French Refusal to Pay Two Per Cent at Ville-France

From Florence July 8, reports say France protests the Savoy Custom House demand under the Utrecht Treaty Article 16 claiming no duty was paid in Charles Emancel's era. France is said to seek to post two ships at Antibes to oppose the duty. Other dispatches mention fleet movements, ministerial visits, and a Genoa report on the Great Duke’s health.
