Mordaunt's dragoons (quarter'd here) were observed to parade about different parts of the town, six or eight in a company, from the dusk of the evening; but about eleven at night (an hour after the tatoo was beat) the town was greatly alarmed with the clashing of swords, and the cries of murder. . . |
