Newport, (Rhode Island) September 26. . .  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.
