New-York, March 10. . .  Upon a supposition that the cannon
upon the battery in this city were spiked by order of
Lieutenant Governor Colden, his effigy was exhibited last
Thursday, sitting upon a piece of ordnance, (properly
mounted) with a drill, constructed in such manner as to be
continually working; at his back hung a drum, as a badge of
his former profession. . . .
