Norwich, May 13. We hear that the Rev. General Brattle,
attorney at law, and Doctor of Physic, went from Boston to
Halifax, in character of Commissary's cook. It seems that
in the hurry and timidity of the flight, this complication
of excellencies, notwithstanding his eminent services,
particularly in feeding the rabbits, and singing that
beautiful elegy to their memory, was entirely forgotten, and
had no birth provided for him; although he was always
allowed to have a singular talent at running away.
