Parental Parliament in Paris decries edicts amid French crisis
The Paris Parliament denounces royal edicts causing widespread hardship and decries tax and supply measures. It warns that excess charges, rents, and duties depress trade, reduce revenue, and strain public credit while urging the king to heed the people’s distress. News notes include military steps against Prussia and reports of fleet movements, plus local marriages and deaths.
