Exiled Venice Ministers and European Notes
London reports the Imperial and Spanish Residents at Venice have fled after a French minister was received. Remarks suggest Britain rarely makes lasting peace once at war, but an exception might occur with Mr Pirr. Beattie is said to be detained as a hostage by war authorities, MauHerpe was executed in Paris, and Peryam sits imprisoned at Lewes for passing a forged note. The Irish Bul acted to exclude pensioners from the House of Commons seating, vacating sixteen seats.
