Postscript dated 7 May 1790 states the King's pleasure that all officers in British regiments or on foreign stations must join their corps without delay, except those serving on Recruiting duty. Signed GEO. YONGE.
On Friday May 7 the Royal assent was granted by commission to the Court of Session term bill, the Stirling Road bill and other private measures. The Commissioners were Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Chancellor and Duke of Leeds. The Lord Chamberlain said the Address had been awaited. An appeal from the Court of Le-fton between William Waddel and Elizabeth Ayres and Ann Waddel was heard. Several Commons bills were read a first time and the session adjourned.
The House of Commons received notices on Monday to refer the King's message to a Committee of Supply and to address the American Loyalists case. A bill on distilleries was debated, with amendments to annual licences and transferability urged, and preparations for a large naval force against Spain discussed alongside press warrants and recruitment drives.
The piece notes daily fund volatility driven by fear and speculation after the royal message. It mentions brokers awaiting a significant balance due after the 25th, cabinet activity at Leeds, and the Duke of Richmond departing for Portsmouth with orders to man ships of war and prepare victuals for service.
