Extract of a Letter from an Officer at Quebec.
We have Chief Justice Gregory with some Attorneys at Law, &c. lately arrived at Quebec, but it is thought that the Civil Government will not take place, 'till sometime in September, at which time, by the Treaty of Peace, all the inhabitants that do not go to France must become British Subjects: but the Number which we shall lose upon this occasion will be very inconsiderable, as we have by every ship from England, French reduced Officers of the Colony Troops, and those that have Connections in this Country, coming over to take up their Quarters and settle, who are generally very much dissatisfied with their Reception and Treatment in France. --- Every thing remains quiet in the upper Country, though it is said by some late Letters that the Savages are making Preparations to open a Campaign. The 300 Canadian Volunteers which were raised and went from hence are arrived, some time past at Oswego. The several Nations of Indians about this Place have taken up the WAR HATCHET in our Favour. Sixty Warriors are already gone to join Sir William Johnson, and about Sixty more are now preparing to set out.
