0 \y i [l y ‘uI \ { Y ) ¥ y Extralt of a Letter from Charieflawn, Funme 1, 1760, “ ‘Fhe Cherokee Party is ftronger, and has been more .Jucceisful with the Creeks than ours; (o that they have ‘“a‘_“”)’ engaged them to begin and commit Hottilitics againlt us, by the Slaughter of all our.Traders they could lay their Tomahawks on; of this we have certain Inielligence wichin thefe few Days peft Choflaws are a very namerous and powerful Nagton, Jaying juft behind the Crecks, are commonly reckoned about. 7000 fighting Men, and have hitherto been pre- wvented from falling on us by the Creeks, @ very warlike Nation, and till now much devoted to our Intereft : but they have left us, and are generally {zid to be about 2500 fighting Men ; and the Cherokees are fuppofed to be'from 3700 to 4000 ; fo that you will eafily {ee from this what the Number of our external Enemies may be, while we have 70,000 Negroes in our Boweis.—You may think how thefe Things will end. —We do not exattly know our Situation, but a few Days more will open our Eyes.” A few Days ago e terrible Fire broke out among the dry Houfes on the Ifland of Nantucket, which in 2 few Hours confumed many of them to the Ground, to gether with ail the Utenfils, and a large Quanticy of Oyl, The Lofs is computed to be about £. 1800 Sterling. It :is uncertain how the Fire happened. We hear Mr. Samuel Smith of Philadelphia, has ge- neroufly ordered Eighteen Pounds Sterling, and Mefii'rs Thomas end William Ringold, of Chefter-Town, Mary- land, Ten Pounds Sterling, tobe given to the Sufferers of this Town by the late Fire. Friday laft Capt. Stephens arrived at Marblehead in 19 Days from Barbados ; he failed in Company with about 150 Sail of Veflels, moftly bound to England, ..under Convoy of two Men of War, Capt. Stephens fays he did not hear of any Veflels from thefe Parts being lately taken by the Enemy. Qur Advices from Albany are, That fince the Skir- mith of Mzjor Rogers’s: mentioned in our laft, he has been to a Place called St. Perre (between Nut Ifland and Montreal) and burnt about 16 or 20 Houles being all in the Village, and brought oft 35 Men Prifoners, lea- ving the Women and Children behind ; That he was purfued by between 4 and 500 of the Enemy, who were in half an hour’s March of him, when luckily for the Major and his Party, they came acrofls a Number ‘of the Enemy’s Battoes which were provided to bring the Officers, who were taken at the Battle of Quebec ‘on the 28th of April laft, to Crown Point, who were . iall difchsrged upon their Parole of Honour, except Col. Young, who is ftill with them, and is treated in a very polite Manner, by Monf. Vaudreuil, 2nd all the Officers of the Army . In the above Affair Rogers did not lofe a fingle Man. ! : We alfo learn; That General Amherft with his Army were march’d from Albany, in érder to purfue the Ope yations of the enfuing Campaign. Our lateft Advices from Montreal are of the 14th inft. when the French army was return'd from the Sicge of Qucbec: That they have Bread, Fifh and Pigeons in _Pienty, but no othér Provifion ; that near all their Am- munition was expended, and the French in juft fuch a Siguation as we could wifh : —T hat they daily fent out ‘Scouts in Order to take a Prifoner to gein [utelligence of the Operations of cur Army, but they returned unfuc- elsful, till about 10 Days fince, when they took two Men near Crown Point, one of which they kill'd and fcalp’d, and the other they carried to Montreal ; that the Fields were planted before they went to attack Quebec, and fince their Return the Inhabitants had Leave to go and take Care of the fame, but were ordersd to appear at an Hour’s Warning with 8 Days Provifions, in Cafe of an Attack Exira&t of a Letter from Fort Frederick, at St. John’s AU River, dated June 6th, 1760. ARTHE: Tndians of feveral Tribes are come in, and fign- ed-a Tréaty of Peace, which they fay fpall laf} forever. — Tbey bebave exceeding well.— A few Days fince 20 Canoes arrived bere with Men, Women and Children, they were bowoured by the Dijcharge sf [iveral Cannon, which pleaj- ed them well. i PORTSMOUTH. sExtrad of a Letter from an Officer at Quebec to a Gen- tleman in Portfmouth, dated May 22, 17060. Teke this Qpportunity to acquaint you of our Situation at Quebec.— At this prefent Time it is fo cold that we are cbliged to run to the Fire as much gs in January. We marched into this Gurifon near 7000 ftrong, but what with the Scurvy, Fluxes, Fevers; end many other Diforders, we are reduced to about 2700 Duty Men, the Remainder being either killed, wounded, or in the Hofpitals, We bave had nothing bat Skirmifhes with the French this whole Winter, and elways beat them to Picces, until the 28th of April : The 27<h, the French Army, confilting of 12000 Men, appeared at Loretto, 8 Miles trom Quebec, and on the @8th got to the Heighss of Abraham, two Miles from the Garrifon, when we marched out to give Battle that Morning, with only 3000 Men and 20 Pieces of Cannon ; 10 o’Clock the Engigementbegan, and lafted nesr an Four, whea our left Wing gaveWay : T'hey came down ithfuch heavy Columns upon our Flanks, that it was ke ' “impofiible for our little Army tc bear them, who was drawn up only 2 deep, and they 14. We loft 1065 ' Men, (Officers included) and all our Artillery ; Col. Y oung wounded and tsken Prifoner, Col. Walfh'wound- ed, Major Huflcy killed, Msjors Dalling, Mackeller, and .Godwin wounded ; the ather Officers amount to near 100 kil’d and wounded: The French loft 1500 Men, and during the Siege 600 more, The fame Dy of the The’ Engagement, the French broke Ground about 800Yards from the Walls, but we very foon had 40 Pieces of Cannon to play on them. Oa Sundaythe ioth Inftint they opened their Batieries, confiiting of one of G Guns, one of 4, and one of 3, with ong #3 and one 10 [ach Mortar. . On the 16.h, in the Morning, Commodore Swanton, wi‘h the'Diani and Leoftaff; (himfelf being on board the Vanguard) made Sailup the River : Upon the Sight of thefe Ships, the Erench Frigates, being three in Namber, and many other {mall Veflels, cut their Cables, and made Sail in crder to get up to MpntReal, but were fo clofely puriued by our Frigates that they were obliged to run themlelves an' Shore, and fought for three Hours,when our FrigatesCrews boarded them, and fet chem all on Fire, except one, which was greatly below. What Stores the Frigate that remains ynburnt has on board, [ have not'yet heard, but we imagine the molt of our Artillery (which we loft the 28th ult.)is there, as they took but 6 Pieces with them. The Leoftad, in runninz in Shore to cut off fome French Bouts, ftruck on a Rock, and funk to the Bottom in five Minutes Time, but no Body loft. Oa the 16th Inftant, gt 10 o'Clock at Night, the Feérch firuck their En campment, ebandoned their T renehes, and marched up into theCountry : Thhey left béhind them 4 Brafs Cannon, 10 Iron ditto ; one 13,0ne 1o, and four 6 Inch Mortars, befides Shot, Shells, Scaling Ladders, Petards, [ntrenching Tools ; in {hort, every Thing that wasany way bulky. We now feem to be a little quiet, as we are very ceruain they will not attempt any T'hing of a Siege this Summer. The 18th Inftant Lord Colvil arrived with five Sail of the Line and one Frigate.—— We are likely now to have another Battle with them, as we are order’d to hold ourfelves in Readinefs to march at a Moment’s Warning, where to, we have not yet heard, but the Garrifen are moftly of Opinion that it is to Trais Rivierie. Wednefday laft came to Town an Exprefs from our Regiment the 27th ult. who were then Encamped about 4 Miles above No. 4. at WENTWORTH's Ferry and were to march that Day: They areallwell and in bigh Spirits. By a Gentleman who left Bofion laft Tuefday Evering, and came to this Town the next Day, we are informed, that Col. Montgomery bas killed 60 of the Cherokee Indians, taken 40 Prifoners, and acfiroyed (bree of their Towns Tuelday Evening arrived here tiie Pitt Frigate, Capt. Watt from Bofton. To the ' PRINTER, T Y Circamftances, at prefent, are fuch as render me unable to write, being very near my Time of lying in, with the legitimate Iffue of Mr. Patrick Markbam, wic has made no Provifion for me or that; and therefore can enly deny all the Fallts, with which he has charged me in your laft Paper, in the Lump. Such Recriminations are the eafielt Kind of Defence, as much in the Power of a Perfon of the vileit, as one of the faireft Chara&er, when nothing is produced to fup- port them but bold snd falfe Affertions :—In the Paper to which J refer, among other Inftances of this Kind is what is faid about the Houle hired, &c. He knew when he went off, the term he had in the Houle would expire before he could pofiibly rewurn, and yet no other Place was provided, tha’ he a'lo knew zhat could not be had again ; and [ was obliged to go out accordingly, in a bad Seafon, to the Place I mentioned. 'This, as well as other Things I {poke of before, I have Witnefles to prove, were L. now able to go thro’ fuch a Deuail. Thefe Altercations, without Proof, are idle, every one will belirve as they ftand #ffeéted ; but my Innocence, and the Affurance that my Chare&er will fland right with all who know me, are no {fmall Confolations under thefe Afpeifions. 1f Mr. Markbam will confent to ereét & Spiritual Court, ftand the Teft of a Trial before them - according to Evidence and Juftice, and give Security to abide by the Sentence snd Relult of fuch an Inquiry into our Condu&, I fhould be willing to join Iffue, and think it to fome Purpofe to recoileét and enumerate Particulars, which in any other View would be as irk- fome as fruitlefs.
