IC.782.025
11 Jul 1782:33 (14/724)
Philadelphia, June 26. Notwithstanding all Mr. Rivington
and 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, fit
for service; a force we apprehend, that will give Mr.
Auctioneer Rodney some uneasy sensations. One would think
such glorious news as the Royal printer has fed his pious
little flock with for some weeks past, would have produced a
great deal of joy in the city of New York.
