There were the greatelt Rejoicings in England on Advice of this glorious Conqueft.—Itis but three Months fince it was compleated; and yet the Account has been Home, aud the Particulars returned here in fo fhort a Time.

Ic is faid that the General who commanded the Auftrians was killed, and 8o officers taken prifoners. L 0N DO N, OGober 7. We hear that a new treaty has been lately concluded between the Emprefs of Germany and Emprefs of Ruffia, in conjun&tion with France, in order ™ for the more effcftually cruthing the King of Pruffia. But to frafirate their ambitious and revengeful fchemes, preparations are now making with the utmoft expedi- tion for the greateft and moft important expedition that ever went out. It is faid it will confift of all the land forces and men of war that can poflibly be fpared out of the kingdom, under the command of Lord Ligosier.

S SR, Montreal, Fune 3, 1760. H E Chevalier de Levy is juft returned to this town : he has repeated (o me the frong teftimony, which he had before given me, of the good will, the Zeal and ardour of your Contpzany of Militia. I expeéted no lefs from the fidelity of the B¥aveCana- dians,and from their attachment to thejgative country™ His Majefty, who is by thistime probsbly inforined = of your brilliant victory, will be no lels pleafed wink this, than affected with the diftrefles of the coleny : fo that fuppofing that a peace has not been concluded, on the receipt of this news, the King of England cannot pofibly avoid fubfcribing fuch terms ss our Monarch thall have impofed upon him. You are not uninformed of the grest sdvantiges which we gain’d in Europe during the laft campaign, over the Englifh and Pruffians. The prifoners which are bringing in every moment, a1l agree in confirming them. The truth is, his Majefty is in perlfon in Holland, with an army of 200,000 men, the Priace of Conty in - Germany with 100,000, and the Princes of Deux Ponts, and Soubife, command the armty of the Empire of 200, 000 ; and lcflg', the Emprefs of Ruffis, and the Queen of Hungary, Rave join’d their whole force, and were taking meafures for the conqueft of the remainder of his Pruflian Majefty’s dominions. Befides this, the laft accounts affure us, that the gar- rifons of Fort Frederick, Niagara and Cimungln, have fuffered greatly by aficknefs, which is not yet ftopped, and that the regular troops in New England are reduced to nothing. General Murray therefore has difperfed manifefoes te no purpofe, to magnify his own nation, to pacify the Canadians, to engage them to lay down their arms, to dilcredit our bills of exchange, and cur currency, at the fame time that the Englifh traders are eagag to procure them, becaufe they have been regularly paid. You fee, 8ir, that the colony is drawing to the end of its hardfhips and diftrefles, and that it is upon the point of fecing plenty {ucceed to {carcity. 1f the Englith make any attempt, it can have no other obje@ than the ambition of their Genersls ; we are thoreughly prepared to repulfe them with fpirit ; we have a train of artillery, befides that which we.took from the enemy ; a fill greater proportion of powder, ball, and eammunition, for the operations which I have projected 3 we have ello provifions enough, by means ot the refources which we fhall find inthe good will of the Canadians, who have the greateft inicreft in the The King’s troops will even live, if neceffary, upon roots, when they cannot do better, and will not fail to join their endeavours to thofe of the brave Canadians. ¥ My intention then is, that you and all your milida, fhould hold yourfelves ready to march with a1ms, bag- gege, and eight days provifions, to our frenticrs, when the cafe fhall require it. I believe I may venture to sflure you,that thele will be the laft difpofi.ions which I fhall have occafion to make, for the defence of this colony, being firmly convinced, that fomge time in Auguft; at lateft, we fhall have peicc, provifions.andjin general whatever we want. [ am, &c. P. S. You will sflemble the militia of your cempany, - and read this letter tothem ; you will carefully infps¢k fheir arms ; if any of them are out of order, you will give them a note, and the Kings gungmiths will repair them immediately.
