London Proclamation Notes Dutch Threat and Irish Critique
Eight o clock missive from London reports no reply from Admiral Keppel as fleet movements reveal potential French or Spanish reinforcement to Minorca. Discontent rises in Parliament with ministers blamed for mismanagement while the Duke of Richmond praised for public service and military readiness. Local notices include theater entertainments at Astley’s Riding School and an obituary of a Richmond butcher, plus stock prices and commercial advertisements for Pearl Essence products.
