Our last number closed with an accou4
of the killing of Monsieur Donville; and,
the finding Om him certain instractiona
proving,that Captain Dutnas was
.in

On the. Bth of June, 1757, Lieutenant
Baker ,returned to • Foil Cumberland_ from
an:expeditio_rt, with five soldiers and fifteen.
Cherokee Indians, towards Port•DirQtresi
ne. They had fallen in .with a party of
three French officers and 'seven men-on
the head waters of, TUrtle creek, about 20
miles from Fort Du Quesne.. ' ,•
They killed five of the Frenchmen and
took one officer prisoner. From this offi
cer •they learned that Captain Lignery then
commanded at Fort Du, Quesne, and that
the force then here was six hundred French
troops and two hundred Indians.. This
Captian Lignery was, probably, the same.
Who accompanied Beaujeu to , Braddock's
Field, and was ,second in command after
the death of that enterprising soldier.
FrOni this time we have no notice of
Fort Du Quesne until late in the succeed,
ing year,. 1758. The war, between Great
Britain and France had, up to the end of ,
1757, been a.disgracuful and unfortunate
one on the part4he formW-110er. • •

and • 175 - 9 . witnessed 'the extinction .of .
French power in Ainerica.-• Under his DA
ministration the itiilitary
,genins.of a-Clive
wasealled into service, and under his di.;
reetion - and ' com Mood BritiSh power in
India- was re-established, and widely'ex
tended; „while-Wolfe and Forbes ane:-Ain
beret swept the French from the soil of
the North Aineriean continent, and even
the almost impregnable Havanna was com
pelled to yield to British skill and gallantry.
In the beginning of 1758, it was deter-
Mined to act with great energy in this,
country; Birch - different 'expeditions were
planned—and the .first,-- 'against Fort Du
Quesne, was entrusted to BrigadiefGene- ,
„rill Joseph
.Forbes.
Colonel .John Stanwix,' of • whom we
shall hereafter,have occasion to speak, was
then in command ih -Pennsylvania—his
head quarters" at Carlisle. He was pro-.
motel; and ordered to New York. For
the expedition -m this place, Gen. Forbes
was furnished with the • following troops:
1200 Highlanders,, 350 Royal Americans,
2700 Pennsylvania Provincials, 1600 - froiii
Virginia, 2 or 300 from Maryland, and two
companies from' Sonth Carolina.
- He commenced his match froM
about----the' middle of July, 1758, to join
the advanced portion of the army under
Colonel Boquet, who was at Raystown.
On ,the oth of September he.wrote from
Fort Lciudon complaining of the want of
wagons: On the 2d'of August, Washing
ton, who was at-lort Curnberland Withthe
Virginia troops, wrote to, Colonel Boquet
a\very long and.earnest letter; urging-upon
him reasons why the, army should proceed
by. Braddoek'e old road, instead of cutting
a new one through . Pennsylvania. No
person who reads thatlßler—carefullY• can
fail_ to conclude that he-was right, and that
the army should have adopted - 'the southern
route. Colonel Botiet, howeier, seems
to have • had great infltienee . with Forbes : ,
and 'Was supposed himself to have been in
fluenced by Franklin. •
— The arguments offered I.iy_
hi favor of the southern rbutc, ivere ad sa
tisfactory and convincing; that no unpre
judiced judgment could fail •to feel
,their
force. We must, therefore, presume that
Pennsylvanians desired to seize. that op
•portunity to get a road cut through Penn-.
sylvania to this pluce,_so.as.tti afford them
better access to the Indians without leaving
the.bonnds of, theirproVince.. If snch'were,
their rnotives, • they'wpre unworthy ones,
and had nearly involved the country 'in se
riOusembarrassments and:difficulties. The
northern route was selected, and the, \Fir;
ginia troops were ordered to joid_the main.
body at Raystown. On .the-Bth of Septem
ber, Washington was at - thai -- place; as we
learn from a letter written 'by him on that
.day. • .
Prior to 'Washington's .arrival atilays,

dred' Men., • He; howevei, as it is said, ex
ceeded his orders, and arrived and encamped
otilttiii hill-now called by his name; , on the
13th.Or September; and- on - -the next-day,
a most sanguinary action took place with
in the limits of eur city. The folloiVing
account, which, is the fullest that we have
seen, is troM-the 2d'voluMe of Marshall's
Life of Waehingtori:
" In the night be reached a biTnear the
fort, where he posted • hisined in different

menced;'Major Lewis left. Captain Bullett,
of Colonel Washington's, regiment, with
.about 50 'Virginians, to,guard the baggage,
and advanced with ibe utmost speed ,to
support Major Grant. The English were
defeated_ with,considerablelossi - and - both'
Majors Grant and 'Lewis taken prisoners.
In the action the VirgitT.ians. behaved inopt
gallantlY, and evinced the spirit with ,whielt
they hadsbeen trained. .Out of 8 officers,
five were killed, a sixth. wounded, and, a
seventh taken prisoney.'. Captain Bulletti
Who defended the baggage.with great reso
lution, and contributedio save the remnant
oldie detachment, was the only officer who
escarldil unhurt: Out of one .hundred and
sixtp:six meh, sixty-two were killed on_tlie.l
spot, and two wounded. This conduct on. l
the part of his regiment reflected ihigh.ho
ner en their commander as well as en-them

compliments of the genetal. The total

been very diffictilt to haVe Wintered - the

taken,wlitrave information that the French
troops were in gmat.d4ittess, - that they re
ceived no assistance from Canada, and,. of
course, their force was, small, and that the
Indians had deserted them. This infor
mation Actermined the Gene'rat to proceed.

Thus Was this place, where the first

after' remaining in possession of the French
;for More thanfour years and sevent - tionths,

During the four years and seven months
-which the French held this place, Wash

in the military service, and during that
period received his first lessons in that - art
which lie practised with ao mueli uccess
