Event Details
A general court was held at Kensington which did not break up till late; after which, an express was dispatched to Mr. Trevor at the Hague, carrying dispatches of the greatest importance, in the present situation of affairs between Holland and France. The Dutch pretend that their republick has a noble apologist in England who maintains that they have done all in their power during the present war, and engages his honour for them that they will take no measure prejudicial to their allies. It was owing to the eloquence, they say, of this great man, that the motion was crushed for keeping at home the British troops, unless the States General would actually declare war against France.
