Albany, and put “the Captsin of her on board the Scarpion, and proceeded with the Albany on his Voysge, without Hefitation,— We are alfo infgrme;l, that the Ships which put into the Road of Aix, ftill remained there ; that fome of the Ships which got up the River Villaine had been deftroyed by Sir Edward Hawke, who, was arrived at Portfmouth ; *, ghat the Crew belonging to the Refolution Man of War, had all got fafe to England from the coaft of France ; —that there was (ome Talk ofa Spanifh * . War ;—that there was a grand Fleet fitting out at Portfmouth and Plymouth,which was to be command.- ed by Admiral Saunders, on a very important Expe- dition ; and that there were great Preparations mak- ' ipgin every Portin England, fors vigorous Purfu- ance of the War, notwithftanding their talk of a Peace femetimes. The following Letter is taken from the Londen Evening Poft, of Dec. 29, 1759. Extraét of a Igtier from Albany, O&. 23. « Cayenquiliquoa and Rattlefnake Sam, two Mohawk Indians, came here yefterday. They were about 13 days ago at Ofwe- gatchie, in Canada, on a vifit to fome re- lations who have many years fettled with the French. They fay they endeavoured » to perfuade their relations, and the other Mohawks at Ofwegatchie, to leave the French in good Time, and return to their own country ; telling them, that the _Englifh,. formerly women, were now all warned into men, and were as thick all over the country as the trees in the woods. That tiey had takea the Ohio, Niagara, Cata- f.:qui, Ticonderoga, Louifbourg, and now jately Quebec : and thac they would foon ¢at up cthe remainder of the French in Canada, and al the Indians that adhered to them.” But the French Indians anfwered : ¢ Bre- thren, you are deccived ; the Englith can- not eat up the French ; their mouths is too little, their jaws too weak, and their tecth not (harp enowgh. QOur father Onon- _ tio (that is-the Governor of Canada) has - told us, and we believe him, that the Eng- glith; like a Thief, have ftolen Louifbourg and Quebec from the Great King, while his back was turned, and he was looking another way : but now he has turned bis . face, and fees what the Englith have done, .~ he is going into their country with a thou- fand great canoes, and all his warriors ; and - he will take the little Kifig, and pinch him till ke makes him cry out, and give back v what he has ftolen, as he did about ten " fummers ago 3 and this your eyes will foon fee”” The fame notions and prejudices, we find, are induftrioufly fpread amongft the Six Nations : God grant nothing may happen at the peace to confirm them, for the Ipdians have no Idea of exchanging conquefts, or of delivering up what is once Y » , taken, but from motives of fear or weak- nefs ; and they know little or nothing of what pafies in other parts of the world.” ‘B O §TO N, March 3.
