King’s quarantine stance and Whig critique echo in Times letters
A Naples letter notes the king’s voluntary quarantine, landing delays, and health reports in Trani. The issue includes Buckingham’s Whig critique, then a lengthy defense of Tory fidelity in India and Parliament, praising Lord Ellenborough and Peel while accusing Whigs of broken promises. A Foreign Times list traces Continental noble titles held by English peers, followed by a discussion arguing commercial bills are safer than Exchequer bonds in crises.
