Boston, September 19. We have advice from Annapolis Royal,
that Col. Gorham, with two arm'd scooners and 8 whale boats
with about 100 men, had lately been six leagues up the River
Pisget, and landing his men, they went in search after some
deserters and Indians, . . . [23 lines describing encounter]
Upon their return and landing they march'd to the Grand
Prie, with drums beating and colours flying, where the
King's proclamation for a cessatian of arms was read; upon
which the deputies and ancient inbabitants, seem'd to
express a great deal of joy at the apeararance of a peace.
