The Monitor No 41 on Ministers and Treasuries
The piece reports that a popular faction demanded removal of a dangerous minister and criticizes embezzlement of public funds, flawed treaties, and a Smyrna fleet attack before war. It cites Mr. Powle accusing the minister of causing fear of the French King, draining revenue, and financing a standing army to enslave the people, with heavy tax burdens and debt interests.
