L ON D O N, August 20.
WHEN the king was informed of
the capture of the 'Eaft and Weft-
India fleets, by Don Louis de Cordova,
he was immediately seized with horrid pa
roxyfms,,indicating the most violent symp
toms of that fpecics of madness, which at
tends persons in the e^ft, when bit by a
tarantula. Lord North, the chief physician
in politics, sent directly for the band of
state fidlers, who having,, as on such og
cafions is ufua|, played over several delec
table tynes to humour his Majesty's disor
der; they at last fiddled him into his fenfe£,
but he unfortunately relapsed again --Lord
North caught the disorder, and in a mo
ment, with epidemic fiviftnefs, the whole
court by is baneful influence, were in a
state of lunacy—Her Majefty # the Queen
leaped out pf her bed naked as Venus ;
and the Prince of Wales appeared as bare
as Apollo of Delphi—-The maids of honor
forgot their modesty ; the lords in waiting
forgot their breeches. A general tumult
ensued.-.-The guards-—the menial domef
ties —and the lords of the council, with
their secretaries, mingled together in the
great anti-chamber, tag-rag, and bobtail,
where they danced and capered to and fro,
belly to belly, back to back, right and left,
hands across, &c. The doctors are dis
puting on .the nature of the distemper---the
doctors of divinity are preparing to exor
cise the fpiritef madness which possessed
the court---the donors of law are taking
down notes of thecafe— the doctors of phy
fick are preparing clyfters and emeticks,
to drive the disorder up and down, ani
the undertakers of the kingdom are fnuff
ipg for the funerals of such as might be
come defunct.
On the 2d of this'mon,, a very extra
ordinary fight was seen acKirt-on le- Moor,,
in Cumberland, a man, his wife, and thir
ty of their children, walking to the Christ
tenifig of the thirty-firft. The youngest
of the walkers was 2 years and 5 months.
Sept. 7. Col. O'Hara is about to em
bark for America, in order to succeed ge
neral Matthews in the command of the de
tachment of guards, that officer being on his
passage home for the recovery of his health.
All .the civil officers who had retired
from Charlertown, and were living here
on pensions, have had this alternative gi
ven them-.-to receive a year's salary, and
return immediately, or be struck off the
pension lift.
The 10l sto government, and the army
and navy inAmerica, by the late capture,
will be very great, for twenty of the Weft-
India ships were entirely laden with stores,
provision,, &c. for their use, and amongst
other valuable articles, there were no less
than thirty-nine ihoufand sacks of flour.
