Description

Folios 186-187. Newsletter addressed to Sir Joseph Williamson. The thanksgiving for the peace was observed with much solemnity and rejoicing. The King came in the morning to his chapel here, where the bishop of Salisbury preached. His Majesty dined at Lord Romney's, and afterwards saw the fireworks prepared in St James's Square. The [chancel] quire of St Paul's church was opened the same day; the bishop of London preached, and the Lord Mayor and aldermen went thither in their formalities. The court martial for the trial of Captain Harlow [Thomas Harlowe] was held on board the Queen at the buoy of the Nore; Sir George Rooke and the rest of the flag officers and above forty captains were present. The trial lasted eleven hours, and ended with his acquittal. Captain Hubbard of the Devonshire was likewise tried and acquitted. Also mentions the sitting of Parliament (follows a brief account of the proceedings).News from Edinburgh say that Tullibardine's and Lindsey's regiments of foot are disbanded, and also Forbes' dragoons. Brigadier Cuningham died.
