Extracts from the Gazette, 1729
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, October 23, 1729

At present the Foreign News of most Consequence to us seems to be that which relates to the Peace with Spain. The four following Paragraphs concerning it, are taken from four different London Papers, of the latest Date that came in the last Vessel from thence to Philadelphia. The two first are from the London Journal and the British Journal, both at this time accounted Government Papers; the third is from the Craftsman, who is suppos’d to be a Whigg Writer, but against the present Administration; the fourth is from Fog’s Journal, (the same that was formerly called Mist’s Journal) always reckoned a Tory Paper. When the Reader has allowed for these Distinctions, he will be better able to form his Judgment on the Affair.
