Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman, who went out with a party of Volunteers from Lancaster County, for the Great Island, on the West Branch of Susquehannah, dated September 1. :

Last Friday, at Five o'Clock in the Afternoon; we had the Happiness of meeting a party of the Great Island-Warriors, at Munsey Creek Hill, on their Way to the Frontiers of this Province. They had the first Fire on our Advance Party, which was forced back on our Front, and, pursuing, engaged us briskly for some Time; but as we disposed of the Party so much to their Disadvantage, after Half an Hour's hot Firing they were obliged to run, with considerable Loss, I killed two myself, and saw several others fall by the good Behaviour of our Men.---John Clamons, Alexander Scott, James Chambers, and James M'Lanachan, were killed in the Engagement, and four others wounded, whom we brought in with us.---We buried the killed. so that the Indians did not get one Scalp.---We brought in four Scalps, and killed at least six more of the Enemy, but did not think it prudent to follow and Scalp them, for fear of some of the Indians falling in with our wounded Men.---We lost Several Horses.
