London Evening-Post and Plantation News Summary
A London Evening Post item reports complaints against France, naval actions on the Rhine, and captures near Objets. In Boston, Gov. Shirley returns to Penobscot with fortification plans, a brigadier dies, and Rangers and Mohawks pursue enemy stores toward Ticonderoga. Reports from Antigua note English prisoners in Martinique and starving conditions. The piece also reflects on Britain's rights, strength, and policy, citing Montesquieu and Demosthenes to argue national resilience. It includes a city ward breakdown of votes on a new bridge, military dispositions in Ireland and Britain, militia reorganizations, and East India Company appointments for the coming year.
