Governance urged to unite for Britain's wartime fate
An exhortation from London urges the great Council of the Nation to reform and unite to secure future success. It notes Britain’s ongoing war with a major European power, the need to protect plantations, commerce, and naval power, and the importance of Providence, frugality, and unanimity. Reports from Portsmouth, Plymouth, and the Downs describe naval movements, prize captures, and convoy matters, alongside domestic taxes, militia training, and various local notices and positions.
