Mediterrean unrest and colonial reports haunt Parliament
The piece mixes warnings of Barbary pirates near Tunis Tripoli and Algiers with political maneuvering in Parliament. It notes Henriques’s case and debt tax schemes under discussion, mentions arrears owed to officers, stock movements in Amsterdam and Hamburg, a libel burning in Hamburg, and a North American traveller’s warnings about Cherokee Creek Mohawk and other tribes. It ends with cargo imports, ship movements, and coin and stock prices from London.
