[Following article on battle at Quebec, favouring English
success:]
We can't help observing the French artifice, in order to
keep up the spirits of their people, by representing that
affairs go ill with General Amherst; for it is evident he
did not cross the Lake till some time after the date of the
above letter: And if General Amherst should succeed in
reducing their fortresses, which we soon expect to hear, we
should not be surprised to receive an account, that the
French had sung Te Deum for the victory they had obtain'd.
