Justice, in its description, to an entertainment of which
every one (peaks with admiration.

It is very surprising, fays a correspondent, that the
time of the evacuation of New-York is so very inde
finite, and that of all the other places, either in pof
feftion of the French, Spaniards or Britiffi, is fixed?
It is very fortunate, fays another correspondent,
for the cause of humanity, that the war has termina
ted in favour of America: because we shall not ex
perience a repetition of those shocking feenes of public
and private butchery which disgrace the British an
nals of 1715 and 1745 ; for had the tyrant George Il r ,
whose wickedness and folly have pre.ipitated the
downfall of this country, succeeded in his nefarious
schemes, a ferocious soldiery, accompanied by Kirks
and Jefferies, innumerable, would nave been let loose 011
the good people of these United States.
