By a gentleman who arrived last Saturday evening from Great Barrington, we are informed, that last Wednesday morning the troops lately raised for the protection of government, were discharged from service, in pursuance of an order from the Commander in Chief. Those orders were communicated to the soldiery, in a short, elegant and pathetic address, by Colonel Lyman, the Commander of the troops. After which a feu de joie was fired by the infantry, and a federal salute of thirteen cannon from the artillery. The troops then receiving provision to carry them to their respective homes, began their march. Their regularity and good order, after their discharge, reflected on them the highest honor.
Our informant observes, that the demon of faction and discord seems totally to have subsided; and that the late discontented seem to appear exceedingly anxious for, and are making great exertions to discharge, not only the present, but the back taxes, especially in the county of Berkshire.
