Robbery and foggy tidings haunt distant ports
Last Saturday at seven, Mr. Marsh of Kilburne Bridge was robbed by three footpads of five shillings, his coat and buckles taken but his buttons retrieved. A lighter with coal sank after failing to pass a lock, drowning two watermen. Also, Thomas Moss, once sentenced to transportation, was jailed again for returning early. Porteous of Edinburgh’s reprieve triggered a riot. Porteous was executed after crowds seized the city. Reports from Kirkmichael praise Duncan Maclauchlan, while Oporto and Battle in Sussex recount vintages and a fatal cow attack. From Naples, Don Carlos’s galleys seized a slave galley. Don Fourinelli gifted a gold snuff-box to Signier Fourinelli. The solar eclipse was observed with precise timings. News from Lombardy, Brussels, Hanover, and Leghorn describe dispatches, evacuations, and duels.

It recalls Major-General Tardif's death at 83, his service in sieges, and defense of Cadiz. It also records the opening of the Assembly of the States of Artois and stock prices with various financial figures.
