A body of friendly Indians have lately furprized a pay of the enemy, furrounded them, and made them all prifoners, to the number of 41, whom they have delivered up to Sir Wm, Johnstone. The accounts we have received of the maffacre of the Indians in Pennsylvania, appear, by a private letter from thence, to be not enough explain'd. If entire credit may be given ta this letter, the spirit of refentment that was manifefted on that occafion was not appealed by the death of the poor Indians, but threatens even the whole body of Quakers, their pro tectors, who, not manifefting a zealous inclination to carry on the war against the Savages,, are become equally obnoxious to the frontier inhabitants as the Indians themselves, by whom they are daily masacred. The danger to which thefe people are expofed from continual incurfions of the Savages, render them defperate, and unless fome means is contrived for their fecurity, it is feared they will attack the metropolis, and fhke the very foundations of the Philadelphi ans government fo firmly established in peace. 1 198 Lifts of Births, Marriages, and Deaths.
