George Sweeney notes the publication schedule stating it is printed and published each Thursday.
The Warteuman will be published weekly at two dollars per year with two installments. No subscriber loses papers for arrears until paid. An excerpt from William Cobbett discusses emigration to America, praising republican opportunity, industry, and the limits of aristocratic privilege, contrasting American freedom with European monarchies.
The text argues that republican government uniquely rewards industry and virtue, unlike monarchies where noble estates are protected by primogeniture and property remains unalienable, preventing the poor laboring man from receiving recompense.
The April Scio massacre reports describe brutal acts against Christians, with Turks and the divan blamed for delaying imperial action. Russian moves toward war are discussed as Tatishen arrives in May and Alexander may join the army, with redeployments toward Minsk Riga and Danube operations.
The Turkish divan remains firm over Moldavia and Wallachia resisting Russian pressure and Greek rebellion. In Greece, authorities in districts show firmness while Greeks strive for liberty amid dangers. The report notes Greece’s appeal to freemen and praises the country as refined, pure, with serene air along the coasts, and compares it to Switzerland and Italy.
Madrid reports note servile factionists trying to stir revolt in districts but failing. Ferdinand travels with forest keepers for safety, while London denies a possible continental voyage. Royal introductions include Danish prince and princess to George IV. Discussions cover Duke of Saxe Gotha Altenburg death, Cork lord Kinsale, and Baring kidnapping tale amid rising ambassadorial expense figures.
The cortes and king sanction a hymn for Riego and bar April 13 celebrations at court. A committee seeks to trial Madrid’s political chief, amid ministry backing. The army applauds a pay-cut offer as loyalty and civic virtue. The royal carbineers are to be disbanded and merged with other cavalry regiments starting July 1.
From the London Courier in May, reports show melancholy proof of peasant misery in Ireland. In Sligo a committee of gentlemen surveyed the poor homes of the wretched populace.
