Cabinet crisis looms as ministers threaten resignations
London dispatch reports a cabinet meeting at the Chancellor's house where all Cabinet Counsellors except Lords Sandwich and G Germain warned that governing with those two in their posts is impossible. The Ministry allegedly resolved to resign if the King refuses to remove them, while later private letters note French Caribbean ships damaged near Martinique and British naval assets, including Sir Samuel Hood's fleet, seeking repairs and reassignments. Major-General Leslie is named to command the 63rd Regiment at Charles Town. The Pigmy cutter ran aground near Dunkirk with 14 marines guns onboard, later salvaged by garrison boats. Capt. Caldwell of the Agamemnon is expected to profit from French prizes, with each private in his force earning at least 50 pounds.

Fire at Farmer Wheat's farm sparks suspicion of arson
On a Saturday night a fierce fire at William Wheat's Grately estate destroyed two barns and multiple holdings inclining to arson. The blaze consumed corn, grain, a cow house and hay while the house remained untouched, prompting authorities to suspect deliberate ignition. Nearby Brimpton reported a remarkable ox with fat meat and heavy hides, while Salisbury noted a peculiar discovery of valuables in a late master's boxes.
