J. WATTS DE PEYSTER. ROSEHILL, Tivoliy T)utchefs Co., S. N. T.y 29th Odl., 1857. INTRODUCTION. AS early as 1753 Preparations began to be made between Great Britain and France for a Struggle to gain a Predominance in North America. The Defeat of Major Wafhington by the French and Indians at Little Meadows, of the Britifh under Braddock at the Monongahela, of the French under Baron Diefkau at Fort George by the Provincials, the Capture of Ofwego by the French under Montcalm, the Defeat of Aber- crombie by the French at Ticonderoga, the Capture of Louifburgh by Amherft, were fome of the principal Events of the Campaigns of the four Years preceding the one undertaken by Major-General Amherft' in 1759. ^ Jeffrey Amherst was dejccnded from an ancient Kcntijh Family, and born at Riverhead in England, 29th January, 171 7. He early devoted himjelf to the ProfejOTion of Arms, receiving an Enjign's Com- miJOlon when only fourteen Years of Age. At the Age of twenty-five he adled as Aid-de-camp to Lord Ligonier, in the Battles of Dettingen and Fontenoy, and afterwards Jervcd in the Staff of the Duke of Cumberland, vi IntroduEiion. Encouraged by the Acqulfition of Cape Breton and other Conquefts, the Colonies, on the AppHcation made to them through their Governours, by Mr. Pitt, prepared vigour- oufly for this Campaign ; and the vaft and bold Plan was formed of completing the Conqueft of Canada during this Year. Three Expeditions were accordingly planned to effed; this Objed; ; one under General Wolfe was to afcend the St. Lawrence and reduce Quebec ; another in thofe of Laffeld and Hajlenbcck, {Enc. Americana.) From that Date his Promotion was very rapid. In 1 756 we find him in Command of a Regiment of Foot; and in 1758 he received orders to return to England, being appointed to the American Service, with the Rank of Major-General. He Jailed from Portfmouth on the i6th of March, having the Command of the Troops dejlined for the Siege of Louijbourg, on the 26th of July following he captured that Place, and without farther Difficulty took entire PoJcjOlon of Cape Breton. After this Event he Jucceeded Abercrombie in the Command of the Army in North America, {Jllen.) The Capture of Fort Du Quefne, Niagara, Ticonderoga and Crown Point in due Time followed. General Amherjl, now feeing that the whole Continent of North America was reduced in Subjeflion to Great Britain, returned to New York, and was received with all the Rejped due to his public Ser- vices. The Thanks of the Houfe of Commons had already been trans- mitted to him ; and among other honourable Tejlimonies of Approbation, in 1 76 1 he was created a Knight of the Bath, {Chalmers.) Although he had been appointed Commander-in-chief of all the forces in America, and Governor-General of the Britijh Provinces, he rejlgned his Command jhortly after the Conclusion of Peace between Great Britain and France, and returned to London in December, 1763, where Honours and Favours awaited him. In 1770 he became Governour of Guernjcy and its Depen- dencies, and two Years afterwards was j\vorn of the Privy Council. In Introdu&ion. vif under General Prideaux was to proceed againfl Niagara ; and a third under General Amherfl: was to march againft Ticonderoga and Crown Point ; and having accomplished their Conquefb, to rendezvous at Montreal. Having iiniihed the Preparations for the Expeditions againfl Quebec and Niagara, General Amherfl: transferred his Head Quarters from New York to Albany, where his troops were affembled by the lafl of May. Yet notwith- ftanding the continued Exertions of the General, the 1776 he was advanced to the Dignity of the Peerage, when he took the Title of Baron Amherjl of Homefdale in the County of Kent; and in 1787 received another patent as Baron Amherjl of Montreal, (Rofe.) From 1772 to 1782 he officiated as Commander-in-chief of the Englijh Forces, Jerving the latter Part of which Period he afled as eldejl General on the Staff of England. In 1782 he received the Golden Stick from the King, but on the Change of Adminijlration, ujually called that of Lord North, the Command of the Army and the Lieutenant-Generaljhip of Ordinance were put into other Hands. In 1793 he was again appointed to the Command of the Army; but in 1795 he was Juperjeded by the Duke of York, then in his 31JI Year, who had never Jeen any Service. The Government upon this Occajlon, with a View to soothe the Feelings of the old General, offered him an Earldom, and the Rank of Field-Marjhal, both of which he rejeded; but in the following Year accepted the Latter. He died 3d Augujl, 1797, in the 8ijl Year of his Age. Lord Amherjl was as a Man of a colleded and temperate Mind, without Brilliancy or Parade ; a Jlrifl Officer, yet the Soldier's Friend. He was twice married, but left no Ijjue, and was jucceeded in his Title and EJlates by his Nephew, the Son of the Brother whom he had employed in the Redudion of Newfoundland. viii IntroduEiion, Summer was far advanced before he could crofs Lake George, and he did not reach Ticonderoga until the 2 2d of July, although he experienced no Oppofition of any Confequence, from the Enemy, becaufe their Forces were too fmall to defend thatPoft, much lefs to attempt ulteriour Operations. The Forces under the immediate Command of this General exceeded twelve thoufand Men, the greater Part of which were Provincials, furnifhed by the Colonies of New York, and New England. On the Appearance of thefe Forces before the Lines at Ticonderoga, the Enemy, the very next Day, abandoned the Fort. This Step they were compelled to take, in Confequence of the Feeblenefs of the Garrifon, occafioned by the Withdrawal of the greater Part of the Troops to Canada, for the Purpofe of repelling the Invafion expelled on the Side of Quebec. The Plan of the Campaign on the Part of the French feems to have been to delay the invading Army as much as pofTible, by the Appearance of Defence, but not to hazard any confiderable Diminution of their Strength, by defending Places until they fhould be fo com- pletely invefted, as to render the Retreat of the Garrifon impradicable. The Hope feems to have been enter- tained, on their Part, not without Reafon, that by retreat- ing from Pofl to Poft, and making a Show in their enfeebled State, of intending to defend each, the Advance of the Anglo-American Army might be retarded until the IntrodtiEiion. ix Seafon for Adion on the Lakes fhould pafs away, while their Force would gradually be fo concentrated as to enable them to maintain fome Point which would arrefh the Progrefs of the Army under Amherft, down the St. Lawrence to Quebec. {Macauley, Hiji. N. T.) In pur- fuance of this Plan, on the 26th July, 1759, the Day after the Redudion of Niagara, Ticonderoga furrendered, and thus paved the Way for the Subjedion of Canada. {Chalmers.) The Garrifon which evacuated Ticonderoga retired to Crown Point, and General Amherft, having :taken Pofleffion of this Poft, which covered the Frontiers of New York on this Side, ordered the Works to be repaired, and allotted a ftrong Garrifon for its Defence. The Acquilition, however, was not obtained without fome Lofs ; among others. Colonel Townlhend was killed by a cannon Shot, while reconnoitering the Works. [See p. yj.) While Amherft was employed in the Repairs of Ticonde- roga, he received Intelligence about the firfl of Auguft, that the Enemy had abandoned Crown Point. He im- mediately detached a Body of Troops to take PofTeffion of the Place, and on the 4th of the fame Month, proceeded with the main Army, and landed and encamped at the fame Place. Here he learned that the Enemy had retired to the Ille aux Noix, at the other End of Lake Champlain, five Leagues fouth of St. Johns ; and that their Force, encamped at that place, under the Command of M. de X IntroduEiion, Burlemaque, amounted to three thoufand five hundred effective Men, and that the Lake was occupied by four VefTels, mounted with Cannon, and manned with Piquets of different Regiments, under the Command and Direction of M.le Bras, a Captain of the French Navy, aflifted by M. de Rigal, and other fea Officers. In Confequence of this In- formation, General Amherft caufed feveral Veffels of War to be conftructed, under the Superintendence of Captain Loring, in order that he might obtain the Command of the Lake. Thefe being completed and equipped, the General embarked with the whole Army in Batteaux, on the eleventh of October, and proceeded down the Lake fome Diftance, but owing to the Tempefts which enfued, was obliged to return again to Crown Point, and give over the Defign of penetrating into Canada for the Prefent. In the mean Time, he put his Army into winter Quarters, and jftrengthened the Works at Crown Point. He alfo caufed a Road to be opened from Ticonderoga to Maffachufetts and New Hampfhire, to the End that Communications might be had with thofe Provinces by more dired: Routes, than by the Way of the Hudfon and Albany. Captain Loring however, went down the Lake and fell in with the French naval Force, which he defeated and deftroyed, whereby the Command of its Waters came into the Hands of the Invaders. {Macauley s Hiji. N. Tj ///, 42.) Thus terminated the memorable Campaign of 1759, IntrodtiBion, xi alike creditable to the military Abilities of General Am- herft, and advantageous to the Britifh Colonies, which had been fo long haralTed by the Incuriions of the French and Indians of Canada. It will be obferved that to the provincial Troops employed in this Expedition is to be attributed a greater Share of Renown than is ufually awarded to them. By their Zeal, Difcipline and native Energy, they contributed in no fmall Degree to the Succefs of the Campaign. Among their Officers will be found not a few who were trained here for the lading Fame which they acquired in the War of the Revolution. The Notes which accompany the Text, gathered from every available Source, although they ferve to refcue their Memory, leave us to regret that of fome of them fo little fhould be known.

He cnlifted in the ill Troop of Horfe Guards in 1741 ; had his Horfe fhot under him and was fcvcrely wounded at the Battle of Dettingcn in 1743, after killing a French Soldier who was about to feize the Colors. He now became an Out- penfioner of Chelfea Hofpital, and taught School at Campfie in Scotland, but on the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1745, he received a CommiiTion as Lieutenant of an Independent Company. In February, 1747, he was appointed Commiflary at Cape Breton and was placed on Half-pay in December, 1749, when he returned to England, where he refided until September, 1754, when he was appointed Commiflary of Provifions to the Army under Brad- dock, and fcrved in America until the Peace of 1763, after which he rcfidcd in the City of New York. Commiirary Leake died on the Morning of Tuefday, 28th December, 1773 at liis Seat in the Bowery, and his Remains were interred in the Family Vault in Trinity Church- yard, attended by a great Concourfc of the Lihabitants and the Military. John G. Leake, the laft of his Defcendants, died at New York, unmarried, 2d June, 1827, and to his munificent Endow- ment the Leake and Watts Orphan Afylum in that city owes its Exiftence (Report of the Hon. Charles P. Daly, N. Y. Aflcmbly Doc. 74, for 1844). 2 John Bradstreet was born in 171 1, and accompanied the Expedition againil; Louifburg in 1 745, as Lieutenant- Colonel in Pepperell's York Provincials, Maine. Of his Conduft in the Cam- paign, Gen. Peppercll obferves: "No Perfon in the Army could poflibly have behaved with more Zeal, Aftivity and Judgment, in the Meafures taken for the Accompli fhment of our Defign, which, added to his particular Knowledge in the Circumftances of this Place, juftly entide him to the Efteem and Thanks of every Well-wifher to the Succefs of the Expe- dition " (i Mafs. Hift. Coll., I, 40). On the 5th of September, 1745, he received a Commiflion of Captain in a Regular Regiment, called Sir William Pepperell's Foot (Parfon's Life of Pcp- perell, 150, 169, 312, 347), and as an Ticonderoga and Crown PotJtt, Albany, 27th May. Parole, Namure. Albany, 28th May, 1759. Parole, Maejiricht. The following Detachment to be made from the Pro- additional Reward for his Services, was appointed, on the 1 6th September, 1746, to the fmecure Place of Lieutenant- Governor of St. John, Newfoundland (London Mag., XV, 480 ; Gendeman's Mag.). Captain Bradilrect remained in Garrifon at Louifburg with his Regi- ment until 1748, in which Year it was difbanded. On the Renewal of HoftiH- ties in 1755, he was ordered by General Braddock to march with a Party of Provincials to Ofwego, preliminary to Operations againft Niagara; and when Shirley fucceeded to the Command, he made Bradftreet his Adjutant-General (i Mafs. Hift. Coll., VII, 96, 116). In the following Year he was again or- dered to conduft Supplies to Ofwego. On his Return, after having fuccefsfuUy perf irmed that Duty, he was attacked on the 3d July, nine Miles fouth of that Place, by a ftrong Party of the Enemy, which he defeated (N. Y. Doc. Hift., 8vo, I, 482-487). In March, 1757, he was appointed to a Company in the 60th or Royal Americans, and became Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army on the 27th December following, at which Time he was Deputy (^uarter- Mafter-General (Army Lift). Heferved in 1758, under Abercrombie, in the unfuccefsful Attack againft Ticonderoga, immediately after which he was per- mitted to March at the Head of 3000 Provincials, againft Fort Frontenac, which he reduced on the 27 th Auguft (Dunlap's Hiftory New York, I, 394; Knox's Campaigns, I, 150). The De- tails of this Achievement were publifhed the following Year under this Tide : " An Impartial Account of Lieutenant- Colonel Bradftreet's Expedition to Fort Frontenac ; to which are added a few Refleftions on the Conduft of that En- terprife, and the Advantages refulting from its Succefs : by a Volunteer in the Expedition ; London," 8vo, pp. 60. In 1759 he accompanied Gen. Amherft as Ouartermafter-General in the Ex- pedition againft Ticonderoga and Crown Point, and had his Head Quarters the following Year at Ofwego, where the Neceflaries were provided to facilitate the Dcfcent of the Army to Montreal; but ill Health prevented him accompany- ing the Troops. In February, 1762, he was promoted to be Colonel, and continued Quarter-Mafter-General for a few Years after (Army Lifts). In 1764 he commanded an Expedition againft the Weftern Indians, and nego- tiated a Peace with thefe Tribes at Detroit on the 7th September of that Year, after which he returned to theEaft (Parkman's Pontiac). On the 25th May, 1772, he was advanced to the Rank of Major- General ; and after a Life of great Activity, and after rendering eflential Service to his Country, died at New York, 25th September (Allen incorredlly fays Oftober 21), 1774.

He was promoted in May, 1761, to the Rank of Major- General, and in March following became Colonel of the 2 2d Regiment of Foot. At the Departure of General Amherft for England in 1763, Major-General Gage fucceeded him as Commander-in- Chief of his Majefty's Forces in North America. He rofe to be Lieutenant- General in 1770, and reftded in New York until May, 1774, when he re- moved to Bofton, on being appointed Governor of MafTachufetts. He was a fuitable Inftrument for executing the Purpofes of a tyrannical Miniftry and Parliament. Several Regiments foon followed him, and he began to repair the Fortifications upon Bofton Neck. The Powder in the Arfenal in Charles- town was fcized ; detachments were fent out to take pofTcffion of the Stores in Salem and Concord and the Battle of Lexington became the Signal of War. In May, 1775, the Provincial Congrefs declared Gage to be an inveterate Enemy of the Country, difqualified from ferving the Colony as Governor and unworthy of obedience. From this time the exer- cife of his fundlions was confined to Bofton. In June he iffued a Proclama- tion, offering Pardon to all the Rebels excepting Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and proclaimed Martial Law ; but the affair of Breed's Hill, a few days afterwards, proved to him that he had miftaken the charafter of the Americans.

If there is an odd Man the Officer takes what Man he chufes as his Second. This Method is always to be pradlifed, that every Officer commanding a Platoon may have the Men of the third Rank oppolite to him, that in cafe the Service re- quire it, the whole Batt" could be formed three deep in an inftant, by the Officers of the Platoons forming the rear Rank as they were, which is never to be done unlefs the Officer commanding the Batt^ orders it. The Men to be acquainted that this is ordered, as the Enemy has very few regular Troops to oppofe us; and that no yelling of Indians or fire of Canadians can poffibly brake their Rank, if the Men are filent, attentive and obedient to their Officers, who will led them to the Enemy, and their Silence will terrific the Enemy more then any Huzzeaing or Noife they can make ; which the Generall abfolutely forbids, and their attention and obedience to the Officers who command Platoons will enfure Succefs to his Majeftys Arms.

Smalli Pafports and Provifions or Money to carry 1 John Small was born in 1726, in Strathardle, Athole, Scotland, and ferved originally in the Scotch Brigade, then in the Dutch Service ; received a Commis- lion as Enfign in the 4zd Highlanders, Augull 29, 1747, in which Year he command a Party ftationed at Glenelg that was employed hunting the Rebels through the Highlands. The Company to which he belonged having been re- duced in 1748, he went on Half-pay, but was again called into aftive Service in 1756, when he was appointed Lieu- tenant in his old Regiment on the eve of its Departure for America, to join the Expedition under Lord Loudon. In 1758, the Regiment ferved under Gen. Abercromby againft Ticonderoga, and Lieut. Small accompanied the Expedition under Amherft the following Year to the fame Part of the Country, and in 1760 went down from Ofwego to Mon- treal ; he ferved in the Well Lidies in 1762, and on the 6th of Auguil of that Year was promoted to a Company. The fccond Battahon then returned to Scot- land, and was reduced in 1763, and Captain Small went on Half-pay, where he remained until April, 1765, when he was appointed to a Company in the 2 1 ft or Royal North Britilh Fuzileers which came foon after to America. He continued with this Regiment until 1775, when he received a commiOion to raife a Corps of Highlanders in Nova Scotia in aid of the Crown. No Chief of former Days ever more firmly fecured the Attachment of his Clan, and no Chief, certainly, ever defervcd it better. With an enthufiaftic and almoft roman- tic Love of his Country and Country- men, it feemed as if the principal ob- ject of his life had been to fcrve them, and promote their Profperity. Equally brave in leading them in the Field, and kind, juft, and conciliating in Quarters, they would have indeed been ungratehil, if they had regarded him otherwife than as they did. There was not an inilance of Defertion in this Battalion. He was appointed Major, commanding the 2d Battalion of the 84th Royal Emigrants, with a Portion of which he joined the Army under Sir Henry Clinton at New York in 1779, and in 1780 was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of his Re- giment. The Grenadier Company was at the Batde of Eutaw Springs. In 1782 he was quartered on Long Ifland and in 1783 the Regiment was difbanded. The Men who were Americans, and had enlifted while the 84th was ftationed on Long Ifland, emigrated to Nova Scotia, where they fettled the prefent Town of Douglafs. Lieutenant-Colonel Small be- came a Colonel in the Army on the i 8th November, 1790, and was appointed Lieutenant-Governor oi Guernfey in 1 793 ; he was promoted to the Rank of Major-General 3d Oftober, 1794, and died at Guernfey on 1 7th March, 1 796, in the 70th Year of his age (Gende- man's Magazine, LX VI, 353 ; Browne's Highland Clans, IV, 155, 167, 309; Stewart's Sketches of the Highlanders, I, 284, 296 ; II, 143 ; Army Lifts ; Beat- fon's Naval and Military Memoirs, VI, 269; Haliburton'sNova Scoda, II, 112; Onderdonk's Queen's County, pp. 203, 519. 523)- Ticofideroga and Crown Point, 195 them to their refpedlive Abodes, and the Generall experts that every Man will do his utmofl to wards earring on this Service, and if any Man (houd offer to go Home before his Paffport is given to him, a Partie fliall be fent to appre- hend him ; he fhall be Tryed by a Generall Courtmartiall and no Mercy (liall be fliown him.

He loft his Father (who was a Juftice of the Peace) when he was only five Years of Age. He was intended for the profeffion of Medicine, which he quitted for a Military Life. He ferved with Reputation in the Expedition carried on acrofs the Lakes againft Canada. After the Peace he formed the refolution of Exploring the moft in- terior Parts of North America, and of even penetrating to the Pacific Ocean, over that broad Part of the Continent which Hes between the forty-third and the forty-fixth degrees of North Latitude. As the Enghfli had come in pofTelTion of a vaft Territory by the Conqucft of Canada, he wiihed to render this Acqui- fition profitable to his Country, while he gratified his Tafte for Adventures. He believed that the French had intentionally kept other Nations ignorant of the inte- rior Parts of North America. He hoped to facilitate the difcovery of a North- weft PafTage, or of a Communication between the Hudfon's Bay and the Pacific Ocean. If he could effect the eftablifh- ment of aPofton the Straits of Annian,he fuppofed he fhould thus open a Channel for conveying Intelligence to China and the Englifh Setdements in the Eaft Indies with greater expedition than by a tedious Voyage by the Cape of Good Hope or the Straits of Magellan. With thefe Views he fet out from Bofton in 1766, and in September of that Year arrived at Michillimakinac, the moft interior Eng- lifli PolL He applied to Major Rogers, the Governor, to flirnifh him with a pro- per AfTortment of Goods, as a Prefent for the Indians living in the Track which he intended to purfue. Receiving a Sup- ply in part, it was promifed that the remainder fhould be fent to him when he reached the Falls of St. Anthony in the River Mifiilfippi. In confcquence of the failure of the Goods, he found it necefTary to return to Prairie la Chien in the Spring of 1767. Being thus re- tarded in his Progrefs weftward, he determined to dircft his Courfe north- ward, that by finding a communication between the MifTiffippi and Lake Supe- rior, he might meet the Traders at the grand Portage at the northwcft Side of the Lake. Of them he intended to Purchafe the Goods which he needed, and then to purfue his Journey by the 196 Amherji's Expedition againjl Regiment, Lieut. Bean of Williards Reg^ with 49 Men, Lieut.

He reached Lake Superior be- fore the Traders had returned to Michil- limakinac, but they could not furnifli him with Goods. Thus difappointed a fecond Time, he continued fome Months on the North and Eaft Borders of Lake Superior, exploring the Bays and Rivers which empty themfelves into that large Body of Water, and carefully obfcrving the natural Produftions of the Country, and the Cuftoms and Manners of the Lihabitants. He arrived at Bofton in Oftober, 1768, having been abfent on this Expedition two Years and five Months, and during that Time traveled near fevcn thoufand Miles. As foon as he had properly digelled his Journal and Charts, he went to England to publifli them. On his Arrival, he prclcnted a Petidon to his Majei1;y in Council for a Reimburfement of the Sums which he had expended in the Service of Government. This was referred to the Lords Com- mifhoners of Trade and Plantations, by whom he was examined in regard to his Difcoveries. Having obtained Permif- fion to publifh his Papers, he difpofcd of them to a Bookfeller. When they were almofl ready for Prefs, an Order was ifTued from the Council Board, re- quiring him to dcli\'er into the Plantation Office all his Charts and Journals, with every Paper relating to the Difcoveries which he had made. In order to obey this Command he was obliged to pur- chafe them from the Bookfeller. It was not until ten Years after, that he pub- lifhed an Account of his Travels. Being difappointed in his Hopes of Preferment, he became Clerk of the Lottery. As he fold his Name to a Hiftorical Compila- tion, which was publiflied in 1779, in Folio, endtled.
