The City of Naples Tax Protests and Robbery Notice
The notice reports Neapolitan resistance to new taxes and export duties, with chatter of armed forces near Nidazzo and emigrant movements from Naples. It also describes a broad warning about a burglary by James Hampstead, a lookout-like description, and a reward for capture, plus various medical and mercantile advertisements and a public sale notice from London street vendors.
