Last Sunday we received from the northward, the foregoing
agreeable and important news, of the success of his
Majesty's arms in Europe, and of the reduction to his
Majesty's obedience of the strong fortress of Louisburg in
America. Great Events! with which we heartily congratulate
our readers. Next day in the evening (his Excellency our
Governor being yet on the western frontier) his honour the
President ordered the guns to be fired, fire-works were
display'd, there was a public ball where there was a fine
appearance of ladies, and a great number of gentlemen, a
quantity of liquor given to the populace, and the whole city
beautifully illuminated.
