Brest Fleet Fitting and Irish Troops to March in April
No. 263 reports 15gt squadron fitting at Brest opposite Britain with several fire-ships and bomb-ketches. It notes 20,000 land-forces including the Irish brigade ordered to march toward ports near the British coast in April, amid war preparations along Flanders and Germany and enlistment of boys aged fourteen to fifteen. The piece argues the French are aggressors in Europe and defends England’s retaliations as lawful.
