Extract of a letter from New-York. The French don't at all
relish the loss of Canada, whatever their pretensions are to
the contrary, if we may judge from their actions, an
instance of which I shall give you, viz.---That very evening
the express arrived at London from Paris, with the account
of preliminary articles of peace being signed, there was to
have been a grand ball consisting of the principal French
gentlemen and ladies in the city, with the English; but on
hearing the French King had ceded to us all Canada, not one
Frenchman or lady appeared; notwithstanding, the English
gentlemen and ladies had the greatest pleasure, and opened
the ball with the tune of Canada is all our's, &c.
