B O STON, September 18, Tbe Courier from Albany /afl Friday, bro't az authentic Acesunt of General AMHERSTs Proceedings o the 26th of Auguft, and are as fellow, viZ.

Olwegatchie which is & very good Indian Settlement with a Block Houfe Fort, was abandoned, tbe Enemy being pofted onan Ifland between tour and five Miles further down the River, where they were reported to be ftrongly Fortified. 'The General ordered both Shores to be reconnoitred ; and on the 18th, & Part of the Army paffed down on each Cosft, and afier fome Oppofition by a fmart Cannonading, the Fort was compleatly In- veited ; fo that none of the Garrifon could efcape. The four following Days were employed in raifing Batteries, which being finithed, on the Morning of the 23d, the Army began in concert with the Shipping, to fire on the Fort ; this lsfted *Gll the 25th in the Afternoon, when the French beat a Parley, defiring to know what Terms the General would grant them ? whofe An{wer was, That the Garrifon fhoold be Prifoners of War,— That every Thing in, and depending on the Fort fhould be delivered in it’s prefent State, and that He fhould give them but ten Mixutes to accept of, or diffent from thele Propoals. They eccordingly yielded to thefe Conditi- ons, and His Majefty’s Troops are now in Poflcffion of Fort Levis. Our Lofs on this Occafion has been very inconfider- able, that of the Enemy ( whofe Garrifon confifted of about 300 Men) about 12 killed, and 40 woun‘ed. Monf. Pouchot, the fame Gentleman that was laft Year faken at Niagars, had the Command of them. The Courier informs, That an Account was received at Albany before he came awsy, that the Army under Col. Haviland, had taken Poffeflion of St. john’sand Chamblee, the Enemy having abandoned thole Pofts,on the Approach of the Army. and in their Flight had deftroyed, every Scttlement between St. John’s and Montrea!, as Monf.

And On Saturday Evening laft were attended to the Grave, the Remains of the late Honourable Juftice SEwaLL, by 8 very great Number of People 5 the Proceffion being longer perhaps, than was ever known amongit us upon the like Occsfion; and in which there was not a Coun- tenance, but what feemed to be that of fome particular Friend to, and Mourner for, the Deceafed. This, tho’ avery fingular Circumftance, is by no Means a firange one, confidering the extraordinary Accomplithments, and great Worth of that excellent Man ; and that his Death, though doubtle’s Gain to himfelf, was almoft an itreparable La’s to the Province in general. PHILADELPHLIA,Sept 4. Our laft advices from Pittfburg are of the 18th ult. when the treaty held with the Indians there was finith- ed, to the entire fatisfation of all concerned.

Extraft of a Letter from South Carolina, Auguft 17. « There came in & {chooner the other day, who fpoke witha brig from Hali’sx, which briz told the {chooner, he had met with a wreck near Haiteras, a brig with a woman head, loaded with bread and flour, - and had 6 or 8 guns, three pounders. There was no men on board, nor any boat.” Oa Wednelday the 27:h ult. the following unhappy Affair happened a: the Center Houfe, in this'City, viz. Mr. Robert Scull, of this Place, with fome Company, was playing at Billiards there, when one Mr. Brulum- man, lately an officer inthe Royal American Regiment was allo prefent, who, without the leaft Provocation, levelled a loaded Gun he had with him, and thot Mr. Scull through the body, as he was going to ftiike his Ball, faying, at the fame Time, Gentlemen, [ will thew you a fine Stroke. 'The Wound did not prove imme- diately mortal, but on Saturdsy Mr. Scull died, haviog lived in ‘great Pain from the time of his receiviog the Shot ; motwithftanding which, he was far from fhewing the leaft Relentment againft Brulum:n, that he often prayed, we are told, for his Forgivenefs. 'T'he Officer was dire@ly fecured, and carried to Goal, where he lies for ‘Trial. It is faid (and which is remarkable) that he fhewed no Uneafinefs or Difcontent while in the Room, which was a confiderable Timie before he difcharged his Piece, but, on the contrary, (eemed very pleafant and agreesble. NEW.Y ORK, Scptember 8. Tuelday lst Capt. Prefcot, Aid de Camp to General AMHERST, arrived in Town in 6 Diys frcm the Army, which he left the 27(h ult. being fent Exprefls with Dilpatches for England ; whereupon the Packet was immediately got ready, the Mail clofed on Wednel- day, and the Veffel failed on Thur{day. A Privateer from Norfolk in Virginis, which had been fitted out to go in queft of the French Privateer Schooner lately mentioned to be on the Coaft, a Report prevails has taken and carried her into Virginia.

Magdebourg, ENERAL Laudohn having been re- Tuly 1. pulfed with great lofs, in 2n affault which he ventured to make upon Glaiz the night be. tween the '17th and 18th, left buta {mall number of troops before that place, and marched in order to at- tack the corps under the Command of General Fouguet, The latter, who was defirous of muintaining the poft at Landfhat, from whence he had juft diflodged the Ge. nerals Geifrugg and Jobnus, took all mesfures imme- diately for making a good defence. He was obliged, however, to lend off Major General Ziethen with fgur battalions and two {quadrons towerds Frauenftein, in order to prefesvea communicaticn wich Schweidsitz, 2s well 2s Major General Grant, on the other *fide. with fome Cavalry ; (o that there were but few Ge- nerals left with him, and part of his corps, of which the whole was already in itlelf but wesk. The 23d at two o’clock in the morning, Genersl Lau- dohn, with all his force, attacked all the redoubts which General Fouquet occupied near Landfbut, and carried: three of them, viz. thofe on the heights of Mummel, Bench, and Blafldo:ff, after a very vigorous defence on the part of the five battalions that guarded them. A- mongft others, one of Molol’s battalions diftinguithed itfelf extremely on this occafion. General Fouquet, having then thrown himfelf into the two redoubts, which he had ftill in his poflefion, upon the heights of Kirchberg and Galgenberg, was twice fummoned on the part of Genersl Laudohn to {urrender with his people, which he refufed complying with. In conlequence whereof, he was attacked wich great fury by the enemy, who by their fuperior force penetrated at laft into the redoubts, which had bezn defended till 6 o’clock. General Fouquet fell there into the hands of the enemy, after having received two wounds ; but part of his infantry, and slmoft al! the ca- valry, made their way, and got to Breflau. M:jor General Zicthen likewife, upon the approach of the enemy, threw himfelf into Schwedni:z, with his faur battalions and two fquadrons, without the lofs of & man. T his affair, however unfortunate, cannot but do great honour to Gen. Fouquet, for having defended his Poft with the urmoft bravery, though he had buta handful of men, oppofed to an army which, as thie ene- my themfelves have dcclared, confifted;of 0,000, end did not yield till after having occafioned as great a lofs, as they would have fuffered by a defeat in a piched battle. According to accounts received fiom the Au- {trians themfelves,they have had nesr 60oc men killed in the affsir, and almoft double that number wounded, which is the more credible, as Marfhal Daun has found himfelf obliged to detach five regiments of infantry and two ot cavalry, from his own army towards the county of Glatz, upon the news of this aélion. - By a Letter..fram Prince Henry’s head quarters at Landfberg, upon-the Wartha, of the z7:h of June, we learn, that his Royzl Highnefs having detached fome troops towards Pomerania, Lieut.
