Reasons for distrust of these Indians; the fidelity of a great part of the SixNations depends on the number of the King's forces. The advantages of CarletonIsland forintercepting scouts. If 200 active soldiers were there, they would soon check the insolence of therebel Indians and unmask the Canadian Indians.
