Parsonage of Parismon: Royal Tide and Privateer Pursuits
A fragmented 1761 English newspaper extract recounts parliamentary concerns over conquests in Italy, royal entertainments, naval actions, ship losses, and public benevolence. Reports include Capt. Dennis chasing a 24-gun privateer near Plymouth, the privateer Arnoux, and ships arriving at Poole and Weymouth, plus social items on duels, ducal visits, and charitable acts aiding a mother with child after a coach incident.
