Treaty debate on Dutch alliance and foreign mercenaries

The discussion centers on a treaty with the Landgrave of Hesse and the risk of foreign mercenaries. Sir James Fahnstone condemns mercenaries while Burke warns the alliance may entangle Britain in broader wars with France, Spain, Russia, and Prussia. The House votes to carry the motion and adjourns.

Deluge-like storm and a death in London notes

A chaotic scene describes thunder lightning rain hail and wind flooding as a French journalist likens it to Thessaly's Deluge. A British officer recently arrived from America shot himself in his Minories lodgings. A servant was tricked and a valuable box with papers vanished by a street procession of deception. Market prices for hops and bags are recorded, and a coroner's inquest in Devizes found hunger and cold caused a death in confinement. A witty Bon Mot at a west end party features a young lady rejecting envy of majesty, and social matches are noted around Dorchester and Norwood Park with prominent names and dates.
