Grain imports free to end of June under Swedish rule
From the Bon Don Gazette dated April 19 in Stockholm, news notes that all grain may be imported free of duties in foreign and Swedish ships through June. It remains unclear whether foreign vessels bringing corn will enjoy full exemption from heavy imposts beyond pilot and light and sport expenses. Also reported is the King’s appointment granting Sir Charles Townley the title and office of Garter King of Arms, succeeding Stephen Martin Leake.
