The Report we had lately of some Cattle being taken on their Way to Crown Point, is without Foundation: one of the Persons who went with them returned here last Wednesday, and informs us, that the Indians had way laid them, but while they were preparing to fall on the Guard, a Party came from Crown Point to escort them, whereby the Enemy were disappointed in their Design: Our Informant left Crown Point last Wednesday 7 night, and was no more than three Days coming from thence to No. 4. and 2 Days more to Rutland.-- Colonel Haviland commanded at Crown Point: Major Rogers with his Rangers were there, and filling up his Companies with those who had a Mind to enlist out of the Provincials: Our Troops were hearty and in high Spirits; some of them employed in getting the Battoes and other Things in Readiness to go down the Lake, while others are employed in making a good Waggon Road from Crown Point to No. 4 at the same Time New Hampshire Troops are making the Road from No. 4 towards Crown Point.
