Exile and election rumors from London and Brittany

Notes from London dated July 21 22 recount the exile of Marquis de la Fayette Duke de Praslin and the Lord Steward amid Brittany deputies sending to Paris. Reports claim clergy influence on French affairs plagues in Gibraltar denied by a traveler and Westminster election wagering spreads through taverns and public houses.

A clergyman in an inland county cites Tythe-day plans as a local aside.
