The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

We learn from Canada and the frontiers of New York, that the crops have entirely failed in those parts, owing entirely to an exceeding and uncommon wet season. In Canada the prospect is dreadful, and unless they receive seasonable and ample supplies of grain, &c. from other quarters of the continent, the depopulation of that province must inevitably be the consequence.

There is a garrison still at St. John's, in Canada, consisting of two British regiments, some of Sir John Johnstone's corps, and other Loyalists. There is also a small garrison at the Isle of Noix and Point au Fer, in Lake Champlain.

Canada is overstocked at present with solid coin, which is chiefly in the possession of generous and hospitable peasants, the merchants and traders being all in a state of bankruptcy, their credit being merely nominal; the British agents there having stopped payment for near a twelvemonth past.
