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 colours flying, up King-street to the Town
house, where they halted till the 29th Regiment came up,
then marched to the common. . .
