Other items note court appointments, a treasurer election in London, and political maneuvering as Lord Montague and Conway figures loom in late 18th century affairs.
London reports from Stockholm on Ruf Gan Minister opposition to French councils. A deputation to Count Alexis Orlow in Smyrna seeks relief for merchants, who are urged to avoid provoking imperial orders. Orlow’s courteous reply emphasizes prudence, readiness to assist within constraints, and hints Smyrna’s ambiguous colonial view in the Turkish realm. The exchange underscores tensions among European powers affecting Smyrna and Constantinople.

The group threatened his life if he attempted to hinder their escape, prompting him to allow them to depart quietly. Other crime notes include a Newgate commitment for burglary and several robberies and assaults in Clerkenwell and surrounding areas. Local market reports also note Canterbury hop-market activity.
