Public critique and weather notes in 1763 letters
A London Evening Post reader laments parliamentary ministers while noting a new Dutch treaty basis and warns against public virtue masking private vice. Elsewhere, letters describe a severe thunderstorm in St Neot and meteorological observations of electric clouds, rain and aurora-like effects across Europe with reports from Leghorn Milan and Coblentz.
London Extracts on Treaty Debt and Political Changes
From The London extract dated Aug 19 reports disputes between France and England over a nine million livre subsistence payment for French prisoners, and hints at ministerial shifts with Sandwich likely becoming Secretary of State and Winchelsea to lead the Admiralty. It notes unrest in Ireland over removals and pensions, social events, robberies, a coroner’s inquest into a murder, and various shipping, trade, and local incidents across Britain and Ireland.
