New-York, March 20. Monday last, being the day of St.
Patrick, tutelar saint of Ireland, was ushered in at the
dawn with fifes and drums, which produced a very agreeable
harmony before the door of many gentlemen of that nation,
and others.
Many of them assembled, and spent a joyous tho' orderly
evening, at the house of Mr. Bardin, in this city, where the
following healths were drank, viz.
1. The King and royal house of Hanover.--2. The governor
and council of the province.--3. The glorious memory of
King William, &c.--4. The memory of the late Duke of
Cumberland.--5. The day, and prosperity to Ireland.--6.
Success to the Sons of Liberty in America, may they never
want money, interest, nor courage to maintain their just
rights. . . [7 lines, 9 more lines of toasts]
