By Letters lately from Halifax Governor [Francis] Legge informs me that upwards of 400-Persons have associated themselves there in defence of Government. The Fowey Ship of War is ordered there and takes, Lieutenant Colonel [Joseph] Goreham with some Recruits of his own and [Allan] McLeans Corps and two Companys of the 14th under Convoy; so that I hope with the Associators, a Body will be formed of above Six hundred Men at Halifax, exclusive of the Somerset and Fowey Ships of War I wrote there long since about intrenching the Heights above the Dock-yard and the Citadel Hill, but have no Account what has been done in it.
