Also a short bit: "Dr. Franklin's plenipotentiary appointments are said to be 3,200 pounds a year." and also: "...received from Paris...that Arthur Lee, one of the American plenipotentiaries at the court of France, has been put under arrest for having carried on a treasonable correspondence with the English..." with more on this.
