Fortifications strengthen town as Europe’s strongest defend
Reports describe upgraded defenses with new cannon lining the ramparts, a loyalist populace, and a 3,300-strong garrison of regiments under Dalton. Revolts shrink imperial forces to about 13,000 in arms, while nobles clash with the people over power and harmony efforts unfold with Cobentzel’s arrival.

Rumor Contradicted on Princess Royal Living Arrangements
London reports deny claims of a royal move to Kensington and confirm continued residence in the Queen's Palace with minor attendant changes. The Princess Royal and sisters will occupy Windsor apartments, and preparations keep the same royal household in place. A Madrid death is noted for the Duke of Medina Celi, aged 59.

St John’s Day Masonry Ceremony in London Fraternity
On Monday last the Fraternity of Ancient Masons of England marked St John’s Day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern with Grand Lodge delegates from forty London lodges and many visitors from Scotland and Ireland. Officers installed for 1790 include Marquis of Antrim as Grand Master and James Perry as Deputy Grand Master. The Old School Ancient Masons condemn the Modern Masons of Great Queen Street as irregular for deviating from ancient rites.
