Publick News I have none to tell you but what is or will
be in the News-papers. The news of the day is that
a Quebec Gazette is come over of the 24th or 26th last
I forget which. It brings advice of the demolition of the
Rebel Fleet upon the Lakes. It consisted of 15 Vessels
12 were destroyd or taken; the remaining three for the
present escaped — particulars are promised in the next
Gazette Mr Lind's Mr Clark got this intelligence
from the Post office this afternoon; at which place
a paper was handd about to the effect above mentioned
a copy of which he shew'd me.

There is said to be a terrible crash among the W.
India Merchants. One posted for 700,000 £.
Another for nearly that Sum, who will not pay
10s in the £.

Fitzherbert's Macaroni Brother, who was in his Brother's Chambers
when my Brother was in mine is made one of
the Sub-preceptors to the Prince of Wales. He is
said to be a man of sense and knowledge — He is lately
come from France Italy Germany &c and has the appearance
of a great Fribble (I believe you saw him)
but seemed very obliging and well-bred.
