Nightly procession closed and royal funeral noted
An irregular long dispatch reports a procession closing led by guards and Jamie coaches, followed by late night burial details of a high rank’s corpse in Henry VII’s Chapel. It also transmits diverse intelligence from Halifax Nova Scotia, and multiple naval and military updates about French, British, and Dutch forces, arrivals, casualties, and appointments.
