British Decree Delayed as Troops Move to Marquin Cantonments
London reports the National Convention failed to pass a decree to prohibit payments from the country. British forces, except the 14th Regiment, are in cantonments at Marquin near the Prussian camp Maulde. Incoming dispatches note potential French attacks on Dunkirk and British embarkations from Plymouth as frigates cruise the Channel. Prince Louis of Wirtsmberg may be appointed to the throne unless he attends Grodno.

French privateer capture news sparks Paris revolution rumor
Friday morning reports say a French privateer captured off Lewes carried news of a Paris revolution on the 23d and the massacre of Danton and Marat. Lord Grenville received a letter from Newhaven via M. Lajaunais, but the detail name is unreliable, prompting a messenger to verify the claim. The episode is treated as likely a forgery, similar to a recent dubious letter about French landings at Domitica.

Fragments of Paris Convention Hearings Describe Riots and Murders
The report details papers presented to the convention including denunciations of Collot against Roland and an appeal to the Jacobins to spur massacre and drive Convention members from power. Marat’s letters praise the Girondins’ opponents and warn of the Marseillois marching on Paris with bread as vengeance. The galleries applaud. The convention orders minutes to note these cheers and, after a war committee report, strips military officers of brevet appointments issued after February.
