Royal Address and Oxford University Welcome to the Heir
A 1760 convocation house address praises the heir to the throne for virtue and the prospect of peace. The University of Oxford pledges support and duty, highlighting monarchy, learning, and religion, with subsequent royal response about protection and favor. Other cities and institutions submit addresses expressing loyalty to the monarchy. A late 18th century mail from Flanders reports a French prize’s interception near Scheveningen, with speculation on British expedition destinations and possible landing in Embden.
