Newport, Rhode-Island, Nov. 4. Last Friday, the day
appointed for the Stamp Act's taking place in American, was
similar to a description in Addison's Cato----. . . [8 lines
up from bottom of item:] The afternoon was spent in
rejoicing, and bells ringing--the court-house was ornamented
with the ensigns of loyalty--and the evening song was,
The birthright of Britons is freedom,
The contrary is worse than death's pangs.
Chorus. Huzza for George the Third.
Britannia's Sons despise slavery,
And dare to be nobly free!
