Set sail fiora Sandy Hook for Louisburg with af^ir wind, under convoy of the Nightingale, Captain Campbell, the fleet consisting of about twenty eight Sail ; the greatest part of which is to take in the Troops from Nova Scotia, and the rest having Colonel Fraser';:; Regiment on board. i Thursday, 17th. May. We came into the harbour of Louis- bourg, having had a very agreable and quick passage. We ^; are ordered ashore every day while here, to exercise along with the rest of the Army. On the 29th. May, and some days before and after, the Harbour of Louisbourg was so full of shotik of Ico that uo boats could go from the 8hips to Shoro, Thure la Ml iow« S5U0W Jft the hollowu, on fihoik?, l liUppniiC! tlw Uu* aomos from t\\& Gulf and vivoi of St. LawvaDC^i, 1 hear a Lieutenant, on board one of the Men of War, has shot iiinisclf, for fear I suppose, the French should do it.

The whole of our Division anchored I Saturday, — ansports nigh the Isle auz Coudres. Two Boats having gone from our sland of fleet to sound near the shore, were fired on by the Indians, covered as they say, with two pound swivels ; they came pretty nigh hrrencc them, but nobody was hurt. We found Admiral Durell with most part of his Squadron at Coudres.
