Boston, October 3. Extract of a letter from London, dated
July 29. Our news writers have had enough to do to perswade
the French to believe they were beaten, for they sung Te
Deum in all their churches for the victory they had gained,
but I take it they sung it because they ran away, and for
those that escaped being kill'd or drowned; for they had the
impudence in Paris, in the coffee-houses, to make their
brags of the victory, but now they sing another tune, and
their rejoicings are turned into mournings. . . [13 more
