Boston. Sept.12. Messi'rs Printers, never was a country more
agreeably relieved from gloomy horror and despair than the
inhabitants of this land yesterday experienced in the
intelligence from England in Capt. Deverson, viz. that it
hath leased our most gracious sovereign to appoint an intire
new ministry. . . [1 column] The next morning was ushered in
with ringing all the bells in this metropolis, not excepting
those of the alms-house and work-house.  The bells were also
rung in neighbouring towns, particularly at Charlestown and
Cambridge, where there were also bonfires and illuminations
at this joyful and ever memorable occasion. . .
