since I wrote Your Excellency this morning, I have further intiligence, that I think may be depended on; that seven of the nine Regts I mentioned, are alrrady embarked with all their Baggage; the two others is expected to embark immediately. The Transports lyeth in the North River. Query whether they may not have intensions of pushing up the North River. A further circumstance worthy of Consideration. The people that alarmed us last night, or at least commanded them, was our old Villains from this place; Viz. Cornelius Hatfield & Capt. Lusee and some others of the same gang, who left N. York yesterday in a whale Boat, and passed our Flag-Boat that was returning, after taking over General Thompson.1 Some thing may be conjectured from this manuvre; we may reasonably expect them this night again, in which case, we may conjecture that they intend to make us calous to surprises here, that they may more easily effect one; or while they are making those faints here, they intend to make a surpriz up the North River, or some other place.

I thought it my duty to inform Your Excellency of these circumstances as soon as possable that You might take Your Measures accordingly2 and am Your Excellency Most Obedt Humble Servant
