The New Hampshire Gazette

By certain accounts received the 22d Instant from Pittsburgh and the other Posts on the Communication, we have the following Particulars, viz. That a Convoy of Provisions was arrived at Fort Pittsburgh by Water from Redstone Creek: That Col. Stevens was to march with another large Convoy of Provisions and Indian Goods from Fort Ligonier on the 18th of this Month: That a Number of Indians had arrived from Fort Pittsburgh at Fort Ligonier, to meet and escort our Convoy going from thence: That some of them who came lately from reconnoitring the Enemy's Posts to the Westward, bring Intelligence that they are very much alarmed with the News they have received, of a large Body of English and Indians being assembled at Oswego; and further say, that a great Number were to be at Pittsburgh in 15 Days, and that it was their Opinion, that most if not all the Western Indians would thereupon join the English.

And we have also the Pleasure of acquainting the Publick, that the Troops at Pittsburgh, and those upon, and marching to the Communication, are in perfect Health, and high Spirits; and there is no Doubt made but by a hearty Concurrence in this and the neighbouring Provinces to furnish Carriages for the Transportation of Stores and Provisions for the Western Army, the utmost Good will result to these Colonies, and great Reputation and Honour to His Majesty's Arms.
