Extract of a letter from Bristol. Nothing is to be seen
here but rejoicing for the great number of French prizes
brought into this port; our sailors are in the higest
spirits and full of money; and whilst on shoar, spend their
whole time in carousing, visiting their mistresses, going to
plays, serenading, &c. and dress'd out with lac'd hats,
tossels, swords with sword-knots, and in short, all things
that can give them an opportunity the quickest way to spend
their money. . . .
