WILLIAMSBURG, October 7Extract of a letter from gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in Virginia dated September 16.
"After speaking of the two petitions from the city of London to the Throne, respecting America, formerly published, their reception, and the resolutions of the city thereupon, he says: "These proceedings seem to lead to something important in favour of America. Letters to—mention, that the ministry now declare, that the matter must be made up with America; and to another gentleman in this city, that no more troops are to be sent to America. The ministry are in the utmost consternation , and the American cause gains ground daily with the people."
By a letter from another gentleman in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 25th, we have the agreeable intelligence that mrs. NELSON, mr. WYTHE and his lady, mr. FRANCIS L. LEE and his lady, with their several servants, are safely through the smallpox.
