Philadelphia, . . . March 27. On Monday last we received the
following most agreeable intelligence, viz. That a vessel
was arrived from Cork at Oxford, in Maryland, in forty days
passage; the Captain of which brought a Cork news paper, in
which was a paragraph taken from one printed in Dublin,
containing a letter from a member of Parliament in London,
to his friend in Ireland, dated about the last of January,
the substance of which was; "that every thing relating to
the affairs of America was settled; that the Stamp-Act was
repealed; and that requisitions were to be made to the
respective colonies, for the support of American
establishments." These glad tidings spread a general joy
all over the city; our bells were set a ringing; at night
bonfires were lighted . . .
