Birth of a Prince and Royal Entertainment in London
A London pageant recounts the Duke of Bedford visiting the king to congratulate on the birth of the young Prince and leaving for his Bedfordshire seat. Lord Warkworth comes of age with a grand Nortumberland House celebration attended by distinguished figures. Reports from Lisbon describe friction between English soldiers and Portuguese, including a priest’s dramatic punishment by the troops. Other items note fare increases at the Custom-House, ships launching, naval movements at Spithead, clerical appointments, and social notices such as marriages and a noble burial.
