Williamsburg, June 6. Wednesday last being the King's
birthday, his honour the governour, with some of the
principal gentlemen of this city, met at Mr. Pullett's
tavern, and spent the evening in honour of his majesty; and
several houses were illuminated, as also the flag displayed
on the capitol. There was no ball at the palace, nor any
public rejoicing here; as we learn that the 25th of October,
the anniversary of the accession of our most gracious
sovereign to the throne, will for the future be observed in
the same manner as his majesty's birthday used to be, a
great deal of company generally being in town at that season
of the year.
