Transports arrive with Lord Loudon on board amid storm distress
Several transports arrive at port carrying Lord Loudon aboard while others struggle in a gale. One ship reportedly killed three unruly horses to regain control. Royal navy officers Capt. Montague and Capt. Obrien are said to be appointed to ships in the harbor. A Portuguese man of war in Lisbon's vicinity caught fire as the Oak made sail, causing no other damage. Local clergy moves and a duel in Hyde Park feature in the day’s news.
