Forces, conffing of about 700 Men, chief, Canadians, bawingfri?
fpik'd up all the Cannon that were in the Fort ; the Small Arms,
and other military Stores that belonged to the Garrijon, were carried
off by them. Gen. Montgomery, with bis Men, Wre q, e ,y kindly
received by the inhabitants of Montreal, and it was expeAcd be
would make it bis Head Quarters for the Winter.
It is Jaid tbegreatfl Harmony jubj'fs between Gen. Montgomery
and Gen. Woofer ; and that they are very unanimous in their mili
tary Operations.
By the New Fork Pof we are informed) that the patriotic Capt.
ISAAC SEARS, who for feme lime pad has ref ad in New-
Haven,Jet,out from that Place CM Monday las, attended by a Num
ber of Gentlemen as a Guard, for New York- - that in bis Way be
