'• Mr. Peafe, of Blanford, frerii Albany, brings ##
the following account, That General Gates was in
Albany with three regiments of foldierq, bon,d for
Ticonderoga, end detained on account of the tries,
who ata very truubleftmv in that county, and in Berk
shire M.. Peafi, onhis way home, wis in at Capt.
McKinlay's, in Nobletown, at which place a court
was held to examine a tory ; the lory on trial, cenfef
fid hifaf^f guilty, a^d produced his inlifting orders
given him by Elijah Williams, of Stockbridge, who
is a Colonel tinder Howe. He hath brought out a
number of officers engaged it Howe's employ. Wil
liams, with a number more, ere in irons, in order to
hef^ntto General Gates fir trial. Gem.Gitas hath

pended on, abent one hundred torie# appeared at £.
grement, in arms, yeflerday ; the whigs toon a&m
bled, and went iuqueft of, and overtook them, and the
Arft compliant ths whig# received, was a full volly
of shat, but not one mam hurt. The whigs returned
the fire, and killed three on the spot, and made a num
ber of pribws. B the appearsrce of things, 1 fair
we fhaU heva tae trouble of confining oar tories, in a
few dsyi, as there its call for every fifth man, to go
to Ticonderoga, and I believe they will not march
