The regimental baud that loft Bosion
consisted of twenty four person", who,
together with their musical instruments,

They thon learned the particulars of
the attack on tho soldier and of their es

men who had been killed, and tho others
ho had been wounded. One of (heir

to tho house where they were so humane

they wore advited to go themschos. They

i Congress of tho 30th of April, 1790

is the concealment ol something that
ought to bo revealed. Mispri-ioii of Trea

'any person, or persons, having knowledge
of tho commi.sion of any of tho oflVmec

I This is an aggiavaled ofl'once, for every

plots of conspirators and the atrocious
projects of traitors might otherwise attain

overthrow of the best system of govern
