The grenadiers of Louisbourg are to remain on the Isle of Orleans till farther orders; Lieutenant-Colonel Murray is to command in that island. The companies of grenadiers of the battalions in-camped at Montmorencie are to join their regiments, and those belonging to the regiments of Brigadier Monckton's corps are likewise to join their regiments; the Highlanders are to return to their camp, and Lawrence's grenadiers to join their regiment at Montmorencie. After this day the men are to begin work at fix in the morning, except on particular occasions, and continue till ten; then cease till two, or, perhaps, three o'clock, in case of excessive heat, and work till six or seven. The troops to receive provisions to-morrow, to the fifth inclusive, &c. &c." Some of the enemy's boats attempted to pass down to the ruins of our late armed transports, but, receiving a very uncivil salute from the battery eastward of the fall, as also from the Point of Orleans, they were obliged to sheer off. Two soldiers of the forty-third regiment were wounded in their camp by accident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
