Mail from France outlines China trade company plan
Yesterday's mail from France reports King George approves a proposal by merchant Oldenberg to establish a company sending ships to China annually. The charter runs ten years with embassy oversight for the emperor’s court, aiming to benefit the new venture. Paris dispatch notes resolutions by the Chatelet to limit references and protests against the Chamber of Vacations. An arret suppresses Montauban's archbishop mandate over Te Deum for the Duke of Aquitaine's birth.
