It will be taken as a favor if the town, for this night,
will dispense with a farce, as the stage will be much
crowded with the artillery, boats, &c. necessary for the
representation of the piece, and with the men from both
corps, which assistance the commanding officers are good
enough to indulge us with.  Tickets, without which no person
can be admitted, can be sold at the bar of the Coffee-house.
