Printer of the London Evening Post writes a critical letter amid civil war strain. He argues debt growth and Civil List costs threaten stability, questions former economy and asserts present ministers misuse funds. The missive targets parliamentary influence, warns of bankruptcy and invasion, and defends liberty against tyrannical spending.
The excerpt discusses the long conflict between Philip II and the united Netherlands, noting mutual rancor and the States' judgment that peaceful measures were no longer possible. It argues kings rule for the people’s interests, not personal gain, and that in the Netherlands the prince and people had mutual engagements. It suggests seeking foreign aid when internal rights are at stake and warns Britain to heed lessons from Dutch struggles.
A dense historical notice recounts political turmoil overseas, noting Britain’s losses in North America, rising tensions with France and Russia, troop movements from Chatham to America, and parliamentary disputes in Westminster and London. It includes Royal Navy promotions, finance, and society anecdotes alongside theatre notices and obituaries.
