From the London prints.  Yesterday morning the battalion of
guards, consisting of 936 men, marched out of the tower, all
in high spirits for Germany, singing as they went, the new
ballad Away to the Marquis of Granby, at the end of which
they huzza'd, and began singing again, till they arrived at
the borough, where the inhabitants treated them with wine,
punch, beer, or whatever else they chose to drink, put money
into their pockets, and recommended to them to give a good
account of the French, which they promised they would, and
went off singing and huzzaing as before; this morning they
proceeded to Gravesend, from whence they are to embark for
Germany.
