Extract of a letter from Bristol, dated March 1. Never was
joy more general, or citizens hearts more sensibly touched,
than ours on Monday last, on hearing the favorable turn of
the American affairs. The bells throughout the city rang
incessantly the whole day, and in the evening were uncommon
bonfires: Several houses were illuminated, the American
Coffee-House in particular, from whose windows the merchants
trading to that quarter of the world, generously threw money
to the populace, who in return appeared decently thankful.
