FORT WILLIAM HENRY, July 26, 1757.
SIR,
I AM very sorry that I have nothing better to relate to you than the following melancholly Affair, viz. Col- onel John Parker, with three of his Captains, and six or seven Subalterns, with Captain Robert Maginis, Cap- tain Jonathan Ogden, Lieutenants Campbell and Coats, of New-York Regiment, with about 350 Men, went out on the 21st Instant, in Order to attack the advanced Guard at Ticonderoga by Water, in Whale and Bay- boats: They landed that Night on an Island, and sent before Break of Day to the Main Land three Battoes, which the Enemy way-laid, and took. These Battoes were to land two Miles this Side; they being taken, gave the Enemy Intelligence of their Design of Landing. Our Men next Morning at Day Break, made for said Point, and the Enemy, who knew our Scheme, contrived as a Decoy, to have three Battoes making for said Point, which our People imagining to be the three Battoes

sent out the Evening before, eagerly put to Land, where about 300 Men lay in Ambush, and from behind the Point came out 40 or 50 Canoes, Whale and Bay-Boats, which surrounded them entirely, and cut off every one that was in the Circle. Colonel Parker and Captain Og- den, are the only two Officers that have escaped with Life, the latter much wounded in the Head. Capt. Maginis, and every one in the Boat with him, are killed; and not one Man left alive that were in the Bay Boats. Captain Woodward being terrible wounded, jumped over board, and was drown'd.

Upon the Whole, only Parker and Ogden escaped, with about 70 Men, all the Remainder, being about 280, are killed, or taken.1 -The Pennsyl- vania Journal, No. 763, August 4, 1757.

WHEREAS some time in the Month of March past, two Men, who said they lived at Lancaster, in the Prov- ince of Pennsylvania, came on Horseback, with Packs of Linen and some other dry Goods, to Prince-town, in the Province of New Jersey, and offering to pass several Ten Shilling Bills of Credit, of the Pennsylvania Impres- sion, to Persons in the said Town, the said Bills were suspected to be Counterfeit, and the Subscriber hereof (a Magistrate of the County of Somerset) was thereupon applied to, who on inspecting the said Bills did judge that they were Counterfeit; and thereupon enquired of the said Men how they became possessed of the said Bills, they informed the said Magistrate that they had received them of a Person in Trenton, and requested to have the Liberty of going to the said Person at Trenton, in order to show their Innocency in the Matter; the said Magistrate refused them that Liberty until they offered to leave their Packs (which appeared valuable) as a Pledge for their safe Return. The said Packs being thus put in the Possession of the said Magistrate, the said two Men went off, under Pretence of going to Tren- ton, and returning immediately, but to this Day have never returned; the said Magistrate therefore thinks it proper to make this Advertisement as publick as may be, as well to find out such Enemies to the Government as the Counterfeiters of Money are, as to inform all Per- sons whom it may in any wise concern, that the said Packs of Linen &c, unless they be properly redeemed, will on Thursday, the first Day of September next, at Princetown, be sold by publick Vendue, and after pay-
