Disorderly mob and royal funeral notes in December gazette
Reports describe a mob near Gonduit in Conduit-street guarded by musketeers, jailbreaks by bailiffs, and thefts from Mr Ware’s apothecary. Letters from Warsaw and Leghorn discuss Tartar incursions, imperial subsidies to Turkey, and France deploying ships for Corsica. London papers record Queen Caroline’s private interment and the elaborate Westminster funeral procession with a long list of attendees and court officers.
