The Courant Targeting D Anvers and Jacobitism
A polemical letter condemns public rejoicings and a D Anvers congratulation as a farce. It accuses Jacobite faction leaders of promoting misled triumphs while exposing a failed excise scheme. The piece details a tea coffee and chocolate petition by druggists and merchants, its rejection by major traders, and the minister’s defense of restraint against popular insurrection. The author notes the author D Anvers’ song as proof of factional overreach and laments the infatuation of the people with political theater.
