Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 227: Hume to Conway. He has complained at Ramsault's slowness in the demolition of the jetties at Dunkirk. Praslin regards it as experimental. Hume has pressed for a reply about sending British engineers. The clergy having delayed payment of the free gift, the King has threatened to tax them on his own assessment, as was done by Machault. While the Parlement would support this, the Court is suspicious and the Conseil d'Etat annulled the decree by the Parlement, which annulled the declaration of the clergy. The Dauphin is seriously ill. The King has postponed his usual journey to Fontainebleau for 3 weeks. Prince Galitzin, the Russian envoy, has heard that the treaty between England and Russia has been signed at Petersburg.
Date and place: 1765 Sept 18 Paris.
