The Barbados Papers to the 12th Instant, brought by the Good Intent, contained the following important and highly gratifying intelligence: -
[not transcribed – European news]

To Argus.

Indeed, my good sir, I have grappled the hint,
And confess that the act, and the place, without trouble,
Could as well tempt a friend, an he pass'd it, to squint -
As it certainly caused you - a foe - to see double!

But all I contend for is this; - man of eyes! -
(And I wish once again, on your notice to press it;)
That no antler'd effect from a cause can arise,
So trifling - as she has been heard to confess it!

            A Friend to the Husband of Cecelia.

Ball at the Camp. [heading]

The Colonel and Officers of the Garrison entertained, with much taste and even considerable splendour, a large party of the most respectable inhabitants of this place, at their mess-room, the last evening.
The company (amongst which we noticed the first characters her,) was large and numerous even to overflowing; and the rooms, and approach to them, were made as handsome as some well-imagined, and certainly for the time allowed for it, well executed transparencies, could make them; and while we give the tribute of praise to the gentlemen of the garrison, who have, with such trouble, brought forward all that could please the eye and amuse the mind on such an occasion, we should come short of what is still due to them, if we did not acknowledge that their delicate and unwearied attention to their guests, and their most elegant and substantial supper, were not to be exceeded on any occasion.
