Levee at St James and ministers in turmoil
Yesterday a levee at St James's preceded royal rest at Kew while papers on America were laid before the Upper House. Agents for New York Philadelphia Rhode Island and New Hampshire may attend the Board of Trade Monday. Dr William Barrell named Commissioner of Excise, vacating Haslemere seat. A vast fire at a German magazine near Vienna caused 1,500,000 dollars in damage and deaths among guards. The Emperor inspected the scene as inquiries proceed. A treaty with Berlin may see Upper Silesia ceded in a mounting political crisis.
