New York. Upon a supposition that the cannon upon the
battery in this city were spiked by order of lieutenant
governor Colden, his effigie was exhibited last Thursday
morning, sitting upon a piece of ordnance (properly mounted)
with a drill, constructed in such a manner as to be
continually working; at his back hung a drum, as a badge of
his former profession. . . [4 lines of description of the
effigy followed by 11 lines describing its destruction by
fire.]
