New-York, November 1. Last Saturday being the Anniversary of His Majesty's Birth-Day, the same was observed here, with the usual Solemnity. The Honourable the Gentlemen of His Majesty's Council, the Gentlemen of the Assembly, and those of this Corporation, with most of the principal Gentlemen of the City, waited upon the Honourable GEORGE CLARKE, Esq; Lieutenant-Governor of this Province, at the Council Chamber in the Fort, to pay him the usual Compliments of the Day, where his Honour and the Gentlemen assembled, drank the Royal Healths under the Discharge of Cannon from the Fort, (His Majesty's regular Troops being the whole Time under Arms.) But to add to the general Joy of the Day, his Honour received by Capt. Bryant, who arrived on the 29th, a Commission from Her Majesty Queen Caroline, Guardian, of the Kingdom of Great-Britain, appointing him Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of New-York, which was published in the Council, and at the City Hall with the usual Solemnity. This happy Turn of Affairs diffused a general Joy throughout the City, to see a Period to effectually put to the Disorders that threatned us, and Peace and Quiet restor'd within our Borders. The General Assembly which is now sitting, immediately recognized him Lieutenant-Governor of the said Colony; and alter'd the Stile of their Bills, which before were drawn in the Stile of the President and Commander in Chief, to Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief.
