London, April 22.  Last week as the convicts were passing
along to the water side, in order to be shipped for America,
with fifes playing before them, Thro' the Wood Laddie, &c. a
gentleman looking observed to another that they were very
joyous, which, a droll fellow, a convict, replied, Joyous!
aye so we are, master; and if you will but go along with us,
you will be quite transported.
