London Evening Post Notes France Mail and South Sea Talks
The London Evening Post reports from February 8 to 10 and notes a mail from France arriving in London. A courier from Mr Keene, Spain's minister to Madrid, discusses the South Sea Company affairs and a proposed convention to compensate English merchants for ship losses in the West Indies. It mentions a negotiated indemnity and a formal settlement. The Paris A la Main item adds that Marquess de Maillébonis plans Corsica operations and a June campaign, with Cherbourg harbour works resuming after a delay.
