NEW-YORK, December 4.

In our last we acquainted our Readers of the Arrival here of Col. Peter Schuyler from Canada. He brought with him to Fort Edward 114 Persons (including 25 Women and Children, which he purchased from the French at a very high Price) among whom are Major Putman, Captain Martin, of the Train, Mr. Stone, of the New York Regiment, 2 of the Jersey Officers, and Doctor Stakes. The Prisoners in general, are continually praising their Deliverer, Bradstreet, and say it was an unlucky Thing he did not go to Niagara, as there were only 15 Men at that Place, when he took Frontenac, they having sent all their Men to reinforce Fort Du Quesne, and Ticonderoga; and that they were in the greatest Confusion at Montreal, throwing up Trenches, expecting the whole English Army there. During Colonel Schuyler's Captivity in Canada, his Gratitude to his unfortunate Countrymen, was without Bounds, his Table being ever open and free to those in Distress: and we hear he has, out of his own private Purse, expended upwards of 20,000 Livres among his distressed Countrymen, in redeeming them from Captivity.
