London's Foil on Peerages and American War Prospects
In London the piece notes speedily creating many peers in Ireland and England, naming Sir George Macartney, Sir William Mayne, Sir Charles Birgham, Archibald Acheson, Richard Phillips, Thomas Mantle, Howard, St Leger, Jeffery Amherst, Brownlow Cutt, George Pitt, Edward Southwell, Foley, Ryder, plus fourteen baronets. It argues Quebec and Boston are doomed to fall to Americans, mocks ministry unity, and suggests congress members may oppose the ministry, with Boon slated to move against Quebec from January first.
