New-York, March 24. . . An express came to town on Saturday
morning last from Albany, and it's reported, brought word,
that a large body of French and Indians had, on Friday the
13th instant, laid siege to Fort William-Henry, near
Lake-George, but that they were by our brave garrison beat
off two different times with considerable loss, and obliged
to retreat at some distance: And that such reinforcements
from our forces and the country above were gone up to the
Fort's assistance, that it was not doubted but that they
would put the enemy to the rout, and before they had
occasion to sing Te Deum, be made to repent their fruitless
attack.
