We also learn, that governor Carleton was gone off for Quebec with several vessels, and a large quantity of gunpowder, &c. but that it was expected the whole would fall into the hands of col. Arnold, who, we hear, was arrived before Quebec, and no doubt would very soon reduce that place.
Every necessary requisite for supplying the army under general Montgomery was found in Montreal, and on the most moderate terms, and where they will find very comfortable winter-quarters, after an amazingly fatiguing campaign.
