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 plan to fund a mosque for Mohammedan converts is proposed, alongside speculative inland African trade boosting commerce and new colonial provisioning. A clergyman in an inland county cites Tythe-day plans as a local aside.

Duc de Tonnerre Escapes Execution in Grenoble Riots
London July 23 24 reports recount a near execution of the Duc de Tonnerre during the Grenoble upheaval. A hatchet raised to kill him was halted by a rival who argued hanging him would be an insult to a noble and general. Pity cooled the mob and a plan to hang him from a glass lustre was rejected. The piece notes various European political upheavals, a notable death, financial distress in Lyons, and praise for Major General Philip Skene.
