Williamsburg, July 6. Extract of a letter from London,
dated April 24. . . [51 lines mentioning confusion in city
resulting from "expulsion of Mr. Wilkes," status of
"American cause,"and describing "grand procession of
freeholders" on election day.] there was at least 50 000
people in the streets to see the procession pass; I was
stunned with the loud hazzaing 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. . . [18 lines describing illumination of the
houses that evening and possible actions to be taken by
Spitalfield weavers.]
