Nov. 18. . . To the author of the Westminster Journal. . .
Last night the campaign opened at the little t------ in
the H---Market, from whence we hear that the victorious
troops of the Grand Monarque, headed by the Rt. Hon. the
Lady P---, the celebrated Miss A--, with their auxiliaries,
his G-- the D--- of H----, Lord H---, Lord &c. M.G. &c. and
several others of as great honour and rank, attacked the
gallery sword in hand, (occasioned by a few unpolite English
attempting to interrupt them in their performance) with such
great success, that, be it spoken to their immortal fame,
they entirely defeated ten gentlemen, some of whom were run
thro' the arms, face, eyes and body: Three of the valiant
heroes beat a boy almost to death ! After which they made a
most gallant retreat, and joined their commanders the
ladies; However the Anglo Fool Party at last reign'd
triumphant, and all the C-urt Wh--s,
and Gallic sc-undr-ls, hiss'd out of the house. The pit was
crouded with French cooks, barbers and valets.
