King's Patent Shining Liquid Blacking Cakes
An 18th century notice describes cakes for making a shining liquid blacking for shoes and boots. By adding only water, the mixture yields a durable gloss that preserves leather, prevents cracking, stays pliable, and avoids sticking to fingers. Sold wholesale and retail by William Bayley in Cockspur Street, London, with caution labels to deter counterfeiting. The Gazette also mentions court intrigues, naval news, and local happenings in a dense, period-voice style.

Postscript on West Indies advices misrepresented
A correspondent notes that last Tuesday’s postscript summarizing advices from the West Indies attributed to Captain Fielding shows distortions. The writer compares the Gazette draft to other papers and claims only the London Evening Post told the truth briefly about Martinique and D’Espain’s blockade.
