Long Cries of Tradesmen and Naval News From May
A diverse list includes names like Woodhead Lane and Witty with Yorkshire horse-dealers, Bristol tobacco merchants, and Manchester vintners. The naval update notes Lord St Vincent’s Lisbon return, Parker’s fleet off Cadiz, the Ardent driven ashore, and La Virginie’s encounter with Intrepid. Port Jackson letters describe scarce money, high goods, and convict labor. Charitable sermons praise humane societies and youth reform, with a May 15 London ceremony granting Lord Duncan the Freedom of the City.
