Oxford Convocation Hails Wetherell Reappointment
A letter from the Earl of Litchfield urged renewing Rev Dr Wetherell as Vice-Chancellor for another year.

An officer at Gasport added a dispatch dated October 6 mentioning orders to stay and command the ship, with the Captain away seeking a ship after Swift was left in Pot Defire, South America.
