HORATIO GATES.

By the above General Return, it will appear the numbers that were necessary for the defence of Ticonderoga last year. It should be observed that this was the exact state of the Army about twelve days before General Carleton landed at Crown Point.

H˙ G.

N˙ B˙ Dayton' s, (not in this Return,) Van Schaick' s, Van Dyck' s, Wynkoop' s, and half Mott' s, were upon the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers; Irvine' s at Crown Point, but, upon the enemy' s approach, withdrawn.
