Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Albany, dated the
6th instant.
Last week an express arrived here from Fort William Henry at
Lake George, and Fort Edward, informing us, that the people
in garrison there, intended to go to their respective
habitations, by the first day of May, the time for which
they were inlisted, being then expired. A detachment of 300
of our militia, and 100 regulars, were immediately sent to
relieve them; but as several of the New-Englandmen are since
gone up, we expect our men will soon return. Those of our
people that did not go, threw money on the drum head for
those that went. . .
