The New Hampshire Gazette

By an Officer who was taken Prisoner after the Battle near Quebec on the 28th of April last, and carried to Montreal, we learn, That the French Indians were very insulting to them since their bad Success, and threatned to join General Johnson with the Mohawks, when they should receive Intelligence of their approaching: That the French being short of Warlike Stores very much regretted the Loss of one of their Store Ships, in which they had the greatest Quantity, and were thereby extremely intimidated: That as they expected General Murray up from Quebec, twas thought they would soon give up on the Approach of General Amherst with his Army, and General Murray with his.

-- That an Officer from France arrived at Galpee in a Dunkirk Cutter in 28 Days, and landed there, from whence he got to Montreal the Morning the Prisoners set off: there was no News transpired: but by the Countenances of the French People, it seemed to be something very discouraging:

-- That at Montreal they are in great Consternation and Confusion, blaming one another for their Mis carriage. That Salt is sold for 5s. Sterl. a Bushel, and a Quart of Brandy for 42 Livres: That the French Army is dispersed through the Country, and only half a Battalion of Regulars at Montreal, where is also Mons. Levy who is determined to give Battle to the first English Army that appears in their Territories: And that both Levy, and the principal People in Canada, seem pretty well satisfied that their Country is gone.

-- That the French acknowledge to have lost at the siege of Quebec 114 officers and 1500 privates. tho' the people of the country say they miss 3000.

-- That Capt. Ince of Ottways, Capt. Archibald of Lascelles, and 3 other officers, who were taken prisoners on the 28th of April, died of their wounds at Montreal. That Mons. Bourlamac lies dangerously ill of a wound in his thigh.

- That Mons. Longe, a famous partizan, fell thro' the ice some time ago and was drowned; his loss is greatly lamented by all Canada, as his equal is not to be found in that country.

- That the Cagnawaga Indians are divided among themselves, half of them declaring they will join us, the other half saying they will retire into the woods and remain neuter.
