London. . . Extract of a letter from Lincoln, August 14. 
Yesterday morning the 62d regiment of foot quartered here
received their new colours, and fired three vollies, in
honour of the Prince of Wale's birthday; and at night the
officers gave an elegant ball to the ladies and gentlemen of
the town.  The 62d was one of the regiments that suffered at
the convention of Saratoga.  Their colours were burnt by the
Americans, fearing they might be retaken. (Lye!)
