[London] Nov. 10. About five o'clock in the morning, a
dreadful fire broke out at Hamlin's Coffee-house, in
Sweeting's-Alley, near the Royal-Exchange, which consumed
that and the New-York Coffee-house adjoining to it. . . [16
lines, list of houses and shops destroyed] Several other
houses were very much damaged, among which are the Red-Lion
and Sun Ale-house, and Mr. Box's House, a music shop, in
Sweeting's-Alley; Mr. Watmore's, a barber, in Spread-Eagle
Court, and the Swan and Rummer, in Finch-Lane. It is
thought the fire began in a room belonging to a man who
played music upon glasses, and lodged at Hamlin's Coffee-
house, and it is reported that he perished in the flames. .
