By the Boston Post. London, June 16.  A correspondent says,
if at the ensuing naval review next week at Spithead, old
father Neptune should touch the -------'s stomach so with
his trydent as to spue up all his Scotch humours Lord
Sandwich will well deserve to be continued Head of the
Admiralty and will make ample amends for what has been done
either from his head or heart, but being the grand
instrument of bringing about so happy and glorious an event
to this poor oppressed nation, that has been for some time
past so screwed up to the highest peg of the Scotch fiddle.
