On the 1 8th of May, the present year, war was formally declared by Great Britain, and this declaration, soon after, reciprocated by a similar declaration on the part of France. In the plan of operations for the present year, Niagara and Crown Point, two strong holds of great importance, then in the possession of the enemy, were constituted the principal points of attack. " The plan for the campaign of this year had been settled in a council of colonial governors at New York. It was agreed to r...aise 10, 000 men for an expedition against Crown Point, 6000 for an expedition against Niagara, and 3000 for an expedition against fort du Q, uesne. In addition to this formidable force, and in aid of its operations, it was agreed FROM 1756 TO 1760. 153 that 2000 men should advance up the river Kennebeck, destroy the settlements on the Chaudiere, and, descending to the mouth of that river, within three miles of Quebec, keep all that part of Canada in alarm. To facilitate the reduction of Crown Point, it was proposed to take advantage of the season when the lake should be frozen over to seize Ticonderoga.
