Eight Ships Commissioned Amid War News From America
London reports eight additional ships, mostly line-of-battle, placed in commission. Ministers expect word from America that the colonists have attacked Rhode Island. The House of Commons faces maneuvering over Lord George Germain's defense and Burgoyne's orders, with ministers aiming to starve the inquiry while raising new troops. Admirals named in yesterday's list and privateers’ actions near Antigua are noted, along with financial boosts for troops and a French ship captured near Creisie bound for St Domingo. A fire at an Derbyshire iron furnace kills two workers, and twins are born to the wife of Sir James Penny Man, while a burglary case leads to a jail commitment.

State of the forces in Ireland and American armies discussed
In a Commons session on January 26, Lord North and Colonel Barré considered producing full returns for the Irish forces and American armies. Barré withdrew his motion when North urged waiting for Lord Barrington, as papers from Navy and other offices were being prepared for Thursday. An authentic copy of the December 1777 letter from Franklin and Deane to Lord North urged humane treatment of prisoners and exchanges. The January 3, 1778 British reply declined the invasive proposal but offered to pay charitable gifts to prisoners and to consider exchanges and complaints through proper channels.
