By yesterdays eastern mail. London, February 15.
Though dancing be an indication of joy, in this and some
other parts of Europe, we are told in some parts of South
America it is the effect of sorrow: And it is certain that
in North America the rebels and King's troops have had many
a sorrowful dance. King David danced before the ark, on its
return to the city of Zion; but this was a dance of joy:
And no doubt King George would have no objection to a dance
on the return of his American Colonies to their allegiance.
('Tis a chance if his Majesty does not forget how to dance
before that happens.)
