[New York] Last Thursday being the anniversary of the King's
coronation, the cannon at Fort-George were fired; upon which
a gentleman observed, that instead of discharging our guns
in token of joy, we ought to muffle our bells and toll a
solemn peal, as there had been more unjust, cruel and
oppressive acts passed during the present, than in any
preceding reign.
