Last week the company of the train of artillery, lately raised here, all well accoutred, with four excellent field pieces, marched to join the American army near Boston; they made a very military appearance, and are, without exception, as complete a Body of men as any in the King's dominions. The other companies raised here and in the adjacent towns, as also several from the south countries, all able bodied men, and well armed, have marched to the American camp. Several companies of the Connecticut forces have also passed through this town, to join their brethren. Twelve pieces of battering cannon, 18 and 24 pounders, with a quantity of ordnance stores, were sent from hence to the American camp a few days since.
