Not long since the public were amused with an account of the
pompous Battle of the Kegs; and as one of a more
extraordinary nature has since taken place, it is proper to
acquaint the public with it-- and this may be called the
Cushion Battle.  The poetical history of it is as follows.
In Newport there's been found of late,
A grand, important, full debate;
The Council met--and all agree,
The rebels must be made to flee.
