Vast colony planned by ministry for distant island
The Ministry plans a large, though thinly inhabited, colonization effort to revive monarchical splendor. They lure young men with up to 1200 livres bounty to sail for the East Indies, and reportedly may recruit 890 young girls from the General Hospital, though the island’s location and discovery remain uncertain.
