Extract of a letter from New-York. The French don't at all
relish the loss of Canada, whatever their pretensions are to
the contrary, if we may judge from their actions, an
instance of which I shall give you, viz. ---That very
evening the express arrived at London from Paris, with the
account of preliminary articles of peace being signed, there
was to have been a grand ball consisting of the principal
French gentlemen and ladies in the city, with the English;
but on hearing the French King had ceded to us all Canada,
not one Frenchman or lady appeared; notwithstanding, the
English gentlemen and ladies had the greatest pleasure, and
open'd the ball with the tune of Canada is all our's, &c.
