London, June 17. By the accounts received from our
correspondents in Flintshire, we learn that no greater
public testimony of the utility of the peace has been any
where shewn than in that county . . . [11 lines. When the
peace preliminaries were signed] April 21, a public ball
was given at Holy well by the great supporters of the
county, the Smelting Companies; and on the 11th of May by
the different Mine Adventurers. At each of those balls
there was the most brilliant appearance of ladies and
gentlemen, and the largest and most polite concourse of both
sexes ever seen in these parts; a most excellent band of
music was procured. The minuets and some country dances
being over, the company (consisting of some hundreds) sat
down to the most elegant supper, and a fine desert; . . .
