Rumors of Armistice Baseless Amid War News
The Casfel report denies any suspension of arms between the French and Allied army, citing poor roads and lack of forage as delaying factors into June. Letters from Hamburgh on the 7th instant say Danish troops between Segeberg and Oldeste are breaking up, with divisions returning to Pinneberg and Altena and others assembling near the Elbe to serve Britain, while Copenhagen Petersburgh tensions edge toward a sword resolution. From Madrid, Lisbon hints English treaty renewals at Oporto. A satirical Paris pamphlet mocks M. dAffrey and French statesmen. A squadron sails from St Christopher’s to Jamaica, while French ships near Charente face river bars. Privateers capture several ships, and hay shipments to Germany and Portugal continue to be sent by Tower Wharf lighters. Multiple local deaths and appointments fill notices.

Taxing luxuries and state finances in a London Evening Post letter
A letter from Anglicus argues for taxing luxuries heavily while lightening taxes on essentials to curb smuggling and boost revenue. It urges strict scrutiny of wartime expenditures, calls for curbing stockjobbing, and advises prudent handling of public funds to protect credit and prevent financial ruin.
