Sweden and France Seek to Seize Swedish Province Gains
Dispatches from Versailles report French influence growing in Sweden as tensions rise over provincial retakes and a Swedish envoy becomes minister of foreign affairs. Private letters from Jamaica recount a slave revolt near Savannnah, with terms offered for freedom and plantation rights. Obituaries note Lord Halifax's death and swearing in of Walpoles to Exchequer offices, amid stock price shifts and naval orders for Jamaica and Newfoundland stations.
