King's Edict Targets City Profligates and Sicilian Dispatch
Letters from Naples and Stockholm report a royal strategy to escort the Princess de Piombino to Dresden and to form her household at the city frontiers. An edict orders disorderly women to quit the city by May 9, with public whippings and confiscations for harboring them. Stockholm notes frozen roads endangering travel and a pulpit order punishing anyone crossing the ice before proper passage. Paris reports the Grand Signor planning an early spring siege of Octaken, with Seraskier Bonneval sharing command. Parliament items include Suffolk MPs, a Holyrood peer election, sheriff choice in Middlesex, and various church livings. A major fire in Duke's Place damages twenty houses, prompting the Lord Mayor and Tower Guard to assist. Elsewhere, notable marriages, trade movements, ship cargo losses, and local appointments fill the day.
