London.  Extract of a letter from Exeter, May 7. "On the
Thansgiving [sic] Day here, scarcely three of our churches,
out of 14, had their bells ringing; and over most of the
church doors hung apples, dressed up in crape with this
inscription, "Excise the first fruits of peace.". . .[32
lines] As they passed through Fleet-Street, the bells of St.
Brides rang a Dumb-Peal;. . . [3 lines]
