THE DAILY POST• MONDAY MORNING HISTORIC AL INCIDENTS CONNECTED AV IT H THE CAPTURE or FORT DUQUESNE. [CONTINUED.] While the n.lvahoed division of the army iay at the Loyal Henning, near Fort Ligonier, Ma jor Grant marched to the vicinity of Fort ;Da que:lne, where he was defeated. The folloi'ing letter, publi. , ,heil soon after in the Pennsylvania Gazette, gives the fullest account of that affair which we have seen : ANNAPOLIS, OCTOBER sth. 1728. "We are informed by a letter from Frederick County, that on Monday, the 11th of September, Maj. Grant, of the Highland regiment, marched from our camp on the waters of the Kiskimini tae, with 87 officers and 805 privates, taken from the different regiments that compose the Western Army, on an expedition against Fort Duquesne. 'The third day after their march, they ar rived within eleven miles of Fort Duquesne, and halted till three o'clock in the afternoon ; then !marched within two miles of Fort Duquesne, and left their baggage there, guarded by a captain, two subalterns, and fifty men, and marched with the rest of the troops, and arrived at eleven o'clock at night upon a hill, a quarter of a mile from the fort. Maj. Grant ~ , n t two officers and fifty men to the fort, to attack ail the Indians, &c., they should find lying out • f the fort; they saw none, nor were they challenged by the sentries. 'As they returned, they set fire to a large state house, which was put cut as soon as they left it. At break of day, Major Lewis was sent with 200 men, (ro,s, al Americans and Virginians,) to lie in ambush a mile and a half from the *rain body, on the path on which they left their baggage, imagining the French would send to attack the baggage guard and seize it. Four hundred men were posted along the hill facing the fort, to covet' the retreat of Capt. ild'Donald's company, who marched with .drums beating toward the , fort, in order to draw a party out of the fort, as Ma). Grant had some reason to believe there were not above 600 men in the fort, including Indians; but as soon as they heard the drums they sallied out in great numbers, both French and Indians, and fell 'tzpon Captain M'Donald,' and two columns that:were posted lower on the hill to receive them. The Highlanders exposed themselves without any cover,, and were shot down in great numbers, and soon forced to re treat. The Carolinians, Marylanders, and Low- , er Countrymen, concealing themselves behind trees sad the brush, made a good defence; but were overpowered by numbers, and not being supported, were obliged to follow the rest. Maj. Grant exposed himself in the thickest of the fire. and endeavored to rally his men, but all to no purpose, as they were by this time flanked on all sides. Major L-wis and hie party came up and engaged, but were soon obliged to give way, the enemy having the hill of him, and flanking him every way A number were drove into the Ohio, must of whom w-re drowned. Major Grant re treated to the baggage, where Capttiiia Bullet was posted with fifty men, and again endeavored to 1 , 1 y the flying soldiers, by entreating them in the most pathetic manner to stand by him, burnall in vain, as the enemy were close At their heels. AS soon as the enemy came up Capt. Bul let at tacked them very furiously for Borne time. but not being supported, and most of his men wie otlged give way. However, hi• tackiog them -topped the pursuit, SO as to giv• m icy an o i Forturly of escaping. The enem' f 'lowed M jor G •nt, and at last separatt d them, and C ,pt Litt Bu I.:t VHS obliged to mak Lir. He im.igtues the JI jtr inner be taken, as he was surrounded on ad sides, but the enemy would rot him and often called to him to surrender. Tt.e French gave quarter to all that would accept it " On the 14 b of Oztober, the rear division of the army advanced from Raystown, towards Loyal Banning Oa the same day a letter was written at the latter place, from which wo take the following extract : "We were attacked on Thursday, (12th,) by 1200 French and 200 Indians, beginning at 11 A. ill and continued o' P. M.., when,l had the pleasure of seeing r Ltary attend the British arms. The enemy attempted to attack us again I at night, when in return for their melodiocamu i eio, we gave them some shells from our mortars, which soon, made them retreat.

'•Oa the evening -of the.-:2sth of November, 1758, General Forbes effgmped.,tvrelve miles from this plape. D aring th 6 day he had received telligence that the French comnianclatit was peeparing to' abandon Fort Duquesne: The do f-nt of General Braddock, only three years be- IJLe, was too recent to be forgotten, and of course operated as a salutary hint to General Forbes, eat to rals%an.le rashly. The intelligence, there f rr, even if br!lieved, was not to - be relied up o:., and was not communicated to the troops. "Oa the learning of the next day, the 25th of N :vember, 1758, the 'army advanced from their ea , ,anipment —the provincial troops in front, fol f,J Wed by a body of Highlanders. 'Upon tneir arrival near Fort Duquesne, they entered upon an Indian race path, upon each aide' of which .a numb& of stakes, with the bark pn,•led off, were stuck into the earth, and, upor each stake was fixed the head and kilt of a High laudsr ,wno had been killed or taken prisoner at Grant's defeat. The provincials, being front, obtained the first view cf these horrible specta cles, which it may readily be believed excited no very kindly feelings in their breasts. They passed along, .however, without any manifesta tioa of their violent wrath. But as soon as the ilighlandere camein sight of therremains of their c nritrymen, a slight buzz was heard in thornlike, which rapidly swelled and grew - louder and louder- Exasperated not only by the barbarous ourrages upon the persons of 'the' tinfortiinate fellow eoldiers who bad fallen only , a few days before, tintmaddened by. the insult whioh was oc•tiveyed by'the exhibition of their kilts, and which they well underetood, an they had long 1.,,-en nicknamed the •petticoat warriors' by the I ndii.ns, their wrath knew no bounds. rapid and violent tramping was heard, and unniediately. the whole corps, of the Highlander 4, with their'mu-kete abandoned, and brood s words drawn,passed the provincials, foam ir g with rage,:and resembling, as Coptain Craig head coarsely expressed it,'mad boars engaged in battle,' swearing iengeance and extermina tion upon the French troops who had permitted such outrages Their march was now hastenid —the whole arm, ai,ved forward after the High landers, and when they arrived somewhere about where the canal now rasees, the Fort was dis. covered to be in flames, and the last ,of the boats, with the flying Frenchmen, were seen passing down the Ohio by Smoky Island.— Great was the disappointment of the exasper ated Highlanders at the escape of the French, and their wrath subsided into a sullen and re lentless desire for vengoance."—Pcansy/vonia 'Gazetu. , (TO BEI CONTINUED.) AT La.ly Napier's late ball, the wife of the Count de Sartiges wore diamonds to the amodnt Of several thousands of dollars. The lace robes . worn by Mrs. Matthews, of Alabama, cost $BO4lO. Mrs. Glwin, of California, also were a robe!of Honiton Lie.e, 'valued, with its decorations, at $2,600. The dress worn by Lady Napier cost nearly the sane figure. -.' FEBRUARY 22 , .
