B O;R T $ M-QE T H, ' Extraf cf a Letrer from Halifax, Adug. 19. — “The Carpenters of this place are fent for by the Admiral to Louifbourg to' repair the Ruins of Buildings occafioned by cur Siege, and Famiiies are daily embarking to fettle there, fo that we may ex- peét that Louifbourg will be efteemed a place of con- fequence to our other American colonies. A Difcovery was made of a proT laft Night betwixe fome of the Inhabitants of this place and our neigh- bouring French and Indians, and was this Night to have been executed, as cannot bug difpleafe the Ear g - T - \7‘ of every truc Briton g and as it more particularly con < cerns us who refide in this place, weare the mo'e obliged to retzen Thacks to Almighty GOD for his great Goodonefs in delivering us out of the Hands of our creel and inveterate Evemits. I thall write you jat as ttwas : A Capiain’s waiting Man who fre- quented a Houfe in Datch Town ([0 called) on ac- count of a young Woman who lived there, followed ber down the cellar, and there difcovered and took Nortice of a parcel of Fire Arms loaded and primed, which he made known to his Cap:ain ; there w1 fearch being made, they were found and carriea .- fore the Goverror, and Erquiry being made, it ap- pears there was a plot laid betwixt the Dutch or fome other difaffeéted perfons with the French and Indiacs fuddenly to fall in upen this place and deftroy it with every perfon in it who could not make their Efcape. And this Night was appointedfor the cruel Attemps. They took thisOpportunity as cur Men of War were all at Louifbourg. We are this Night all to be under Arms, tho’ astheir Defigns are frufirated, we are in Hopes ‘they will return back to the Woads, and that we may not be difturbed by them. Not more than a Mile from this place 4 French Men and four Indians were feen yefterday, and ’tis not doabted there were a large Nur ® r not far off. We have now in fight feverr: Men of War from Louifbourg, fo that we hope they will furnifh us with fuch Affitt- ance as will put it out of the power of curNeighbours to difturb our Quiet. We, are to have 14 fail of the Line tc Winter here, which are thought fufficient to guard us.”'— : Laft Tuefday failed from hence for England, the Staffsrd Maft fhip, Capt.

We hear that good Englith Hay has been offered here far fale at three Dollars and half per Ton ; and as there is likely tobe a greaf plenty of all forts of prov fion, tis to be hoped the Se//er as well as pur- chafer will be thankful for this {mile of providence, as the poor are like to be fupplied with the necefla- ries of Life at an ealy rate. &5 Itis with pleafure that we can inform the pubiic, by Capi.
