Stats, Major Putnam of the Provincials,together with all the Prifoners which could be colleéted,Men, ‘Women and Children, are arrived over the Lake, and fome of them got to Fort Edward : The Truth of which Report we hope will foon be confirmed to many, by the Sight of their Friends from a tedious Captivity : 1t is faid, that as the Number of Pri- foners exceed thofe taken at Frontenac, Col. Schuy- ler has engaged to fac an cqual Number fent from thofe which are in the Hands of the Englith.
