The French Church Revenues and Portents of War
A lengthy summary of church wealth in France contrasted with royal costs, noting that a large portion of ecclesiastical income is paid to Rome or remains idle. The piece quotes Voltaire, critiques clerical exemptions, and observes how war and trade affect finances in Geneva and broader Europe. Reports also cover naval losses, ship arrivals, parliamentary affairs, crimes, and local incidents.
