From a late London paper.  For sale by auction, at the great
room, St. James's Street, the entire stock in trade of 
A Warlike Nation, just left off business.
  One hundred and twenty thousand men, very little of the
worse for use, and warranted as brave as at the first
moment--to be had dog cheap.
  Several thousand officers swords, very fit for Hyde Park,
the play  operas, &c. most of them having been used
elsewhere.  They are elegantly ornamented, and not a speck
of rust to be discovered, which is the more remarkable, as
many of them were never out of the sheath. . .
