London Evening Post notices warn Protestants of growing Popery influence in nobility, arts, theatre, and religion. It fears Italian priests and Concerto Spirituale, calls Britons to unite in prayer, and urges opposition to what it portrays as a Catholic rise.
The piece mocks a bungled Danish war policy and a ridicule of our Court. It mentions ministers, Spain, a royal voyage, and sending Lady Sand wich to Hanover. Names like Sir Gilbert Elliot, Mr Charles Jenkinson, Madam Hoggenberg, and Madam Schwellenberg appear as confidants and tale-bearers. It also notes a Bradshaw appointment, a foot company for Lord Holland’s son, and pensions to Sir James Wol Laston. Rumors of visits to Paris by Lady Waldegrave and profits of Madam Schnellenberg’s agent are cited, with a Paris-gossip hint about the Pretender urged by the French Court to sustain Stuart lineage.
The piece praises Charles Fox for his early display of intellect and bold commentary, noting his recent success at Newmarket where he reportedly won almost 16,000, largely against Pincher. It mentions supporting figures Duke of Cumberland and Sir C. Bunbury, plus various parliamentary and court actions, smuggling incidents, aid to the poor by Lord Clive, accidents, fires, and society events from Jamaica to London, ending with ship movements from Deal.
