Baptism and British Empire Reports From London
London notes record the baptism of the Marquis of Granby’s newborn daughter Elizabeth Isabella at the Duke of Rutland’s home in Knightsbridge. The dispatch also cites Vienna on recruitments, Austrian Ottoman negotiations, French suspicions of Ruffian power, and wartime naval activity including Sir Richard Bickerton and the Terrible. A Quebec letter condemns rebel depredations, while Bilboa reports two English vessels seized by an American privateer. Local events mention press gangs, mayoral actions against impressment, and an earthquake shock felt in Northampton, Harborough, and Loughborough with a bright flame observed.
