GOV. DONGAN's REPORT ON THE PROVINCE OF NEW-YORK.

Last spring he sent one De la Croa with fifty soldiers

@ one hundred young men of Canada to the

North West passage where as I am certainly informed from Canada they have taken three forts. About two years since there came a thousand men from France to Canada with the new Gov @ three hundred came the year after. But the most part of them as I hear are since dead the country proving We need not feare them soe long as the Indians continue to bee our friends @, the too cold for them. if can less we prevail with the Indians that are Christians to come from them to us, they being generally the youngest @ lustiest men. Last year there was a list brought into the new Gov of 17000 French Inhabitants in The number Canada. ° Canada, men women @ children of which 3000 fit to bear arms. It will be very necessary for us to encourage our young men to goe a Beaver hunting as the French doe.
