Preliminaries of Peace Stir Conflict Over Fishing Rights
From the North Briton 28, debate over the peace preliminaries notes a treaty that seems to grant France fishing rights in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence while Britain keeps others at distance. It recalls past alliances with Scotland and England and cites Mr. Pitt's fluctuating stance, praising war for preserving fisheries. Despite conquests in Martinique and Hanover, the fishery position remains deteriorated and contested.

Fragment on St Peter and Miquelon cession and policy
A memorial critiques the St Peter and Miquelon cession to France under the preliminary articles saying a British commissary may reside there and French king’s word is the only security. It condemns the terms as yielding far too much to France, noting allied and colonial losses, and questions the definitive treaty and public handling of the secret negotiations. It warns that trade and debts in West Indian islands will suffer until after French and Spanish possession is resolved.
