London, July 27. To perpetuate the glorious deserts of the
brave old Blakeney, whose well earned honour shall
immortalize his noble, tho' untitl'd name, I would propose,
that this brave and truly noble veteran, . . . shall make
his return to his King and Country by a public entry through
the streets of London.-- What a noble sight it would afford,
and how just the reward! to behold this venerable hero
heading the remains of his gallant and undaunted garrison
over Westminster-Bridge, with Drums beating, Colours flying,
and all the Honours their valour and conduct have extorted
even from the enemy. . . [26 lines of calumny]
