The New Hampshire Gazette

Friday last the Courier returned here from Albany, and by him we have the following Extract of a Letter from Col. Havens at Crown-Point, dated Crown Point, August 22, 1760.

We have News from our Encampment by Express, That they landed at the Isle of Noir the 16th Instant, with the Loss of one Capt. Glegg of the Train, who was killed, had both Legs shot off, and 5 others of the Train had each of their Legs shot off with the same Ball, one of which since died of his Wounds, and that our Army had erected 3 Batteries within 400 yards of their Fortifications, and were well entrenched; and by a Deserter which came to our Camp the 19th Instant, we learn, That they were but 1200 strong, French and Indians, and but 12 Pieces of Cannon, and was short of it for Ammunition: That General Murray was very near Montreal, and had cut to Pieces two Battalions of the Enemy, and had taken one Captain and his Company Prisoners. This Deserter further says, That Gen. Amherst was within two Days March of Montreal.--- We are all well, our Army is in high Spirits; we are in Hopes in ten Days to give you an Account of the Surrender of Canada. N. B. The above Express left the Army the 20th Instant.

The Courier informs, That he heard a Letter read at Albany, from Col. Haviland to ---- Lake, Esq: Pay Master of the Forces there, dated at the Camp at Isle Noir, which agreed in every Particular with the above, excepting, "That General Murray would have cut to Pieces the two Battalions of the Enemy had not Night prevented."

The Courier also informs, That one of the Boats overset on the Lake, soon after our Army set out from Crown Point, by which Accident 9 men were drowned.
