Wednesday evening the 22d of October was received at
Cambridge, a confirmation of the important intelligence. . .
[of Burgoyne's defeat by General Gates. 14 lines plus 13
toasts, and 5 more lines.]
On Friday evening the rejoicings were crown'd by a
brilliant company of ladies from Cambridge, Boston and
Watertown, who testified their joy and patriotism by their
presence at an elegant assembly.
"Joy was in ev'ry face without a cloud;
"As in the scene of op'ning paradice."
