[Boston, October 3.] We now behold the representatives
chamber, court-house, and Faneuil-Hall, those seats of
freedom and justice occupied with troops, and guards placed
at the doors; the Common covered with tents, and alive with
soldiers; marchings and countermarchings to relieve the
guards, in short the town is not a perfect garrison. . . [5
lines, then:] In the afternoon our artillery company
appeared in the field and were exercised, their Capt. was
informed by the officer of the Regulars, that it was not
customary to beat drum, or fire after the evening cannon was
discharged. . . [9 more lines]
