THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 5, 1765 Page 6 has a bit concerning the situation in America: "...the French have liberty to build ships of war...in any part of his Most Catholic Majesty's American dominions. No less than five French men of war of the line are now in great forwardness at the Havannah and two set La Vera Cruz. They write from America that the celebrated Sir William Johnson is greatly idolized by the Indians; and that his indefatigable assiduity in the service of the public, joined to his great complacency to the various Indian Nations, has been almost as essential to the general interest as the national armies in that quarter of the globe."
The back page includes: "We hear inquiry will soon be made by authority, into the quantities of beaver and furrs, whether the produce of Hudson's Bay, or that of North America, which have been exported during the last seven years to France & Portugal."
Also: "Saturday the Cherokee Indians...embarked on board a ship in the river on their return home...they exhibited a complaint against some of the Virginians for encroaching upon their lands, and were dismissed by them with assurances of ample redress."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, a bit of fold foxing to the front page, red tax stamp on page 4, good condition.
