Since our last we had a snow from Rotterdam with between 2 and 300 Palatines settlers, and a ship from England with 100 recruits for Col. Warburton's regiment. Last week we had some pleasing account that the French settlers had ordered all their troops to hold in readiness to leave the province. That they informed the Indians there was a profound peace between the two crowns, and that they were marching to their respective quarters; and more, that six of the St. John's Indians had been into Chignecto Fort to treat of peace, and had been there some days when Capt. Luton, who brings the account, came from thence. This morning arrived a ship from Amsterdam with Dutch settlers.
