New York, June 6. Thursday being the anniversary of his
Majesty's Birth-Day, when he entered the 41st year of his
age; royal salutes were fired at 1 o'clock from the
battery, and at one from the Admiral's ship and the other
men of war in the harbour, the day was celebrated in joy,
festivity, and the warmest expressions of affection to his
Majesty's person, family and government.
ON HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY.
____________Pudorem
Vincit amor patria et regis.
The trembling Muse her grateful lays
To him who Britain's Sceptre sways
With ardent rapture brings;
Inspir'd by this auspicious morn,
When George the Great, the Good was born,
She wakes the silent strings.
