THE ENEMY REINFORCED
On
Sunday last there arrived in out bay several ships: the weather being thick it
could not be eactly ascertained of what description, but it is believed two are
of the line, and two frigates; on their arrival one of the ships before in the
bay saluted with 11 guns - from which circumstance it is supposed that Admiral
Cochrane has arrived. The enemy's force
now in the Chesapeake is four 74's, five frogates, and several tenders - On
Monday all the enemy's ships with the exception of two frigates, got under way
and proceeded up the bay.[1]
