Tea trade and East India Company critique in Morning Post
The piece argues against free trade in tea, warning it will raise prices and lower quality. It condemns private dealers, defends the East India Company's maritime role, and cites Captain Dance's actions against French ships to bolster the case for keeping company control. It also condemns ministerial pressure on Charles Grant for Governor General and hints at broader harms from the commercial shift. The Irish Church section predicts renewed Irish tensions over tithe reform and notes a clergy gathering to raise funds after the Primate’s death.

Improvements in Paris New Obelisk Position and Treasures Stolen
In Paris the Obelisk of Luxor is set to stand on the Champs Elysées to improve views of the Tuileries and the Arch of the Etoile. The Pont de la Concorde statues will move to the Champs Elysées, with the Place fosses filled and grassy, while two triumphal chariot statues rise on the Carrousel. Separately, a robbery at Aldersgate Street Castle and Falcon inn nets more than 40 pounds of plate from two men, and at Manchester a silversmith’s prized items vanish after two men pose as guests and depart with a carpet bag and portmanteau containing a rosewood desk and important papers.
