THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Oct. 12, 1762  

* Battle of Signal Hill - Newfoundland 
* British forces recapture from the French 

Page 6 has news headed: "America" with Boston and Charleston datelines, the latter mentioning: "Edward Wilkinson is appointed, by the directors of the trade with the Cherokees, to be factor for that purpose...".
The back page has a very brief but notable report: "This morning an express arrived at the Admiralty with the agreeable news of the retaking the Island of Newfoundland from the French."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches, rubbing to the front page causes a small hole, otherwise good condition.

Background: The October 12, 1762 edition of The London Chronicle carries major geopolitical weight wrapped in brief newspaper prose, as its Admiralty report announces the British recapture of Newfoundland—a victory secured at the Battle of Signal Hill on September 15, 1762, which effectively concluded the North American theater of the Seven Years' War. Just months prior in June 1762, a French naval force under the Comte d'Haussonville had launched a surprise raid on St. John's, seizing the island and its immensely valuable cod fisheries to secure leverage for upcoming European peace negotiations. In response, British Lieutenant Colonel William Amherst launched a swift counter-offensive, executing a daring amphibious landing and a surprise assault up the steep cliffs of Signal Hill to dislodge the French defenders, leading to their formal surrender at Fort William on September 18. Because trans-Atlantic dispatches relied on weeks-long ship transit, the arrival of this express news in London was celebrated as a decisive triumph that neutralized France's final bargaining chip and ensured Britain's dominant standing leading into the 1763 Treaty of Paris.
