Transcript | LONDON Sept 20 A letter from a merchant at Edinburgh has the following article; "I have received a letter from a friend in Philadelphia, in which he advises me to guard my countrymen against quitting their native country to come there in hope of mending their fortune; for confusion reigns among the Americans at this time, and there is no prospect of its being otherwise soon, as no regular form of government is yet perfectly established, and every one that is suspected of being a Loyalist is harassed without mercy." |
