Turbulent European threats spark troop-boost talk in 1771 dispatch
An extracted letter from The Hague dated February 8 reports the Council of State presenting a petition to the States General urging a large increase in troops for the Red publick this year, amid European trouble. It notes a 6000-man offer from Field Marshal Duke of Brunswick via his brother the Duke, seen as a prudent saving over raising new forces. Also mentions royal gifts to the Princess of Orange and a Polish magnates’ manifesto opposing a cession to Austria, with a dramatic account of a murder case in Arras and a brutal execution order in St. Omer’s. Details cover London officials, court news, and social events, including a Soho masquerade and various legal notices.
