The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

NEW-YORK, March 12.

Our Advices from the Frontiers of this Province, received by Way of Express on Thursday last, and by the Albany Post on Saturday, are of as indubitable Authority and Credit, as the Extract we gave in our last relating to the March of 200 Indians sent out by Sir WILLIAM JOHNSON, against the Indian Village of KANESTIO.
These Advices are, That on the 2d Instant, at Night, Sir WILLIAM received an Express by an Indian and a white Man, from the above Party, importing, "That on the Evening of the 16th of Feb. they had reached the main branch of the river Susquehanna, on their way westward, when they received private advices that a large body of the Delawares, our Enemies, Were at a small distance, destined against some of our Settlements."
Upon which intelligence our party immediately made all possible dispatch to surprize them, which they happily effected by surrounding them in their encampment at the dawn of day on the 27th.--Their approach was so sudden that our enemies could make no defence, and were made prisoners to the number of Forty One, with their Chief: Captain BULL, (an Indian) Son of Teedyuscung, a person who has been in arms against the English during the late hostilities. heading many parties and discovering great inveteracy against us. Our Indians immediately bound the prisoners, and sent them under a strong escort down to Sir William, where they were expected in a few days after the 3d Instant.

We trust this good beginning will be followed by some other success, and sufficiently prove the importance they are of in an Indian war, as well as the judgment of the present GENERAL, who made use of their services.

We are further assured from above, that another party of Indians in our interest, said to be about 40, are preparing to go out against our tawny colour'd enemy tribes, as soon as the weather is somewhat more mild; the whole set in motion by the indefatigable care and industry of Sir William Johnston.
