Extract of a letter from Providence, June 2. [18 lines
unrelated news.] 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 30 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.
