It reports provincial parliaments resisting edits until royal regulations are shared, Rouen Troyes Beauvais protests against the treaty with Britain, and French naval forces near Brest. Dispatches from Quebec mention brisk Newfoundland trade, scarce European goods, and the Mecca sultan’s murder of Mr Nevin’s family over rice discipline.
