Item # 716585 ·
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 15, 1783  Page 4 includes discussion in the "House of Commons" concerning the "Provincial Corps" which also talks of events from the Revolutionary Wary. A few bits: "...Col. Duncan's corps had signalized itself greatly at the second battle of Camden under Lord Rawdon. Col. Fanning's regiment had...performed the most distinguished service...It was well known with what gallantry & zeal this regiment behaved at Rhode Island when it was attacked by the Americans; to its conduct on that & many other trying occasions..." and some talk of Col. Tarleton.  Also, discussion of the: "American Trade Bill".
Page 5 has: "A letter from Paris says that Dr. Franklin is preparing to return home as soon as a gentleman arrives from America to reside at Paris as Ambassador from the United States of America; that he has paid all his Tradesmen's bills, and all his things are packed up ready for his departure."  Some talk of events in Vermont as well.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
