Pope appoints Merlini as Apostolic Commissary with 600 soldiers

Merlini is named Apostolic Commissary with legatine powers and travels on a circuit with 600 soldiers to curb smugglers and disturbances.

Country news notes militia enrollments in Yorkshire towns, Lord Mayor George Fox Lane hosting dragoons and local clergy changes follow.
