A letter from Sir P.S. defends the ministry for seeking peace with France and Britain’s trading interests. It contrasts Cardinal de Fleury with political rivals, argues peace sustains commerce, and rebuts charges of seeking excessive quiet. The piece also notes market movements, theatre events, and local notices, including a plea to Essex voters.
