London, November 14. . . We hear that the publick spirited
ladies who intend to introduce the wearing of muslins, are
determined not to receive any visits from gentlemen who
encourage Italian songsters, or drink any wines of the
growth of France. If such resolutions as those prevail, we
may hope to find, that operas, claret and cambricks, will
become as distasteful to the polite, as pensions, excise, &
standing armies are to the honest part of the British
nation.
