Description

Folio 209: Hume to Conway. The Assembly of the Clergy has published its declaration. It contains: 1) a remonstrance against impious and irreligious books; 2) a statement about the rights of the Spiritual power, interference by the Parlement about the Bull Unigenitus and the annulment of monastic vows; 3) an affirmation that the Bull Unigenitus is an article of faith. This declaration is thought to have been prepared by the Archbishop of Toulouse and has been suppressed by the Parlement. The King has given an evasive reply. They must make a free gift of 12 million (? livres) or the King will levy the tax in any case. Mezières is being recalled from Dunkirk. Law-abiding Britons will be in no danger there. France will soon acknowledge the King of Poland. The new King has confirmed the late King's nomination of Cardinal to the young abbé de Broglie, brother of the Marshal and the influence of the family grows. Bougan-ville has returned from settling one of the Mariane (? Maloines) islands, near Cape Horn, leaving 120 men and 20 women. Spain is claiming the islands.

Date and place: 1765 Sept [? 14] Paris.
