Baltic Vessels Sunk or Driven Afloat by Gales
Reports from the Baltic describe Serjeants and soldiers tipped off to landings at Konigsberg aboard vessels freighted by the King of Prussia. One ship carrying Austrian officers and soldiers, after firing signals, was saved on the shore except for one man. Other ships possibly sunk or missing, with fear of another vessel lost at sea. The King moves to invest Dresden, and princes visit Holland and London. Paris notes clergy loans to the King of France, preparations for St Germain’s fair, and public notices of officials. Local items include marriages, deaths, a murder verdict, and weatherless floods in Lincolnshire. Shipping details show arrivals, exports, imports, and cruise movements near Spithead. The issue also lists theatre performances and river timings.

Dialogue of the Living Between Earl Buchanan and Duke Ossuna
The North Briton provides a dialogue between Earlof Buchanan and the Duke Ossuna debating peace with France in terms of colonies, trade, and taxes. They advocate fixing terms, pruning empire, and curbing sugar and fur trades while critiquing merchants and East India interests. The piece satirically mocks policy motives, calls for peace on any terms, and notes publication delays due to a suspected contributor’s capture.
