Mrs. Treville, at the London Coffee-House, near the
Exchange, who formerly kept the assembly at Newport, in
Rhode-Island, to the general satisfaction of the polite and
gay, who resorted to that place, has now fitted up (as
elegantly as the times will permit) a large commodious room
for the same purpose, and proposes to open it on Wednesday
evening at six o'clock; being encouraged thereto by
gentlemen of the first distinction in the army and navy.
Each gentleman is entitled to bring his partner, by
producing his ticket, the price of which is one dollar, and
for which Mrs. Treville obliges herself to furnish the
music, fire and candles, til 10 o'clock, after which hour
those gentlemen who are inclined to continue it longer, are
to pay for the further expence that may arise for their
entertainment. And as she has met with uncommon losses by
the rebellion, she implores the encouragement of the
gentlemen of the navy and army in particular, to whose
politeness and humanity she acknowledges herself greatly
indebted; and by which she flatters herself she shall be
enabled to give general satisfaction. N.B. Tickets, at one
dollar, to be had at the London Coffee House.
