French Triumphs in Westphalia and Allied Victory at Minden
The narrative reports French forces driven from Ofnabrug and the Weser, with Marshal Contades ordered to advance and Prince Ferdinand leading a four hour battle that secured a decisive Allied victory. It notes English infantry and Phillips artillery, a near annihilated English cavalry, and a royal thanksgiving order. Dispatches describe American and Caribbean trade, naval armaments, and Brest fleet movements amid broader European hostilities. The piece covers reports from Guadalupe, Dunkirk, and Toulon, plus local London notices on deaths, crime, and public affairs.
