One ditto Rouifillon, =~ 500 _ "T'wo ditto Berry, 1000 [ Two ditto Marine, 1000 0 all ten Battalions ; but as they were defedive the * whole is fuppofed to have amounted to 4500 Regulars, |, , + befides 6000 Cavadians, of which 200 were mounted ! and formed a Body of Horfe, 250 Indians of the lro- quois and other Nations. Our Provifions, Ammunition and heavieft Baggage were carricd down in 6 Frigates .. from 44 .t0 26 Guns, who had under their Convoy a o great Number of Schooners, Battoes, and other {mall " Craft for the Army. We had nine Days March from 9 MontReal to Carouge, and the tenth Day arrived on ' the Plains of Abraham, three Lesgues * from Quebec : N Eievey Companies of Grenadiers advinced while the Reft of the Army were pofted in the Houfes, on each Side of the Ronad leading f-om Carouge to Quebec : e A be Erench oft times put Leagues jor Miles, N ¢W-Hampfhire _' ’ At about half a Lesgue’s Diftance wé met an advance Party of the Englifh, with whom we had theee erfour diftant Skirm:fhes, i'their Retreat tothe Town. The 28:h, about nine in the Morning, we perceived the Body of the Englifh Garrilon in' Motion, beating the Genersl, at ten were formed the Regiments of Rouifillon and Maxwell:x Laffarre in the Cebtre, the- Regiments of Guienne, {Bayard's and Queen’s on the Right, and the Regiments of Languedoc, Berry, wnd the Grenadiers on the Lelt, we formed & Line threbdeep, oad in the Intevvals of theRegulars were pofted the €anadians. The Bartalions of Marine with the Indians were edvantageoufly pofted in the Entrance of a Wood : The Englifh advanced with great Refolutian, with their Field Pieces in Front, 2ad their firft Impreffion was fo violent as to oblige our Center to give Way, but we foon recovered our Difor- dere, and continued returning the Compliment of their Fire : OurWings at the fameTime advanced and formed a Semicircle upon the Enemy's Flanks, whereupon they thought proper to re:urn into the Town, leaving us the - Field; their Artillery,and above 2000 EntrenchingT'ools. In this A&ion Monf. Bou La Mare commanded on the Right, Monf. Dumas in the Center, and the Chevalier Levi on the Left. We opened Ground that Evenirig, - and continued our Workiill the 7th of May, when we began to batter the Walls with 12 Iron Pieces of 12 Pounders, which continued until the Arrival of the Van- guard, which Monf{. Levi imagining to be only the foremoft of a large Reinforcement, raifed the Siege, after nailing up fome of his battering Cannon, and leaving the heavieft of his Baggage behind, the Artillery taken from the Englith having been fent up the River in one of the Ships. I compute in the A&iton on the 28:h of Apiil, our Lofs about Eighteen Hundred. killed and wounded.” ‘When we left MontReal it was in 2 weak State of Defence, not sbove ten Pieces of indifferent Carnnon mournted on the Walls, The Garrifon 2000 Men, moitly Canadians ; but there does not appear any Scarcity of Provifions.
