The London Gazette reports mourning for Prince Frederick William and birthday observations muted by tragedy. Danish court rewarded with Blue and White Ribbands for M. de Reventlau and others, while court appointments and grants are listed. Florence hosts Count Rosemberg with Grand Ducal robes. frost and Elbe ice hinder travel, and Ireland grants new peerages. A Virginia-borne grumble follows about political death, ending with an epitaph ridiculing Anti Sejanus and Foote’s wobbling wit.
