Notwithstanding all Mr. Rivington & his brethren have sung
and said, printed and lied about the total defeat of the
French fleet in the West-Indies, we have good authority to
assert, that the combined fleets in those seas do now amount
to 45 or 46 sail of the line. . . [25 lines describing
minimal effects of Rivington's reports]
