THE ANTIGALLICAN MONITOR & ANTI-CORSICAN CHRONICLE, London, Oct. 27, 1811 Published by Lewis Goldsmith, of Portuguese-Jewish extraction. Previous to publishing this newspaper he spent much time in France acting as a "secret agent" to Napoleon, including efforts to kidnap King Louis XVIII. Goldsmith escaped to England in 1809 & by 1811 he founded this newspaper (subsequently known as the British Monitor, which advocated tyrannicide) through which he denounced the French Revolution.
The front page has a letter: "To Napoleon the First". Page 4 has: "United States" concerning the situation with the Little Belt that would lead to the War of 1812. Also: "Indian Hostilities".
