Address of Parliament Knights to the Earl of Wharton on defacing the William III statue
The Knights, Citizens and Burgesses in Parliament praise Lord Wharton for pursuing militant attackers who defaced the statue of King William III. The document condemns those attacking the memory of the deliverer and reiterates Protestant loyalty, condemning Popery and French slavery while lauding the Hanoverian succession and the Queen. News from the Continent references military actions near Bethune, Var, and Menin with reports on forces, routes, and injuries, including Stanhope.
