[Rhode Island] 4th July This being the first Anniversary of the declaration of the Independency of the Rebel Colonies, they ushered in the morning at Providence by firing 13 Cannon, (One for each Colony we suppose). At 12 o'Clock the three Rebel Frigates that lie at and near Providence fired 13 Guns each, and at one, 13 Guns were fired from their Fort at Rowland's ferry. At Sunset the Rebel Frigates fired another round of 13 Guns each, one after the other. As the Evening was very still and fine, the Eccho of the Guns down the Bay had a very grand effect, the report ofeachbeing repeated three or four times. Several Guns were fired during the day, from other places in the adjacent Country. It being usual with us, for Forts or Garrisons to fire at 12 o'Clock, and the Ships at 1, on rejoicing days, we suppose they chose to reverse it, for the sake of differing from our mode.
