bly, with the inhabitants of the town and vicinity,
attended divine service at the Prelbyterian Chinch,
where a difeourie adapted to the occasion was de

by the corps of artillery belonging to the town, in
the presence of the Governor, General Dickinson,
the Members of the Legislature and the Gentlemen

in executing the important enterprise. An alliance
