THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Oct. 5, 1782 Pages 7 & 8 have over half a page of "American News" with a letter from New York, with some items on the search for peace terms including: "...that orders were given to Mr. Grenville to offer the independency of the 13 provinces at the negociation at Paris...they transmitted it immediately by a flag of truce to Mr. Washington. The news took wing & threw us all into the greatest consternation. The report was that independency was actually & unconditionally granted...The distress & agitation of the people are beyond description; they look upon themselves as consigned to ruin & wretchedness because they were loyal & faithful to their sovereign..." with much more.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
