Two Grand Masters in Free and Accepted Masons
The London Evening Post questions why two Grand Masters preside over the Free and Accepted Masons in Seingdon and calls it an absurdity and a disgrace. It mentions Joan Royce, to be executed for shouting during the Norwich riot, and warns Englishmen to beware how they shout at a mob or face hanging like Royce.

London Dispatches and Portuguese Trade Curbs
A London dispatch notes a packet sent to Governor Wright in Georgia. From Lisbon comes word that British Envoy Hay presented a memorial about Portugal’s export restrictions on specie easing English merchant grievances. Rumor places the Duke of Bedford as Lord Privy Seal, the Marquis of Rockingham as First Lord of the Treasury, and the Earls of Egmont and Halifax as Secretaries of State. The Scottish estate of the late Lord Hope yields about forty thousand pounds yearly.
