Limerick, Dec. 20. Last Friday, in consequence of an order
from Lord North, there was a scene of rejoicing in this
city, which we shall attempt to describe, though it would
beggar all description. In the morning the bells were set a
ringing, and the very children caught the general joy and
congratulated each other; at noon the whole body of the
Limerick volunteers, commanded by Thomas Smyth, Esq; fired
three rounds on the Mall, and at night they lined the main
street and fired a grand Feu-de-Joy. . . [30 lines
describing celebration at resumption of free trade].
