. . . [From Newport, November 4th, a description of a mock
funeral held to mourn the departure of their good friend
Liberty.]  The afternoon was spent in rejoicing, and bells
ringing---The Court-House was ornamented with the ensigns of
loyalty---and the evening song was,
  The birthright of Britons is freedom,
  The contrary is worse than death's pangs.
  Huzza for George the third.
  Chorus.  Britannia's sons despise slavery,
  And dare to be nobly free.
