A long parliamentary discussion addresses British trade to Africa, fleet seizures by Portuguese and Spaniards, and proposed im provements to commerce. Observers cite ministerial duties, reform prospects, and religious liberty critiques while contrasting past persecutions with modern reforms.
A brief verse from the London Evening Post declares the sermon consistent with God’s word and challenges any peer to confront the preacher, asserting readiness to meet him with liberty and courage.
The sermon delivered before the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts at St Mary le Bow on Friday Feb 23 1777 by William Archbishop of York is noted. It accompanied the debate in the Lords later that day and was printed for T Axteil Mrs Brece and Mr Kearby.
The Mail reports from Holland that a privateer off Gobt of the Helder seized a long boat and that an American vessel from Williams burgh arrived at Nantz with tobacco eaten on the spot by a squadron of English men of war. Washington is said to have 45,000 men under his command after recovering from illness. Letters from Bress note three or four men of war to cruise and protect navigation.
A fragmented colonial era column discusses the lucrative lucrative trade in historical volumes by a Scottish doctor and the status of Scottish writing in English. It notes Doctorates, Lord Chesterfield, and Atterbury, plus prize ships, parliamentary elections in East Lothian, and maritime movements. It also mentions forgeries of Royal Bank of Scotland notes, Sheridan operas, Mr Powell at Covent Garden, and various local notices including robberies, longevity oddities, and obituaries.
Abstract of a chaotic OCR stock page shows prices for Bank Stock, India Annuities, South Sea bonds, Consols, and 1926 issues. Entries list per cent rates, old and new annuities, India bonds, Navy bills, and lottery tickets with varied fragment figures such as 134 1-8 and 167 3-4, amid unclear descriptors and corrupted text. The readable items indicate a bustling but unclear market quote round with numerous fractional shillings and pence figures.
