There was no Account from General Predeaux, when the Courier left Aibany, which was laft Tuefday. Extrali of a Letter from Albany, dated Fuly 16, 1750. 4 A few Days fince General Amherit detached 500 “Men in Battoes to reconnoitre the Lake ; but they had not proceeded far before they efped a Number of French, who, we imagine, were reconnoitring alfo, and having view'd each other they drew nigh and engaged pretty {martly, but our People handled them fo rough- . ly with a 1z Pounder they had with them, that they foon tock to their Oars, and made off, having loft one of their Canoes with every Perfon that was in her. On ,our Side we had a Serjeant and z Men killed.” Extrad of a Letter from Ofwigo, dated Fuly 7, 1759. ¢ [ have the Pleafure to acquaint you, That we have defeated a Number of French and Indians, that artacked us at this Poft the sth Inftant, (after Major General Predeaux fet off for Niagara) when our whole Strength amounted to no more than 1200 Men, and that of the French 15¢0 Regu'ars and Canadians, and A ¥ -y LN . 250 Indians. In the Morning of the sth,a Working Party was fent out, covered by the Picquet : bat they had not'advanced 150 Yards from the Breat Work, before they were furprized by a Party of the Enemy, who gave a Shout, and 1an off without difcharging their Pieces : This Alarm caufed every Man to take his proper Station, and all in the Camp were under Arms till g 0’Clock, but feeing no more of the Enemy they were ordered to their Work again, and Captain Harkaman fent up the Lake in a Battoe, to make D.{- coveries, who foon retarned, and reported, that a large Army was landed about a Mile off. The Works were all manned and .Captain Harkaman again difpatched to make further Difcoveries : He foon got oppcfiie the French Encampment, when they fired 150 Shot at him which he an{wered, and foon after returned. At Ele- ven o’Clock they began tofire a few random Shot at our Encampment, and at 4 the general Attack began, and concinued very hot till fix, but they were fo waim ly received,that they thought it molt prudent to retreat. At nine 0'Clock a Deferter came in, and informed us, that they had no Cannon with them, bat that they in- tended to force our Lines next Morning, or die in the Attempt. At 7 next Morning, agreeable to their Pro- mife, they attacked us with a great deal of Courage, and continued fo to do till Nine, but finding their ut- moft Efforts proyed abortive, being well plied with oar Muflquetry and Cannon, they again retreated in very great Confufion : They continued firing random Shot till Ten, but by Eleven, we could fee them in their Battoes, making the beft of their Way home. ¢ Captain Sowers, the Engineer, and Lieut. Otter, of the Royal Americans, with 4 Privates, are wounded; and 3 Privatesditto, killed. Previncials, 3 killed, and nine wounded. ¢ Five French Deferters came into us.

Since my laft to you an un- lucky Affair happen’d on the r5th of June ; fome of our Men going io the Fith Ware were fir’d upon by the Enemy about fix in the Morning ; they went without their Arms dire@ly contrary to the Colonel’s Orders ; one Man was killed and fcalped, and another fhot thro’ the T'high ; a Scout immediately went in Purfuit of the Enemy, but cotld nut overtake them.—It is pofiible before long we may have another V:fit from the Mon- fieurs and Indians, but are determined they fhall have awarm Reception.
