Extr a Letter from Paris on British affairs and Pretender
From Paris comes a lengthy private letter discussing Britain’s war posture and the Pretender’s expedition. It analyzes French aims, Jesuit influence, Netherlands politics, and potential embarkations, with late December reports from Edinburgh and London on rebels in Glasgow, Carlisle, and Stokiley. It notes troop movements, naval arrivals, and local arrests as Britain braces for further unrest and new regiments.
