Events from the year 1756 in Canada. ==Events== * France sends two battalions to Canada, with provisions, and 1,300,000 livres, in specie, which has the effect of depreciating the paper currency by 25 per cent. * March - A Canadien force of 300 captures Fort Bull, between Schenectady and Oswego, and puts the garrison to the sword. * May - Montcalm reaches Quebec with 1,400 soldiers. * The Canadiens, suffering from smallpox and famine, are burthened with the support of their Indian allies. * Saturday August 14 - Though opposed to attacking any British fort, Montcalm, at the head of 3,100 regulars, Canadiens and Indians, captures Fort Oswego, - a success attributable, mainly, to his intercepting a message to General Webb, commanding 2,000 men in the vicinity. Colonel Mercer is killed. The garrison (1,780) and about 100 women and children are taken prisoners. * The Marquis de Montcalm assumes a troubled command of French troops in North America.
