PHILADELPHIA, August 30.
Extract of a letter from Elizabeth-Town, Aug. 20.
You may depend that Lippencut is released from confinement: he obtained his final discharge on Friday last. His good friend Governor Franklin has embarked on board the packet for England. As a storm seems impending, it is probable he has retired to his plantation (as Paddy did) neither here nor there nor any where else: however, the experienced clemency of an indulgent Sovereign induced him to cross the Atlantic, to an asylum from the hands of justice.--But Lippencut has fared much better: five hundred pounds are collecting for his relief-- What great encouragement for a man to persevere in a bad cause!
