London Petition Urges Liberty Against Excise on Cider
From the Monitor an early modern plea by the City of London representatives to the King. They oppose excise duties on cider and perry, arguing such taxes threaten liberty, privacy, and the right to petition. They insist the city assembly acts as parliament for London and warn ministers against denying access to the sovereign.

King's Speech Seen As Minister's Live Charge
The North-Briton reports that the King's speech is regarded by both the legislature and public as the Minister's responsibility and is treated as the ministerial charge at the start of each session.
Speech on royal power and peace terms fuels parliamentary tension
A heated critique denounces the ministers for praising the definitive treaty while condemning allied terms and seizing on alleged royal prerogative. The speaker denounces economy rhetoric, calls for defence of liberties, and warns against crown overreach, urging unity with Scotland and resistance to foisting Ardenean policies.
Antigallcan and prize cited in post peace critique
The piece accuses ministers of failing to shield subjects and rights during peace talks. It questions the handling of the Antigallican affair and prize, noting repeated petitions for justice over six years and delays after preliminary articles were signed. It urges accountability or praise based on ministers' conduct.
