A London paper of the 11 th or April itates, that Mr. Ruff, the melfenger, had left London the day before for Plymouth, to embark for America, with dcijwtches for the Britifh Miniiler, Mr. Poller. The L'Orient fquadron, after being at fea 20„ days, arrived at Breft on the 29th of March, having made feveral prizes. The King of England remained as well as ufal, and no change had taken place relative to American affairs.

Thefc arguments w*/?c too fpecious to be wilhftood, the art^ of Vanity prevailed, and Modcfty fcon had the mortification of feeing hcrfelt deferted by her former companion. Afiurance now left without a guide, and hmricd on by her now aflbciate, ran into a tbonfand extravagancies. She thrult herfelf into every company, aftumed airs of vail im¬ portance and wifdom, was always loudeft in convcrfation, and in a flioit time became no¬ torious for the folly of her conduct.
