Unsettled politics and foreign news at St James's
Reports from St James's Cabinet Council reflect a split on recent alterations. Richard Vernon resigns as Clerk of the Board of Green Cloth, to be replaced by Lord Barringon, and John Osley, Esq. to fill vacated post. Colonel Barre tipped for Ireland vice-treasurer seat. Global dispatches note Brunswick royal visit, Nassau Weilbury, Jewish merchants seeking land trade charter, Seneca youths to England, and panic over coinage and housing renewal schemes amid theatre of races across Newcastle, Lancaster, Winchester, Hull, and other venues.
