Summary
Arrival of Mr. Barclay but does not know where he lives. Birth of dauphin and surrender of Cornwallis must have caused great joy in France. Success of the army will help American aims in Europe and will make Parliament either more open to peace or more aggressive in war effort. Hopes Americans will force the enemy to abandon their next campaign.
