1. In LONDON there are cases of street fights between colonial and British troops which are due to the difference in pay and to the heavy burden borne by the British soldiers. The British get 5 to 7 shillings a week, whereas the dolonials [sic] get 7 to 10 shillings a day.
2. Yesterday there were about 50 ships of the French fleet at PORTSMOUTH.
