Boston, September 27. A ball was made last Monday evening
at Concert-Hall, by several Officers and gentlemen who are
to accompany G---l S-----y in his voyage to England--We are
told there was a more brilliant appearance of ladies and
military gentlemen than at the ball mention'd in our last,
numbers of whom had their friends and near relations at
Oswego when it fell into the hands of the French &
Indians--great quantities of serpents, squibs & other
powder-works were thrown by the croud around the house, in
honour of the military dancers.--After the ball the company
was regaled with a most elegant supper; and that mirth and
gaiety was maintain'd thro' the whole evening, which the
present happy situation of our affairs both in Europe and
American, may sufficiently countenance.
