The New Hampshire Gazette

An Express come to Town on Saturday Morning last from Albany, and it's reported, brought Word, That a large Body of French and Indians had, on Friday the 13th Instant, laid Siege to Fort William Henry, near Lake George, but that they were by our brave Garrison beat off two different Times with considerable Loss, and obliged to retreat some Distance: And that such Reinforcements from our Forces and the Country Above were gone up to the Fort's Assistance, that it was not doubted but they would put the Enemy to the Rout, and before they had occasion to sing Te Deum, be made to repent their fruitless Attack.

Yesterday another Express arrived, and brought Tidings to the same Purport, with this Addition, that the Enemy, to the Number of 1300, were entirely routed, some Prisoners taken, with Cannon, Baggage, &c. But we are in hourly Expectation of the Particulars of this Affair by a 3d Dispatch.
