This afternoon was a Funeral here of a Lieutenant of Marines of one of the Ships here.² They obtained leave of the Governor to land, and about 25 Marines landed at Wh[arf] this afternoon, and buried their Officer under Arms in the Ch[urc]h yard discharging three Vollies, and then retired on board without Molestation

This Aft Capt. Hathaway arrived here. He left New York last Thursday ー and tells me that the p[eo]ple there were in Arms, but had not taken possession of the Fort. They had only seized the Magazine of Powder and Arms.
