Philadelphia, February 24. Extract of a letter from
Montreal, January 18.
[11 lines on general news.] The Noblesse enter very
sanguinely into the scheme of raising troops, but the
priests we are assured disapprove of it. The greatest part
of the Noblesse reside in this district, and upwards of 50
of them are now gone down to Quebec, to pay their respects
to the Governor, and attend a Ball usually given by the
Government on the Queen's Birth-Night. They expect to come
back with commissions in their pockets, but our Governor has
not yet received his instructions.
