A dated missive purports a twenty five year old woman’s reproachful note about marriage tradeoffs. She rejects any suitor’s claim and laments lifelong singleness, signing as A. B. Mails from Helland and Flanders with a wry postscript from London papers. The dispatch also mentions papal cannons and a German Vienna update on Archduke marriage to the Infanta of Parma.
Reports from Saxony note Prussia and Austria amassing near Leipsic with Gen. Henry's 50,000 men, while Daun nears the enemy and French activity grows at Frankfurt and Dorkien. Paris cites preparations for an invasion of Scotland as weather allows, with English defenses tightening.
A historical fragment discusses proposals to end hostilities by Minorca exchanges, France ceding fortifications, reducing their naval force to 20 ships, and Britain guaranteeing trade security. If terms fail, it suggests Britain withdraws from trade relations to weaken France, invoking a quoted Cicero maxim.
