Answer 1

Sorry I couldnt find any site that told anything about them even having a CANNON in Fort Dequesne.

Fort Duquesne was defended by 250 French soldiers and Canadian militia. Outside the fort were camped about 650 Native American allies from various tribes.

I have enclosed the link for the site that I got the info for the amount of soldiers.

Answer 2

At Fort Duquesne, the French garrison consisted of only about 250 regulars and Canadian militia, with about 640 Indian allies camped outside the fort.
