A Concise Description of the Figures Exhibited and Paraded
through the Streets of this City on Saturday last.
[Description of the effigy of Benedict Arnold, the traitor,
showing him in company with the Devil]
The procession began about four o'clock, in the following
order:
Several gentlemen on horseback.
A line of Continental Officers.
Sundry gentlemen in a line.
A guard of the City Infantry.
Just before the cart, drums and fifes playing the Rogues
March.
Guards on each side.
The procession was attended with a numerous concourse of
people, who after expressing their abhorrence of the treason
and the traitor, committed him to the flames, and left both
the effigy and the original to sink into ashes and oblivion.
