Vesuvius threat and royal mourning in London GAZETTE
From the London Gazette a report of Vesuvius symptomology and an inventory disruption. It notes the Archduchess Josepha's death, the royal family in mourning, and plans for burial and movement to Presburg. Reports from Copenhagen and The Hague describe ships along Jutland, arrivals of the Prince and Princess of Orange, and expected ceremonies at Loo and The Hague. Includes Irish Parliament addresses praising the Crown, securing judges, and supporting Protestant Charter Schools and linen manufacture, with responses from Lord Townsend and counterparts. Cemeteries and state affairs reflect a period of royal transitions, governance by law, and imperial concerns.
