Hartford, April 1. Last Thursday morning, at 7 o'clock,
Col. Wadsworth received a letter from John Carter, Esq. by
express, dated at Philadelphia, the 23d of March, half after
six o'clock P.M. informing that a packet had arrived at
Chester, with the news of a general peace, being signed the
20th of January. As this express came solely to bring the
news, and we had no doubt of its being true, the inhabitants
of this town manifested their extreme joy by the firing of
cannon, ringing of bells, and in the evening fireworks and
illuminations. . . [11 lines]
