Philadelphia, June 12. . . This day I saw Mr. ---, who
informs me of his mother, Mrs. --, coming from Newport by a
flag last Saturday week; she says, a few days before she
came away, she was at the house of Mr. John Miller, who came
in and said, "the jig is over with us." Mrs. Miller asked
why. He answered that upwards of thirty letters were then
in town, received by the officers from England, all agreeing
that a French war was inevitable. Good news to hear of the
Tories crying out "the jig is over."
