Berka reports August six wagons laden with ammunition have joined a King's Army. Field-pieces from the Arsenal are dispatched and 40 to 50 more are to be prepared. Paris notes 25,000 reinforcements march for the Lower Rhine. The English invasion plan is paused for now.
In London, the Surrey Militia trained in Rochester with Lord Borkney presiding though rain halted firing. Reports speak of a Carper affair and cabinet councils, with plans for a Militia Bill clause on county precedence.
