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, & having formed, marched with drums beating, fifes
playing, and colours flying. . . [67 lines, further
