Dispatches describe a mission to reconcile the two States. The Doctor, returning, met the Secretary of State and General Washington, who refused to heed his representations. The key offer claimed was the Executive Directory’s proposal to fund the debt from US commerce depreciations.
In Dublin on Wednesday Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College debated union with Great Britain and appointed a committee to instruct Representatives to vote against it, with only Greaves and Prior dissenting. Also noted were dispatches on rising unrest, murders, arson, and militia vigilance amid threats and attacks near Dublin.
In London between seven and eight o clock a fierce fire swept the Earl of Essex's spacious Curzon Street home as guests dined nearby. The blaze gutted the premises despite efforts by the family and staff, water shortages hindering containment. The incident prompted dispersal of guests to Mr Dent's house. The day also reported Irish rioting in St Giles, a court case over deserters, naval dispatches from India, and a deadly nursery fire in Fitzroy Square.
