rumours that representations had gone from hence to General
Gage at New-York, from our good friend, etc. that we are in
a state of rebellion; . . . [8 more lines] At about l
o'clock, all the troops landed under cover of the cannon of
the ships of war, and marched into the common, with muskets
charged, bayonets fixed, colours flying, drums beating and
fifes, etc. playing, making with the train of artillery
upwards of 700 men. . . [24 more lines. Troops demand to be

permitted them a temporary shelter, which no menances could
