“On Sunday, the9 h instant, we let out, and
about ten in the evening arrived at the place where
we tarried the night when we were up before; and
letting out to march to Chambli, just as we came
to the bread work tnat we had thrown up before,
we received a very heavy fire from two batteaus
t>at were on the Lake, with swivel and grape (hot,
and at the ame time ;r ?m the lavages on the shore.
Our armed boats perceiving the fire on the Lake,
fired three twelve pounders, one of which took the
enemy's principal batteau directly in the bow, and
tore her from item to stern : (he immediately funk,
with all the men in her, amounting to 35. We
then proceeded on to the bread-work, where we
killed their chief interpreter and one Indian. We
received no hurt at all. In the morning we saw
|heir armed schooner of 180 tons, carrying twelve
nine pounders, coming towards us ; we then tho't
it expedient to return to the island, until we could
have more aitid ry with us, which we now have
got, with a great number of bomb Shells, mortars,
&c. &c. &c. We are now immediately to embark
a third time, and are determined to take the schoo
ner and the fort at all events.
“ The Canadians have seized two batteaus that
were going to St John's, to supply the enemy with
provilions; on their requesting them to flop, the
Regulars fired at them, which the Canadians re
turned, killed twelve Regulars and took the rest
prisoners.—We last night sent off a party to Cham
tli, of 150 men, 50 of whom are Canadians, that
have been in the camp several days."
Extras? of a letter from Sebeneflady, Sept. 26.
" This afternoon an express arrived at Albany
from our army, which mentions they had met with
great success ; had taken a schooner well manned
and armed, killed all the people on board, and
poffelled themselves of a twelve pounder. The
companies of New-England men landed atSt. John's
and engaged a party of Regulars going to the fort
with carts, cattle and previsions, whichthey took,
and defeated the Regulars. Captain Yates, com
mander of a company of Germans, and one Lieut.
Van Slyke, of this town, have greatly diftinguithed
xthemfelves, which has recommended them to the
notice of General Montgomery. Five hundred
Canadians have voluntarily joined our army."
Extrafl of a letter from General Schuyler, to the Pro
vincial Congress at Neve-York, dated at Ticonde
roga, September 29, 1775.
“ I am still confined with the remains of an in
veterate disorder. I have this moment received a
line from General Montgomery ; he holds St. John's
besieged. The Canadians are friendly to us, and
join us in great numbers. We have taken fifteen
prisoners, seven of which are foldiers,\ and the rest
Canadians and Scotchmen in the service of the Mi
nistry."
We are informed from undoubted authority,
that Lord WILLIAM CAMPBELL, Governor
of South-Carolina, has fled with the utmost preci
pitation, on board the man of war in the harbour.
The Committee of Charleftown having very fortu
nately discovered that hit Excellency had employed
one CAMERON, an Indian Commissary, in the
interior parts%f that province, to engage the In
dians in the Ministerial service, who had a&ually
enlisted 6,0 'of them, and furniflied them with
every necedary in order to butcher the back inha
bitants. This plan was difeovered by a gentleman
who felted the express on his way from said Ca
reeron to the Governor, wnom he knew to be dif
affeaed to the American cause, and conveyed the
dispatches to the Provincial Committee. The above
gentleman jdif^mfed himfelf in a drover's habit,
and attended the expiefs to the Governor's house,
and heard the conversation between them, and
then difeovered the whole plot to the Committee.
His Majesty's floo, of war the Viper, arrived
here lalt Saturday, in 30 hours from Rhode Island.
She left England after the news arrived there of
the battle of Bunker's Hill, is but 14 days from
Boston, and has brought dispatches for all his Ma
jesty's Governors oh the Continent: We hear die
is to fail in a few days for the southern governments.
We hear Capt. Wallace has made a demand from
the inhabitants of Newport, of all the live stock
they could (pare from the island. The inhabitants
had only three days to confider of the matter.
