Williamsburg, in Virginia, July 6. Extract of a letter from
London, dated April 24. . .
I saw on the thirteenth (the noted Middlesex election day,
in the afternoon, as the grand procession of freeholders
returned through the city) the greatest concourse of people
that ever were known. . . I was stunned with the loud
huzzaing and acclamations on the event of the day, the
procession stopped at the palace, while the music played,
God save the King, the same was done at the mansion-house,
at night, the principal streets in the city were
illuminated. . .
