Mediation talks drift between Britain and Republick
A long dispatch from Paris outlines European diplomacy with France pressing mediation between Spain and England. It reports that the Marquess de Fenelon proposed a peace, but the States General would refuse if France aligned with Spain. Naples news raises Dutch commercial concerns, and Overyssel eyes canal navigation upgrades while fortifications on the IJssel edge toward a two million money outlay.

In a late Saturday afternoon poll for Bishopsgate Ward common councilmen, the Old Lift outpolled the New Lift by a large margin. Scrutiny was demanded by Mr. Cotton and Mr. Booth against the Old Lif. The editors hail the victory as a triumph of virtue and pledged effort by fourteen gentlemen, urging punishment of corruption.

Enduring Avarice and Ambition in Early Parliaments
Fragmentary text cites Sir and South Sea schemes stirring public prejudice against Excises and conventions. It notes a clash between Statesman and City Common Council, fears of septennial councils, and urges citizens to heed Bisio?scatE examples while observing restraint amid Revels and Treats.
