Queries on British interests and French indemnities in 18th century trade
The writer poses seven pointed questions about indemnities for British subjects harmed in France and explored alleged orders by the Regent of France, Trouffe-Breeches, and Cardinal Fleury. He weighs whether delays, promises, or bribes influenced French actions, questions Britain’s leverage since 1722, and hints at leveraging redress via treaties, while critiquing London commentary and endorsing a forthcoming expedition sentiment.
