Melancholy Reports From Surinam and Trade Shifts
Reports from Surinam describe a rising of most enslaved people who, aligned with locals, burned plantations. Meanwhile the Dutch corm trade is troubled by political shifts in Pelath Proffia and Prussian duties. The States General consider wheat imports via the Cape of Good Hope to avert shortages. Guildhall arrests proceed, and other city affairs include a Recordership election, clerk appointments, and a Portsmouth dispatch about the Duke of Gloucester.
