A fragmentary note describes mail arriving from France and Holland to a loft, with unclear punctuation and stray characters. The readable portion hints at correspondence or shipments but yields no concrete events, dates, or names to confirm a specific story.
Hague May 172. Letters from Germany report that the French king rejects the Plan of Peace after mature review and calls for a new Plan excluding all former articles. Spain and Sardinia likewise: their ministers agree with Fenelon, seeking conditions for possible accommodation. Reports indicate troop movements near Philipsburg and strategic shifts as commanders prepare for Rhine campaigns.
Ireland report details 89 men seized in Dublin by Mr. Mercer aboard a sloop bound for France. They were landed at Newgate after being captured in the bay by two companies of four sheriffs. A separate Derry note describes Charles O Cahan convicted of burglary and abduction, to be executed at Kilrea with a large guard, amid riots and Papist associations.
London dispatches describe William Stanhope and the Earl of Dundonald taking leave as the King plans a Holland voyage to Hanover.
