Infidelities and elections echo in a London sermon
An extended letter from Paris reprints a Jesuit sermon before the king condemning Infidelity and asserting clerical power, while attacking parliamentary authority. The piece roams through British politics, election bribes, scrutiny outcomes at Coventry and Colchester, and mockery of reform and corruption with vivid caricatures and local scandal. It also notes Prussia and Russia reforms, and reports on Newmarket races and horse entries with lively, period tone.
