7 Sep 1758:22 (696)
Boston, August 21. . . Last Saturday Capt. Read arrived here
in 12 days from Louisburg, by whom we have the following
letter, which contains some agreeable particulars of the
surrender of that fortress to the English on the 26th of
July last.
Cabarous-Bay, July 29, 1758.
I have now the pleasure to write you, that yesterday morning
I was agreeably entertained with the Grenadiers March,
finely played upon 3 fifes, and two drums, relieving the
Grenadiers Guard under British colours, upon the walls of
Louisburg, which is a fine tune the French has not danced to
for some time; but now it is time for them to pay the
fifers: Our batteries had been open about 4 days, when a
Colonel on the 26th inst. came out with a letter to the
General, who was coldly received. . .
