Extract of a letter by the William Penn, from a gentleman in London, to his friend in Philadelphia, August 26.
'Your new become celebrated treaty maker was the same while here negotiating, as we understand he now is at New-York; he was intimate with and much adulated by the American loyal refugees, and the Scots and English tories, but was very little known to either the American Republicans, or the avowed whigs of this country; and it is here supposed, from intimacy with Bute's successor, Lord Jenkinson (the grand projector of the late American war, and of the present infernal war with the French Republic) that he has secured a return to England or Scotland, to stay, if not to affluent circumstances, that is, if his treaty should be damned in America, and himself become in danger of something more than the being burnt in effigy.'
