Clergy letter defends monarchy against reform in France
The Daily Courant notes letters from Paris dated August 6 NS detailing a General Assembly of the Clergy of France in the Convent of the Great Augustins. The clergy condemn licentiousness and invectives against the constitution, defend the king, and pledge obedience. They denounce a bishop’s pamphlet urging rebellion and urge faith and fidelity to the sovereign authority. Seville dispatch and court movements follow in later lines.
