Boston, December 22. Extract of a letter from Portsmouth,
New-Hampshire, dated December 16. "We have been in confusion
here for two days on account of an express from Boston,
informing that two regiments were coming to take possession
of our fort; by beat of drum 200 men immediately assembled,
and went to the castle in two gundalows, who on their way
were joined by 150 more, and demanded the surrender of the
fort, which Capt. Cochran refused. . . [14 more lines]
