Royal birth and court arrivals noted in London gossips
The Philadelphia and London gazettes report the birth of a prince to the Princess Dowager of Wales with Tower gun salutes and favorable health news. The piece also notes private audiences for Chevalier d’Eon with Augusta and York, and a dividend notice for creditors in Trowbridge. It includes extensive dispatches from American fortifications about ongoing Indian attacks and frontier warfare, with letters from Detroit, Fort Cumberland, and Winchester describing siege conditions, troop movements, and morale. It also covers various European court movements, imports protests in Ireland, and shipping news from Quebec to the Tagus.
