Debate on imperial power and Americ an rebellion in Parliament
Extracts recountkins from an anonymous House of Lords debate in which advocates defend the supreme legislative authority of Britain against American rebellion. The discourse attacks the idea of surrender to America, notes opposition to ministers, and criticizes peers who urge concessions. The piece includes a second long excerpt from a Lisbon court report detailing the execution of John Baptista Pele for conspiracy and murder attempts against the Marquis of Pombal.
