Newport, June 2. Last Tuesday was appointed, by the sons of
liberty, for our public rejoicings, in this town on the
glorious news of the repeal of the stamp-act.
The populace were so impatient, that, before one o'clock
in the morning, all the bells in the town were set a
ringing, drums were beat, musick played, and guns were
discharged. . . .
At twelve o'clock . . . drums beating, in grand
procession, to the court-house . . .
At every toast the trumpet sounded an air, and five cannon
were discharged . . .
