Philadelphia; May 15.
About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, (the wind
blowing strong from the weft)a shower of hail fell in
and about the upper part of this city. It was so large
and descended with such violence that most of the
houses on the eafl fide of the streets buffered considera
bly, by having the glass in their fronts broken. Some
loft twenty, others thirty to forty, and some sixty
panes. Gentlemen who observed, assure us that some
of the hail Pones measured fourinches in circumference,
and weighed from four to fix penny-weights. They re
sembled lumps of ice, being of irregular forms; and
it is feared must have done considerable damage in the
country. Happily it lasted but one or two minutes,
otherwise much more damage must have ensued.
During the above shower a number of horses in the
Greets were much frighted. A gentleman riding in
Front-street was thrown by hiscreature, which imme
diately run off.

Tbe ADDRESS of the Burgesses and other Offi
cers of the corporation of the borough of Wilming
ton.
To his Grace the Duke de Lauzun.
HAVING experienced wi h the highest fatisfaHi
on, the happy effects of tbe polite behaviour of
the officers, and the good discipline uniformly
preserved among the troops since they have been quar
tered in this place. We beg leave, previous to your
departure, to present you with this address, which is
not only intended to convey our filled approbation
of the good conduct of the legion, but that we confi.
der ourselves singularly obliged by the very zealous
and refpedful attention which has been constantly
shewn to the persons and interests of the inhabitants,
by colonel Hugau in particular, and the other offi
cers in general; and we conceive it highly to the ho
nor of the French army to observe, that though their
bravery has greatly contributed to the glorious revo
lution in the government of our country; yet their ci
vility and good conduct has occasioned a change in the
opinions of the citizens of America, which may be
considered a revolution the most difficult to accom
plish.
With every sentiment of esteem for your excellency's
many generous and amiable qualities, we most sincere
ly wish to you and the troops, a prosperous voyage
to France, and may you long enjoy every felicity, ac
companied with the just rewards of an illuflrious ap
proving monarch, for services which have been gain
ed with such singular merit, and crowned with such
glory and success.
