Col. Pringle has just arrived from Scotland, and extremely happy with his new daughter. Lord Pomfret is to move the address, and Lord Scarsdale to second it. It is reported that the Duke of Richmond 'is to fall upon the French about Corsica.' Details of social events and visitors. Mrs Burnett expects her husband's arrival daily. They suppose that he will continue to belong to the ship till April, so she is looking for an agreeable companion to go down to Plymouth. Mrs Bailey of Tring and her eldest daughter are both just recovered from small-pox by inoculation.
