Fragmentary London notices recount royal ceremony misprint and fleet news
A garbled early modern broadsheet describes a staged Spanish ambassador incident near a royal pageant with an inscription about Paris, plus ship movements headed to Holland. It notes Sir George Rooke's expected arrival with 67 ships at Spithead under Admiral Clowes and market notices for auctions, medicines, and books in Dublin and London.
