Worcester, January 22. In a late London paper, was a
paragraph, informing the world, that a number of feather
beds, bottles of Lethe, spirits of hartshorn, and lavender,
&c. &c. were preparing to be sent to the British troops,
serving in America. Whether any, or all of these valuable
articles, have arrived, we have never yet learnt; but it is
shrewdly suspected, that Burgoyne's troops, have by some
means or other, procured and taken large draught's of Lethe-
-for the commanders have taken to dancing, and the privates
to robbing and deserting, the former forgetting their men,
and the latter their officers; and the whole forgetting they
are prisoners.
