[From the London papers.] For the Public Ledger.
ON SEEING CAPT. A--AT MRS. CORNELY'S DREST FANTASTICALLY.
"Tis said that our soldiers so lazy are grown,
With luxury, plenty, and ease,
That they more for their carriage then courage are known,
And scarce known the use of a piece.
Let them say what they will, since it nobody galls,
And exclaim out, still louder and louder;
But there ne'er was more money expended in balls,
Or a greater consumption of powder.
