Mail from France and London News Notes
The packet reports Milan April 30 discussing a proposed cession to Venice of the Adda banks and Lake Como with fears of price increases if Venetians gain control. It notes Embden May 3 storms, Norwegain fortifications, and General Assembly of the Asiatic Company at Hanover to discuss ships and cargoes. Paris May 7 reports Richelieu and Edgcumbe actions at Mahon and Fort St Philip. Country news from Newcastle and Southampton mentions executions, port troop movements, and civic elections. A broad Royalist reflection on Queen Elizabeth’s defense and a call for a national militia appears amid a lengthy historical quotation.
