Gazette des Deux-Ponts
The Gazette des Deux-Ponts was a French-language political newspaper in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was published in Zweibrücken on May 3, 1770 (hence the French name) and, although loyal to the prince, was considered one of the most enlightened and freest newspapers in absolutist Europe. From 1786 it appeared daily, making it the first political daily newspaper on the left bank of the Rhine. Among her subscribers in London, Paris, Vienna and Rome were Benjamin Franklin, among others, in addition to various royal courts and the educated in southern Germany .
The editor was Jean Pierre Solome , Privy Councilor of Duke Charles II August .
The newspaper appeared after Karl August's flight from Zweibrücken in Mannheim and was subsequently named Journal politique de l'Europe, faisant suite a la Gazette des Deux-Ponts , Journal politique de Mannheim and Nouvelles litteraires et politiques .
