NEWBURYPORT, Oct. 29.
The 4th Regiment, 2d Brigade, 2d Division, under the command of Col. Evans, paraded near the meeting house in Salisbury, and after a pathetic address was offered to the Throne of Grace, by the Rev. Dr. Webster, they marched to the plain, and were reviewed and inspected by Major Coffin, accompanied by many gentlemen; the officers of several other Regiments were then requested by the officers of this Regiment, to repair with them to Col. Evans', where they had caused ample provision to be prepared; they here partook of an elegant and plentiful dinner, and every guest seemed fully to participate in the joys and pleasures of the day.
They were escorted to and from Col. Evans' by Captain Lurvey's company of Artillery, who were in complete uniform, and made a martial appearance.
The above Brigade is composed of likely robust young men, and appeared capable for any service they may be called to; it can with propriety be observed, that if every Brigade is equal to this, we need not fear any power will presume to attack us by land, and especially by sea.
