Newport, (Rhode Island) May 1.  By the best accounts of the
late action [at Lexington], it appears, that considering the
number engaged on each side, the fire of the American, did
at least four times as much execution as that of the
regulars.
  It is said the British troops in Boston have done playing
the Yankee tune; and give the American a great character for
humanity and courage.
