Paoli’s Corsican fortunes rise and fall as Matra’s forces capture Fort Aleria after Paoli retakes key posts. Contributions and finances in France prompt fear of military execution. The King of Prussia proclaims a reformist Confession of Faith and criticizes clerical power. Racing results at Guildford and Marlborough reveal notable horses and entrants, while dispatches note Count Flemming’s letters on religion and empire balance.
