Suppression Plans Dominate Council Session Amid Tense Debate
August 19 meeting of the Council of Five Hundred saw Mailhe push a plan to suppress monasteries and religious establishments in Belgium, while Feres argued for full suppression including secular clergy. The discussion ended as the body formed a Secret Committee on finances. Separately, a treaty with the Circle of Franconia yielded eight million livres due in 40 days and 2000 horses. In Hyde Park, two Americans, Wm Carpenter and Joan Parvez, clashed over American affairs, resulting in Carpenter's death after a duel. Bow Street court heard a case of a house dispute ending in a fatal shooting involving Miss Jones and Mr Yates, nephew of the deceased comedian.
