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 run away, 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 rejoycings are turned
into mourning. . . .
