Accounts from different Parts of the Country
ire, That a Body of Continental Troops that
had been sent to Wyoming were cut off by the
Indians; that Fort du Quefne was evacuated
by General M'lntofh, for fear of having his
Retreat cut off by Captain Hamilton, who 'tis
said was on his Way for that Place from De
troit; that great Numbers of different Indian
Nations were daily expected on the Frontiers
of the Middle British Colonies, in consequence
of which Colonel Ogden's Battalion of Conti
nental Troops marched from Eiizabeth-Town
last Wednesday for Eafttown, where they were
to be joined by a Party under the Command
of General Sullivan, who was to proceed from
thence for Minifink, and as far as Cherry Va

of a few Indian Huts, and the capturing of
four old Squaws, one of which was wounded,
the Men having Intelligence of the intended
Attack, proceeded farther up the Country, as
