A correspondent discusses the King’s December fast proclamation and a form of prayer drawn by archbishops and bishops. He questions conformity for dissenters and protests the war, asking readers to share thoughts on religious duties and political alignment. He signs as a well-wisher of the King.
A letter to the Printer of the London Evening Post quotes British monarchic pleas for peace in Europe while foreshadowing a looming war. The writer notes assurances from European courts, hopes for continued tranquility, and the need for a strong defence, questioning the true cause of the sudden militarization and the mediation role of the crowned heads. The missive critiques the speech writers and hints at hidden powers behind the crisis.
A fragmentary nineteenth century letter criticizes France and England amid ongoing conflict with America. It questions alliances, treaties, and naval strength, warning of inevitable war if French and Portuguese blueprints are pursued and noting rising taxes and scarce provisions at home.
Review of The Maid of the Oaks and The Double Festival ballet at Drury Lane. Praises Lady Bob Lardoon as portrayed by Mrs Abington and Lauds Mr Gallet for music and dancing. Favors the figu rantes scene and grand ballet but notes the latter lacks John Ball’s surprise factor. Managers receive public thanks for costly, attentive production.
Reports from London describe a heated Commons debate on naval issues. Sir Temple Luttrell accuses Lord Sandwich of mal administration, seeks official papers to prove faults, and faces orders.
