JULY 30, 1759. On the 3oth of June, the Enemy landed 3000 Men at Point Levi, to oppose which Body, a Party of a hundred Savages only were detached from the Camp, who (i) skirmished with them for a few Hours, and then returned back, bringing with them about Thirty Scalps. Had a more considerable Force been ordered out upon this Service, sufficient to have brought on a serious Affair, and to have ended it to our Advantage it certainly had been more for the Interest of our Generals ; this indeed w...as proposed, but as it did not tally with the Plan of Defence agreed on, it was rejected and dropped : whatever was the Reason, the English did not fail to turn it to good Account ; and to avail themselves of our Inac tivity on this Occasion, which furnished them with an Opportunity to fortify themselves on this Side, and to erect Batteries which played briskly on the Town, and soon reduced it to ashes (2). They opened these Batteries on the i2th July in the Night, which never ceased firing from that time to the i8th of September f a Day famous for the Surrender of Quebec.
