G i i S —— The Nosthampton Polt Rider informs us, That be fpelce with a Gentleman lalt Saturday, ac Old Rutland, that left No. 4, lalt Wednefday, w‘}zq toid him that the Day he came away 63 of Major Rogers's Party came in fafe ; and the Remainder were (0an expelied. By a Veflel [rom Nova-Scotia we learn, that in the late Storm the Tides rofe very high up the Bay of Fundy, which carried off great Quautities of Wood be- longing to the Garrifon at Chiegnecto, a great Num- ber of Trees blown down : Capt. Dogget in a Sloop bound hence was calt away, the Veflel was loft, but the People faved. We alfo leara from Halifax, that they had there on the night of the 34 inftant, the moit violent gale of wind that had been known there fince the fettlemest of of that place : itbegan at E. 5. E. about 11 at night, and continued increafing till zbout {even next morawng, when it fhifted to 8. 5. W. and blew harder than-be- fore, for about two hours, when it abated ; it has done valt damage to the wharves at that piace, particularly above 100 feet of the brealt woik'lately ereCted at the King's dock-yard, with the f[ence upon it were drove. into the dock, the boom was alfo broke, whereby a vaft” quantity of timber was loft : the King's wharfe near the ordnance flore was entirely demolilt’d; Cook’s,Grant’s, Fairbark’s, and feveral other wharfs fuffered greatly ; great quantities of falt and fugars, which were in the cellars near the beach are entirely ruined ; fome thoul- ands of trees in the woods were blown down, and in fome places the roads render’d impaflable for waggon carriage : The damaged fuitain’d at the wharfs, &c. was compated at feveral thouland pounds, bat happily no lives were Joft. It’s faid the tides rofe there near fix feet above.its ordinary flowing. Capt. Nichols from Halifax informs, That on his Paffsgehe met with a Brig from Philade!phia, bound to Halifax with King's Stores, which had been cut 25 Days, and loft her Boom. By the courier from Albany we _have received an extra® from the journal of Major Rogeis’s laft {cout, and of his deftroying the Indian town of St. Francoeis, dated at No. 4. Nov. 1ft, and fign’d by the Major him- felf, which in fubflance is nearly the {ame as that infert- €d at the beginning of this paper ; except that the Maj. makes po mention of their bringing off any plunder : That it was 22 days after they left Crown Point before they came in fight of St. Francois : —That the two offi- cers which went with him to reconnoitre the place be- fore he made the attack, were Lieut, Turner & Enfign Avery :—That the prifoners he brought off with him were two Indian boys and three girls :— That half an hour after his arrival at No. 4. he difpatched a canoe with refrefhments to Lieut. Grant, who with fome cf his party he left at Cohorfe intervals, and which he imagined would arrive to them in about 30 hours after; and that he had alfo fent off two other canoes with provifions to Ammanufic river for the relicl of the other pariies left behind. Extraél of a Letter. ' On the 12:h of O&cber the Inhabitants of St. John's River, having heard of the Surrender of Quebec, {ent it to Lieut. Colonel Arbushnot, who commands 250 of the Provincial Troops at Fort Frederic, ‘‘de- *firing to furrender themfclves Prifoners at Dilcretion, « whether he fhall pleafe to receive them as Prifoners « of War, and fo remove them off their Lands, or “ whether he would grant them leave to continue with ¢ Liberty of their Religion, as'is permitied to the Canadians.” Col Arbuthnot’s Prudence did not peramit him to truft them on any Terms ; he therefore went up the River, and in two Schooners brought off with him 196 of thefe Inhabitants, and more we hear are coming in.~On the 3d of Neovember, Pere Ger- main, the Jefuit Miffionary both to the Inhabitants and Indians of thofe Parts, having come from Canada fince the Surrender of Quebec, though fomewhat too late, with a Copy of the Terms granted to the Inhabitants and Priels of Canada, having in view to obiain the fame for thefe Iuhabitants ¢f Nova Scotia, or rather infinnating that fuch were already granted to them, wrote to Cal. Arbuthnot from St. Ann’s defiring the fame leave to“cantinue to ferve his Care as is granted to the Priefts of Canada ; but that he has abandoned the Indians, and that he is willing to rtake the Qath of Fidelity to his Britaunic Mejefly : but that if his_conti- nuance in thofe Parts be difagrecable to the Enaglifh Government, he will, with Permiflion, retire to France; as he would by no Means ftay in the Country without the Confent of the true Mafters of it.— Chat as to his Chara&er of ladian Miflionary, he will employ his Power to reconcile the Indifns of thafs Parts 2o b Go- wernment from awhich they are much efirarged, at lealt will prevent their doing Mifchief.—~He fays all the Indians, except about a Score, are at prefent in Canada, and that thefe defire norhing more than tolivein a good Accord with the Englith - Commarder.— Lieut. Col. Arbuthnat has this Summer deftroy’d faveral of their Villages, and taken and deftroyed feveral of their Veflels up the River.—And on the 18ih of September had a fmart Skirmith with fome of thefe Inhabitants and Indians— The Effet is the belt Proof of the Services of this Officer and fmall Garrifon of Provincials—but we coald not but think that the mention . of thefe Par- ticulars is due tothe Affiduity and Alertnefs with which they were performed ; and we hope the Men wil] not difgrace thele Services by an unfoaldier like Impatience for getting home before they can be duly relieved. We hcar that the Treafurer of the Province hasre ceived a Bill of Lading for twoBoxes of Portupal Gold, thop'd by Mr. Agent Bollan, on board the Mercury Mau of War, amounting to U'wenty Thoufand fix bundred and eighty Pounds, feventeen Shillings and fix Pence,being Part of the T'wenty feven'Thoufand Pcunds granted by Parliament in 1757, to this Proviace, t0 recomperce them for the Expences they were atin Expedition in 1756, Said Ship may be daily expecled, —— From Marbal Daun’s Camp at Rottenburg, Aug. 18.
