London. Anecdote.  Last winter Mr. Wilkes was at Bath, and
meeting Burgoyne in one of the rooms, he asked if he
proposed to go next summer to Albany tho' the Lakes? . . .
[18 lines]  Tho' Mr. Burgoyne is much praised for his
dramatic abilities, a correspondent observes Major General
Gates has the advantage of him even in that respect, as the
former was never able to rise above a farce, whilst the
latter has executed a very affecting tragedy. . . [73 lines]
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn'd,
"Nor Hell a greater fury than a woman scorn'd.
