Newport, April 26. Yesterday being the time fixed upon for
publishing the Proclamation of Peace in this town, the day
was ushered in by ringing of bells and firing of cannon. At
11 o'clock the Sherriff of the county, with the civil and
executive officers, and a number of respectable inhabitants,
attended by a band of music, moved in procession from the
Coffee-House to the State-House, where the Proclamation was
read by the Sherriff, three huzzas given, and thirteen
cannon discharged. . . .
