Boston. . . Nov. 11. What an appearance does Boston now
make! One of the first commercial towns in America, has now
several regiments of soldiers quartered in the midst of it,
and even the merchants exchange is piquetted, and made the
spot where the main guard is placed and paraded, and their
cannon mounted; so that instead of our merchants and trading
people transacting their business, we see it filled with red
coats, and have our ears dinned with the music of the drum
and fife. --How would the merchants of London be startled if
they should behold their exchange thus metamorphosed!
