London. . . Nov. 14. . . We hear that entertainment which
was intended to be given on the 12th instant by the French
ambassador at the Opera house, in honour of the birth of the
Duke of Burgundy, and which was postponed on account of the
death of the Prince of Orange, is still put off, nor is it
certain when the day will be fixed, as the wines,
sweetmeats, and the principal part of the provisions are to
be furnished from France, --a mere English entertainment,
not being esteemed superbe enough to celebrate so great and
happy an event.
