Dublin events note the Earl of Granard arriving by Packet Boat from Holyhead and the Lord Bishop of Clogher with his Lady on the same day. Halfpence casks are aboard for the kingdom and a return voyage is planned to fetch the Earl of Kildare and his Lady. Also recorded are a new Guild clerk appointment and a marriage between Rev Wynne and Miss Coddington of Arhinchey Meath.
In London a new Parliament will bar seven Revenue Commissioners in Ireland, seven Virtualline Office Commissioners, the Clerk of the Pells, and related deputies and clerks from seats. The measure targets Treasury, Exchequer, Pells, Admiralty, and state secretaries, with few exceptions, as part of a broader push for reform before the next election. The move signals displeasure with prior ministers and argues for a general anti-placeman law to govern electoral votes.
In cautious terms the letter urges delaying open war against France until a strong national will and funding are secured. It notes En1co’s possible schemes, a veteran coachman’s bid for the Box, and several political and naval movements including ships under Sir Peter Warren sailing from St Helen’s and English transports entering Lisbon with Mont de la Jonquiere’s fleet.
