Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, May 22. Last Saturday morning at
6 o'clock, the town was agreeably surprized at the sudden
arrival of Mr. Stavers, from Boston, some hours sooner than
his usual time, who first bro't us the certain account of
the total repeal of the Stamp-act, after him came two
expresses confirming this account.--Upon which the bells
were immediately set a ringing, and an unaffected joy
appeared in the countenances of all.
This day in particular, is set apart to celebrate this
fortunate event, the bells are now ringing, guns firing,
colours flying,. . .
