Peace sales and war news blur a busy London ink
London reports describe French propaganda urging citizens to melt down plate for coin and Bills from Quebec as Parliament notes strategic moves around Flanders and the Rhine. Dispatches from Portmouth and Halifax detail Hawke’s fleet actions, transports, and ships with 80 brass guns, while prizes of various sums are drawn at Guildhall. Obituaries record deaths in Dublin and Charleston, with trade and shipping data, and a sudden death in London.
