Postscript on Flanders affair ends with calm magistrates
Postscript describes a street clash after signals fired by Pitot during a split crew confrontation with press gangs. One man killed, four gravely wounded, others hurt. Magistrates with four constables intervened, proclaiming peace, while reports note royal gifts, local ceremonies, and ongoing inquiries into public order and militia readiness.
