Letters from Paris report strong parliamentary opposition to King Louis XV’s tax edicts proposed by Silhouette. The parliament refuses to register the measures, prompting debate on funding, potential paper money, and France’s strained finances amid ongoing continental conflicts. Reports also note Berlin dispatches of Daun toward Favet, and Prince Henry close behind, with a major battle looming.
