king is restricted to a few, with eight ships to be built in Biscay forts and six at San Felice. Lord Stanhope visits, and the king resumes duties at St. James's as honours and official appointments are granted amid financial stock and mortality tallies from the Bills of Mortality. Advertisements follow for clerical manuals, religious discourses, medical waters, and a parade of books and notices, including lost horses and inn notices.
