War talk and ministerial fear amid Falkland Island tensions
A Broadstreet correspondent reports Spain has declared war on Great Britain and Madrid allegedly advises two ships to Gibraltar and two regiments to Minorca. The piece mockingly attacks ministers for claiming peace while Spain acts. It notes changes at the Treasury, a Madrid-origin advisory, and mentions naval promotions, orders for officers to join their regiments, the East India Company entertainment, and Cambridge University officer appointments.

Selim Calls for Honest Abuses of Ordnance Officers
Selim writes he will publish every abuse of Ordnance officers but will only reveal fats when authenticated. He appeals to honest men to uphold truth over arbitrary dictates of Sir Charles or Hartawell and to support a parliamentary inquiry beyond evasion. He notes that wartime intelligence about soot from Sir Charles must be authenticated before publication.
