Marriage delay and war news from Vienna and Hull
Dated the 17th, notes that the marriage between the Hereditary Prince of Brunswick and Princess Augusta is agreed but will be held towards year end after Parliament consent and a dowry is arranged. Reports from Vienna mention Hungary unrest, Turkish encroachment, and Austrian moves for river vessels. A Guildhall court ordered new militia muster rolls due by August 6 and a general muster on September 1. Races at Newcastle with multiple sweepstakes and horse names follow, along with deaths and a murder-mrumor surrounding a Tokenhouse Yard lawyer. Export and import goods data, ship movements, and stock prices conclude with a quack medical ointment advertisement for the itch.
