"In my last I mentioned an insurrection among the people down the river, which is entirely quelled at present. The New York troops under Maj. Duboys attacked their advanced guards, killed seven, wounded four, and took thirty eight prisoners, without the loss of one man; seventeen of which being principals, are sent off to Montreal. We expect the heads of the party every day, as they all dispersed upon hearing of this action; but the Major continues in pursuit of the fugitives with 150 men, and intends to take their commanders."
