Oct. 6. We are informed that the report of lord Loudoun's desiring to be recall'd from America, was entirely groundless, that noble lord having by his great attention to the public welfare, and polite behaviour to the inhabitants, so endeared himself to them, that they declare that there is no enterprize, however dangerous, that he shall propose for his Majesty's service, but they will most readily assist him in, with their lives and fortunes.
It is said, that his lordship and Admiral Holbourn have concerted such measures, as in the ensuing spring cannot fail, not only to stop the progress of the French arms in those parts, but to drive them from several of their strong and valuable positions.
