The Provincial Congress having resolved that the cannon
should be removed from the Battery, a number of the citizens
collected for that purpose last Wednesday evening; and, part
of the provincial
artillery, under the command of Capt. John Lamb, were posted
on the Battery, to prevent the landing of any party from the
Asia man of war. . . [10 lines] Soon after this the Asia
fired three cannon, when our drums beat to arms, which
alarmed the inhabitants. . . [13 more lines]
