London, April 16. . . [33 lines] The company last Wednesday
at Drapers Hall was very numerous and the most brilliant
almost ever seen in the city of London. There was said to
be about 240 who dined, amongst whom were nine Dukes and a
very considerable number more of the nobility and the
members of the House of Commons, who honoured the American
merchants with their company. Mr. Sheriff Trecothick was
chairman, and the whole entertainment, which was very
magnificent, was conducted with great regularity, and many
loyal and constitutional toasts were drank. There was
large band of music which perform'd in the Hall during
dinner time, and until late in the evening.
