On Thursday the boats from the fleet came up and sounded the
Bay all round the town, and on Friday the ships of war came
up and ranged themselves on the north east side of the
metropolis, as if intended for a formal siege: And about
noon on Saturday, the 14th regiment landed at the Long
Wharf, and having formed, marched with drums beating, fifes
playing, and colors flying, up King Street to the Town-
House, where they halted till the 29th regiment came up,
then marched to the Common, where they were joined some time
after by the detachments of the 59th regiment and of the
train of artillery, with two field pieces. . . [83 more
