Paris and Seville petitions drift over council power in Cadiz
From Madrid to Paris and Seville reports show tension over the Council of Commerce under Cardinal Alberoni. Deputies petition the King for reallocation of administration back to Seville, while letters from Moscow describe desertions and discipline issues. The King plans examinations of petitions by senior officials as naval and financial notes surface about prizes, pensions, and Indies trade. Local ports report arrivals from Jamaica and the Indies, with Bankers and court intrigue in London as a Recorder appeals to citizens for unity.
