The House of Lords discussed support for the Slave Trade Limitation Bill with several amendments presented. The session adjourned with the bill ordered to be proceeded with tomorrow.
The session notes multiple motions on Exchequer bills, a 3 million supply, incomes, and Militia Act revisions. Records show committees on ways and means, payments from the consolidated fund, legal disputes over ship letters, and updates on naval and military movements in Portsmouth and Ashford Common.
London reports based on General Massena letters from Paris papers detailing a long series of May to June actions. Several French generals are recalled or fallen, Massena retreats near Zurich, and Alpine routes to Piedmont and Suza are discussed amid Allied advances and fortress shifts.
The report notes delays in news from Toulon and Leghorne where 16,000 troops reportedly joined Macponath’s army. Observers question simultaneous events and warn that French fortunes are unsettled, with Grenoble addresses, Civic unrest, and accusations of spies complicating the Directory’s grip.
Report of a malicous prosecution action by Rev Dr Horne against Mr Cowrer.
