Supplement to the Pennsylvania Gazette, May 19. This morning
arrived the brig Minerva, Capt. Thomas Wise from Poole, who
brought the Act for repealing the Stamp-Act.(see supplement)
which obtain'd his royal assent the 18th of March. On the
arrival of the above-mentioned delightful news, tho' long-
expected, a sudden joy was immediately diffused thro'all

to ringing, which continued till late at night, and began
again early next morning, (yesterday) continuing till 9
o'clock. . . [13 more lines].
