Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 201: Rochford to Shelburne. He reports on French trade. France imports sugar from St. Domingo, Martinique and Guadeloupe but there are also exports of sugar, indigo and coffee to Hamburg and Holland and from Marseille to Trieste, as well as cotton. There is encouragement of agriculture in France. Corn may be moved from one province to another and exported. This brings money into France and means more ships and more sailors. Codfish are sent to Italy and Spain. Trade flourishes between Bordeaux and the French West Indian islands, involving 300 ships. Reference to the delivery of letters from the king [of Great Britain] to the princes of the blood. Encloses f.204 about Geneva, which he considers insolent.
Date and place: 1766 Dec 31 Paris.
