The King’s Friends at the Cocoa-
Tree are in high Spirits upon the Ex-
pedition taken by a certain great Lawy-
er to the Continent. The old convivi-
al Mirth is revived, the honest Toasts
&and loyal Songs circulate as formerly
with the social Glass— Here’s to
the Man that will do us most good.
— The Royal Exchange.— Speedy
&and happy. — These good old Toasts
are only interrupted by Songs of equal
Sense &and Loyalty.— Passengers, at least
such as call themselves the King’s FrdsFriends,
&and a few others can be found in the Neigh-
bourhood of St James’s, stop of an
Evening under the Windows, &and appear
highly delighted with the old favou-
rite Songs— He comes, he comes,
the Hero comes; sung by Mr ——, yethe
other Night, afforded particular
Pleasure, &and the Friends without
Doors joined in the Chorus, He’s
welcome to the British Shore, as they
did to those two admirable Songs—
Over the Water to Charley— and
The King shall enjoy his own again.

A Correspondent remarks, that
we are indebted to our Brethren on
the North Side of the Tweed for
some very singular Obligations. A
Scotch Favourite, at the Beginning 2057 (2057) X of the present Reign, disturbed yethe
political Tranquillity &and Happiness
of the Nation. A Scotch✝ Banker
threw our public Credit &and commer-
cial System into Confusion. A Scotch
Writerx̄ gave a cowardly &and almost
a mortal Stab to Patriotism in the
Person of Algernon Sydney: And
a Scotch ☒ Bookseller, with Scotch
Lawyers, have contributed to sup-
press every Effort of Genius, and
demolish the last Remains of Li-
terature amongst us.
