Ministerial Movements and War News From Strasburg to Hanover
Advices from Strasburg report several princes' ministers already at Baden for the Congress, with the Duke of Lorraine's levies under arms by May 13. In Holland, lottery tickets close Aug 18 and draw begins Oct 11 as towns meet the 20 million goal. Messages note peace talks, pensions, and measures against the Pretender, with parliamentary actions on highways and hospitality institutions. A Burgess seat for Leicester is vacant after Sir George Beaufort’s resignation. The Lords praise the peace with France and Spain, while Hanover envoys face court bans. Admirals report Dover and Dunkirk actions, and a barque fleet trades Sugar and provisions to Bristol and other ports.
