P., Minister of Agriculture. Sir,—During the past year the work of the Archives Branch has been conducted, as far as possible, on the lines marked out in my report for 1904. The principal task which we have undertaken for the advancement of historical science, is.an investigation or critical examination of the archives of the Dominion, with a view of publishing a book of reference, or general guide, for the service of future enquirers. It would seem that little argument is requisite to prove that the first thing to be done in order to render the information contained in the mass of our records available to the public, is to let the public know what records exist and where they are to be found. Although our investigation, for the purpose of a guide, is at present limited to Canada, I hope that it will be merely the introduction to a work embracing the archives of the United States and Europe, in so far as they relate to this country. From the indications given in such books of reference, selections might be printed under the title of Materials for the History of Canada. In the present volume a summary is printed of the archives found on the Island of Orleans. A similar report has been prepared for many other parishes, but as the information to be derived from the whole Dominion is to be systematically arranged and printed, it is not desirable to give further details here. In the Province of Quebec the examination has been conducted under direction of the Rev. P. M. O'Leary, D.S.O., sometime Professor of History in Quebec. To facilitate the object we have in view, His Grace the Archibishop of Quebec has issued a letter to the clergy of his diocese, inviting them to co-operate in the work of the Branch by giving free access to their papers. In the winter months, when travelling was difficult, the Rev. Mr. O'Leary devoted his time to an examination of the archives of the Bishop's Palace. There is, of course, much work to be accomplished before the whole of the Province can be visited, but the value of what has already been done may be ascertained from the summaries here published. The plan we have adopted appears to meet with the approval of scholars and the custodians of records,. and. private inviduals have ex. pressed a desire that their collections should be calendared for the public service. Dr. James Hannay, F.R.S.C., the historian, has been engaged to investigate the Archives of the Maritime Provinces. He has already made several excellent reports on the papers he has examined, and he has also prepared a general report, which is here quoted,— " Having been selected by the Minister of Agriculture to examine into and report I on the Historical material in the Maritime Provinces, available for a History of Canada, " I proceeded to Halifax in the first week of July, 1905. I selected Nova Scotia as the I most proper field to begin my work because it is the mother colony of the Maritime Pro- | vinces, and also because its Archives have been better attended to than those of either " New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island. I The term Nova Scotia, is popularly held to be identical with the old French I Province of Acadia and for ordinary purposes this definition is correct enough, but a | reference to the original charters shows very great differences in their meaning and I the words Acadia and Nova Scotia have both represented very different areas of territory | in times past. vii VU! CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD Vil., A. 1906 Hi H r>P Monts in 1603 had no western boundary, « The Acadia whxch was granted to De M^n north ^^ K «but extended north and south from ^^^^^^3 \he New England States, «therefore included all the territory which now comprisM*ë T. STufl^r eSS^ani S^ 5 thirteenth centu^ did not «thatl^K « only meant the Peninsula of Nova Scotia south of the Misseguash River, lhe X rench « XSdïL claim at a later period by armed «™#^«£ ^«^^ « control the territory now called New Brunswick until after the fall of Quebec, lhe island ofCape Breton was not included in the Acadia surrendered by the Treaty of Jt''Nova Scotia, as granted to Sir William Alexander m 1621 had the St. Croix «River for its western boundary and extended as far north as the St Lawrence, so «that it included not only New Brunswick and Nova Scotia but also the Gaspé « Peninsula. After the capture of Port Royal in 1710, the Governor of Nova Scotia "claimed jurisdiction over all the territory east of the St. Croix and this river continued " to be the boundary of Nova Scotia until 1784 when the territory north of the Misseguash " was separated from it and became the Province of New Brunswick. " The Island of Cape Breton at the same time had a separate Government, but this " ceased in 1820 when it was united to Nova Scotia and since that time there has been " no change in the boundaries of Sir William Alexander's ancient colony. " As Nova Scotia was originally colonized by the French, then settled by a colony f of Scotchmen, again occupied by the French, then held by the English during the " Protectorate of Cromwell and the reign of Charles II for sixteen years—again restored " to the French and finally conquered by the English and ceded to them by treaty, it I follows as a matter of course that we must look to many sources for its history. It is " only in recent years that any progress has been made in elucidating that part of its " story which relates to the Scotch colony in Acadia, and much yet remains to be dis- " closed in regard to this interesting period. A great deal of what has been written " in regard to that early time is little better than guess work and most writers are I content to follow Charlevoix who wrote a full century after the Scotch had disappeared. " Yet some members of the Scotch colony undoubtedly mingled their blood with that "of the Acadians and became the founders of Acadian families which still exist in Nova I Scotia and New Brunswick. It is very desirable that further light should be shed I on the story of the Scotch colony. I Another period of Acadian history which is very obscure is that relating to the I contest between d'Aulnay Chàrnisay and de la Tour. We know something about the " contest between these two men but not enough to satisfy a reasonable curiosity. The I slightest study of the orders of the King in regard to these rivals will serve to show I that there must have been underlying causes which have not been disclosed to account "for the changes of policy with regard to them. These changes can hardly be under- " stood without a close study of the history of France between 1635 and 1650. This " period included the attainment by Richelieu of the summit of his power,its partial eclipse "andhis death m December 1642, the death of Louis XIII a few months later, the me of Mazarm to power and the regency of Anne of Austria. These changes of ^rulers involved many changes of policy and the internal peace of France was much disturbed so that we need not be surprised at the uncertain attitude of the Government with regard to the rival chiefs of Acadia. The characters both of la Tour and his wife have been aspersed by the writings of the Menou family, but their ex parte statements are hardly to be taken seriously. «1 ^U°^el Pw°d ? A1cadian Hstory whi<* ^ only just now becoming better known < Itv 1 re-SS £the connection of Sir Th°mas Temple with the Province. To make this clear it has been necessary to go not only to the English state papers, the REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST IX SESSIONAL PAPER No.. 18 I records of the Privy Council, but also to the Archives of Massachussetts. These "remarks are made for the purpose of illustrating the difficulties which lie in the way of I a thorough understanding of Acadian history and to show that he who' wishes to be I well informed upon it must not be content to merely study the material at his hand, | but must seek many distant fields for the purposes of research. ' | It is now more than half a century since the first step was taken in Nova Scotia I to collect and preserve the records of that Province. A commission was appointed by I the Government at the request of the Legislature for the purpose of effecting this I object and by great good fortune Mr. Thomas B. Akins was selected to do the work. g The zeal, industry and energy displayed by Mr. Akins could not have been surpassed, " and the result is a collection of records which, although no't complete, is a wonderful I result of the work of one man for a quarter of a century of his life. I As soon as I arrived at Halifax I placed myself in communication with Mr. Harry « Piers who has the custody of the Archives of the province and who is also the curator " of the Museum. I was received by hinl with the greatest courtesy and during the I whole period of my stay in Halifax I received from him every attention possible, for " which I wish to express my thanks. Indeed every person in an officiai position in " Nova Scotia that I met, from the Premier down, seemed anxious to favour my views | and to show me attention. As the Archives are kept in the Province, and the | Museum is the Burns Building, Mr. Piers, ' who has to remain in the' Museum I most of the day, is unable to give much of his time to the Archives. For that reason I the work of collection seems to have come to a standstill in Nova Scotia. But consider- " ing the unwillingness of the average legislature to expend money for such objects, 1 we ought to be thankful for what has already been accomplished. The room in which " most of the Archives are kept is a Committee room of the Legislative Council and | connected with it. It therefore does not belong exclusively to the keeper of the I Archives, so that he was unable to give me the right to work in' it as I wished, and for I several days my work was done in the Legislative Library, which is just opposite, and I into which the books were brought one by one. This arrangement, however, did not "last long. The Hon. M. H. Goudge, the President of the Legislative Council, came I into the Library one day and learning the work I was engaged in at once placed the S room at my disposal so that I was able to consult the Archives with much greater " convenience. In fact, during the months I was in Halifax, that room was practically | my own to be used night or day, and I availed myself to the fullest extent of the " privileges thus obtained, and spent nearly all my evenings in it. It was no small task " to go through about 500 large volumes of documents and obtain an idea of their I contents, but this had to be done to enable me to make a complete report. " The Archives of Nova Scotia may be divided into four classes—those that relate to | the French occupation of the country ; those Connected with the purely military occu- "pation of Annapolis from 1710 to 1749 ; the papers and documents subsequent to the | later date when Halifax became the capital of the Province, and the papers relating to "the Island of Cape Breton. There are only.three volumes of French documents in the | collection and these appear to have been obtained from Quebec about fifty years ago. I They are transcripts of the documents originally obtained from the Bureau of Marine "in Paris. The first of these volumes contains papers of the period between 1632 and 11699 ; the second, papers from 1700 to 1749 ; about half of them relate to events that "occured prior to the capture of Port Royal in 1710 ; the third volume contains papers "from 1614 to 1751 including the correspondence of the priests in Acadia with the 1 authorities of Quebec. It will be seen that these documents are very incomplete in I comparison with the mass of papers that have since been brought to light concerning I Acadia and which are now among the Archives at Ottawa. The most valuable docu- "ments are the letters of the Governors of Acadia between 1692 and 1710, the Diary of " Governor Yillebon and the correspondence of DesGoutin, Bonaventure and other offi- | cials with the Minister in Paris. "There are 24 volumes relating to the affairs in Nova Scotia between 1710 and " 1749. At that time there were no English settlements in the Province and the only « places that were held by the British were Annapolis and a small post at Canso. These CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 ! 24 volumes include letters to and from the Governors and Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia, letters to and from the Board of cil, etc., and appear to be quite complete. Commission books, Minutes of Uoun- "Thepape^ i Sot Leath ?£$£%£% tt^CoS oHh? inhabitants and since then has « fostltsTdeS and all tfe other papers relating to it are **^£ffi£*%l. • Scotia documents. There is a very interesting volu^,nu^^ ' Archives, which contains a register of the marriages, births and deaths of Port Royal and < vicinity rom the year 1702 to 1728. This volume has already been copied for the 'Archives of Canada. Much of the interest connected with it is due to the fact that 'autograph signatures of all the leading men of Acadia during the last year of the «French Government of Port Royal, BrouiUan, Subercase, Bonaventure, Pontif, < DesGoutins, Charles LaTour, St. Castine the younger, and many others are contained "| «The volumes which relate to the history of Nova Scotia from 1749 upwards num- < ber about 440 and are very complete. They comprise despatches from the Lords of < Trade and Plantations to the Governors of Nova Scotia in the early days of the colo- <• nies and from the Governors to the Lords of Trade and to the Secretary of State, Minutes \ of Council, miscellaneous documents on special subjects, public accounts, census returns ' and many other matters. About one hundred of these volumes were in the vaults of ' the Provincial Secretary when I went to Halifax, where, from want of sufficient room ' to examine them, they were not available, but at my request the Deputy Provincial Secre- ' tary, Mr. Mathers, had them removed to the shelves where the Archives are deposited, ' so that all the volumes relating to the history of Nova Scotia are now together, < with the exception of the original Minutes of Council. Copies of the latter down to ' the year 1810 are among the other Archives. " After examining the whole of the five hundred volumes of Archives in the Com- I mittee room of the Legislative Council, I turned my attention to the papers deposited ' in boxes in the attics of the Province building. These boxes are sixty-one in number ' and in their present condition are not readily accessible. They contain a great variety' ' of documents, a list of which will be found in my final report. It is to be regretted 'that they are not more readily available, but with the present limited accomodation' ' afforded by the Nova Scotia Province Building, there appears to be no remedy. Mr. ' Piers has succeeded in obtaining from the militaryauthorities 270 volumes of letter books, ' and order books relating to the garrison in Nova Scot» and IS ew Brunswick. Among ' these are 91 volumes of general orders issued at Halifax from 1783 to 1903 ; two ' volumes of general and garrison orders, 68 volumes of garrison orders issued between ' 1814 and 1903, 6 volumes of other orders, 16 volumes of general orders issued at ' Frederiction, and 6 volumes of district and garrison orders also issued at Frederiction, ' 2 volumes of memorandums, 18 volumes of general orders issued at Halifax, and District ' Orders at St. John ; 4 volumes of garrison orders issued at St. John and 1 volume of ' army medical correspondence. " A complete list of the contents of these 270 volumes will be found in my final ' report. J "These are but a portion of the military correspondence that was at one time in JNova Scotia. I understand that, many of the other volumes are now in the depart- Ef£, *«| ^chives at Ottawa. There are also in care of the Nova Scotia Archivist,' ( 332 Military Maps and plans connected with the fortifications and garrisons in Nova bcotia and New Brunswick, some of them of ancient date. A list of these will be- round in my report. "Having deposed of this collection I turned my attention to the Crown Land Oftce where all the grants issued in Nova Scotia were registered up to the 3 1854 Since then such grants have been recorded in the Office of the Registrar of Deeds of the County where the land granted is situated. These grant^ books are inperfect 'Teir£^lhZTlLTd f\°ffiCer " Charg6 °f ?hem> MriuTtin\sPaW ready to show them to those who have reason to consult them. Amon^ the other REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I Halifax establishments which I visited were, the offices of the Registrar of Deeds and S the Prothonotary, and the office of the Register of Probates; I made a complete list I of all the volumes in these offices. But perhaps the most notable collection of histor- I ical material is what is known as the Akins collection, which was gathered by the late I Mr. Akins, the Nova Scotian Archivist, in the course of his long life. This collection I is now the property of the Nova Scotian Historical Society and is kept in a room at | Dalhousie College, but at present it is not in such a condition as to be easily accessible. IA mere catalogue of this collection would fill a large volume, so that I contented my- | self with copying out that portion of it which more immediately relates to the three I Maritime Provinces and even this condensed catalogue would make a large pamphlet. I There are not many manuscripts, but almost every thing in the shape of a book I or pamphlet which relates to the history of the three provinces is to be found here. I There are also many newspaper files. The late Governor of Nova Scotia, Hon. Alfred I Jones, had made a large collection of portraits of persons connected with Nova Scotia I numbering 200 or more and these are kept at Government House. I made a list of | them for the benefit of persons who may wish to obtain copies of the portraits of our ■ I famous men. Mr. J. J. Stewart, editor of the Halifax Herald, has also a large collect- | ion of portraits and of pamphlets. There are also a considerable number of portraits " in the Province building and in the Provincial Museum. I In November I took a trip to Sydney and examined the Records of the Registry I Office there and likewise the Register of the Parish of St. George at Sydney which § contains the births, deaths and marriages beginning in 1785. St. George remained | the only parish in Cape Breton until 1828. This register is in the possession of the "Rector, the venerable Archdeacon Smith, D.D. The first record book ends in the "year 1805. This register is complete to the present day with the exception of the "baptisms from May 1849 to January 1852. While in Sydney I was fortunate enough I to have an opportunity to examine a valuable private collection that of the late Judge | Dodd. These were the papers of his grandfather, the first Chief Justice of Cape Breton, "who was a notable figure in the public life of that colony. A full account of the I contents of these papers will be found in my final report. As the season was not I favorable for travelling in Cape Breton, I returned to Halifax and on my way back I stopped off at Antigonish where I examined the books of the Office of the Register of "Deeds which begin in 1874. I also visited the College and made arrangements to I obtain a list of the records. " Among the valuable historical material in Halifax, are the files of the Acadian " Recorder newspaper from the year 1813 to the present time. This paper is still in " existence and the files are well preserved by the proprietor, Mr. Blackadar. There | are also numerous files of newspapers in the Legislative Library a full list of which S will be found in my report. I Among the most important records to be found in Halifax are those connected " with St. Paul's Church. This church was founded immediately after the settlement I of Halifax in 1749 and it was the only place of worship of the Church of England in I Halifax until the year 1827. It was for 92 years the garrison church for the army " and navy stationed in Halifax and the church itself has been the burial place of a " great many distinguished persons connected with the early history of Nova Scotia. " The books of the church contain a record of nearly twenty-three thousand baptisms, | ten thousand marriages, and sixteen thousand burials. There are thirty-six volumes " of records connected with the church forming one of the most complete and interesting- I series of books to be found in connection with the history of any province. When I " left Halifax to begin work in Fredericton, it was by no means because my researches- | there were completed, but I had examined and catalogued everything that was | immediately available and in sight, and the work that remained to be done there I required more research and a greater degree of patience, because it is impossible for a I mere sojourner in a strange city to obtain access to private documents and records " which might be made available for historicar purposes. To do this is a work of time " and I felt that for some time I would be better employed in examining into the " material in Fredericton in connection with the history of New Brunswick which CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 collections of private docu ments éspecia ■■^*^^to1lit^0è^B^lu*aa which it ^J»™*^ -r~ -ialiy , rf . « +1, A;at™-v of the two provinces can be fully told, to take an account of before the ^S'leiately avaUable m Halifax I went ; Having disposed of most of to Fredericton and addressed myself to the difficult task of examining the historical „™*~™ni ftn-o-prnment Unlike Nova Scotia, the i d<—t, in the S«!«g-*|g5S| ÏÏ^ïïL, attempt.to take ca're of rk not only included examining them but discovering their separate-province the history of New but as the French claimed that the j Province of New Brunsw] I its Archives, so that my won ' whereabouts. " Up to the year 1784 when it became a ' Brunswick is included in that of Nova Scotia, 'limits of Acadia as surrendered by the Treaty of Utrecht were confined to the Penm- ' sula of Nova Scotia, they continued to hold a more or less efficient possession of the ' territory of New Brunswick until the fall of Quebec. Therefore many of the records ' connected with the territory now known as New Brunswick are to be found m the ' French documents relating to Quebec and Cape Breton. It was to New Brunswick 'that many of the Acadian refugees fled after the expulsion of 1755, and more than ' 80,000 of their descendants live in the province to-day. "About half a century ago three volumes of French documents relating to the ' early history of the province were obtained from Quebec, being transcripts of docu- ' ments in the Bureau of Marine in Paris. Of these I have made a complete list or ' calendar. Since then hardly anything has been done in the way of preserving the ' Archives of the Province, some portions of which are allowed to remain in private ' hands for months and even years at a time. In 1902 and 1903 I made an index of • the Legislative papers of the Province from the meeting of the first Legislature in ' 1786 down to the year 1858. This index fills two large volumes and by means of it ' reference can be had to any papers between these dates. The papers themselves are ' kept in cabinets in a large vault, safe from fire and properly arranged. Previous to 1 this time a Mr. Miner had collected and -put in order a number of papers which were ' in the garrets of the Departmental Building and these, with the permission of the ' Government, I have brought down to a room, in the Parliament Building where they ' are accessible, and I have also made a list of them. These papers relate to the offices ' of the Provincial Secretary, Board of Works, and Surveyor General and many of them ' are of great importance. The papers of the Executive Council were also kept in the ' garret of the Provincial Secretary's office, but have been removed by the Clerk of the ' Executive Council to a more suitable location and are being properly catalogued. " These papers, of course, contain the inner history of the Province and supplement ' the minutes of the Executive Council, which in some cases are quite full and in others ' very meagre. The Legislative papers and the papers of the Executive Council must ' be read together for the purpose of reaching a proper understanding of the facts of any ' case which came before the House of Assembly. For instance at the first election ' which was held in 1785, in the city of St. John, there were two sets of candidates, the 'nominees of the more aristocratic element and' those of the democracy. As no legislative enactment fixing the qualifications of a voter was in existence, the Governor in 'Council dealt with that matter and gave a vote'to all persons who had resided for 1 three months in the province. At the close of the poll it was found that the Demo- cratic candidates had a large majority of the votes cast. A scrutiny was immediately | demanded and was held by the Sheriff, Mr. Oliver, who struck off 180 votes from each ^ ol the six men who had a majority of the votes cast and declared the nominees of the aristocratic element elected. As the men whose votes were objected to and struck off I been residents as long as the others, the whole affair looks like a high handed outrage, lhe defeated candidates petitioned the Legislature for redress but received 'h^JtL^1^ gTTQT bei^.raised that the7 should have objected to the proceed- < f£,1v,?

The sequel to this REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I extraordinary proceeding was singular enough. The Legislature, determined not to be I annoyed by any more petitions, passed an act making it a criminal offence to present | a petition asking for any change in the government or the settled order of things, I unless approved of by the Grand Jury at the Quarter Session or by three or more " magistrates. It would seem from this that election frauds are not a modern invention, " but flourished in full vigor in the eighteenth century and among a people whom we | have sometimes been taught to regard as examples to be followed. " With reference to my work in Fredericton, which is now practically completed, I " may say in a general way that I have made lists of all documents that I have been S able to reach and had them placed in such a position that they will be available for " the students of Canadian history. Nor am I without hope that the Provincial govern- " ment may at some not distant day establish a department of Archives and gather all | these precious documents together in some building where they will be safe from fire " and be properly cared for. " The work that remains to be done in the Maritime Provinces is to obtain a list of I the historical documents possessed by the Government of Prince Edward Island, and I to visit each county seat for the purpose of obtaining the details of the historical material I there. Add to this the discovery of documents in private hands, the examination of | Church registers and the copying of inscriptions on ancient tombs where they relate to | the leading incidents of a man's life and enough will have been said to show that there, | is still much work to be accomplished before our records will be complete." | An examination of the archives has been commenced in Western Canada by Mr. Laidlaw, a member of our staff, with the able assistance of Dr. Bain of the Toronto Public Library. It is desirable however, that more extensive operations should be con ducted in every part of the Dominion, because this enquiry has the effect of directing attention to the importance of preserving both public and private records. The number of historical enquirers is increasing ; and it may be that we are beginning to feel the influence of the activity manifest by the people of the United States in everything which concerns their history—a history which for many years runs parallel with our own. Or, possibly, we may trace the revival of interest in our midst to the more ample leisure many now enjoy as a result of the general prosperity of the country. To whatever cause we attribute the movement, it is. evident that there is a taste for a higher order of historical literature, and that scholars are turning their attention towards the construction of history on scientific principles. This is a most hopeful sign. But, before our students can reap the full advantage of the splendid heritage bequeathed to them by departed centuries, a great work has to be undertaken by the State, the magnitude of which is not at present realized. The volumes on our shelves, accessible to the public, are inadequate, either for the purposes of general history or of constitutional archaeology, not only in number, but in the nature of their contents. It has been our custom to pay little attention to documents that do not relate to matters within our present territorial limits. We cannot, however, treat Canada merely from the standpoint of the local historian. The scope of our research needs to be enlarged so as to bring together all the records illustrating every phase of our history. We find little in our Archives concerning the remarkable growth of the colonies, which at length provoked the jealousy of the two leading powers in Europe, and brought about the colonial struggle between England and France ; and yet this period is of absorbing interest, and it affected Our national development long before the history of the United States had a coherence of its own. It is true that the archives of various countries have been only partially explored on our behalf, even within the limitations I have mentioned.. There is, possibly, a CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 •cely commenced to work. Under the French find a long list of illustrious persons In the hands of the descend- still richer field in which we have scar régime and under the English domination, we whose careers were intimately bound up with Canada ants of many of these families there are priceless treasures which must find a place before we are in a position to offer to our students the material for a comprehensive history. Some progress has been made during the past year towards col- af this nature. A few months ago an examination was made by Mr. in Scotland, and over three thousand private papers action .in our c< lecting records of Biggar of the Selkirk coliec were found which throw a flood of fight on the state of Canadian society between 1810 and 1830 The Durham papers, which, no doubt, will prove of special value, have been placed at our disposal for transcription, and the present Earl of Durham has generously offered to present some original documents to the Archives Branch. Two other important collections, the Townshend and Chatham papers, have also been removed to the Public Record Office in London, in order that they may be examined by our representatives, and some originals were sent from the Archives of the Department of Finistère to Paris to facilitate our work. These are instances of what may be brought to light by research ; but the efforts that we are able to put forth in this direction are not in accordance with our requirements. To carry out an extensive scheme for the collection of Canadian archives would seem to be a noble and patriotic work, well worthy of the serious consideration of the Government and of the members of both Houses. The adoption of such a plan would involve an increased expenditure for a time, but the outlay would be trifling compared with the advantages, immediate and future, to be derived therefrom. I think therefore that it should be our desire and our duty to gather the material for the student which will enable him to trace the progress of the centuries ; to record the trials we have undergone and the triumphs we have achieved ; to bring out in relief the characters and passions which the ages have developed; to mark the institution of reforms and the exercise of energies, and to distinguish the opposing elements through which we have struggled towards political freedom. It may be argued that there is no undue haste for the acquisition of these records, since the sources may be available to us in years to come. We should not, however, overlook the fact that fire annually consumes countless records, and that many of them have already suffered from damp and other agencies. But the strongest plea that can be urged for immediate action is, that students in Canada are at a disadvantage when compared with the students of Europe or the United States. In England, from time to time, Select Committees of the House have been charged with an investigation of everything concerning the preservation and publication of archives. - After enquiries lasting for months, and taking the evidence of scholars and experts, the Committees have reported that the Public Records afford the. most pure and ample sources of history, the best evidence of the progress of civilization, of the growth of institutions, and of the manners and customs of the country. They have also urged the necessity of increasing the knowledge of archives, and of extending access to them As a result of these investigations, students have the privilege of consulting the magnificent series of State Papers published by authority, and also the exceedingly useful volumes published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission, to which additions are made annuafiy The publication of these, and similar papers', has led to the revision of much or the history of England. REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 In the course of an examination by a Select Committee of the British House of Commons many years ago, the chairman put the following question to a well known author, " Do you think that owing to those causes a work so inaccurate as Hume's , » History of England, would find the currency in the present day that it did at the " time it was published % " The answer given, was :—" I do not think it would. I wish I to speak with the highest respect of Robertson and Hume, two most eminent men. I | have heard that the demand for their works is much diminished, and I believe the fact " is so, but I think that it is to be ascribed, not to there being no demand for higher I historical literature, but to these authors not having gone to the best sources from I which historical truth was to be drawn : these sources were not opened to them, at | least not so open that they could easily consult them, and therefore I do not mean to I say, they are to be blamed. Hume, I have heard, was shown the stores in the State | paper Office, or some other of the great Record Offices after he had gained a great | reputation by the publication of his first volumes. He was in London, and about to " continue his work, but his time was limited ; he looked on the uncatalogued array of " manuscripts in despair and contented himself with those printed materials which were . I accessible." In most instances, I suppose, we derive our knowledge of the past through the medium of printed books ; but if the books were written with an imperfect knowledge of the facts, we are, of course, only imperfectly informed of what .hasgone before. It is no longer possible to leave research entirely in the hands of the individual, since this task has for a long time been accepted by great countries as the duty of the State. In France and the United States large series of papers are published annually which aid the cause of historical literature. The Provinical Governments have from time to time printed valuable collections of papers. In the Dominion Archives, to which students should naturally turn, we have only calendars, many of which refer to papers not yet transcribed. These volumes are undoubtedly useful, although the student has often to seek abroad for what he might reasonably suppose would be found in our custody. Our literary men, for the most part, are able to devote .only a portion of their time to building up a national literature, and the least that we -should do is to furnish them with documents of a public character. In the Archives building there are about four thousand volumes of manuscripts, originals and transcripts, and when the papers now deposited in various buildings are arranged, there will be probably ten thousand volumes. Of these ten thousand volumes there will not be possibly more than five hundred which relate exclusively to the French régime. In my previous report I have referred to what I consider the mistaken policy of expending large sums on the preparation of calendars abroad. The persons directing our copying in foreign countries are capable of determining what papers are of interest to Canada ; and moreover the calendars which we now possess of French documents, do not exhaust the papers of value to us, in the volumes from which they have been drawn. In calendars published twenty years ago papers have been referred to which have not yet been copied. When we have transcribed the whole of the documents, not selections, from any given collection relating to Canada, a summary can be prepared for publication much more expeditiously from fair copies here, than from the originals, which are often difficult to decipher. There is now an accumulation of documents to be copied in France, a large portion of which were calendared years ago. I therefore beg to suggest that means be provided to increase our work in this respect. In the city of Quebec, in Three Rivers CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 5 which should be transcribed. For one and in Montreal there are collections of pape: hundred and fifty years our history is French, and it is only reasonable that Enghsh and French students should seek the fullest information in the Dominion archives concerning this period. The seventeeth century is, indeed, the spring time of our history. It concerns an a*e when old world customs and institutions were transplanted to these shores; and since the proportion of our records concerning the English domination is so overwhelmingly large, I trust that special consideration may be given to my suggestions. By a systematic effort, and a liberal expenditure for one year, valuable additions might be made to our French Records. In the collection, preservation, and classification of archives we are achieving something beyond meeting the demands of historical inquirers. These records are of benefit to the whole community. In the administration of Justice ; in the determination of civil rights ; plans and papers from our archives are frequently indispensable. In a country of such vast proportions as Canada, it is not possible to render the accumulations of the Archives Department accessible to all those who are, or who might be interested in them. It is desirable, therefore, to bring some of the representative documents bearing on the more important periods and problems of our history, within the reach of the rapidly increasing number of both Canadians and others who are manifesting an interest in our history and institutions. The first volume prepared for this purpose contains documents relating to the Constitutional History of Canada, from the Cession to the Constitutional Act of 1791. The documents though arranged as nearly as possible in chronological order, may be classified under three groups. I. Purely formal or legal documents, such ,as terms of capitulation, treaties, proclamations, ordinances, and Imperial statutes, establishing or amending the constitution of the country. II. Documents expressing the wishes and aspirations of the inhabitants of the country as to their future government ; as also those discussing, shaping or setting forth the policy of Britain with reference to the government of Canada. These include petitions from the various classes and interests among' the inhabitants of the country, reports from Governors, and declarations of policy on thé part of the Home Government. III. Special Reports of an official nature, setting forth the actual condition of the country in its various interests, as a basis of information for those shaping the colonial policy and framing constitutional measures for the government of Canada. Several of the documents included are, of course, already in print, though not always in authentic form and some in such rare issues as to be found in only a few libraries. In all cases care has been taken to furnish accurate copies of the documents in their original form. Certain parts of some of the treaties, reports, &c, have only an indirect bearing on constitutional questions ; but it is considered advisable to give the documents in full, rather than to mar their completeness by presenting the essential portions only, in the form of extracts. These original sources, it is hoped, will furnish the more essential materials, not only for determining the actual constitution under which Canada was governed but for arriving at an independent judgment as to the various sources of interest and policy which gave to that constitution the shape which it actually took, as well as for estimât- REPORT OF THE ARUHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 " ! ing the validity and expediency of alternative proposals which were discarded in adopting the course which was ultimately followed. Foot-notes have been furnished as to necessary matters of facts connected with persons, places or events, and also giving references to further sources of information, but no attempt has been made to interpret any of the documents. The index which has been prepared, will, it is hoped, increase the value of this volume. My own contribution to this useful work is very slight, I have merely collected and collated the documents, prepared the index, and made suggestions as to the method of arrangement. The editing of the volume, the valuable introduction and the notes, are the work of Professor Adam Shortt, M.A., F.R.S.C., of Queen's University. The hearty co-operation accorded to the Archives Branch during the past year by scholars in the Dominion and the United States, will, I trust, extend to an organized co-operation in all parts where materials for history are to be found. There is evidently a desire for the exchange of information upon a reciprocal basis for the advancement of historical knowledge, and if this spirit is fostered, Canadian literature will benefit there by, and expense will be saved to the country. During my visit to the South and Mexico I found the authorities of the Universities and of Historical Societies, eager to give access to the Canadian records they possess, in return for information we may be able to offer them concerning their own special field of enquiry. The summary here printed has been prepared by the Rev. P. M. O'Leary. The report refers only to a small portion of the papers I met with during the short time I was able to devote to this work. It is sufficient, however, to warrant future excursions in search of records. For access to the Kaskaskia papers I am indebted to Professor Alvord, of Urbana. Records of Kaskaskia and of Cahokia have been found from time to time in different places, but a large portion was believed generally to have been lost. The story of the re-discovëry of these documents by Professor Alvord, is here given in his own' words, forming part of an address delivered before the Illinois, State Historical Society, a few months ago : " It is as an agent of the Illinois State Historical Library that I am here this ' morning to make a report, containing an announcement of interest and importance to ' students of the history of the Northwest, and particularly of that of Illinois. The ' Kaskaskia records long supposed to have been destroyed have been found. " Found is perhaps too strong a word, for they never were lost, but the tradition ' of their total destruction has been given such wide currency by Mr. E. G. Mason in ' his publications on « John Todd " and John Todd's Record Book," and so deservedly ' high has been the estimate placed on his historical statements, that for all practical ' purposes they were lost. « Last summer the trustees of the State Historical Library sent me into Southern j Illinois to spend a month searching for historical materials. Much of interest was [ found, but the recovery of these supposedly destroyed Kaskaskia papers was the most | unexpected and important find. Some information had reached me, before setting ' out, that my search in Chester would not be unrewarded, for I learned from several ' sources that record books and papers dating from the eighteenth century were in the ' office of the circuit clerk, and I cherished the hope that where some were, others ' might not be far off. I My task was far easier than I could have anticipated. After looking over three ' old French record books, which were in plain sight on the shelves, search was made ' for further papers. No occult science was required. On top of the cases in the cir- 'cuit clerk's office, behind a cornice which surmounts them, were found three large ' sacks and four paper packages full of old papers. Upon investigation half of them 18—B* CANADIAN ARCHIVES §T6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 « enclosures! not counted by tlfe committee, their ^^^^^^^'^ « Since the seat of government in Illinois was removed m 1772 by the tfritisn com «mandant from Fort de Chartres to Kaskaskia, at which time the archives were «removed, we have in this collection papers drawn up both at the fort and at Kaskas- " kia. From 1772 until th " thev were removed to Clio» « county. For many years the older papers, including the French ones, remained in the « drv goods boxes in which they had been-brought from Kaskaskia. They stood for « about ten years in an aisle of the court house and then were placed upon the landing "place of the staircase. Here they remained until about the year 1 the year 1848 these papers remained in the latter town, when Chester, that city having become the county seat of Randolph " deputy circuit clerk tied them in the packages and placed them where they were found " last summer. This disposal of the old French documents was soon forgotten, for when "Mr. Mason appeared in Chester the next year, he was informed that all had been " destroyed except the record book of John Todd, which, he says, was found in a recep- « tacle for fuel in the county clerk's office. " You will naturally be interested in learning what proportion of the old Kaskas- " kia records have been preserved. For making such an estimate there exists data of " two kinds, neither of which will give exact results, but which will yield us some idea " how great the loss has been. There is in " Record A" of the Recorder's office in Bslle- " ville a copy of a receipt given by the first territorial recorder of St. Clair County, 1 William St. Clair, to François Charbonneaux of the Virginia Court of Kaskaskia for " documents deposited by the latter in the archives of the recorder of the newly founded " territory. The receipt is dated at Kaskaskia, June 12, 1790. In it St. Clair describes « six record books all of them more or less mutilated and four bundles of papers entitled " "Papier.Terrier" and 1,308 bills of sale. " Unfortunately St. Clair limited himself to the external description of the record " books without describing their contents. At Chester there were found three registers, " but, since hard usage during the last century has left the books in a worse condition " than when delivered to the United States Government, I have been able to identify " only one among those described by St. Clair. Whether the other two are remains of " the books of his receipts I have no means of telling. Of the four bundles of " Papier " Terrier," which were lists of the land holdings on the royal domain drawn up in the "fourth decade of the eighteenth century, only a few sheets have been preserved. " Judging from the number of sales in the collection it is probable that very few have " been lost. " The second date made it possible to estimate the number of documents that Were " originally deposited in the archives of Illinois during the eighteenth century, from " which we may judge what proportion has been preserved. One of the books of record " found in Chester is a series of indices of notarial acts drawn up at different periods. "The earliest list is alphabetical and covers the years from 1720 to 1756 : but since, "many pages have been lost from the indices of the earliest notaries in Illinois, we "must base our estimate upon that of Barrois for the years 1737 to 1756, which has " been preserved in its entirety. He has indexed for these years 2,089 instruments, " either redacted by himself or deposited in his bureau by others. This gives an aver- "age of 106 a year. Since very few acts were drawn up in 1720 and 1721, I shall « reckon from the year 1722. If the average of 106 was maintained from 1722 to 1790 ' there were 7,208 notarial acts redacted during those years. "Two serious objections may be made to this estimate. The years from 1737 to ' 175b were the most prosperous in the history of the eighteenth century, so that such a ' high average for this kind of act could not have been maintained throughout the ' period. The second objection is that the index includes only notarial acts and leaves t out court records, depositions, papers drawn up by other officials, letters of instruction, official correspondence, etc. Possibly these two errors may approximately offset than the reverse. sach other, but I believe my total is too small, rather REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 ".Another part of the index is of somewhat different character, for it contains a " list of papers received by the clerk of the court, arranged by years. In this case the " clerk has not separated his duties as notary and clerk, so that the index includes « papers of all kinds. Only a few years of the record have been preserved ; but since g these represent different periods, we have data up on which to base an average. By "years the number of acts is : 1737, 180 acts; 1752, 105 acts ; 1758, 72 acts ; 1783, 1 85 acts ; 1794, 82 acts. This gives an average of 105 acts each year, which is only " one less than obtained from the other data. Since this number does not include the "official correspondence of commandants and judges, or military papers of any kind, or " all the documents drawn up by the numerous officials of the governments, we must con- " elude that our estimate is too low, and that the total number was over 8,000. Since " the papers discovered in Chester will not exceed 3,500, between 50 and 60 per cent, " of the Kaskaskia papers have been lost. " Although I have not as yet made a careful study of these papers, it impossible to " indicate their character. The great majority of them are notarial minutes of instru- « ments drawn up in Fort de Chartres or Kaskaskia. They are almost all in the French " language and follow the formulée of the French law. The royal French notary was a | far more important official than the notary public of English law, for his acts had all | the legal force of a judgment of an American Court. In all affairs of life he was as | frequently present as the parish priest. He, in fact, plays the counterpart in civil " life to that of the priest in ecclesiastical. Like the latter he participates in marriages " and is found almost as frequently at the side of the dying. His assistance is required | at the formation of partnerships, at the loan of money, at the return of the same, for " drawing up leases, at the settlement of estates, at the taking of inventories, at auctions, " at all contracts whether for the delivery of goods or for labour, and this last includes " apprenticeship. Thus his points of contact with the business and social communities, | in which he moved, were almost limitless, and his was one of the most familiar figures " in any French town or village. In the Kaskaskia collection are examples of almost " every kind of act redacted by these officials. " No great addition to the sum of our knowledge of Illinois history has been made 1 by the finding of hundreds of such documents as these. Relatively little is to be made "out of their tiresome repetition of 'Before the royal notary in the Illinois.' Still " they are not to be neglected for careful study will reveal much. Their information in " regard to family histories, to business methods, about the whole business and social " life of these Frenchmen is by no means small. I The notarial instruments, although the most numerous, are by no means the most " important. The palm must be given to the court records, whether in books or loose S papers. With the aid of these, and they are fortunately numerous, may be traced the " changing forms of government in this region as has never been done up to this time. " Among the papers are many petitions for justice and for the assignment of land dating " from all periods of the eighteenth century. Also depositions before various magist- " rates, reports of trials and the final executions of the decisions of the court are not ■" lacking. There are twenty pages of a record of the sessions of the court under the g French regime, very fragmentary in character, for so many pages have been lost. The ■"first record is of a Session in the year 1737, the last in 1765. For the English period i there is no similar document, for whatever court records had been spared by time were | carried years ago to the Wisconsin Historical Library. There is evidence that the | Virginia court founded by John Todd at Kaskaskia found difficulty in supplying its " clerk with blank books, for the records of the sessions of the court are found scattered 1 on loose sheets, and the blank pages of registers kept by previous clerks ; but there is I nothing among the Kaskaskia papers for the Virginia period comparable to the full | record of the Cahokia court preserved at Belleville. I Another class of papers corresponds to the books kept by our recorders. They 1 contain the registry of promissory notes, donations, agreements of all kinds, occasion- "ally an ordinance or proclamation, letters of instruction, and action taken by the com- I munity. For the French period there is a record book in which were kept the registry 1* »1* - CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 of the appointment of guardians for minors and of the renunciation of community of °oodby wiVeTor widows.

There are several letters from the Spanish commandant 'in St. Louis to the British commander and later to the Virginia Justices of the ' Peace. " The last class of documents can only be called miscellaneous. It is impossible to ' make any general statement in regard to their general character ; but some of them are ' the most interesting and valuable papers of the collection. 1 call your attention to ' the earliest election returns in the Northwest. It is the announcement of the election 'of two justices of the peace in May, 1779,.at Prairie du Rocher. Another is a com- 'bined voting list and ballot used in the election of 1781 at Kaskaskia. There were 16 ' candidates and 27 voters. There is also the paper containing the oath taken by the 'people of Vincennes on July the 24th, 1778, renouncing their allegiance to George the 'Third and taking oath to Virginia. 183 signed this paper, the great majority of them ' making their mark. A paper from the British period is perhaps the most interesting ' of all for it is a draft of a civil government for Illinois with certain popular elements. 'The paper has neither date, place nor signature, but evidently emanated from the ' military government about the year 1775. " From the description you see that the papers are for the most part private papers, ' such as contracts, deeds, etc., with a large number of court documents of all kinds and ' with a smaller number of documents issuing from the administrative" officers of the ' Government. To the layman such a collection might well appear as curious but hardly ' of much historical value. But the historian sees in them valuable monuments of the ' past, true remains of a past society. From these may be reconstructed the political, I ' social and economic structure of the community from which they have come. They ' ' are for him what the footprints and bones of extinct animals in the strata of the rocks ' are to the paleontologist. From the Kaskaskia papers, therefore, we may hope to ' follow the changing fate of these French settlements of the Mississippi valley year by ' year, as has never been done up to the present time. I Such are the Kaskaskia papers. Their recovery must be regarded as an import- ' ant event in the history of Illinois historical studies, since they throw light on every 'period of the eighteenth century. But their importance must not be exaggerated, 'interesting as they are as records of a romantic period of our past; for in reading the 'crabbed hand-writing of these earliest documents of the northwest, the historian can- ' not but feel that his enthusiasm is akin to that of the antiquarian, for from these ' French settlers did not spring the forces that have made Illinois one of the great ' states of our Union. Our true history begins with the coming of the Virginians, and |in«> tar as the Kaskaskia papers shed light on that event, they are of great historical value. Only incidentally are the events connected with the names of Boisbriant, D' Artaguiette and Delaloere Flancour of interest to the historian, his interest springing from the love of truth and accuracy and his desire to know exactly what did occur before the coming of the builders of the State ; but as soon as he reads in these papers the names of Thomas Brady, of John Edgar and of Shadrach Bond, he realizes that now he is studying live forces incarnated in the men who have assisted in the winning P«< REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST xxi SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 REPORT ON THE KASKASKIA., KAOKIA AND FORT DE CHARTRES PAPERS, PRESERVED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, URBANA, ILL.

In an appendix to this Calendar the full text of certain documents has been printed with the permission of Mr. Burton. This collection is of special local interest. It consists of originals and copies, letters, letter books, diaries, military orders and order books, Indian and French/leeds and contracts covering more than two centuries in the history of Michigan and the Lake Region. The Cadillac papers (1669-1745) are copied from the Archives in Paris and relate to affairs connected with the early history of Detroit, missions among the Indians, wars and English troubles, &c, &c These papers are now being published in the Michigan Historical and Pioneer Society's Transactions Vols. 33 and 34. The Montreal papers which are copied from the records of notaries and courts in Montreal from 1682-1804 are accounts of agreements made with soldiers, interpreters, traders and merchants to go into the land of the Indian, establishing trading posts and missions, strengthening those already there and later representing mercantile firms of Montreal and Detroit. Some of these papers relate to Cadillac. Next in importance and historical sequence are copies of the Records of St. Ann's Catholic Church, the first mission established in Detroit and still in existence and of the Church of the Assumption, a Huron Mission established on the Canadian side of the Detroit river. These records (20 vols.) cover the period from 1704 to 1842, sivins dates of baptisms, marriages and burials of French Catholics and converted Indians. Following these come the original letters, papers, &c, belonging to several of the oldest French and English families in this part of the country. Among these are the Askin papers, containing the correspondence of two generations, accounts of fur REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 trade, Indian troubles and land.dealings. John Askin was a resident of Sandwich township, Province of Ontario, a merchant and fur trader. He served in the British Army but was retired when the war of 1812 broke out. He proudly boasts in one of his letters that he has four sons, ten grandsons and three sons-in-law in actual service, but he does not say that some of them were on the American side. He married into one of the old French families at Detroit and his papers and diaries give a curious picture of French, English and American interests from the standpoint of an Englishman and British subject. Alexander Henry, the explorer, was a personal friend of his and they carried on a lively correspondence. He was closely related, in affairs of real estate, with Isaac Todd and James McGill, founder of McGill University, Montreal. Many prominent names appear in this collection : Arent Schuyler de Pëyster, Jonathan Schiefferlin, Wm. Dummer Powell, Arthur St. Clair, George Washington, James Wilkinson, William H. Harrison, Jos. Brant, the Indian, and Leisberger and Heckerwelder, Moravian Missionaries. The Williams papers contain interesting material on the war of 1812 and the Black Hawk War, both of which, together with the Askin papers on the War of 1812, have been published in the Michigan Pioneer Collection. John R. Williams was born in Detroit in 1782 and died in 1854. He prepared the first charter of the city and was its first Mayor. He was interested in military affairs, real estate, trade, &c, and held a social position among the first families. His papers are most valuable in connection with the industrial and social growth of Detroit, and among them are found such interesting names as Lewis Cass, Chas. J. Lanman, Charles Earned, Judge James and B. F. H. Witherell, Abraham Edwards, Austin E, Wing, Gabriel Richards, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, Solomon Van Rensselaer of N. Y, and Elias Boudinot. - The Woodbridge papers are the letters, law briefs, account books, &c of William Woodbridge, Governor of Michigan, 1840-41. They extend through his college days at Litchfield, «fee, his law career in Ohio where he was admitted to the bar in 1806, his appointment as secretary of the Territory of Michigan in 1814, up to the time of his death in 1861. He married Juliana Trumbull, daughter of Judge Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut, author of McFingal, and a number of Mr. Trumbull's papers and unpublished stories are also found in this collection. His accounts kept while collector of Customs, his papers while he was superintendent of Indian affairs are of interest and value to the student of the political growth of Michigan. His close association with Lewis Cass is shown by their extensive correspondence. Among these papers are found some of the most interesting letters in the whole collection, from William Hull, R. J. Meigs of the war of 1812, James Madison, James Monroe, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Gabriel Duval, Sam'l. P. Hildreth, Albert Gallatin, Gen. Nathaniel Greene, Harman Blenner- hasset and many others. The papers of James Abbott, first postmaster, of Detroit, of Ferdinard C. Rivard, of Denis and Theo. Campeau, a few scattered Beaubien, Godfroy Piquette and Bisselle papers give an interesting picture of the old French families and the early French church. A collection, mostly of law briefs, is that of Halmer H. Emmons and his partners A. Emmons, James A. Vandyke and Ebenezer Harrington. Mr. Emmons practiced law in Detroit from 1840 to 1877 and was appointed judge of the U. S. Circuit Court of Michigan in 1870. He was attorney for several railroads and settled a number of xxvi CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 interesting'real estate questions. These papers are of interest in studying the political questions of that period of Michigan history. The papers of Senator Jacob M. Howard who took an active part m the "Toledo War "and of Ross Wilkins, Federal Judge of the Territory of Michigan, are full of social and political interest between the dates 1832-1870. A copy of the Records of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Michigan, 1805- 1814 and minutes of the meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Corporation of the town of Detroit, 1803-1804, in the quant hand of Peter Audrain, Clerk of the Supreme Court of the Territory : copies of the Papers and Records of the Territory, North-west of the Ohio River, from 1790-1813 the originals of which are in Washington D.C., all are of great value in the study of the early political situation in the North-west.

REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST XX vu SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 <The 1 Montreal papers " 22 volumes 1682-1804. The far greater part of this collection is taken up with bills of lading, invoices, deeds of sale, of partnership and engagement, official appointments, and occasionally personal correspondence. They have not the value of the Cadillac papers, though they give one a good insight into the trading in the far west at that time. The Askin papers :—18 in 4 quarto Folios. They relate principally to matters of local interest, but contain a lot of private correspondence with people of distinction in Canada— James McGill, Todd, and others. A few documents here and there refer to Canadian matters, and so do quite a number of letters from his son Charles, serving during the war of 1812, in the operations along the frontier. These letters go into minute details of the several actions fought between the British and Americans, and are very interesting, gving, as they do, names of officers with their commands, numbers of troops engaged, killed, wounded, missing and prisoners taken on either side. Some of these letters have been published in the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Series. The papers of greater historical interest are found in the following volumes of the series : Vol. I. 1747-1790.

In this volume are quite a number of interesting letters from Mr. Askin's son Charles, who served in the British Army during the War of 1812. His experiences were confined to the operations on the frontier especially in the neighbourhood of Niagara. One letter dated Michillimakinac, July 19th., 1812. Minutely describes in a most interesting manner, the expedition agaihst the fort and its surrender. He places the British force as follows : "We left St. Joseph's on the 16th (July 1812) with 50 canoes, 10 warriors in each, 12 barges with 200 Canadians, 2 iron 6 pounders, 40 men of the 10th R.V. Batt. under command of Col. Roberts." His letter is very graphic. He vividly describes the attack on the fort and its capitulation by Capt. Hanks. Another letter from Chs. Askin dated Chippewa, Nov. 18th., 1812. Refers to the attempt of the Americans to capture the Royal George at Kingston, by the Onéida and from other boats. The attempt failed. He adds the " Enemy have about 7,000 regulars between Niagara and Buffalo. We have 6,000 to oppose them. Col. Miller taken at Detroit was exchanged for Capt. Dacres." Letter dated Mountain near Queenstown, Dec. 11th., 1812. Here he describes the bombardment of Fort Niagarjt by Ft. George—very long and interesting. Next the attack on Fort Erie by Gen. Smith and 7,000 Americans. The fort refused to surrender although garrisoned by only 1,500 men. Letter descriptive of the Battleof Queenstown heights, Oct. 16th., 1812. "Prisoners taken, 800, 65 of whom are officers. We killed and wounded, I think, about 200 more " <fcc, &c See Appendix for copy of'Extract. Henry, Alexander, Montreal, Oct. 8th., 1812.

About an hour before I left St. Joseph's with my detachment of Indians, composed of Ottawas and Chippewas, consisting of 280 men for the purpose of taking this place. We left St. Joseph's on the 16th at 10 o'clock A.M. with a fleet of 50 canoes 10 warriors in each, 12 barges with 200 Canadians, two iron six pounders and 40 men of the 10th R. V. Battalion, scaling ladders, ammunition, «fee, «fee. The element was propitious to our undertakings. Having the command of the left wing, I landed one hour before day break in the rear of the Island and formed at day break. The centre composed of the Canadians and veterans landed and formed, so did the Right wing. Our ordinance was landed and dragg'd with velosity (I) thro wocjds, sWamps, hills, and at 10 o'clock our six pounder was erected and placed on a rising ground which had the entire command of the Fort. The Right wing composed of 103 Sioux, Folavoines «fe Waynebegos commanded by Mr. Dixon was formed in order, mine was composed of Ottawas «fe Chippewas, and about 50 men, who joined me at my taking position as ordered by our worthy Capt'n Roberts. The Indians were like devils to storm the place, they even advanced in spite of all my exertions «fe of six or seven interpreters «fe volunteers near the Fort Pickets and would have killed Capt. Hanks (I was told) hadthey not been prevented, for he was within gun shot. At 10 o'clock a flag of truce was sent for the besieged to capitulate which they did, and at 11 o'clock the Fort was put in possession. Previous to the capitulation, Mr. Abbot Howard, Stone Jones «fe all the citizens of the U.S gave themselves up prisoners of war; the vessels in port were likewise given up. The commanding officer has since the capitulation given up all private property :—the officers and men to be sent down on parole until exchanged. The Fort is a beautiful place and what does honour to those who had the command, is that not a single person has been injured nor a single fowl killed, belonging to any person whatever. Happy thing for the Americans that they did not fire a shot, for, had they fired and wounded any person, not a soul would have been saved from the Hatchet. I assure you I never saw so determined a set of people ; they would not have spared man, woman or child. Johny was my right hand man and deserves credit for his exertions in preventing the Indians from committing improper acts. * To John Askin Esqr., Strabane. (From the Burton Collection) . 18—D* Jso.

" A tous ceux qui ces présentes verront, la compagnie des Indes Occi- " dentales, seigneur de ce pays, Salut :—Savoir faisons que pardevant Jean " Lasonde (dit Lecomte) notaire en la Jurisdiction de la ville de Québec, et " témoins soussignés, furent présents en leurs personnes, Charles D'Aille- " boust, Ecuier^ Sieur des Musseaux, tant en son nom comme héritier, que " ce faisant et portant pour les cohéritiers en cas qu'il s'en présente, en la " succession de defunct Messire Louis D'Ailleboust, Chevalier, seigneur de " Coulonges, cy devant Gouverneur et lieutenant général pour Sa Majesté en " toute l'étendue ' de ce païs, son oncle, d'une part. Et Dame Barbe de " Boulougne, veuve du dit défunct, en son nom, tant à cause de la commu- " nauté qui était entre le dit défunct et elle, que comme donataire mutuelle " en usufruit des biens du dit défunct." Résumé de la suite de ce document qui est très long. Le Sieur des Musseaux demande la moitié des biens laissés par son père et que partage en soit fait entre la dite Ve D'Ailleboust et lui. En qu'en ce faisant elle lui rende compte du fruits perçus depuis le décès du dit Sr. Louis D'Ailleboust. Il prétend qu'elle n'a pas fait faire d'inventaire après la mort de M. D'Ailleboust. Ce qui a été cause de la perte de certaines sommes dues à la communauté par les habitants du pays, qu'elle aura même laissé dépérir les bâtiments de Coulonge et d'Argentenaye, quoiqu'elle fut obligée à leur entretien. De plus il réclame un certain montant—sa paye— pendant trois ans, dans un camp volant que le Sieur D'Ailleboust avait mis sur pied. La veuve D'Ailleboust prétend que s'il y avait manqué de quelque formalité c'était dans l'appréhension de biens à elle laissés par son défunct mari, en vertu d'un acte notarié ('1652), qu'elle a toujours agi de bonne foi et même a appelé le Sr. de Musseau en son conseil, comme il appert par l'inventaire fait devant Paul de Chomedy, Sieur de Maisonneuve, et par la sentence rendue en conséquence, le dit Sr. des Musseaux étant présent et ayant signé au bas de la dite sentence.—Suit la sentence—que quant à ce qui a" été allégué qu'on avait laissé dépérir les bâtiments de Coulonge et d'Argentenaye, il ne fallait pas lui attribuer la faute, mais aux bâtiments mêmes— d'autant plus que les incursions continuelles des Iroquois obligèrent le dit défunct et la dite dame de les abandonner. Qu'en 1664, le 29 Oct., elle avait donné ordre de démolir le grand Logis de Coulonges pour en faire un petit à loger le fermier ; ce qui fut fait qu'à Argentenaye. Elle en fit autant, 1664, 3 Dec.

Lettre autographe datée de Chicagou le 1er Sept. 1683, lorsqu'il était sur le point de laisser le pays des Illinois pour la dernière fois pour rejoindre ses compagnons au fort St. Louis. A Chicagou le Ie' Sept. 1683. Messieurs,—Je vous aurais écrit à tous séparément si j'avais eu le papier pour le faire, afin de vous remercier de la fermeté que vous montre» en ce rencontre. Vous me connaissez assez pour vous persuader que j'en serai reconnaissant. Je vous promets qu'après que j'aurai dissipé comme je l'espère, le petit orage, vous en recevrez des marques effectives. Je vous donnerai pendant deux ans les marchandises à la moitié du prix que je les ai promises, et vous ferai tous les avantages que je pourrai pour cette année. Je m'en tiendrai à ce que je vous avais promis, étant obligé de les acheter bien cher, mais les marchandises vous n'en manquerez certainement pas. Rolland m'attend à Michillimakinac, avec une bonne cargaison, J'y emmène La.Fontaine, Laviolette, le Sieur d'Autray et les deux Chaouenons, que je renverrai de là pour vous en apporter. Je Tnettrai pour cela le tout pour le tout et quand je devrai acheter un congé (?) je vous en enverrai le printemps. En attendant mon de retour de France d'où vous devez vous promettre notre parfait établissement. Que rien ne vous étonne et ne vous pressez point d'acheter. Vous avez travaillé sous les ordres du Roy, vous I REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST lxi 8ESSI0NAL PAPER No. 18 vous êtes établis de bonne foi sans avoir contrevenu en rien à ses volontés. C'est le plus grand et le plus juste Prince du monde, de qui vous avez lieu d'attendre que les récompenses dues au courage que vous avez fait paraître dans la découverte et' l'établissement de ce poste. Il aura égard à l'obéissance que vous avez rendu à ses ordres dans le temps que tout le Canada lui désobéissait, et quand je lui aurai rendu compte des raisons que j'ai eues de m'établir où je suis, il verra bien que je n'ai pu, en cela, faire tort au Canada puisque tous les sauvages l'avaient abandonné longtemps avant et que ceux qui y demeurèrent n'y ont jamais été en traite. Travaillez donc sûrement puisque le gain de votre cause et de la mienne dépend de votre établissement. Soyez tous de grand cœur et s'il reste quelque chose à faire au fort, travaillez y comme à une chose (nécessaire à) vos véritables intérêts. Je sais de bonne part que toutes (ces contrariétés) s'en iront en fumée : même quand tout réussirait ici à mes ennemis, ce que je ne crois pas.' Je reviendrai par mer ce printemps et dès l'automne vous aurez des marchandises et vos besoins, et peut-être de quoi boire à ma santé. Ayant appris que Rolland m'a gardé un baril d'eau de vie vous devez juger par ce que je ferai cet automne de ce qui arrivera du printemps. Ainsi travaillez à de grands desseins d'où dépendra votre sûreté, (ils) vous serviront de garants. J'apprends que les corbeaux ou les étourneaux n'ont fait aucun dommage aux bléds des Pepikakias qui ont semé dans les campagnes, cela justifie bien la pensée que j'avais, qui y a passé me l'a dit. Vivez, je vous prie, en union ensemble et ayez pour Mons. Tonty la reconnaissance que mérité la générosité avec laquelle il prend mes intérêts et les vôtres. J'espère qu'il ne me sera pas nécessaire d'effectuer les offres qu'il vous fait, mais vous en avez toute l'obligation aussi bien que moi. Vous réussirez, si vous êtes bien unis et si vous suivez ses conseils et ses ordres. Vous voyez si j'avais raison de presser l'achèvement du Fort. Tous vos travaux seraient perdus si l'établissement n'était pas fait et je prévoyais bien ce qui est arrivé quand il nous a Il reste encore une chose qui nous est de grande conséquence, à quoi je vous prie de vous appliquer ; c'est d'amasser le plus de peaux de bœufs que vous pourrez. M. Boisrondit, les prendra pour deux castors les grandes et les petites pour un. Tuez-en et en faites tuer par les sauvages. Quelque droit que vous ayez, parlez toujours avec grand respect de Monsieur le Gouverneur, et soyez fort ponctuel à obéir à ses ordres, quand même il vous commanderait - de descendre ; quittez tout pour vous y rendre labàs mais auparavant faites un mémoire de l'état où vous laisserez les choses et le présenter à signer à celui qui vous apporterait ses ordres, puis à M. de Tohty et à tous vos confrères. Il ne faut pas faire un mémoire pour tous en commun parce que cela sent la cabale, mais un pour chacun en particulier et ne les présentez pas tous ensemble, mais l'un après l'autre. Enfin ne faites rien qui ressente le complot et la faction. Vous gagnerez en obéissant et Vous perdrez en murmurant. Je vous recommande aussi le respect pour M. le Chevalier de Baugy, et pour moi, la continuations de votre amitié, comme je n'oublierai jamais vos bons services, ni l'affection avec laquelle, ?np3 Je suis, Messieurs, Votre très humble et très affectueux serviteur, (Signé) Adressé : à Messieurs DE LaSALLE. et à tous les autres habitants du Fort St. Louis dans la Louisiane.

Note.—Mlle de Roybon d'AUonne, daughter of Jacques de Roybon d'AUonne, settled at Fort Frontenac when he first established himself there. Later her property was erected into a "fief". During a raid by the Iroquois everything was destroyed and she herself made prisoner. She was three years younger than La Salle and was hardly twenty-five when, though of a distinguished family and having means of her own, she elected to settle at Fort Frontenac.

Supplié humblement Demoiselle Madeleine de Roybon d'AUonne et vous remontre qu'ayant fait plusieurs dépenses considérables et employé tous ses soins à l'établissement premier du Fort Frontenac, M. de La Salle pour lors seigneur et gouverneur du dit lieu, en considération de ses peines et du grand établissement qu'elle avait fait lui accorda une terre de deux lieues de front sur une.de profondeur, en fief et seigneurie à prendre de la rivière de Tioneguinon vers l'anse au Baril, sur laquelle seigneurie elle a fait des travaux considérables ausri bien que sur quatre habitations qu'elle a acquises près du Fort qu'elle n'aurait point abandonnées sans la guerre des Iroquois, qui firent quitter les habitants de ces lieux là par leurs fréquentes incursions dans ces mêmes quartiers et emmenèrent la dite suppliante prisonnière, après avoir brûlé sa maison entièrement, ses bléds, bestiaux et marchandises. La compagnie ayant changé, et les fermes de ce païs ayant été données aux bourgeois et habitants d'iceluy, se sont emparé des biens appartenant à la succession du dit feu Sieur de la Salle, quoique Sa Majesté ne leur en avait accordé la possession qu'à condition qu'ils paieraient ses dettes, ce qu'ils n'ont pas fait ; En sorte que la dite demoiselle n'a point été satisfaite d'envirônt deux mille livres, dont elle avait produit l'obligation suivant l'intention de la cour et l'ordre de M. de Callières pour lors gouverneur Général. Depuis la paix faite, après avoir demandé de monter au Fort de Frontenac, elle s'était mise en chemin, dans la vue de continuer son établissement, ce dont elle fut détournée et arrêtée, luy ayant saisi les effets qu'elle portait avec elle, ce qui fut fait par Messieurs de la Compagnie qui se servirent de l'autorité de Monsieur le Gouverneur. Dans la crainte et juste appréhension ou elle est et par l'opposion présente, elle a recours à vous. Ainsi ce considéré, Monseigneur, ni les titres cy-joints concernant la terre en question, il vous plaise ordonner que les dits sieurs Directeurs comparaissent par devant vous pour dire les raisons qu'ils ont de s'opposer à son établissement au dit lieu de Tioneguinon et soient condamnés de remettre tout ce qu'ils ont fait saisir et se voir faire' defence de l'empêcher et la troubler en icelui et vous ferez justice.

Sa Majesté par son ordre du 1er Mars dernier ayant permis au Sieur Quéret, fils, de lever en ce pays, vingt hommes pour conduire quatre canots avec 10,000 livres de marchandises, achats de France, à l'établissement que le Sieur Crozat fait faire à Ouabaché, nous pour nous conformer à l'ordre de Sa Majesté et à ses intentions, nous permettons au dit Sieur Quéret, fils, de lever les dits vingt hommes pour Ouabaché, dont il nous donnera le noms avants son départ, ou à M. de Ramesay en notre absence. Mais comme l'intention de Sa Majesté est que l'on fasse la guerre aux Sauvages Renards et que tous ceux qui monteront en haut servent à cette guerre sous les ordres des officiers qui seront envoyés à cet effet à Michilimakinac, nous ordonnons au dit Sieur Quéret, et mt arrivé à Michilimakinac avec ses 4 canots, 20 hommes et 10,000 livres de marchandises, achat de France, de laisser les dites marchandises en entrepot au dit lieu de Michilimakinac jusqu'à ce que lui, et les vingt hommes qui seront avec lui aient servi à la guerre contre les Sauvages Renards, et qu'il n'y soit plus jugé nécessaire par les commandants ; attendu qu'il est également important à cette colonie et à celle de Louisianne que cette guerre qui empêche la communication qui doit être entre elles soit entièrement terminées. Et pour la plus grande certitude de la quantité de marchandises qui seront chargées sur les quatre canots du Sieur Quéret, nous ordonnons au dit Sieur Quéret avant son départ de nous fournir et à M. l'Intendant et en notre absence à M. de Ramesay une déclaration des marchandises qu'il désirera embarquer avec copie de la facture des dites marchandises pour en connaître le prix. Défendons au dit Sieur Quéret d'embarquer d'autres que celles qui lui seront permises, à peine de confiscation et d'autres procédés contre lui, en cas de contrevenue suivant la rigueur des ordonnances.

Le Conseil est instruit par les lettres de 1715 écrites par le Sieur de Ramesay de ce qui s'est passé jusqu'au mois de Novembre de cette année dernière.

CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 remis par le dit Sieur de Ramesay et cela, article par article. Mais comme la maladie qui le tient alitté ne lui permet pas d'entrer dans le détail de toutes les affaires au départ du vaisseau du Roy, le St-Françoia, il se réserve à le faire par les derniers vaisseaux, espérant être entièrement rétabli, avant leur départ. 1er Article. Colonie Anglaise. Le Sieur Hunter, gouverneur de la Nouvelle York semble par ses réponses au Sieur de Ramesay entrer dans les mêmes sentiments qu'a ce dernier sur le commerce respectif des Anglais et des Français,- ne le trouvant pas utile à aucune des deux nations. L'intervention des sauvages sera toujours cause que l'on ne pourra pas l'abolir entièrement. Les ordres donnés au Sieur de Vaudreuil sur ce commerce seront ponctuellement exécutés. Le Sieur de Ramesay a fait faire une confiscation de huit pièces d'ecarlatine qui étaient en dépôt chez les Iroquois du Sault St-Louis et qui appartenaient aux Anglais. L'adjudication a été faite et le tiers donné aux sauvages dépositaires pour ne point les aliéner. Plusieurs Anglais venus sous passeport ont été renvoyés immédiatement après leur arrivée, n'ayant couché qu'une nuit à Montréal, où ils ont été gardés à vue pour les empêcher de s'aboucher ni de commercer avec aucun Français et sauvage. Il est pourtant bien difficille s'il n'est absolument impossible d'empêcher que . les sauvages qu'aillent chercher de ces écarlatines chez les Anglais, parce que celles des Sieurs Neret et Guyot, outre qu'elles ne sont pas si belles, content aux sauvages quarante livres de castor par pièce plus cher que celles des Anglais. Nous vivons extérieurement fort bien avec les gouverneurs des colonies Anglaises. Le Marquis de Vaudreuil expliquera au Conseil dans les Articles qui regardent les Iroquois et autres nations sauvages quelques affaires secrètes, qui se sont passées ; mais que l'on doit espérer n'auront point de suite à moins que la guerre avec les Anglais ne vienne à recommencer.

Nous fûmes hiverner à la baie d'Hudson, où nous prismes le Fort Bourbon sur les Anglais 1695. Nous revimmes en France 1696. Je fus rembarqué pour enseigne sur le vaisseau du Roy Le Dragon commandé par M. de Sérigny ; nous retournâmes à la baie d'Hudson ou ayant trouvé quatre vaisseaux de guerre Anglais qui s'étaient emparé de l'embouchure de la rivière nous ne pûmes donner de secours au fort. M. de Sérigny me détacha dans son canot avec quatre hommes seulement ayant le vent bon. A la faveur de la nuit je passai à travers les ennemis qui me tirèrent nombre de coups de canon, n'osant pas me faire suivre par leur chaloupe, à cause de courants et de l'obscurité. Je me rendis dans le fort. Ayant ensuite été à bord des vaisseaux ennemis, leur porter la réponse à leur sommation, ma présence fut cause que nous fismes une capitulation telle que nous voulusmes, parceque sachant que je venais d'Europe, comme eux, ils crurent que votre vaisseau pouvoit avoir arrivé quelques semaines avant eux et donné au Fort les secours nécessaires, ce qui l'aurait rendu imprenable pour eux. Mais lors qu'après la reddition ils virent qu'il n'y avait dedans ni poudre, ni plomb, ni vivres, ils rompirent la capitulation et nous menèrent comme prisonniers de guerre. D'ore ayant porté nos plaintes au Roy Guillaume, on me fit passer à Londres avec le gouverneur du Fort qui ne savait ni lire ni écrire. Le reste de la garnison fut conduit à St. Malo. 1697.

Ce qui donna lieu au 8me Article du traité de Ryswick entre la France et l'Angleterre, tel qu'on peut le voir, et ils me renvoyèrent sous garde de mon huissier à Londres d'où je m'étais échappé. 1698. Sur la fin de l'année, je fus envoyé à Londres par ordre de la cour, pour donner à M. le comte de Tallard (?) et à M. le Marquis d'Her- bault les mémoires nécessaires tant au sujet de cette capitulation que pour l'estimation des effets y compris, qui n'étaient plus en nature conformément au traité de paix ; et encore pour leur donner les mémoires nécessaires sur les limites à mettre entre les deux nations à l'Acadie et à la Baie d'Hudson. 1700. Je revins en France, rapportant la valeur des effets accordée par la capitulation. La paix étant faite on lâcha tous les officiers neufs de la marine, et n'ayant point de bien, je pris le parti du commerce maritime en gros, permis au noble. 1705.

Beauharnois, Charles, Marquis de. Lettres Patentes de " la compagnie des Sioux ". Charles Marquis de Beauharnois, chevalier de l'ordre royal et militaire de St. Louis, Gouverneur et Lieut. Général pour le Roy en toute la Nouvelle France. Nous, en vertu des ordres à nous adressés par le mémoire du Roy, du 4 May 1726, concernant l'établissement d'un commandant et de deux missionnaires chez les Sioux pour satisfaire aux intentions de Sa Majesté, avons en la présence de M. de Longueuil, gouverneur de cette ville de Montréal, de M. d'Aigremont, commissaire ordonnateur, et de M- de la Corne, Lieutenant du Roy de la ville de Montréal, réglé et arrêté les articles d'engagements et demandes des soussignés intéressés dans la compagnie des Sioux de la manière et ainsi qu'il en suit, Savoir :— Art. I. Que le commerce de tout le pays des Sioux sera accordé et permis aux soussignés purement et simplement pour trois années entières et consécutives, exclusivement à tous autres quels qu'ils puissent être, en sorte qu'il ne soit permis à personne d'y aller ou * * * un ou plusieurs canots sans le consentement de la compagnie. Et si quelqu'un de quelque qualité on de condition qu'il puisse être y allait en commerce, qu'il sera permis et même enjoint à l'officier commandant de faire confisquer ses effets pour être distribués suivant les ordres que nous jugerons à propos de donner, et que la moitié des dites confiscations appartiendra à la compagnie. Que les dits intéressés ne pourront faire la traite n'y aller en chasse du coté de la pointe de Chay8amigon ailleurs que dans les pays de chasse où vont les Sioux Et que du coté de la Baie (des Puants) ils ne pourront pareillement aller que dans le pays de chasse des Sioux sans qu'il leur soit i permis de traiter dans l'Ouisconsing ni au portage par lequel ils doivent i passer, pour se rendre aux Sioux qui servira de borne aux uns et aux autres. Art. IL Qu'ils ne pourront bâtir de forts ni de maisons équivalentes dans les endroits de chasse, mais seulement, dans le lieu ou l'officier commandant fera son établissement. REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST lxxiii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Art. III. Qu'il sera permis aux dits intéressés de faire monter au dits pays ses Sioux dans les deux années suivantes, tel nombre de canots qu'ils jugeront à propos, si l'espérance de profit à faire dans le commerce devient plus grande, et pour les engager à augmenter le nombre des marchandises et des canots à y envoyer ; la part que chacun des associés a présentement augmentera à proportion de l'augmentation de tout le commerce en général ainsi, si le commerce qui est à présent de neuf canots, devient ensuite de douze, chacun pourra augmenter d'un quart au dessus de ce qu'il a eu en commerce. Art. IV. Qu'on leur accordera la préférence au bout de trois ans sur le plus haut et dernier enchérisseur, si ce commerce est donné au plus offrant ou si nous jugeons à propos d'en fixer nous-même le prix, qu'ils soient préférés à tous autres s'ils veulent accepter. Art. V. Qu'en cas qu'il soient arrêtés en chemin, dans le pays des Renards ou plus loin,- ou qu'étant arrivés au pays des Sioux, ils soient contraints cette année, par une force majeure de s'en revenir, il leur soit permis de traiter leur marchandises où bon leur semblera, sous les ordres de l'officier commandant qui aura le pouvoir de faire la destination d'un chacun de la manière qu'il jugera le plus convenable ou bien du service du Roy et de la colonie. Art. VI. Qu'il sera libi'e à ceux des dits Intéressés qui auront des raisons particulières et incommodités ou d'intérêts domestiques d'abandonner et de revenir avant les trois ans expirés, de telle sorte néanmoins qu'aucun d'eux ne puisse quitter le pays des Sioux, sans une permission expresse et par écrit de l'officier commandant. Art. VIL Qu'aucun des associés ne pourra céder sa part en tout ou en partie qu'à des personnes de bonnes moeurs, éloignées de tout scandale et incapables de mettre un obstacle à l'établissement de la Religion parmi ce grand nombre de peuples barbares, afin d'attirer la bénédiction de Dieu, sur leur personnes et sur leur commerce. Art. VIIT. Qu'il soit défendu à qui que ce soit des associés et de ceux qu'ils auront à leurs gages de s'éloigner du fort qui sera construit, soit pour revenir à Montréal, soit pour aller en quelqu'autres endroit, même pour aller à la chasse, sans une permission expresse de M. le commandant. Art. IX. Que les dits Associés s'obligent à laisser le printemps prochain dans le fort deux hommes par canot qui font dix-huit hommes, sans y comprendre les domestiques de Messieurs les officiers et des dits missionnaires, et qu'il puissent employer les autres à apporter leurs Pelleteries jusqu'à Montréal pour en rapporter des marchandises ; ce qui doit s'entendre également des deux dernières années. Art. X. Que quand ils quitteront le dit Poste il leur sera libre de vendre les maisons qu'ils auront fait construire pour eux et leur compte particulier. Et pour l'effet des demandes cy-dessus, les dits intéressés s'engagent. Art. I. A construire un fort de pieux, une chapelle, une maison pour l'officier commandant et une pour les missionnaires, le tout dans le lieu et . de la manière qu'il sera réglé par l'officier commandant, auquel ils promettent d'obéir et entendre en tout ce qu'il leur commandera pour l'avancement de la Religion, le bon ordre du Poste et le bien de la colonie. Art. IL Us s'engagent en outre à faire porter gratuitement d'ici au pays des Sioux ce qu'il leur sera donné, soit pour l'officier "commandant soit pour les missionnaires jusqu'à la pesanteur de six cents livres sur chaque canot, sçavolr trois cent livres pesant pour le commandant et autant pour les missionnaires, ce qui doit s'entendre de telle sorte que le canot qui portera l'officier commandant ne sera point compris, pour cette année seulement, dans le nombre de ceux qui s'obligent à porter les six cents livres pesant ; non plus que le canot qui mènera l'officier en second et les deux canots qui mèneront lxxiv CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1752 (?) 1753, Oct. 23. 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 les deux missionnaires avec leurs vivres, chapelle, lits, «fee, porteront chacun trois cents livres pesant. Art III. Les années suivantes, ils seront tenus absolument de faire- porter au dit pays des Sioux dans le fort construit et à la maison de l'officier commandant les rafraîchissements et autre choses nécessaire et utiles jusqu'à la pesanteur de treize cents cinquante livres par chacune des dites deux années, mais supposé que le commerce ne réussit pas, et qu'on ne peut faire descendre ici qu'un petit nombre de canots, en ce cas ils ne seront tenus de porter que mille livres pesant pour l'officier commandant. Art. IV. Ils s'engagent pareillement à faire porter de Montréal au dit pays des Sioux, jusqu'à la maison des missionaires ce qu'on leur donnera pour eux, chacune des deux années jusqu'à la pesanteur de mille livres, soit qu'il y ait beaucoup de canots à venir ici ou non. Art. V. Ils s'engagent en outre à acheter trois ou quatre canots de surplus quand ils seront arrivés à Michilimakinac pour passer plus facilement dans la Rivière des Renards, et dans celle du Ouisconseing et de charger sur ces canots six cent livres pesant pour les missionnaires et transporter les dits effets pesant six cent livres de Michilimakinac au dit pays des Sioux, sans y comprendre les sacs de blé d'Inde qu'ils s'engagent de porter pour la subsistance des dits missionnaires, non seulement cette première année mais les suivantes. Enfin on est convenu avec un des associés nommé François Campeau, qu'il aura la liberté de travailler de son métier de forgeron et armurier, pour tous ceux qui voudront l'employer en le payant. Moyennant quoi ; le dit Campeau s'engage à donner par chacune des dites trois années à la dite compagnie, la somme de quatre cent livres en pelleteries ou en argent monayé à son choix et de fournir outre cela gratuitement trente vices et autant de graines (?) De tous ce que dessus sont convenus tous les associés et ont consenti que si quelqu'un d'entre eux contrevenait à un seul des articles cy-dessus énoncés, il fut puni sévèrement et déchu de tous ses droits. Et lecture faite des articles de demande et d'engagement cy-dessus les dits associés dans la compagnie des Sioux, ont consenti d'exécuter tout ce qui est contenu et ont accepté et agrée toutes les charges, clauses et conditions y énoncées. A l'effet de quoi, ils ont tous signé avec nous et les dénommés cy-dessus. Fait à Montréal ce sixième Juîd, mil sept cent vingt sept.

Hull announces to the North Western Country that he has been compelled from a sense of duty to agree to the following articles of capitulation. 1. Fort Detroit with all the Troops, Regular as well as Militia will be immediately surrendered to the British Forces under the command of Major General Brock, and will be considered prisoners of war, without excepting such of the Militia of the Michigan Territory who have not joined the Army. 2. All public stores, arms and all public documents including every thing else of a public nature will be immediately given up. 3. Private property «fe persons of every description will be respected. 4. His Excellency Genl. Hull having expressed a desire that a deserter from the State of Ohio on the way to join his army, as well as one from Fort Detroit under the command of Col. McArthur should be included in the above stipulation, it's accordingly agreed to. It's however to be understood that such part of the Ohio Militia as hav'nt joined the Army, will be prevented to return home ; on condition of them not serving during the war ; their arms however will be delivered up, if belonging to the public. 5. The Garrison will march out at the hour of twelve o'clock, this day and the British forces will take possession of the fort. (signed) HULL, Brig. Genl. (From the Burton Collection of Mss.

Comicons—Report of the Lords of the Committee upon the Draughts of Commissions for the Governors of Quebec, East Florida, West Florida and the Granades. p. 113. Your Majesty having been pleased by Your Order in Council of the 5th of this Instant to referr unto this Committee a Representation from the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, setting forth, that in obedience to Your Majesty's Commands signified to them in a Letter from the late Earl of Egremont dated the 14th July, last, they have prepared Draughts of Commissions for the Honourable James Murray, Esq., to be Governor of Quebec, James Grant, Esq., to be Governor of East Florida, George Johnston, Esq., to be Governor of West Florida, and Robert Melvil, Esq., to be Governor of Grenada, Dominico and Tobago. That in the Description of the Governments of Quebec, East Florida, and West Florida, they have conformed to the Limits and Bounds which Your Majesty has been pleased to direct and approve, and as they conceived it to be Your Majesty's Royal Intention, that the Form and Constitution of Government in these new Colonies, should be as near as may be similar to what has been established in those Colonies, which are under Your Majesty's immediate Government, they have therefore prepared these Commissions accordingly, by which the Governors are im- power'd and directed so soon as the Circumstances of the Colonies will admit thereof, to summon and call General Assemblys of the Freeholders in their respective Governments in such manner as is practised in Your Majesty's other Colonies ; That they have omitted in these Commissions any Power that it may be necessary to grant to the Governors and Councils of Your Majesty's said new Colonies to make Temporary Regulations until Assemblys can be called, because they were of opinion that an immediate and publick Declaration of the intended permanent Constitution, and an Insertion in the first Commissions of the Power of calling Assemblys so soon as the Circumstances will admit, is expedient for Your Majesty's Service, and will give Confidence and Encouragement to such of Your Majesty's Subjects as shall incline to settle in Your said new Colonies, and because such Power of making temporary Regulations may be given in the General Instructions which they shall prepare and lay before Your Majesty with all possible Dispatch. That there are in the Commissions to the Governors of Your Majesty's other Colonies some clauses respecting the Power of suspending and comptrolling the Council, but as they conceive these matters may be more properly and regularly provided for in the Instructions under those Articles which direct the Nomination of the Council, ascertain their Authority and point out their Duty and Methods of Proceedings, they have therefore omitted these Clauses in the present Draughts in order to insert them in the Instructions." The Lords of the Committee in Obedience to your Majestys said Order of Reference this day took the said Representation and Draughts of Commissions into their Consideration, and are of opinion, that in order to make the said Commissions agreeable to the Instructions to REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST lxxix SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 p. 114. Committee Report upon the Draught of a Comicon for Montagu Wilmot, Esqr. to be Govr. be given to the said Governors the following Addition should be made to each ôf the said Commissions at the End of that Article whereby the said Governors are empowered to make Grants of Land—Viz : "Provided the same be made conformable to the Instructions here- " with delivered to you, or to such other Instructions as may hereafter " be sent to you under Our Signet and Sign Manual, or by Our Order * " in Our Privy Council."—And the Lords of the Committee having accordingly caused the said Addition to be made in each of the said Draughts do agree humbly to lay the same so amended before your Majesty for your Royal Approbation. Your Majesty having been pleased by your Order in Council of the 5th of this Instant to referr unto this Committee a Representation from the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations setting forth, " that in Obedience to your Majesty's Commands signified to them by a Letter from the Earl of Halifax, dated the 27th of last month they have prepared, and humbly lay before your Majesty, the Draught of a Commission appointing Montagu Wilmot Esqr. Governor of Nova Scotia, in which Draught they have so described the Northern and Eastern Limits of this Province, as to make it conformable to what has been already approved in respect to the Southern boundary of the Province of Quebec, and to comprehend the Islands of Cape Breton and St. Johns, that they have also made the River St. Croix the Boundary to the Westward, for although it be true that the ancient Limits of this Province, as it was possessed by France under the Treaties of Breda and Ryswick and ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht under the name of Acadia, did extend as far West as the River Pentagoet or Penobscot, yet as it appears to have been determined in the year 1732, upon a full examination of the claims of the Province of the Massachusets Bay, as well by the Attorney and Solliciter General, as by this Board, and finally by His Majesty in Council, that the said Province had a right of Jurisdiction and property under the Limitation of the Charter, to the Country between the RiVers Sagadehock and St. Croix and as in consequence of this Examination, the Instructions given to Colonel Dunbar, and to the Governor of Nova Scotia to make Settlements within that Tract were revoked, and it was Ordered that the Province should not be disturbed in the possession they claim to have of this Country it does not appear to them that this question is for the present open to a New Discussion : But as they conceive there are many material circumstances in favour of Your Majesty's Right to the Country as far Westward as the River Penobscot which were not stated in the Case laid before the Attorney and Solliciter General in 1732, upon which Case their Opinion and the Dicision of the Council were founded, they do not think it adviseable that this Restriction of the Western Bounds of Nova Scotia to the River St. Croix should pass without some reservation of Your Majesty's Right to the Country between that River and Penobscot, being entered upon the Council Books ; And they rather humbly proposed this to your Majesty, as it may be a means of hereafter removing any objection which may be taken on the part of the Province of Massachusets Bay to the Southern Line of Quebec, as far as it concerns their Northern Limits, for if such Objection should be made, and it should appear upon examination they have any just grounds of Complaint, it will be in Your Majesty's power to make them a reasonable Compensation, by allowing their Jurisdiction to extend as far Eastward as the River St. Croix, between which and the River Penobscot they have lately made some considerable Settlements. r- lxxx CANADIAN ARCHIVES p. 115. These boundaries are the same as those describedin Montagu Wilmot's Com. dated 21 Nov., 1763. 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 The Lords of the Committee in Obedience to your Majesty's said- Order of Reference this day took the said Representation and Draught of a Commission into their consideration, and being of opinion that your Majesty's Right to the country between the River St. Croix, and the River Penobscot (the ancient Limits of the said Province) ought to be reserved in a more public manner than by an entry in the Council Books, do therefore propose that the following alteration should be made in the said Draught of a Commission for that purpose. Vizt After the appointment of Montagu Wilmot to be Captain General and Governor in Chief in and over the Province of Nova Scotia, the description of the Boundarys of the said Province to be left out, and the following words inserted in lieu thereof: "Which we have thought " proper to restrain and comprise within the following limits. Vizt " to the Northward, Our said Province shall be bounded by the South- " ern Boundary of Our Province of Quebec as far as the Western ex- " tremity of the Bay des Chaleurs ; to the Eastward by the said Bay " and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to the Cape or Promontory called Cape " Breton in the Island of that Name including that Island, the Island " of St. Johns, and all other Islands within Six Leagues of the Coast ; " To the Southward by the Atlantic Ocean from the said Cape to Cape " Sable, including the Island of that name, and all other Islands with- "in forty Leagues of the Coast, with all the Rights, Members and Ap- " purtenances whatever thereunto belonging ; and to the westwara| " altho' Our said Province hath anciently extended, and doth of Right " extend as far as the River Pentagouet or Penobscot, it shall be " bounded by a line drawn from Cape Sable across the entrance "of the Bay of Fundy, to the mouth of the River St. Croix, " by the said River to its source, and by a line drawn due north from "thence to the Southern Boundary of Our Colony of Quebec?*' And their Lordships are further of opinion that it will be proper to make the following addition at the end of the Article empowering the said Governor to make Grants of Lands. Vizt " Provided the same be " made comformable to the Instructions herewith delivered to you, or "to such other Instructions as may hereafter be sent to you under " Our Signet and Sign Manual, or by Our Order in Our Privy Council." The Lords of the Committee have therefore caused the said alteration and Addition to be made in the said Draught of a Commission accordingly, and do agree humbly to lay the same before your Majesty for your Royal Approbation. p. 117.

(From the Public .Record Office, London.) "rV. REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST lxxxiil SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Since the publications of the earlier instructions to Governors in last year's report, there has been a public demand made in the press for copies of the whole series of Instructions to the date of Confederation. A second part is therefore published this year from the text of the original documents recently acquired by the Archives Branch. The Journal and Census of Ile Royale, made by the Sieur La Roque in 1752, arid the small plan accompanying it, are of, special interest to the Maritime Provinces. To this is added the Journal of Le Formidable and the Journal of L'Inflexible in 1757, for which the Department is indebted to M. de la Rogerie, of Quimper. The Imperial Orders in Council, and the documents concerning the distribution of lands in Prince Edward Island, here printed, are from the original papers transferred to the Archives Branch by Lord Minto. They are of considerable importance for the early history of the Island, and I believe it would be advisable to make further selections. At the present time there are numerous enquiries for a plan of Toronto showing the position of the fortifications. The facsimile of the original plan of York in 1823, prepared for this volume, will no doubt serve a useful purpose. Through the kind offices of M. de la Rogerie and of M. René de Kerallain, we have been furnished with copies of an interesting series of letters of M. Dumas and the Marquis de Vaudreuil, relating to events immediately preceding the operations of Levis and Murray in 1760. A facsimile of the original plan of the battle qt Ste. Fey, signed by the chief engineer of the British Army in the Campaign of 1759-60, has been prepared to follow the letters. The summary of French documents, printed in the present volume, has been arranged from the notes received from the family of the late M. Richard. This completes the work undertaken by M. Richard in Paris. It should be observed that the documente included in this summary, and in that of last year, have not yet been transcribed ; and owing to the accumulation of material in France it will be many years befor» the work is complete. If the appropriation for copying is increased, Mr. Tantet will be authorized to employ more copyists. Since this report was written I have received a copy of the genealogy of the families of Beauce, and it is therefore included in this volume. As a part of the report for this year, I h»ye printed a collection of preCartier documents discovered by Mr. Biggar, before his connection with this Department. These will prove of special interest to scholars engaged in the history of the early voyages to Our shores. The Archives Branch has profited by the excellent work of Mr. Biggar, both in connection with research, in the examination of family papers to which we have directed his attention, and in the supervision of the transcripts made in the Public Record office, in the General Post Office and in the head office of the Hudson's Bay Company. For the last ten years Mr. Biggar has been engaged in independent research in the Archives of France, of Italy and of Spain ; he has become thoroughly familiar with the methods employed in different countries, and he has a personal acquaintance with the custodians of the records in most instances. Few men are better qualified for the requirements of the service than he, either as a scholar or as a linguist. With the hearty cooperation of scholars interested in the advancement of historical science, work abroad is much easier than formerly, and with the assistance of Mr. Tantet, no other appointment in Europe is necessary or desirable, at the moment. Our most pressing need is in connection with the copying of documents which are constantly brought to light. 18—4 îxxxiv CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 If effect is given to the plan which Ihave suggested, of searching for documents in the hands of the descendants of prominent officials connected with the early history of Canada, I think it would be advisable to entrust the work to Mr. Biggar. Amongst the original papers transferred to the Archives branch by His Excellency the Governor General, in October, 1904, there is a series of despatches, orders in council, and letters concerning Prince Edward Island, British Columbia and Manitoba, besides the Upper and Lower Canada papers, of which we had already copies. As soon as the records can be examined after their removal to the new building a complete catalogue will be prepared. In the meantime a list of the volumes is given.

The ultimate object of gathering this information, I believe, is for the publication of a genealogical dictionary. So far as I can ascertain, however, it will be impossible to prepare even a reasonably complete dictionary in alphabetical order, for many years. Our research in Europe and the United States during the last twelve months has brought to light a number of registers which are indispensable to Mr. Gaudet ; but there are a great many gaps to be filled before any final arrangement can be made. It would appear that a systematic search should be instituted in several districts in *he United States, especially in the State of Louisiana, where much information is to be gleaned. For the present volume Mr. Gaudet has prepared the genealogies of three Acadian families, and it is his desire to supplement his work each year by the publication of the genealogies of other families, as they may be completed. If the work is finally to assume the form of an alphabetical dictionary, the matter now printed, and thé annual additions, would have to be reset for the complete work. Owing to the publication of this additional matter and the variety of the information, I have found it more convenient to issue the report in three parts. I have no desire to establish a precedent for the annual publication of three volumes ; but owing to the fact that in the year 1902 and also in 1903 the report of the department was limited to a list of books and pamphlets, it was necessary to increase the size this year to maintain the average of the series. The three volumes of the report for this year are presented to the House in English, and consequently at least a year will elapse b«3fone they can be published in French. Last year, as there ftas only one volume, it was published first in French and the English version was issued six months later. I think therefore in the interest of our students both French and English that it would be advisable to present the report alternately in French and in English, so that there would be no cause for complaint on the part of those who are only familiar with one language. If the plan that I have suggested is carried out, the report of next year will include a selection of the Selkirk, Durham, and Bagot papers—These are exceedingly instructive, and I believe it would prove more useful and economical to print the full text of the documents, than to publish a sîirnmary of them. In the new Archives Building ample space is provided for conveniently arranging the collections of papers that are at present deposited in numerous buildings in the city» The task of classifying so large a mass of records cannot be accomplished within a reasonable time without a temporary increase of our staff. As there is à demand for a number of records which are at the moment inaccessible, I beg to suggest that a staff be engaged sufficient to establish order as early as possible. REPORT OF THE ARCHIVIST lxxxvii . 'SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Numerous persons interested in research, particularly students and teachers, have expressed regret that they are debarred from access to the archives on account of their occupation, which does not permit them to visit the building during the usual office hours. I therefore think that a useful purpose would be served .if the office were open until eight or nine o'clock at least one evening in the week during the winter months. Considerable progress has been made with the card index of the volumes on our shelves, and a complete catalogue has been prepared of all the printed books which now form a valuable collection of historical works. Documents are now being copied in New Orleans under the direction of Mr. William Beer, of the Howard Memorial, to whom the department is particularly indebted for the facilities he offered to me in the course of my investigations. Arrangements have been made whereby copies of all Canadian documents found in the Mexican Archives will be calendared for our use, but it will be some time before a complete report can be made of these archives, in so far as they concern Canada, or of the other voluminous collections in the South. In the meantime I desire to acknowledge the services rendered to the Department by the Hon. Justice Breaux, of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, Judge Douglas of St. Louis, Principal James, and Professor Alvord of the University of Illinois, Professor Fortier and the Members of the Louisiana Historical Society, the Council of the Chicago Historical Society, and the Librarian, Miss Mclllvaine, for the resolution passed by the Society authorizing the preparation of the calendar here printed ; to Mr. C. M. Burton, for the many occasions on which he has permitted his collection to be examined on our behalf, and to Professor Jameson, Professor Justin Smith and Professor Garrison. I also desire to acknowledge the generous aid which has been given to the archives by the Government, and to express my thanks to the Deputy Minister and the officers of the Department, as well as to the members of the staff for their hearty cooperation in the work which is being carried out by this Branch. Last year I made a suggestion regarding the publication of a documentary history of Canada and as the suggestion has met with the approval of a large number of students, I reprint a passage from my report of 1904. I There are many students in each Province of the Dominion who are engaged in " independent research ; men who have kept in touch more or less with the work done "by my predecessor, and by others in a smaller way. Each must have felt the need of '' a national history, based upon the most ample documentary evidence. The inaugur- I ation.of a work of this nature by the Universities, with the co-operation of the I Government, might possibly commend itself as a fitting movement to mark the passing I in 1908, of the third century of the birth of Canada, What we need at present are I facilities which will permit the location and collection of documents now scattered "throughout the Dominion and in foreign lands. These records would enable the | student to prepare exhaustive monographs ; and when we have gathered the stones | Canada will not be wanting in master craftsmen capable of hewing them into shape I and of giving them artistic form—of converting them into a history worthy of the I Canadian people and of their splendid heritage." There are several questions affecting the archives, which require a larger experience than I possess. It appears to me that legislation is necessary in some instances, or that regulations should be in force concerning the care and custody of collections of papers. So far as \ have been able to ascertain there is no provision made for the transference Ix* /.

The*disposal by individuals ,cf records that may be of service to the country : the neccuwity of custodians of papers reporting to the Government when their buildings do not afford suitable protection j the selection of documents for publication j question* of translation ; the purchase of documents ; the co-operation of institutions engaged in research in otlier countries and the distribution of information, are matters- which I think might be entrusted to an honorary advisory board, having the functions of an Historical Manuscripts Commission.

That each different matter be provided for by a different Law, without including in one and the same Act such Things as have no proper Relation to each other. That no Clause be inserted in any Act or Ordinance which shall be foreign to what the Title of it imports, and that no perpetual Clause be part of any temporary Laws. That no Law or ordinance whatever be suspended, altered, continued, revived, or repealed by general Words ; but that the Title and date of such Law or Ordinance be particularly mentioned in the enacting part. That in case any Law or ordinance respecting private Property, shall be passed without a saving of the right of Us, Our Heirs and Successors and of all Persons or Bodies Politic or Corporate ; except such as are mentioned in the said Law or Ordinance, You shall declare that you withold Our Assent from the same ; and if any such Law or Ordinance shall be passed without such Saving you shall in every such Case declare that you reserve the same^ for the signification of Our Royal Pleasure thereon.

That all Laws assented to by you in Our name, or reserved for the Signification of Our Pleasure thereon, shall, when transmitted by you, be fairly abstracted in the Margins, and accompanied with very full and particular Observations upon each of them, that is to say, whether the same is introductory to a New Law, declaratory of a former Law, or does repeal a Law then before in being ; And you are also to transmit in the fullest manner the Reasons r-nd occasion for proposing such Laws, together with fair copies of the Journals and Minutes of the Proceedings of the said Legislative Council and Assembly, which you are to require from the Clerks or other proper Officers in that behalf, of the said Legislative Council and Assembly. 15. And Whereas in the said Act it is provided that in certain Cases, Acts passed by the Legislative Council and Assembly of the Province, shall previous to any Signification of Our assent thereto, be laid before both Houses of Our Parliament of Great Britain ; And Whereas it is also provided in the said Act, that in certain Cases Provision may be made by Acts of the Legislative Council and Assembly of the Province assented to by Us, Our Heirs or Successors (thereby reserving the power of giving such Assent to Us, Our Heirs, or Successors oniy) you are to take special Care, that in every such Case you are to declare that you reserve such Bills for the Signification of Our Pleasure thereon ; And you will likewise reserve for such signification every other Bill which you shall consider to be of an extraordinary or unusual Nature, or requiring Our special consideration and decision thereupon, particularly such as may affect the Property, Credit, or dealings of such of Our Subjects as are not usually resident within the said Province, or whereby duties shall be laid upon British or Irish Shipping, or upon the Product or manufactures of Great Britain or Ireland. 16 And Whereas Laws have formerly been enacted in several of Our Plantations in America, for so short a time, that Our Royal Assent or Refusal thereof could not be had before the time for which such Laws were enacted did expire, You shall not assent in Our name to any Law that shall be enacted for a less time than two years, except in Cases of imminent necessity, or immediate temporary expediency ; and you shall not declare Our assent to any Law containing Provisions which shall have been disallowed by Us, without express Leave for that, purpose first obtained from Us, upon a full representation by you to be made to Us by one of our principal Secretaries of State, of the reasons and necessity for passing such Law. 17. Whereas We have thought fit by Our Orders in Our Privy Council to disallow certain Laws passed in some of Our Colonies and Plantations in America, for confirming the Privileges of Naturalization on Persons being Aliens, and for divorcing Persons who have been legally joined together in Holy Marriage—And Whereas Acts have been passed in others of Our said Colonies, to enable Persons who are Our liege Subjects by Birth or Naturalization, to hold and inherit Lands, Tenements, and Real Estates, altho' such Lands, Tenements, and real Estates had been originally granted to, or purchased by Aliens antecedent to Naturalization—It is Our Will and Pleasure, that you do not upon any pretence whatsoever give your Assent to any Bill or Bills that may hereafter be passed by the Legislative Council and Assembly of the Province under your Government for the Naturalization of Aliens, nor for the Divorce of Per- CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 a Title in any Lands, ;ranted to, or purchased sons joined together in Holy Marriage nor for establishing Tenements and real Estates in Our said Province originally by Alien3 antecedent to Naturalization. 18.

Whereas by an Act of Our Parliament of Great Britain passed in the fourth year of Our Reign, intituled " An Act to prevent Paper Bills of Credit here- " after to be issued in any of His Majesty's Colonies or Plantations in America, from | being declared to be a legal Tender in payments of Money, and to prevent the legal " Tender of such Bills as are now subsisting, from being prolonged beyond the Periods | limited for calling in and sinking the same," it is enacted that no Paper Bills or Bills of Credit should be created or issued by any Act, Order, Resolution, or Vote of Assembly in any of Our Colonies or Plantations in America, to be a legal tender in payment, and that any such Act, Order, Resolution or Vote for creating or issuing such Paper Bills or Bills of Credit, or for prolonging the legal tender of any such then subsisting and current in any of the said colonies or Plantations, should be null and void—And Whereas by another Act of our said Parliament passed in the Thirteenth Year of Our Reign, intituled, "An Act to explain and amend the above recited Act " passed in the Fourth year of Our Reign as aforesaid " it is enacted that any Certificates, Notes, Bills, or Debentures, which shall or may be voluntarily accepted by the Creditors of the Public within any of the Colonies in America as a riecurity for the Payment of what is due and owing to the said Public Creditors, may be made and enacted by the General Assemblies of the said Colonies respectively to be a tender to the Public Treasurers in the said Colonies, for the Discharge of any Duties, Taxes, or other Debts whatever due to, and payable at or in the said Public Treasuries of the said .Colonies, in virtue of Laws passed within the same, and in no other Case Whatsoever—It is Our Will and Pleasure that you do in all things conform yourself to the Provisions of the said Recited Acts both with respect to the not assenting to any Bills which may be presented to you for the purpose of issuing or creating Paper Bills or Bills of Credit, to be a legal Tender in payment, and the assenting to any Bills by which certificates, Notes or Debentures which may be voluntarily accepted in payment by the Public Creditors shall be made a legal Tender to the Treasury for Taxes, Duties, and other Payments to the Public Treasury. 20. You shall not remit any Fines or Forfeitures whatsoever above the Sum of Ten Pounds, nor dispose of any Forfeitures whatsoever, until upon signifying unto the Commissioners of Our Treasury or Our High Treasurer for the time being, the nature of the Offence, and the occasion of such Fines and Forfeitures, with the particular Sums or Value thereof (which you are to do with all Speed) you shall have received Our Directions thereon, but you may in the meantime suspend the payment of the said Fines and Forfeitures. 21. And you are on every occasion to transmit to Us by one of Our principal Secretaries of State with all convenient Speed, a particular Account of all New Establishments of Jurisdictions, Courts, Offices and Officers, Powers, Authorities, Fees, and Privileges granted and settled within Our said Province of Lower Canada ; as likewise an Accourt of all the Expenses (if any) attending the Establishment of the said Courts and Offices. INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 22. It is Our further Will and Pleasure that all Commissions to be granted by you to any Person or Persons, to be Judge, Justice of the Peace, or other necessary Offices be granted during Pleasure only. 23. You are not to suspend any of the Membersof Our said Executive Council, or to suspend or displace any of the Judges, Justices, Sheriffs, or other Officers or Ministers within Our said Province of Lower Canada without good and sufficient Cause, and in case of such Suspension or Removal, you are forthwith to transmit your reasons for the same to one of Our Principal Secretaries of State. 24. And Whereas frequent complaints have been made of great delays and undue proceedings in the Courts of Justice in several of Our Plantations, whereby many of Our good Subjects have very much suffered, and it being of the greatest Importance to Our Service, and to the Welfare of Our Plantations that Justice be everywhere speedily and duly administered, and that all disorders, delays, and other undue practices in the administration thereof be effectually prevented ; We do particularly require you to take especial Care that in all Courts where you are authorized to preside, Justice be impartially administered ; and that in all other Courts established within Our said Province, all Judges and other Persons therein concerned do likewise perform their several duties without delay or partiality. 25. You are to take care that no Court of Judicature be adjourned but upon good Grounds, as also that no orders of any Court of Judicature be entered or allowed which shall not be first read and approved of by the Justices in open Court, which Rule you are in like manner to see observed with relation to all Proceedings of Our Executive Council of Lower Canada, and that all orders there made, be first read and approved in such Council before they are entered upon the Council Books. 26. You are to take Care that all Writs within Our said Province of Lower Canada be issued in Our Name. 27. You shall take care with the Advice and Assistance of our Executive Council, that such Prisons, as may at any time be necessary, be erected, and that the same or any other already erected be kept in such a Condition as may effectually secure the Prisoners which now are or may hereafter be confined therein. 28. You shall not suffer any Person to execute more Offices than one by Deputy. 29. You shall not by Colour of any Power or Authority hereby or otherwise granted or mentioned to be granted unto you, take upon you to give, grant, or dispose of any Place or Office within Our said Province, which now is or shall be granted under the Great Seal of this Kingdom, or to which any Person is or shall be appointed by, Warrant under Our Signet and Sign Manual, any further than that you may upon the Vacancy of any such Office or Place, or upon the Suspension of any such officer by you as aforesaid, put in any Jit Persons to officiate in the Interval, till you shall have represented the matter unto Us through one of Our principal Secretaries of State, which you are to do by the first opportunity, and till the said Office or Place is disposed of by Us, Our Heirs or Successors, under the great Seal of this Kingdom, or until some Person shall be appointed thereunto under Our Signet and Sign Manual, or until Our further Directions be given therein ; and it is Our express Will and Pleasure, that you do give reasonable Support unto the Patent Officers in the Enjoyment of their legal and established Fees, Rights, Privileges, and Emoluments, according to the true Intent and meaning of their respective Patents. 30. And Whereas several Complaints have been made by the Officers of Our Customs, in Our Plantations in America, that they have frequently been obliged to. serve on Juries, and personally to appear in Arms whenever the Militia is drawn out, and thereby are much hindered in the Execution of their Employments, Our Will and Pleasure is, that you take effectual Care and give the necessary Directions, that the several Officers of Our Customs be excused and exempted from serving on any Juries, or personally appearing in Arms in the Militia, unless in Cases of absolute necessity, or serving any Parochial Offices which may hinder them in the Execution of their Duties. 31. And Whereas nothing can more effectually tend to the speedy settling of Our said Province of Lower Canada, the Security of the Property of our Subjects and 10 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 the advancement of Our Revenue, than the disposal of such Lands as are Our Property upon reasonable terms, and the establishing of a regular and proper method of Proceeding, with respect to the passing of Grants of such Lands—It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure, that all and every Person andPersons who shall apply for any Grant or Grants of Land, shall previous to their obtaining the same, make it appear that they are in a condition to cultivate and improve the same, and in case you shall, upon a consideration of the Circumstances of the Person or Persons applying for such Grants, think it advisable to pass the same, you are in such Case to cause a Warrant to be drawn up directed to the Surveyor General or other Officers, impowering him or them to make a faithful and exact Survey of the Lands so petitioned for, and to return the said Warrant within Six Months at farthest from the date thereof, with a Plot or Description of the Lands so surveyed thereunto annexed, and wh-m the Warrant shall be so returned by the said Surveyor, or other proper Officer the Grant shall be made out in due form, and the Terms and Conditions required by these Our Instructions be particularly and expressly mentioned therein—And it is Our Will and Pleasure that the said Grants shall be registered within Six Months from the date thereof in the Register's Office, and a Docket thereof be also entered in Our Auditor's Office, Copies of all which Entries shall be returned regularly by the proper Officer to Our Commissioners of Our Treasury. 32. And for the further Encouragement of Our Subjects, It is Our Will and Pleasure that the Lands to be granted by you as aforesaid, shall be laid out in Townships, and that each Inland Township shall, as nearly as Circumstances shall admit, consist of Ten Miles Square ; and such as be situated upon a navigable River or Water shall have a front of Nine Miles, and shall be Twelve Miles in Depth, and shall be sub-divided in such manner as may be found most advisable for the accomodation of the Settlers, and for making the several Reservations for Public Uses and particularly for the Support of the Protestant Clergy agreeably to the above recited Act passed in the present year of Our Reign. 33. And Whereas great Inconveniences have heretofore arisen in many of the Colonies in America from the granting excessive Quantities of Land to particular Persons who have never cultivated or settled the same, and have thereby prevented others more industrious from improving such Lands—In order therefore to prevent the like inconveniences in future, it is Our Will and Pleasure that you observe the following Directions and Regulations in all Grants to be made by you as aforesaid ; vizt That no Town Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of a Family in any Township to be laid out as aforesaid which shall contain more than one Acre of Land. That no Park Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of a Family in any Township so to be laid out, which shall contain more than Twenty-four Acres. That no Farm Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of a Family in any Township so to be laid out, which shall contain more than 200 Acres. It is Our Will and Pleasure, and you are hereby allowed and permitted to grant unto every such Person or Persons such further Quantity of Land as they may desire, not exceeding one Thousand Acres over and above what may have' heretofore been granted to them, and in all Grants of Land to be made by you as aforesaid, you are to take care that due regard be had to the quality and comparative Value of the different parts of Land comprized within any Township, so that each Grantee may have as nearly as may be a proportionable quantity of Lands of such different Quality and comparative value, as likewise that the breadth of each Tract of Land to be hereafter granted be one third of the length of such Tract, and that the length of such Tract do not extend along the Banks of any River, but into the main Land, that thereby the said Grantees may have each a convenient Share of what accommodation the said River may afford for navigation or otherwise. ,34. And as a further Encouragement to Our Subjects who shall become Settlers as aforesaid, It is Our Will and Pleasure that the said Townships and the respective Allotments within the same, together with the Lands to be reserved as aforesaid, shall be run and laid out by Our Surveyor General of Lands for the said Province, or some INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 11 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 skilful Person authorized by him for that purpose, which Surveys together with the Warrants and Grants for the respective Allotments shall be made out for and delivered to the several Grantees free of any Expense or Fees whatsoever other than such as may be payable to the different Officers according to the Table of Fees already established upon Grants of Land made in the said Province. 35. And in order to prevent any Persons disaffected to Us and Our Government from becoming Settlers in Our said Province of Lower Canada, It is Our Will and Pleasure that no Warrants for surveying Lands be granted by you or the Lieutenant- Governor or Person administering the Government for the time being, unless the Person or Persons applying for the same, do, at the time of making such application, besides taking the usual Oaths directed by Law, also make and subscribe the following Declaration in your or his presence, or in the presence of such Person or Persons as shall by you or him be appointed for that purpose ; vizt " I, A : B : do promise and declare that I will maintain & defend to the utmost "of my Pfower the Authority of the King in His Parliament as the Supreme Legislature I of this Province." 36. Whereas the reserving such Bodies of Land within Our Province of Lower Canada, where there are considerable Growths of Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy, is a matter of the utmost importance to Our Service,—It is Our Will and Pleasure that no Grants whatever be made of Lands within any District or Tract in Our said Province of Lower Canada until Our Surveyor General of Woods or his Deputy lawfully appointed shall have surveyed the same and marked out as reservation to Us, Our Heirs and Successors such parts thereof as shall be found to contain any considerable growth of masting or other Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy, and more especially upon the Rivers, and you are hereby instructed to direct our Surveyor general of Lands in Our said Province from time to time with all due diligence to coni- pleat the Surveys and mark out the Reservations as aforesaid in the most convenient Parts of Our said Province ; and you are from time to time to report the number, extent and Situation of such Reservations, and you are further to direct Our Surveyor General not to certify any Plots of Land ordered and Surveyed for any Person or Persons whatever, in order that Grants may be made out for the same, until it shall appear to him by a Certificate under the hand of Our said Surveyor of Woods or his Deputy, that the Land so to be granted is not part of or included in any District marked out as a Reservation for Us, Our Heirs and Successors as aforesaid for the purpose herein before mentioned, and in order to prevent any deceit or fraud from being committed by the Persons applying for Lands in this respect, It is Our Will and Pleasure, that in ail Grants to be hereafter made for Lands within Our said Province of Lower Canada, the following Proviso and exception be inserted vizt " and provided also that | no part of the Parcel or Tract of Land hereby granted to the said " and his Heirs be within any Reservation heretofore made and marked for Us, " Our Heirs, and Successors by Our Surveyor General of Woods, or his lawful I Deputy, in which Case, this Our Grant for such part of the Land hereby " given and granted to the said and his Heirs forever as aforesaid, " and which shall upon a Survey thereof being made, be found within any such Reser- " vation, shall be null and void, and of non-Effect, any thing herein contained to the " contrary notwithstanding." 37. And Whereas it is necessary that all Persons who may be desirous of settling in Our said Province, should be fully informed of the Terms and Conditions upon which Lands will be granted within Our said Province of Lower Canada in manner prescribed in and by the said Act passed in the present year of Our Reign, you are therefore as soon as possible to cause a Publication to be made by Proclamation or otherwise, as you in your discretion shall think most adviseable of the said Terms and Conditions respecting the granting of Lands : in which Proclamation it may be expedient to add some short description of the natural Advantages of the Soil and Climate and its peculiar conveniences for Trade and Navigation. 12 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 38. And it is Our further Will and Pleasure that all the foregoing Instructions to you, as well as any which you may hereafter receive relative to the passing Grants of Lands in conformity to the said Act passed in the present year of Omr Reign, be entered upon record for the Information and Satisfaction of all Parties whatever that may be concerned therein. 39. And Whereas it hath been represented unto Us that many parts of the Province under your Government are particularly adapted to the Growth and Culture of Hemp and Flax, It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure, that in all Surveys for Settlement, the Surveyor be directed to report whether there are any or what quantity of Lands contained within such Survey fit for the Production of Hemp & Flax. 40. And Whereas it hath been represented to Us, that several Parts of Our Province of Lower Canada have been found to abound with Coals, It is Our Will and Pleasure that in all Grants of Land to be made by you, a Clause be inserted, reserving to Us Our Heirs, and Successors all Coals, and also all Mines of Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin, Iron and Lead which shall be discovered upon such Lands. 41. You shall cause a Survey to be made of all the considerable Landing Places and Harbours in Our said Province, in case the same shall not have already been done, and report to Us by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, how far any Fortifications be necessary for the Security and Advantage of the said Province. 42. And Whereas it appears from the Representations of Our late Governor of the District of Trois-Rivières, that the Iron Works at St. Maurice in that District are of Great Consequence to Our Service—It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that no part of the Lands upon which the said Iron Works were carried on, or from which the Ore used in such Iron Works was procured, or which shall appear to be necessary or convenient for that Establishment either in respect to a free' passage in the River St. Lawrence, or for producing a necessary Supply of Wood, Corn and Hay, or for Pasture for Cattle,be granted to any Private Person whatever ; and also, that as large a District of Land as conveniently may be adjacent to, and lying round the said Iron Works, over and above what may be necessary for the above purpose, be reserved for Our Use, to be disposed of in such manner as We shall hereafter direct and appoint. 43. Whereas the Establishment of proper Regulations in matters of Ecclesiastical Concern is an Object of very great Importance, it will be your indispensible Duty to take Care that no arrangements in regard thereto be made, but such as may give full satisfaction to Our New Subjects in every point in which they have a right to any Indulgence on that head, always remembering that it is a Toleration of the free Exercise of the Religion of the Church of Rome only to which they are entitled,.but not to the Powers and Privileges of it as an established Church, that being a Preference which belongs only to the Protestant Church of England. 44. Upon these Principles therefore, and to the end that Our just Supremacy in all matteis Ecclesiastical as well as civil may have its due Scope and Influence ; It is Our Will and Pleasure First, That all Appeals to or Correspondence with any Foreign Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of what nature or kind soever, be absolutely forbidden under very severe Penalties. 2ndly. That no Episcopal or Vicarial Powers be exercised within Our said Province by any Person professing the Religion of the Church of Rome, but such only as are essentially and indispensablynecessary to the free Exerciseof the Romish Religion,and in those Cases, not without a License and Permission from you under the Seal of Our said Province for and during Our Will and Pleasure, arid under such other Limitations and Restrictions as may correspond with the Spirit and Provisions of the Act of Parliament of the 14th year of Our Reign, " for making more effectual Provision for the Govern- I ment of the Province of Quebec \ " and no Person whatever is to have holy Orders conferred upon him, or to have the Cure of Souls, without a Licence for that purpose first had and obtained from you. 3rdly.

That no Person whatever professing the Religion of the Church of Rome be appointed Incumbent of any Parish in which the Majority of the Inhabitants shall solicit the Appointment of a Protestant Minister ; In such Case, the Incumbent shall be a Protestant, and entitled to all Tythes payable within such Parish : But nevertheless, the Roman Catholics may have the use of the Church for the free exercise of their Religion at such times as may not interfere with the Religious Worship of the Protestants ; And in like manner the Protestant Inhabitants in every Parish where the Majority of Parishioners are Roman Catholics,' shall notwithstanding have the use of the Church for the Exercise of their Religion at such times as may not interfere with the Religious Worship of the Roman Catholics. 5thly. That no Incumbent professing the Religion of the Church of Rome appointed to any Parish, shall be entitled to receive any Tythes for Lands or Possessions occupied by a Protestant ; but such Tithes shall be received by such Persons as you shall appoint, and shall be reserved in the hands of Our Receiver-General as aforesaid for the Support of a Protestant Clergy in Our said Province to be actually resident within the same, and not otherwise, according to such Directions as you shall receive from Us in that behalf, and in like manner all growing Rents and Profits of a vacant Benefice shall during such Vacancy be reserved for, and applied to the like Uses. 6thly. That all Persons professing the Religion of the Church of Rome, who are already possessed of, or may hereafter be appointed to any Ecclesiastical Benefice, or who may be licensed to exercise any power or authority in respect thereto, do take and Subscribe before you in Council, or before such Person as you shall appoint to administer the same, the Oath required to be taken and subscribed by the aforesaid act of Parliament, passed in the Fourteenth Year of Our Reign, intituled " An Act for " making more effectual Provision for the Government of the Province of Quebec in " North America." 7thly. That all Incumbents of Parishes professing the Romish Religion not being under the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Bishop of Nova Scotia, shall hold their respective Benefices during their good Behaviour, subject however, in case of any conviction for criminal Offences, or upon due Proof of seditious Attempts to disturb the Peace and tranquility of Our Government to be deprived or suspended by you. 8thly. That such Ecclesiastics as may think fit to enter into the holy state of Matrimony, shall be released from all Penalties to which they may have been subjected in such Cases by any Authority of the See of Rome. 9thly. That Freedom of the Burial of the Dead in the Churches and Church yards be allowed indiscriminately to every Christian Persuasion. lOthly.

It is also Our Will and Pleasure that all other Religious Seminaries and Communities (that of the Jesuits only excepted) do for the present, and until We can be more fully informed of the true state, of them, and how far they are or are not essential to the free Exercise of the Religion of the Church of Rome, as allowed within Our said Province, remain upon their present Establishment, but you are not to allow the Admission of any new Members into any of the said Societies or Communities (the Religious Communities of Women only excepted) without Our express orders for that purpose : That the Society of J esuits be Suppressed or dissolved and no longer continued as a Body Corporate or Politic, and all their Rights, Possessions, and Property shall be vested in Us for such Purposes as We may hereafter think fit to direct and appoint ; But We "think fit to declare Our Royal Intention to be, that the present members of the said Society as established at Quebec shall be allowed sufficient Stipends and Provisions during their natural Lives, that all Missionaries amongst the Indians, whether established under the Authority of, or appointed by the Jesuits, or by any other Ecclesiastical Authority of the Romish Church, be withdrawn by Degrees, and at such times, and in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the said Indians, and consistent with the public Safety, and Protestant Missionaries appointed in their places—That all Ecclesiastical Persons whatsoever of the Church of Rome be inhibited upon Pain of Deprivation, from influencing any Person in the making of a Will, from inveigling Protestants to become Papists, or from tampering with them in matters of Religion, and the Romish Priests be forbidden to inveigh in their Sermons against the Religion of the Church of England. 45.

You are to permit Liberty of Conscience, and the free Exercise of all such modes of Religious Worship as are not prohibited by Law, to all Persons who inhabit and frequent the Province of Lower Canada, provided they be contented with a quiet , and peaceable Enjoyment of the same, without giving Offence or Scandal to Government. 47. You are to take especial Care that God Almighty be devoutly and duly served throughout your Government, that the Lord's Day be duly kept, and that the Services and Prayers appointed by and according to the Book of Common Prayer be publicly and solemnly read and performed throughout the year. 48.

You shall recommend to the Legislative Council and General Assemblies of the Province of Lower Canada, to settle the Limits of Parishes in such a manner as shall be deemed most convenient. 50. You are to use your best Endeavours that every Minister be constituted one of the Vestry in his respective Parish, and that no Vestry be held without him, except in case of Sickness, or that, after notice given of a Vestry he omit to come. 51. It is Our Will and Pleasure that you recommend to the Legislative Council and Assembly of Our said Province of Lower Canada to make due Provision for the erecting and maintaining of Schools, where youth may be educated in competent Learning, and in knowledge of the Principles of the Christian Religion. 52. And it is Our further Will and Pleasure that no Person shall be allowed to keep a School in the Province of Lower Canada, without your License first had and obtained ; In granting which you are to pay the most particular attention to the Morals and proper Qualifications of the Persons applying for the same, and in all cases where the School has been founded, instituted, or appointed for the Education of members of the Church of England, or where it is intended that the School Master should be a Member of the Church of England, you are not to grant such Licences, except to Persons who shall first have obtained from the Bishop of Nova Scotia, or one of his Commissaries, a Certificate of their being properly qualified for that purpose. 53. And it is Our further Will and Pleasure, that in order to suppress every Species of Vice, Profaneness and Immorality, you do forthwith cause all Laws already made against Blasphemy, Profaneness, Adultery, Fornication, Polygamy, Incest, Profanation of the Lord's Day, Swearing, and Drunkenness, to be strictly put in execution in every part of the Province of Lower Canada, and that for this purpose you do Direct that the Constables and Church Wardens of the several Parishes do make Presentment upon Oath of any of the Vices before mentioned to the Justices of the Peace in their Session, or to any of the other Temporal Courts : And you are earnestly to recommend to the Legislative Council and Assembly to provide effectual Laws for the Restraint and Punishment of all such of the aforementioned Vices against which no Laws are as yet provided, or in cases where the Laws already made are found to be insufficient. And in order to discountenance Vice and promote the practice of Virtue to the utmost of your power We do hereby strictly command and enjoin you to appoint no Person to be a Justice of the Peace, or to any trust or Employment, whose notorious ill Life or Conversation may occasion Scandal. 54. You are not to present any Protestant Minister to any Ecclesiastical Benefice within Our said Province, by virtue of the said Act passed in the present year of Our Reign and of Our Commission to you, without a proper Certificate from the Bishop of Nova Scotia or his Commissary, of his being conformable to the Doctrine and Discipline of the Cliurch of England. 55. And you are to take especial Care that a Table of Marriages established by the Canons of the Church of England be hung up in all Places of Public Worship according to the Rites of the Church of England. 56. It is Our Royal Intention that the Peltry Trade of the Interior Country shall be free and open to all Our Subjects, Inhabitants of any of Our Colonies, who shall, pursuant to what was directed by Our Royal Proclamation of 1763 obtain trading Licences from the Governors of any of Our said Colonies under Penalties to observe such Regulations as shall be made by Our Legislature of Our Province of Lower Canada for that Purpose—These Regulations therefore, when established, must be made Public throughout all Our American Possessions ; and they must have for their Object the giving every possible facility to that Trade which the nature of it will admit, and which may be consistent with fair and just dealing towards the native Indians with whom it is carried on ; The fixing stated times and places for carrying on the Trade and adjusting Modes of settling Tarriffs of the Prices of Goods and Furrs, and above all the restraining the Sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Indians, will be the most probable and effectual Means of answering the ends proposed. 57. The Fisheries on the Coast of Labrador and the Islands adjacent thereto, are Objects of the greatest Importance, not only on account of the Commodities they produce, 16 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 but also as Nurseries of Seamen upon whom the Strength and Security of Our Kingdom depend. 58. Justice and Equity demand that the real and actual property and possession of the Canadian Subjects which existed at the time of the Cession of the said Province on that Coast, should be preserved entire, and that they should not be molested or hindered in the Exercise of any Sedentary Fisheries they may have established there. 59. Their Claims however extend to but a small district of the Coast, on the greatest part of which District, a Cod Fishery is stated to be impracticable. 60. On all such parts of the Coast where there are no Canadian possessions, and more especially where a valuable Cod Fishery may be carried on, it will be your Duty to make the Interest of Our British Subjects going out to fish there in Ships fitted out from Great Britain, the first Object of your Care, and as far as circumstances will admit to establish on that coast the Regulations in favour of British fishing Ships which have been so wisely adopted by the Act of Parliament passed in the Reign of King William the Third, for the Encouragement of the Newfoundland Fishery, and by the several Acts passed in the 15, 26, 28 and 29 years of Our Reign for that purpose ; And you are on no Account to allow any Possession to be taken, or Sedentary Fisheries to be established upon any parts of the Coast that are not already private Property by any Persons whatever, except only such as shall produce annually a certificate of their having fitted out from some Port in Great Britain. 61. Whereas it will be for the general Benefit of our Subjects carrying oa the Fishery in the Bay of Chaleurs in Our Provincebf Lower Canada, that such Part of the Beach and Shore of said Bay as is ungranted, should be reserved to Us, Our Heirs, and Successors, it is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that you do not in future direct any Survey to be made or Grant to be passed for any parb of the ungranted Beach or Shore of the said Bay of Chaleurs, except such parts thereof as by Our Orders in Council dated the 29th of June and 21st of July 1786 are directed to be granted to John Shoolbred of London, Merchant, and to Messrs. Robin, Pipon and Company of the Island of Jersey Merchants, but that the same be reserved to Us, Our Heirs and Successors, together with a Suflicient Quantity of Wood Land adjoining thereto, necessary for the purpose of carrying on the Fishery ; The Limits of such Wood Land so to be reserved to be determined upon and ascertained by you and Our Executive Council for Our said Province of Lower Canada, in such manner as from the most authentic Information shall appear to you and them most convenient and proper for that purpose—It is nevertheless Our Intention, and We do hereby signify to you Our Will and Pleasure, that the free use of such Beach or Shore, and of the Wood Land so to be reserved, shall be allowed by you or any Person authorized by you, to such of our Subjects as shall resort thither for the purpose of carrying on the Fishery in such proportions as the number of Chaloups he or they shall respectively employ may require ; Provided that, if any Fishermen who shall have permission to occupy any part of the said Beach or Shore, and Wood Land for the purpose of said Fishery, shall not during any one Season continue so to occupy and employ any part of the said Beach or Shore, and Wood Land so allotted to him, you or any Person authorized by you as above may and shall allow the use of such part to any other Fisherman who shall apply for the same for the purpose of carrying on the Fishery. And Whereas it may be necessary to establish local Regulations to prevent Abuses as well as disputes and Misunderstandings between the Fishermen resorting to the said Beach or Shore, it is Our Will and Pleasure that you, by and with the Advice and Consent of Our Executive Council, do frame suoh Regulations from time to time as to you shall appear necessary to answer those salutary purposes, and that you transmit the same to Us through one of Our principal Secretaries of State for Our Pleasure therein, and Copies thereof to Our Committee of Our Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations by the first opportunity. 62. And Whereas it is expedient for Our Service that We should from time to time be informed of the state of the Trade and Fisheries, as well as of the Population of Our said Province of Lower Canada, It is Our Will and Pleasure, that you do transmit to Us through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and to Our Committee of Our Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations for their Information, yearly and INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 17 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 every year, a full and particular Account of the State of the Fur and Peltry Trade, The nature and Extent of the several Fisheries carried on by Our Subjects or others, either on the Coasts Lakes or Rivers of the said Province, the State of the Cultivation, particularly specifying the Quantity of Grain, Hemp, and Flax produced, and of any other important Branch of Trade which may in your opinion be undertaken and advantageously carried on by Our Subjects ; the number of Inhabitants, distinguishing them under different heads, of Men, Women, and Children, inserting in such Account the number of Persons born, christened, and buried, and any extraordinary Influx, or Emigration from Our said Province, specifying at the same time the number of Slaves, and the number of Our Subjects capable of bearing Arms in the Militia, The Number and Tonnage of Shipping and Craft employed upon the Lakes or Rivers in or contiguous to the Province of Upper Canada, and of the Number and Tonnage of the Shipping entering inwards or clearing outwards from the Ports of Our Province of Lower Canada ; together with any other Information on these or any other points of the like nature which may be proper to be communicated to Us. 63. And Whereas for some years past, the Governors of some of Our Plantations have seized and appropriated to their own use, the produce of Whales of several kinds taken upom those Coasts, upon pretence that Whales are Royal Fishes, which tends greatly to discourage that Branch of Fishery in Our Plantations, and to prevent Persons from settling there—It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that you do not pretend to any Claim nor give any manner of Discouragement to the Fishery of Our Subjects upon the Coasts of the Province under your Government, but on the contrary that you give all possible Encouragement thereto. 64. And Whereas you will receive from Our Commissioners for executing the Office of High Admiral of Great Britain, and of the Plantations, a Commission constituting you Vice Admiral of Our said Province of Lower Canada, you are required and directed carefully to put in execution*the several Powers thereby granted you. 65. And Whereas We are desirous that Our Subjects in the Plantations should have the same ease in obtaining the Condemnation of Prizes theres as in this Kingdom, You are to signify Our Will and Pleasure to the Officers of Our Admiralty Court in Lower Canada, that they do not presume to demand or exact other Fees than what are taken in this Kingdom, which amount to about Ten Pounds for the Condemnation of each Prize, according to the List of such Fees. 66. And there having been great Irregularities in the manner of granting Commissions iiï the Plantations to private Ships of War, you are to govern yourself whenever there shall be occasion according to the Commission and Instructions granted^ in this Kingdom, but you are not to grant Commissions of Marque or Reprisal against any Prince or State in amity with Us to any Person whatsoever, without Our Special Command, and You are to oblige the Commanders of all ships having private Commissions to wear no other Colours than such as are described in an Order in Council of the 7th January 1730, in relation to Colours to be worn by all Ships of War. 67. Whereas Commissions have been granted unto several Persons in Our respective Plantations in America for trying Pirates in those parts pursuant to the several Acts for the more effectual Suppression of Piracy ; and a Commission will be prepared empowering You as Our Captain General and Governor in Chief of Our Province of Lower Canada, with others therein mentioned to proceed accordingly in reference to'the said Province ; Our Will and Pleasure is, that in all matters relating to Pirates, you govern yourself according to the Intent of the said Acts. 68. Whereas it is absolutely necessary that We be exactly informed of the State of Defence of all Our Plantations in America, as well as in relation to the Stores of War that are in each Plantation, as to the Forts and Fortifications there, and what more may be necessary to be built for the Defence and Security of the same—You are from time to time to transmit an Account thereof with relation to Our said Province of Lower Canada in the most particular manner, and you are therein to express the present State of the Arms, Ammunition, and other Stores of War belonging to the said Province either in any Public Magazines or in the hands of private Persons, together with a State of all Places either already fortified or that you may judge necessary to be fortified for the Security of Our said Province, and you are to transmit the said accounts to us by one 18—2* 18 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII, A. 1906 of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and also Duplicates thereof to Our Master General ■or Principal Officers of Our Ordnance, which Accounts are to express the particulars of Ordnance Carriages, Balls.Powder, and all other Sorts of Arms and Ammunition now in Our public Stores, and so from time to time of what shall be sent to you or bought with the Public money, and to specify the time of the disposal and the occasion thereof, and other like accounts half yearly in the same manner. 69. And in case of Distress of any other of our Plantations, you shall upon Application of the respective Governors thereof to you, assist them with what aid, the Condition and Safety of Our said Province under your Government can spare. 70. If any thing shall happen which may be of Advantage or Security to Our Province under your Government, which is not herein or by your Commission provided for ; We do hereby allow unto you with the Advice and Consent of Our said Executive* Council, to take order for the present therein, provided nevertheless that what shall be done be not repugnant to the said Acts passed in the 14th and in the present year of Our Reign, giving unto Us, by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State speedy notice thereof, that you may receive Our Ratification' if We shall approve the same, Provided always that you do not by Colour of any Power or Authority hereby given you, commence or declare War without Our knowledge and particular Commands therein, except it be for the "purpose of preventing or repelling Hostilities, or unavoidable Emergencies wherein the consent of Our Executive Council shall be had, and speedy notice given thereof to Us, by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State. 71. .And Whereas We have by the first Article of these Our Instructions to you directed and appointed that your Chief Residence shall be at Quebec ; You are nevertheless frequently to visit the other parts of Your Government in order to inspect the management of all Public affairs, and thereby the better to take Care that the Government be so administered that no disorderly Practice may grow up contrary to Our Service and the Welfare of Our Subjects. 1 72.

If you shall discover that any Persons, claiming Right or Propriety in any Island, or Tract of Land in America, by Charter, Letters Patent, or other Grant, shall at any time hereafter, alien, sell, or dispose of such Right, or Propriety other than to Our natural born Subjects of Great Britain, Ireland or Our Plantations in America, without the License or Consent of Us, Our Heirs «fe Successors, signified by Our or Their Order in Council first had and obtained, you shall give Notice thereof to Us, thro' one of Our principal Secretaries of State, and to the Commissioners of Our Treasury, or Our High Treasurer of Great Britain for the time being. 14. And whereas notwithstanding the many good Laws made from time to time, for preventing Frauds in the Plantation Trade, it is manifest that very great Abuses have been, and still continue to be practised, to the Prejudice of the same, which Abuses must needs arise either from the Insufficiency, or Insolvency of those Persons who are accepted as Securities, in Bonds required by Law, or from the Remissness, or Connivance of Our Governors, who ought to take due Care that those Persons who execute such Bonds should be sued for Breaches of the Conditions of such Bonds, you are to take Notice that We consider the Good of Our Plantations and the Improvement of the Trade thereof, by a strict and punctual Observance of the several Laws in force concerning the same, to be of so great Importance to the Benefit of this Kingdom, and to the advancing of the Revenue of Our Customs, that, if We shall hereafter be informed that at any time there shall be any Failure in the due Observance of those Laws, and of these present Instructions, by any wilful Neglect or Fault on your Part, we shall esteem such Neglect to be a Breach of the same ; And We think proper to apprize you, that it is Our flxed and determined Will and Intention, to remove you, or Our Commander in Chief for the time being, from your Employments, for any such offence, and that We will strictly levy and inflict as well the Fine of One Thousand Pounds, imposed by an Act passed in the Seventh «fe Eighth of King William the Third, Chap : 22d as all other Fines, Forfeitures, Pains and Penalties, to which you shall for such Offence be liable by any Acts of Parliament now in force, or otherwise—And that you will further on the same account receive the most rigourous Marks of Our Displeasure.

And Whereas in pursuance of the Power vested in Us by an Act made in the Twenty third year of Our Reign Intituled " An Act for preventing certain Instru- | ments from being required from Ships belonging to the United States of America " and to give His Majesty for a limited Time certain Powers for the better carrying on Trade and Commerce between the Subjects of His Majesty's Dominions and the Inhabitants of the said United States " the Provisions of which said recited Act have been continued and enforced by other Acts since passed We by several Orders passed by Us in Our Council have made such Regulations and given such directions for regulating the Trade between Our Dominion and the United States of America as the Interest and Welfare of Our Subjects and the preservation and Encouragement of the Trade and Navigation of Our Kingdoms have from time to time made necessary and expedient it is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that you do in all Things conform yourself as well to the Provisions of the above mentioned Acts of Parliament as to the regulations and direction contained in Our said Orders in Council or such further Regulations and Directions as may be contained in any future Order or Orders made by Us in Council for the purposes aforesaid And that you do give the proper Orders to the several Officers concerned that due Obedience be paid thereunto. 4th. You shall take care that the Naval Officers within Your Government do give such Security to the Commissioners of Our Customs for the true and faithful performance of their Duty as is by Law required. 5th. And Whereas it is necessary for the greater convenience of Merchants and others that the Naval Officers and the Collectors of the Customs should reside at the i same Ports or Towns you are therefore to take care that this Regulation be observed j and to consult with the Collector of the Customs in what Places it may be most con- j venient to have the Custom House fixed*for the Despatch of Business if the same shall j not have been already done and to take care that the Collector and Naval Officer reside within a convenient distance of the Custom House. 6th. You shall every three Months or oftener as there shall be opportunity of Conveyance transmit to the Commissioners of Our Treasury or Our High Treasurer for \ the time being and to the Commissioners of Our Customs in London a List of all Ships j and Vessels Trading in your Government according to the Schedule hereunto annexed i together with a List of the Bonds taken in pursuance of the several Acts hereinbefore I mentioned and you shall cause demand to be made of every Master at his Clearing of j an Invoice of the Contents and Quality of his Lading <fec. according to the Schedule ! hereunto also annexed and you shall moreover direct the several Naval Officers within | your Government to furnish you with Quarterly Lists of such Ships and Vessels i together with the Tonnage and Names of the Masters and Owners thereof and of the j Cargoes according to the-Schedule before mentioned which you are to transmit to Us through One of Our Principal Secretaries of State by the first opportunity that shall j offer after expiration of each Quarter And it is Our Will and Pleasure#fchat you be i particularly attentive to Our directions in this respect and that you do take due care i that the several Naval Officers do strictly comply therewith. 7th. You shall give Directions that the Collector of the Customs within your : Government be permitted to have recourse to the said Bonds as well as to the Book or Books in which they are or ought to be entered and to examine as well whether due i Entry be made as whether they are regularly taken and discharged And where it shall I appear that Bonds are not regularly discharged you are to order that such Bonds be put in Suit. 8th. You shall not assent to «,ny Act of Assembly or allow any Usage to prevail i within your Government which shall be repugnant to the Acts of Parliament herein- j before mentioned or to any that may hereafter be made as far as the same relate to Our Plantations in America. 9th. You shall be aiding and assisting to the Collectors and other Officers of Our Customs appointed or who shall hereafter be appointed by the Commissioners of Our INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 45 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I Customs in this Kingdom by and under the Authority and Direction of the Commissioners of Our Treasury or Our High Treasurer for the time being and also to the Officers of the Court of Vice Admiralty in your Government appointed or who shall hereafter be appointed by Our High Admiral of Our United.Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland or the Commissioners for executing the Office of High Admiral or by you or Our Commander in Chief for the time being as Vice Admiral within your said Government in putting in Execution the several Acts of Parliament before mentioned and you shall cause due prosecutions of all such Persons as shall any way resist or hinder any of the said Officers of Our Admiralty or Customs in the Performance of their Duty. 10th. Whereas the Commissioners appointed for collecting the Six pence per month from Seamen's Wages for Our Royal Hospital at Greenwich pursuant to the Act of Parliament for that purpose have given Instructions to their Receivers in Foreign Parts for their Conduct therein It is Our Will and Pleasure that you be aiding and assisting to the said Receivers in your Government in the due execution of their Trusts. 11th.

You shall from time to time advise the Commissioners of Our Customs in London of all Frauds Neglects and Misdemeanours of any of the Officers of Our Customs within your Government and shall also communicate to them all Occurrences which you may think necessary for their Information relating either to any of the Acts hereinbefore mentioned or to Our Revenue under their Management. 13th. If you shall discover that any Person claiming Right or Propriety in any Island or Tract of Land within your Government by Charter Letters Patent or other Grant shall at any time hereafter alien sell or dispose of such Right or Propriety other than to Our Natural born Subjects of Great Britain Ireland or Our Plantations in America without the Licence or consent of Us Our Heirs and Successors signified by Our or Their Order in Council first had and obtained you shall give notice thereof to Us through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State and to the Commissioners of Our Treasury or Our High Treasurer of Great Britain for the time being. 14th. And Whereas notwithstanding the many good Laws, made from time to time for preventing Frauds in the Plantation Trade it is manifest that very great Abuseshave been and still continue to be practised to the prejudice of thesame which Abuses must needs arise either from the insufficiency or Insolvency of those Persons who are accepted as Securities in Bonds required by Law or from the remissness or Connivance of Our Governors who ought to take due.care that those Persons who execute such Bonds should be sued for breaches of the Conditions of such Bonds you are to take notice that We consider the Good of Our Plantations and the Improvement of the Trade thereof by a strict and punctual observance of the several Laws in force concerning the same to be of so great Importance to the Benefit of this Kingdom and to the advancing of the Revenue of Our Customs that if We shall hereafter be informed that at any time there shall be any failure in the due observance of those Laws and of these present Instructions by any Wilful Neglect or Fraud on your part We shall esteem such Neglect to be a Breach of the same and We think it proper to apprize you that it is Our fixed and determined Will and Intention to remove you or Our Commander in Chief for the time being from your Employments for any such Offence and that We will strictly levy and inflict as well the Fine of One Thousand Pounds imposed by an Act passed in the seventh and eighth of King William the 3rd Cap. 22 as all other Fines Forfeitures Pains and Penalties to which you shall for such Offence be liable by any Acts of Parliament now in foroe or otherwise and that you will further on the same account receive the most rigorous Marks of Our Highest Displeasure.

And You are, with all due Solemnity, before the Members of Our Executive Council, to cause Our said Commission to be read and published, which being done, You shall then take, and also administer to such of the Members of Our said Executive Council, the Oaths mentioned in an Act passed in the first Year of His late Majesty King George the First, intituled, " An Act for the further Security of His Majesty's I Person, and Government, and the Succession of the Crown in the Heirs of the late | Princess Sophia, being Protestants and for extinguishing the hopes of the pretended " Prince of Wales> and his open and secret Abettors " ; as altered and explained by an Act passed in the Sixth Year of Our Reign, intituled, " An Act for altering the Oath " of Abjuration and the Assurance, and for amending so much of an Act of the Seventh I Year of Her late Majesty Quèen Anne, intituled ' An Act for the Improvement of the " Union of the two Kingdoms, as after the time therein limited requires the delivery of " certain Lists therein mentioned to Persons indicted for High Treason or Misprision of " Treason ' " ; and also make and subscribe and cause the Members of the said Executive Council to make and subscribe the Declaration mentioned in an Act of Parliament made 56 CANADIAN ARCHIVES . 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 in the Twenty fifth Year of the Reign of King Charles the Second, intituled, " An Act " for preventing the Dangers which may happen from Popish Recusants," and You and every of them are likewise to take an Oath for the due execution of Your and Their Places and Trusts, with regard to your and their equal and impartial administration of Justice, and You are also to take the Oath required by an Act passed in the Seventh and Eighth Years of the Reign of King William the Third, to be taken by Governors of Plantations, to do their utmost that the Laws relating to the Plantations be duly observed. 3. You shall also administer or cause to be administered the Oaths appointed in the aforesaid recited Acts to all Persons, except as hereafter mentioned, that shall be appointed to hold or exercise any Office, Place of Trust or Profit, in Our said Province, previous to their entering on the execution of the Duties of such Office, and you shall'also cause them to make and subscribe the Declaration mentioned in the aforesaid Act of the Twenty-fifth year of the Reign of King Charles the Second.

Whereas We have thought fit that there should be an Executive Council for assisting you, or Our Lieutenant Governor, or Person administering the Government of Our said Province of Upper Canada for the time being, We do hereby by these Presents, nominate and appoint the undermentioned Persons to be of the Executive Council of Ou|. ^said Province, viz. : Willim Osgoode, William Robertson, Alexander Grant, and Peter Russell, Esquires. And Whereas by an Ordinance passed in the Province of Quebec, the Governor and Council of the said Province were constituted a Court of Civil Jurisdiction for hearing and determining Appeals in certain Cases therein specified ; And whereas by an A.ct passed in the present Year of Our Reign, it is declared that the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, or Person administering the Government of the said Province, together with such Executive Council shall be a Court of Civil Jurisdiction, within Our said Province for hearing and determining Appeals within the same, in the like cases, and in the like manner and form, and subject to such Appeal therefrom, as such Appeals might have been before the passing of the above recited Act, heard and determined by the Governor and Council of Quebec. In order therefore to carry the said Act into execution, Our Will and Pleasure is, that you do in all Civil Causes, on application being made to you for that purpose, permit and allow Appeals from any of the Courts of Common Law in Our said Province, unto you and the Executive Council of the said Province of Upper Canada, in manner prescribed by the abovementioned Act, and you are for that purpose to issue a Writ, as nearly in the accustomed manner before the passing of the abovementioned Act, in respect of such Appeals, as the Case will admit, returnable before yourself and the Executive Council of the said Province, who are to proceed to hear and determine such Appeal, wherein such of the said Executive Council, as shall be at that time, Judges of the Court from whence such Appeal shall be made to you Our Captain General and to Our said Executive Council as aforesaid, shall not be admitted to vote upon the said Appeal, but they may nevertheless be present at the hearing thereof, to give the reasons.of the Judgment given by them, in the Causes wherein such Appeal shall be made, provided nevertheless, that in all such Appeals, the Sum or Value appealed for, do exceed the Sum of Three hundred Pounds Sterling, and that Security be first duly given by the Appellant to answer such Charges, as shall be awarded in case the first Sentence be affirmed, and if either Party shall not rest satisfied with the Judgment of you and such Executive Council as aforesaid, Our Will and Pleasure is, that they may then Appeal unto Us, in Our Privy Council, provided the Sum or Value so appealed for unto Us, do exceed Five Hundred Pounds Sterling, and that s uch Appeal be made within Fourteen days after Sentence and good Security be given INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 57 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 by the Appellant, that he will effectually prosecute the same and answer the Condemnation, as also pay such Costs and Damages as shall be awarded by Us, in case the Sentence of You and the Executive Council be affirmed ; Provided nevertheless, where the matter in question relates to the taking, or demanding any Duty payable to Us, or to any Fee of Office, or Annual Rents, or other such like matters or thing where the Rights in future may be bound, in all such Cases you and the said Executive Council are to admit an Appeal to Us in Our Privy Council, though the immediate Sum or Value appealed for be of a less value ; and it is Our further Will and Pleasure, that in all cases, where by your Instructions, you are to admit Appeals unto Us in Our Privy Council, execution shall be suspended until the final determination of such Appeal, unless good and sufficient Security be given by the Appellee, to make ample restitution of all that the Appellant shall have lost by means of such Decree or Judgment, in case upon the determination of such Appeal, such Decree or Judgement should be reversed and restitution ordered to the Appellant. You and Our Executive Council are also to permit Appeals unto Us, in Our Privy Council, in all Cases of Fines imposed for Misdemeanors, provided the Fines so imposed amount to, or exceed the Sum of One Hundred Pounds Sterling, the Appellant first giving good Security, that he will effectually prosecute the same, and answer the Condemnation, if the Sentence, by which such Fine was imposed in Your Government shall be confirmed. 5. And that We may be always informed of the Names and Characters of Persons fit to supply the Vacancies, which may happen in Our said Executive Council, You are in case of any Vacancy in the said Council, to Transmit to Us, by one of Our principal Secretaries of State, the Names and Characters of such three Persons, Inhabitants of Our said Province of Upper Canada, whom you shall esteem the best qualified for fulfilling the Trust of such Executive Councillor. 6. And in the choice and selection of such Persons proposed to fill such Vacancy in Our said Executive Council, as also of the Chief Officers, Judges, Assistants, Justices of the Peace, and other Officers of Justice, you are always to take care that they may be Men of good Life, well affected to Our Government, and of Abilities suitable to their Employments. 7. And whereas We are sensible that effectual Care ought to be taken to oblige the Members of Our Executive Council to a due attendance, It is Our Will and Pleasure, in order to prevent the many inconveniences, which may happen for want of a Quorum of the Council, to transact Business as occasion may require, that if any of the Members of Our said Executive Council, residing in Our said Province shall hereafter wilfully absent themselves from the Province and continue absent above the space of Six Months together without leave from you first obtained under Your hand and Seal, or shall remain absent for the space of One year without Our Leave given them, under Our Royal Signature, their Places in the said Executive Council shall immediately thereupon become void. And We do hereby will and require you, that this Our Royal Pleasure be signified to the several Members of Our said Executive Council, and that it be entered in the Council Books of the said Province as a standing Rule. 8. And to the end that Our said Executive Council may be assisting to You in all Affairs relating to Our Service, You are to communicate to them, such and so many of these Our Instructions, wherein their Advice is mentioned to be requisite ; and likewise all such others from time to time as you shall find convenient for Our Service to be imparted to them. 9. You are also to permit the Members of Our said Executive Council to have and enjoy Freedom of Debate and Vote in all Affairs of Public concern, which may be debated in the said Executive Council. 10. And whereas We have thought fit to declare by Our Order in Council bearing date, the 24th day of August last, that the Division of Our Province of Quebec shall commence on the day of December next, and that from thenceforth the Lands and Territories therein described, shall be two separate Provinces, and be called the Province of Upper Canada, and the Province of Lower Canada ; You are as soon as may be after such division shall take place to summon, by an Instrument under the Great Seal of Our Province of Upper Canada, to the Legislative Council of that Province, the 58 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1T06 following Persons, whom We hereby authorize and direct You, so to summon to Our said Legislative Council of Upper Canada, viz.

That no Law or Ordinance whatever be suspended, altered, continued, revived or repealed by general Words, but that the Title and Date of such Law or Ordinance be particularly mentioned in the enacting Part.

And you are on every occasion to transmit to Us thro' one of our Principal Secretaries of State with all convenient speed, a particular Account of all new Establishments of Jurisdictions, Courts, Offices & Officers, Powers and Authorities, Fees & privileges granted and settled within Our said Province of Upper Canada, as likewise an Account of all the Expenses (if any) attending the Establishment of the said Courts and Offices. 22. It is our further Will and Pleasure that all Commissions be granted by vou to any Person or Persons, to be Judge, Justice of the Peace, or other necessary Offices be granted during Pleasure only. 23. You are not to suspend any of the Members of Our said executive Council, or to suspend or displace any of the Judges, Justices, Sheriffs, or other Officers or Ministers within our said Province of Upper Canada, without good (fe sufficient cause, and in ! INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 61 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 case of such Suspension or Removal you are forthwith to transmit your reasons for the same to one of our Principal Secretaries of State. 24. And whereas frequent Complaints have been made of great delays and undue proceedings in the Courts of Justice in several of our Plantations whereby many of Our good Subjects have very much suffered, and it being of the greatest importance to Our Service and to the Welfare of our Plantations that J ustice be everywhere speedily & duly administered, and that all disorders, delays & other undue practices in the Administration thereof be effectually prevented, We do particularly require you to take especial Care that in all Courts where you are authorized to preside, Justice be impartially administered, and that in all other Courts established within Our said Province, all Judges and other Persons therein concerned do likewise perform their several Duties without delay or partiality. 25. You are to take care that no Court of Judicature be adjourned but upon good grounds, as also that no Orders of any Court of Judicature be entered or allowed which shall not be first read and approved of by the Justices in open Court, which Rule you are in like manner to see observed with relation to all proceedings of Our Executive Council of Upper Canada, and that all Orders there made be first read and approved in such Council before they are entered upon the Council Books. 26. You are to take care that all Writs within Our said Province of Upper Canada be issued in Our Name. 27. You shall take care with the Advice & Assistance of Our executive Council that such Prisons as may at any time be necessary, be erected, and that the same or any other already erected be kept in such a Condition as may effectually secure the Prisoners which now are or may hereafer be confined therein. 28.

You shall not by colour of any Power or Authority hereby or otherwise granted or mentioned to be granted unto you, take upon you to give, grant, or dispose of any Place or Office within Our said Province, which now is, or shall be granted under the great Seal of this Kingdom, or to which any Person is or shall be appointed by Warrant under Our Signet and Sign Manual, any further than that you may, upon the Vacancy of any such Office or Place, or upon the suspension of any such Officer by you as aforesaid, put in any fit Person to Officiate in the interval, 'till you shall have represented the matter unto Us, through one of our Principal Secretaries of State which you are to do by the first opportunity, and till the said Office or place is disposed of by Us Our Heirs or Successors under the Great Seal of this Kingdom, or until some person shall be appointed thereunto under Our Signet and Sign Manual or until Our further directions be given therein ; And it is Our express Will and Pleasure, that you do give reasonable support unto the Patent Officers in the .enjoyment of their legal and established Fees, Rights, Privileges &, Emoluments, according to the true intent and meaning of their respective Patents. 30. And Whereas several complaints have been made by the Officers of our Customs in our Plantations in America, that they have frequently been obliged to serve on Juries, and personally to appear in Arms, whenever the Militia is drawn out, and thereby are much hindered in the execution of their employments. Our Will and Pleasure is that you take effectual care, and give the necessary directions that the several Officers of our Customs be excused and exempted from serving on any Juries, or personally appearing in Arms in the Militia, unless in cases of absolute necessity, or serving any Parochial Offices which may hinder them in the Execution of their Duties. 31. And Whereas nothing can more effectually tend to the speedy settling of our said Province of Upper Canada, the Security of the Property of our Subjects and the advancement of our Revenue, than the disposal of such Lands as are our Property upon reasonable terms, and the establishing of a Regular and proper method of proceeding with respect to the passing of Grants of such Lands. It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that all and every Person and Persons who shall apply for any Grant or Grants of Land, shall, previous to their obtaining the same, make it appear that they are in a condition to cultivate and improve the same, and in case you shall upon a consideration of the circumstances of the Person or Persons applying for such Grants, 62 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 think it advisable to pass the same, you are in such Case, to cause a Warrant to be drawn up, directed to the Surveyor General, or other Officers, impowering him or them to make a faithful and exact Survey of the Lands so petitioned for and to return the said Warrant within six Months at farthest from the date thereof, with a Plot or Description of the Lands sc surveyed thereunto annexed, and when the Warrant shall ; be so returned by the said Surveyor, or other proper Officer, the Grant shall be made i out in due form, and the Terms and Conditions required by these Our Instructions be particularly and expressly mentioned therein. And it is Our Will and Pleasure, that the said Grants shall be registered within Six Months from the date thereof in the Register's Office, and a Docket thereof be also entered in Our Auditors Office, Copiés j of all which Entries shall be returned regularly by the proper Officer, to Our Commissioners of our Treasury. 32. *And for the further encouragement of Our Subjects, It is Our Will and Pleasure that the Lands to be granted you as Aforesaid shall be laid out in Townships, i and that each Inland Township shall as nearly as circumstances shall admit consist of Ten Miles Square and such as shall be situated upon a Navigable River or Water shall; have a front of Nine Miles, and be twelve Miles in depth, and shall be subdivided in \ such manner as may be found most advisable for the Accommodation of the Settlers i aud for making the several reservations for Public Uses and particularly for the support i of the Protestant Clergy agreeably to the above recited Act passed in the present year I of Our Reign. 33. And Whereas great inconveniences have heretofore arisen in many of the \ Colonies in America from the granting excessive quantities of Land to particular; Persons who have never cultivated or settled the same & have thereby prevented others | more industrious from improving such Lands ; In order to prevent the like inconve-1 niences in the future, it is Our Will and Pleasure that you observe the following directions and Regulations in all Grants to be made as aforesaid vizt : That no Town Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of a Family in any Township to be laid out as aforesaid which shall contain more than i One Acre of Land. That no Park Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of, a Family in any Township so to be laid out which shall contain more than Twenty fouri Acres. That no Farm Lot shall be granted to any one Person being Master or Mistress of a Family in any Township so to be laid out which shall contain more than 200 Acres. It is Our Will and Pleasure, and you are hereby allowed and permitted to grant i unto every such Person or Persons such further quantity of Land as they may desire, j not exceeding one thousand Acres over and above what may have heretofore been granted to them, and in all grants of Land to be made by the aforesaid you are to take care that due regard be had to the quality and comparative value of the different parts of Land comprised within any Township so that each Grantee may have as nearly as may be a proportionable quantity of Lands of such different quality and comparative i value, as likewise that the breadth of each Tract of Land to be hereafter granted be one third of the length of such Tract, and that the length of such Tract do not extendi along the Banks of any River, but into the main Land, that thereby the said Granteesj may have each a convenient share of what accommodation the said River may afford for Navigation or otherwise. 34. And as a further encouragement to Our Subjects who shall become Settlers as aforesaid, It is Our Will and Pleasure that the said Townships & the respective allotments within the same together with the Lands to be reserved as aforesaid shall be run and laid out by Our Surveyor General of Lands for the Province, or some skilful Person authorized by him for that purpose, which Surveys together with the Warrants & Grants for the respective Allotments shall be made but for and delivered to the sev-i eral Grantees free of any Expense or fees whatsoever, other than such as may be payable to the different Officers according to the Table of Fees to be established upon Grants of Land made in the said Province. INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 63 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 35. And in order to prevent any Persons disaffected to Us and Our Government from becoming Settlers in Our said Province of Upper Canada. It is Our Will and Pleasure that no Warrants for Surveying Lands be granted by you, or the Lieutenant Governor or Person administering the Government for the time being unless the Persons or Persons applying for the same do at the time of Making such application besides taking the usual Oaths directed by Law also make and subscribe the following Declaration in your or his presence, or in the presence of such Person or Persons as shall by you or him be appointed for that purpose, viz : "I. A. B. do promise and declare that I will Maintain | and defend to the utmost of my power the Authority of the King in His Parliament "as the Supreme Legislature of this Province." 36. Whereas the reserving such Bodies of Land within Our Province of Upper Canada where there are considerable Growths of Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy, is a matter of the utmost importance to Our Service. It is Our Will and Pleasure that no Grants whatever be made of Lands within any district or Tract in Our said Province of Upper Canada until Our Surveyor General of Woods or his Deputy lawfully appointed shall have Surveyed the same and marked out as reservations to Us, Our Heirs & Successors such Parts thereof as shall be found to contain any considerable Growth of Masting or other Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy, and more especially upon the Rivers. And you are hereby instructed to direct Our Surveyor General of Lands in Our said Province from time to time with all due diligence to compleat the Surveys and mark out the Reservations as aforesaid in the most convenient parts of Our said Province, and you are from time to time to report the number, extent & Situation of such Reservations, and you are further to direct Our Surveyor General not to certify any Plotts of Land ordered and Surveyed for any Person or Persons whatever in order that Grants may be made out for the same, until it shall appear to him by a Certificate, under the hand of our said Surveyor of Woods or his Deputy, that the Land so to be granted is not part of, or included in any district marked out as a Reservation for Us Our Heirs and Successors as aforesaid for the purpose herein before mentioned, and in order to prevent any deceit or fraud from being committed by the Persons applying for Lands in this respect, It is Our Will and Pleasure that in all Grants to be hereafter made for Lands within Our said Province of Upper Canada the following proviso and Exception be inserted viz : " and provided also that no part of " this Parcel or Tract of Land hereby granted to the said and his Heirs be within " any reservation heretofore made and marked for Us, Our Heirs and Successors by Our " Surveyor General of Woods, or his lawful Deputy in which case this Our Grant for " such part of the Land hereby given and granted to the said and his Heirs " for ever as aforesaid and which shall upon a Survey thereof being made, be found " within any such Reservation shall be null and void and of none effect, any thing herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. 37. And Whereas it is necessary that all Persons who may be desirous of settling in Our said Province should be fully informed on the Terms and Conditions upon which Lands will be granted within our said Province of Upper Canada in manner prescribed, in and by the said Act passed in the present year of our Reign, you are therefore as soon as possible to cause a Publication to be made by Proclamation or otherwise as you in Your discretion shall think most adviseable of the said Terms and Conditions respecting the granting of Lands in which Proclamation it may be expedient to add some short description of the natural advantages of the Soil and Climate and its peculiar conveniences for Trade and Navigation. 38. And it is Our further Will and Pleasure that all the foregoing Instructions to you as well as any which you may hereafter receive relative to the passing Grants of Land in conformity to the said Act passed in the present year of Our Reign, be entered upon record, for the Information and Satisfaction of all Parties whatever that may be concerned therein. 39. And Whereas it hath been represented unto Us, that many parts of the Province under Your Government are particularly adapted to the growth and culture of Hemp and Flax, It is therefore Our Will and Pleasure that in all Surveys for Settlement the Surveyor be directed to report whether there are any or what quantity of Lands, contained within such Survey fit for the Production of Hemp and Flax. 64 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 40. And Whereas it hath been represented to Us, that several Parts of Our Province of Upper Canada have been found to abound with Coals, It is Our Will and Pleasure that in all Grants of Land to be made by you, a Clause be inserted reserving to Us, Our Heirs and Successors all Coals, and also all Mines of Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin, Iron and Lead which shall be discovered upon such Lands. 41. You shall cause a Survey to be made of all the considerable Landing Places and Harbours in Our said Province, in case the same shall not have already been done, and report to Us by One of Our Principal Secretaries of State, how far any Fortifications be necessary for the Security and Advantage of the said Province. 42. %Whereas the Establishment of proper Regulations in Matters of Ecclesiastical Concern'is an object of very great Importance, it will be your indispensible Duty to take Care that no arrangements in regard thereto be made, but such as may give full Satisfaction to our new Subjects in every Point in which they have a right to any Indulgence on that Head, always remembering that it is a Toleration of the free Exercise of the Religion of the Church of Rome only,, to which they are entitled, but not to the Powers and Privileges of it as an established Church, that being a Preference which belongs only to the Protestant Church of England. 43. Upon these Principles therefore and to the end that Our just Supremacy in all matters Ecclesiastical as well as Civil may have its due Scope and Influence, It is Our Will and Pleasure First. That ail Appeals to, or Correspondence with any Foreign Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of what nature or kind soever, be absolutely forbidden under very severe Penalties. Secondly.

Fourthly. That no Person whatever professing the Religion of the Church of Rome be appointed Incumbent of any Parish in which the Majority of the Inhabitants shall ; solicit the Appointment of a Protestant Minister; In such Case the Incumbent shall be a Protestant, and be entitled to all Tythes payable within such Parish; But nevertheless the Roman Catholicks may have the use of the Church for the free exercise of their Religion at such Times as may not interfere with the Religohs Worship of the Protestants, and in like manner the Protestant Inhabitants in every Parish where the Majority of Parishoners are Roman Catholicks shall notwithstanding have the use of the Church for the Exercise of their Religion at such times as may not interfere with the Religious Worship of the Roman Catholicks. Fifthly. That no Incumbent professing the Religion of the Church of Rome appointed to any Parish, shall be entitled to receive any Tythes for Lands or Posessions occupied by a Protestant, but such Tythes shall be received by such Persons as you shall appoint, and shall be reserved in the Hands of Our Receiver General as aforesaid for the Support of a Protestant Clergy in Our said Province to be actually resident within INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 65 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 the same and not otherwise according to such Directions as you shall receive from Us in that behalf and in like manner all growing Rents and Profits of a vacant Benefice shall during such Vacancy be reserved for and applied to the like uses.

Whereas We did by Our Commission under Our Great Seal of Great Britain bearing date the 1st. day of August 1787, appoint the Right Reverend Father in God, Charles Inglis, Doctor in Divinity to be Bishop of the Province of Nova Scotia, and thereby give to him and his Successors in the said See, Jurisdiction, Spiritual and Ecclesiastical, in and throughout the said Province of Nova Scotia, and its Dependencies according to the Laws and Canons of the Church of England, which are lawfully made and received in England in the several Causes and Matters particularly expressed and set forth in the said Commission and no other; And Whereas by another Commission We did also give and grant to the said Bishop of Nova Scotia, full Power and Authority by himself, or his sufficient Commissary or Commissaries to exercise the like Spiritual and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, within the Provinces of Quebec of New Brunswick and the Islands of St. John, Cape Breton and Newfoundland, as is set forth in the said Commission; We do hereby order and enjoin you, that you do give all fit support and countenance to the said Bishop in the exercise of his Jurisdiction Spiritual Ecclesiastical, according to the Laws of this Realm and the Laws to be established in Our Province of Upper Canada, and to the Tenor of the said Commissions.

You are to permit liberty of Conscience and the free exercise of all such Modes of Religious Worship, as are not prohibited by Law, to all Persons who inhabit and frequent the Province of Upper Canada, provided they be contented with a quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the same without giving Offence or Scandal to Government. 46. You are to take especial Care that God Almighty be devoutly and duly served throughout Your Government, that the Lord's Day be duly kept, and that the. Services and Prayers appointed by, and according to the Book of Common Prayer, be publicly and solemnly read and performed throughout th'e year. 47.

These Regulations therefore when established, must be made public throughout all Our American possessions, and they mast have for their object the giving every possible faoility to that Trade which the nature of it will admit, and which may be consistent with fair and just dealing towards the native Indians with whom it is carried on; the fixing stated times and places for carrying on the Trade and adjusting Modes of settling Tariffs of the prices of Goods and Furs and above all the restraining the Sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Indians, will be the most probable and effectual Means of answering the ends proposed. 56. And Whereas it is expedient for Our Service, that We should from time to time be informed of the State of the Trade and Fisheries, as well as of the Population of Our Baid Province of Upper Ca*nada ; It is Our Will and Pleasure that you do INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 67 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 transmit to Us through One of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and to Our Com" mittee of Our Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations for their Information' yearly and every Year a full and particular Account of the State of the Fur and Peltry Trade ; The nature and extent of the several Fisheries carried on by Our Subjects or others either on the Lakes or Rivers of the said Province, the state of the Cultivation particularly specifying the quantity of Grain, Hemp, and Flax produced, and of any other important branch of Trade which may in your opinion be undertaken and advantageously carried out by Our Subjects, The Number of Inhabitants distinguishing them under different heads of Men, Women and Children, inserting in such Account the number of Persons born, christened and buried, and any extraordinary influx or emigration from Our said Province, specifying at the same time the number of Slaves, and the number of Our Subjects capable of bearing Arms in the Militia ; the number and Tonnage of Shipping and Craft employed upon the Lakes and Rivers in, or contiguous to the Province of Upper Canada together with any other Information on these, or any other points of like nature, which may be proper to be communicated toU3. 57.

Whereas it is absolutely necessary that We be exactly informed of the State of Defence of all Our Plantations in America as well in relation to the Stores of War that are in each Plantation, as to the Forts and Fortifications there, and that more may be necessary to be built for the Defence and Security of the same, you are from time to time to transmit an Account thereof with relation to Our said Province of Upper Canada in the most particular manner, and You are therein to express the present State of the Arms, Ammunition and other Stores of War belonging to the said Province either in any Public Magazines, or in the hands' of private Persons, together with a state of all Places either already fortified, or that You may judge necessary to be fortified for the Security of our said Province, and You are to transmit the said Accounts to Us, by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and also Duplicates thereof to Our Masters.

And as a further accommodation to Our Subjects who shall become Settlers as aforesaid it is Our Will and Pleasure that the said Townships and the respective INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 79 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 allotments within the same together with the Lands to be reserved as aforesaid shall be run and laid out by Our Surveyor General of Lands for the said Province or some skilful person authorized by him for that purpose which Surveys together with the Warrants and Grants for the respective allotments shall be made out for and delivered to the several Grantees free of any expense or fee whatever other than such as may be payable to the different Officers according to the Table of Fees established npon Grants of Land made in the said Province. 34th. And in Order to prevent any persons disaffected to Us and Our Government from becoming Settlers in Our. said Province of Upper Canada It is Our Will and Pleasure that no Warrants for Surveying Lands be granted by you or the Lieutenant Governor or person Administering the Government for the time being unless the person or persons applying for the same do at the time of making such application besides taking the usual Oaths directed by Law also make and subscribe the following declaration in your or his presence or in the presence of such person or persons as shall by you or him be appointed for that purpose that is to say. " I A.B.—do promise and declare " that I will maintain and defend to the utmost of my power the Authority of the King " in his Parliament as the Supreme Legislature of this Province." 35th. Whereas the reserving such Bodies of Land within Our Province of Upper Canada where there are considerable growths of Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy is a matter of the utmost importance to Our Service it is Our Will and Pleasure that no grants whatever be made of Lands in any district or tract of Our said Province of Upper Canada until Our Surveyor General or his deputy lawfully appointed shall have Surveyed the same and marked out as Reservations to Us Our Heirs and Successors such parts thereof as shall be found to contain any considerable growth of Masting or other Timber fit for the use of Our Royal Navy and more especially upon the Rivers and you are hereby instructed to direct Our Surveyor General of Lands in Our said Province from time to time with all due diligence to complete the Surveys and mark out the Reservations as aforesaid in the most convenient parts of Our said Province and you are from time to time to report the number extent and situation of such Reservations And you are further to direct Our Surveyor General not to Certify any plots of ground ordered and Surveyed for any person or persons in order That grants may be made out for the same until it shall appear to him by a Certificate under the hand of Our said Surveyor General of Woods or his deputy that the Land so to be granted is not part of or included in any District marked out as a Reservation for Us Our Heirs and Successors as aforesaid for the purpose herein before mentioned and in order to prevent any deceit or fraud from being committed by the persons applying for Lands in this respect It is Our Will and Pleasure that in all grants to be hereafter made for Lands within Our said Province of Upper Canada the following Proviso and exception be inserted that is to say " and provided also that no part of the parcel or tract of land hereby "granted to the said... and his heirs be within any Reservation heretofore "made and marked for Us Our Heirs and Successors by Our Surveyor General of Woods " or his lawful deputy in which case this Our grant for such part of the Land hereby riven and granted to the said tns Heirs for ever as aforesaid and whicn found within any such reservation shall be herein contained to the contrary notwith- [I "shall upon a Survey thereof being made be \ " null and void and of none effect any thing I standing." 36th. And whereas it is necessary that all persons who may be desirous of Settling ! I in Our said Province should be fully informed of the Conditions and Terms upon which I Lands will be granted within Our said Province of Upper Canada in the manner prescribed in and by the said Act passed in the first Year of Our Reign You are therefore Bas soon as possible to cause a Publication to be made by Proclamation or otherwise as ■you shall in your discretion think most adviseable of the said Terms and Conditions re- ■specting the granting of Lands in which Proclamation it may be expedient to add some ■short description of the natural advantages of the Soil and Climate and its peculiar con- Ivenience for Trade and Navigation. 37th. And it is Our further Will and Pleasure $hat all the foregoing instructions to you as well as any which you may hereafter receive relative to the passing grants of 80 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 Lands in conformity to the said Act passed in the Thirty first year of Our Reign be entered upon Record for the information and satisfaction of all parties whatever that may be concerned therein. 38th.

Whereas the establishment of proper regulations on matters of Ecclesiastical concern is an object of very great importance it will be your indispensable duty to take care that no arrangements in regard thereto be made but such as may give full satisfaction to Our New Subjects in every point in which they have a right to any indulgence on that head always remembering that it is a toleration of the free exercise of the Religion of the Church of Rome only to which they are entitled but not to the powers and privileges of it as an Established Church that being a preference which belongs only to the Protestant Church of England. 42nd. And upon these principles therefore and to the end that Our just supremacy! in all matters ecclesiastical as well as Civil may have its due scope and influence it is-1 Our Will and Pleasure First that all Appeals to or correspondence with any Foreign Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of what nature or kind soever be absolutely forbidden under very severei Penalties.

Fourthly that no person whatever professing the Religion of the Church of Rome be ; appointed incumbent of any Parish in which the majority of the Inhabitants shall solicit the Appointment of a Protestant Minister in such case the Incumbent shall be a Protestant and entitled to all Tythes payable within such Parish but nevertheless the Roman Catholics may have the use of the Church for the free exercise of their Religion at such time as may not interfere with the Religious Worship of the Protestants aud in like manner the Protestant Inhabitants in every Parish where the majority of Parish- INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNORS 81 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Religious ioners are Roman Catholics shall notwithstanding have the free use of the Church for the exercise of their Religion at such times as may not interfere with the Worship of the Roman Catholics. Fifthly that no Incumbent professing the Religion of the Church of Rome appointed to any Parish shall be entitled to receive any Tythes for Lands or possessions occupied by a Protestant but such Tythes shall be reserved in the hands of Our Receiver General as aforesaid for the support of a Protestant Clergy in Our said Province to be actually resident within the same and not otherwise according to such directions as you shall receive from Us in that behalf and in like manner all growing Rents and Profits of a vacant benefice shall during such vacancy be reserved for and applied to the like uses.

COPIED FROM THE ORIGINALS IN THE POSSESSION OF M. DE LA ROGERIE. Montreal, February 29th, 1760. Sir,—I have decided to form two companies of grenadiers, drawing them from the soldiers of our troops, to march at their head, so as to give them more the appearance of a battallion ; and, as I propose to organize one of them here, I request that you prill form the other at Jacques Cartier, for which purpose you can select men both from rour own garrison and from the force at Point aux Trembles. Thoroughly versed as 'ou are in such matters, I will not tell you the kind of men to which preference should >e given. You will attach to your company two sergeants, three corporals and three luce-corporals, all colonials. As to the Officers I shall name them myself. You inderstand tetter than anyone else the good effect which this arrangement will produce n the expedition in question, and that it cannot fail to excite emulation between our iroops and the land forces ; for I am persuaded that these new grenadiers will hold heir own in every respect with the old ones ; and in order to place them on an equal ooting with the latter you will be supplied with what is necessary to provide them pith clothing and an advance of pay ; moreover they will receive one sol (per diem) of ixtra pay. I have the honour to be, most sincerely, your ve,ry humble and obedient servant M. Dumas. VAUDREUIL. Montreal, 1st March, 1760. Sir,—I have received the letter which you did me the honour to write me on the !8th of last month. I see with regret that we have to abandon the idea of drawing provisions from the outh shore. I am going to make a levy of oxen, and you will receive your share with- rat delay. M. de Bourlamaque has written to me about all these matters, and informs me hat he will despatch M. de Niverville with some Indians and a few smart, active sol- liers into the interior of the country towards the south, to observe the operations.of the English in that region, also to prevent the inhabitants from carrying supplies to Quebec, uid capture any English who may be sent to gather supplies, if they are few in num- ier, or escape through the woods if any considerable body is sent against them. This s, practically, all we can do circumstanced as we are at present. It is to be hoped the ifficer mentioned will not find too serious obstacles in the way of the fulfilment of his uission. You will enjoin on him to send you news as frequently as possible of what he 8 doing, and you will transmit all such information to me in exact terms. As M. de Bourlamaque will probably not make a long stay at Jacques Cartier, I ■rely wholly on you for all that concerns that frontier, as regards the carrying out of tuch instructions as that Brigadier may leave you when he shall take his departure. [1 am persuaded you will always do your best; rest equally assured, I beg, of the justice I render you. M. de Villejoin has no doubt handed to the storekeeper, Garand, the packet of fcails, because it was directly addressed to him. He did not forget it ; he put it in lis valise. CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 Although the branches of the trees are frozen, that should not delay the gathering of fascines. The habitants should cut the branches all the same, and as fast as they thaw, let them work at the fascines. This work is pressing. I learn that you have brought up and stored in Pichet's barn the flour left at Germain's; but as, by the time we shall require it, the condition of the roads will be suoh as to make it impossible to transport it to the foot of the hill, I beg that .you wfllj only keep enough flour in your fort to do you till the end of April, and to convey the rest back to Germain's, placing a guard over it, according to my previous directions. "We need not fear that the English will send out a detachment to burn it ; should they do so, our advance posts, or the inhabitants of the south shore, if they took that route, would discover the movement, and it might cost them dear. I have the honour to remain, Sir, most sincerely, Your very humble and obedient servant, VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Endorsed A Monsieur Monsieur Dumas, Major General Inspecteur des troupes de la Colonie à Jacques Cartiera Vaudreuil. Montreal, 4th March, 1760. Sir,—M. de Bourlamaque returned from Jacques Cartier yesterday evening, and i has made a report of everything, including the measures he has taken with respect to that frontier. I am satisfied that you will carry them out with exactness, and I leave everything in your hands I was all the time under the impression that you had carried off the meal from the mill at St. Augustin, then in so much greater quantity, and within so much easier . reach than what was in the mill at Lotbinière ; nevertheless I have learnt with regret that the English got the benefit of it. I beg, Sir, that you will give orders as soon as you receive this letter to M. de Repentigny, to seize any grindings that have been made or that are yet to be made at the said mill, and to remove whatever there may be. It is to be conveyed at once to Pointe aux Trembles, where the Commissary's clerk will I pay for it at 15 deniers a bushel, and three sols per league for transport. You will see that orders are given at the same time to the miller not to part with the ground meal; his mill will be the gainer in the end. The captain should also be instructed to keep a daily check, and to have the product transported at the end of every month to the stores of the Commissary at Pointe aux Trembles. You will also tell M. de Repentigny to keep a watch and see that the miller does not practise any fraud. I have the honour to remain, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant. M. Dumas. VAUDREUIL. I send herewith a letter for M. de Repentigny, which I beg {you will let him have at once. It encloses a packet addressed to the secretary of General Murai of which I know the contents. M. de Repentigny should deliver it by the first opportunity without ' appearing to have had anything to do with it. Montreal. 7th March, 1760. Sir,—You will receive this letter .by Mr. Martin. He has informed me of the object of his journey. It is to be hoped that he will have the success he has been led to expect, as anything he can get out of Quebec is greatly needed for the service. E have myself urged him to lose no time, and spare no effort, in carrying out this operation ; consequently Mr. Martin is to have complete liberty to go to Pointe aux Trembles, St. Augustin and even to Quebec, as may best suit his purposes, and you will besides give him all necessary facilities for obtaining a sufficiency of harness for the carting of 353$3EfS3 LETTERS OF VA UDREUIL, ETC 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 lis goods from Quebec. As, notwithstanding that, all communication must be inter- lipted between Quebec and Pointe aux Trembles, you will furnish him with vehicles from [t.

When ie stuff gets to St. Augustin, you will procure for him all the means and facilities in our power for having them conveyed to Jacques Cartier. I am writing a similar letter to K, de Repentigny. It is important to remove all obstacles in the way of the accomplishment of Mr. Martin's intentions, and I fully expect that in any matter under your control |ou will neglect nothing to that end.

Sir,—I am replying to the letters that you did me the honour to write me on the |3th and 7th of this month. We are really not in a position properly to equip our troops, still we shall do our mest for our companies of grenadiers. M. de Repentigny has forwarded me the letter written to him by M. Hertel : that Dfficer understands his mission very well. I am delighted with the good will of the habitants with whom you have placed ■Acadians. I shall not forget it, but will give them credit for it when the time comes. II am to observe that you had better send only the women and children of the Acadians Ito the people of Beauce and the remoter parishes further on the south side, as the men Imight not be able, or might not be inclined, to return when required to join the army. As regards the stores of food at Germain's, I must leave the matter in your hands. [Admitting that there is some danger, you know that we are compelled to leave these ■provisions in the depot in question, because there they are nearer at hand for embarkation, and because it would not be possible to move them in spring time. M. de Repentigny has informed me of the increase of force which the enemy have [sent to Lorette. We shall soon know what their intentions are. However things may Iturn out, I place great reliance on your vigilance and that of M. de Repentigny. It is necessary that you should officially inspect the stables of Sieur Langy, and, remove all the horned cattle not absolutely required for the cultivation of the land. IPlease to execute the order already given to you in this matter. You acted quite properly in sending to Three Rivers a soldier who was caught in the act of doing violence to a girl. I learn that M.

Sir,—The two Acadians who will hand you this letter are quartered at St. Pierre! le Becquet with their families. They complain, both on 'their own behalf and on that of the other families in the same parish, that the captain is sending them away. The in- habitants of the locality throw the blame on the captain, and the captain throws it on the inhabitants. The Acadians state that this captain is supporting his relatives ; that there are two other persons, Louis Bary and François Brisson, who have some (Acs- dians") with them, but who could support several more, as they are selling wheat. Be- ; sides there is the widow Baril, as well as the two sons-in-law of the captain, who have nobody billeted on them, and who are well able to support a certain number. I beg, Sir, that you will look into the matter and sharply reprimand the captain if he deserves it. You will also transfer the Acadians who are now in the houses of the poor to those of the well-off. These Acadians have told me further that the captain was making much of what he says you told him, that you did not trouble yourself about the < billeting of the Acadians. I find it hard to believe this because in all your letters you i expatiate on the attention you give to the matter.

It is very amnoying that nine soldiers should have deserted from us in three days. I have spoken to the Intendant with regard to what you mention as to the discontent ofj some of the soldiers.

Any one may make conjectures, ime will reveal the truth. I have handed the letters for the General Hospital to M. le la Roche Beaucourt and I believe I told him to send them only when you were at 'ointe aux Trembles. I am sending you letters for M.

Cadet, t would appear by his reckoning that you have enough of them to last more than one month. He told me that they weighed over 2000 lbs. on the average ; he assures me lositively that you will not run short. You cannot be too attentive to see that no mproper consumption of meat takes place. I think you had better conceal as much as possible the army and cause it to be believed that I am at Jacques Cartier or at Three Rivers. I am leaving without anxiety in regard to anything that may happen on your side ; the business is in good hands.

Continue to open all letters addressed to me. Copy of the letter of the Chevalier de Levis to M. Muray. Montreal, June 4, 1760. Sir,—I have been much surprised to learn that, against the faith of the cartel, ' you keep as prisoners the sick and wounded left at the General Hospital, and what astonishes me still more is that, contrary to law of nations and of all civilized people, you also keep as prisoners the police guard which I had left at said Hospital, in equal number to the one which you had during the siege. I declare, sir, that after what you did me the honour to write and what had been told me of your views I did not expect such proceedings. To crown such conduct all that remains for you to do is to restore the officers taken prisoners on April 28 whom by a sentiment of humanity I left at the General Hospital, accepting their word of honour, because they were wounded. As I am not positively informed of all I have the honour to mention, I will entertain doubts as to your having taken such extreme measures until you inform me of the fact yourself. I should be sorry if things were as they have been been represented to me, on account of the consequence that might ensue both on this continent and in Europe. A guard of 15 or 20 men and a few unfortunate wounded left in an hospital where your own people were, on the faith of the cartel, carmot have any influence upon the destiny of this colony, nor can such a class of prisoners be considered a trophy for the arms of His Britannic Majesty. Awaiting the honour of a reply from you, I have the honour to be, with perfect esteem &c. Montreal, June 5, 1760. I have received, my dear Dumas, your letter of the 2 June. It is very problematical whether the enemy will or will not move. You must always keep yourself ready as if they were to move, and nothing is better than the precautions you are taking with that in view. In the position you occupy you must make war without dividing your forces except to the extent that the enemy divides his. Your mission is to serve as guard and to follow the enemy's movements whether up or down the river. I quite understand that if the enemy resorts to manoeuvring, you will be compelled to take some risk ; I am persuaded that you will do it with wisdom and precaution. LETTERS OF VA UDREUIL, ETC 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 In the circumstances in which you are placed you will have to take the course that you judge to be the best for the service, and whatever that may be count on my approval of it. M. le marquis de Vaudreuil writes to you and intimates to you his intentions relative to what I have just said to you. I do not know if they have been able .to remove the cannons from L'Atalante at Pointe aux Trembles ; these could be used to arm La Marie. Make arrangements in regard to this matter with M. de Moubeillard. I It is an essential to have her well armed; we are having six gun carriages made which will be sent to her. I use strong language every day in order to forward the work and the departure I of the second galley, and in spite of everything she cannot go before Tuesday or Wednesday. Militiamen are also to be sent to you without delay to relieve those of Pointe aux Trembles ; also we send you tools and duplicate pieces to occupy 4 armourers, whom you will select from your own force ; there is one of them in the picket of La Reine. I have the honour to be with a sincere affection, my dear Dumas, your most humble and most obedient servant LE CHEVALIER DE LEVIS. Endorsed : A Monsieur. Monsieur Dumas Major General and Inspector of the troops of the marine, commanding the frontier, at Dechambeau. Montreal June 10, 1760. answered 16. I have received my dear Dumas, the letter you did me the honour to write to me on the 6th instant. I strongly approve your plans in the event of the enemy having passed you and attempting to ascend the river. As he cannot go up the Richelieu during the night, as every one asserts, you will be able to estimate his force and make arrangements accordingly to follow them. If you decide to withdraw from Pointe aux Trembles it would still be well to leave a small detachment there with one officer, in order to keep the habitants under arms, and in case of the enemy coming down the river again it will be much easier for you to resume possession of all your posts. I think it would be a very good thing also to send some officer to the south shore to keep the habitants under arms and warm them that the English intend to burn down their houses, and therefore that they must be on their guard. I am well convinced that you neglect no precaution for anticipating the enemy in any movements he may make. When a man does all he can no one should complain ; it is the Master of Life who decides all events. M. de Pontleroy thinks that the mortar which is at Dechambeau would be of more use at Three Rivers ; it is for you to decide the matter and do what you think proper. The same remark applies to certain pieces of artillery which M. Cornillo wants to have exchanged. Nothing new here. I hope the enemy will leave us quiet all this month. We will fight during the next, and we shall have peace in August. You know, my dear Dumas, the sentiments of sincere affection with which I have the honour to be your most humble and most obedient servant. LE CHEVALIER DE LEVIS.

I have received, my dear Dumas, your letter of the 29. M. le Marquis de Vaudreuil has approved all the arrangements I have made on our frontier and also my instructions to you. 10 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD Vll., A. 1906 I am surprised to see by the statement furnished by a clerk of the commissary that five hundred rations per diem have been drawn at Pointe aux Trembles; we had only calculated on 400 ; it is true that these rations were taken at that point before j your arrival. I am persuaded that. you have put everything in proper shape there. I Rations must be issued to effective combatants only. You cannot be economical enough in the matter of meat, because notwithstanding what the commissary says, I fear that you will run short of it. M. le Marquis de Vaudreuil is Jiaving orders given to send militiamen to relieve j those who have remained at Pointe aux Trembles. You may tell them it will be] done without delay. They are hard at work at the galley but I do not think that she can be finished] for a week yet. I know how necessary she is for you and I will hurry her departure as much as possible. I am still uneasy about the crossing of Jacques Cartier River; you cannot tool strongly urge upon M. de Repentigny to be on the look out and station there all the I boats he can get hold of. It is very essential that you should collect as many batteaux j as possible for your use ; you understand as well as I do how very important this is. I strongly approve your idea to construct rafts for the crossing of rivers St. Anne,| Batiscan and Champlain, if it can be done, and even at Jacques Carrier, if possible. I have recommended M. de Longueuil to see to the crossing of the Chenaux (St. Maurice). : I have also directed Mages to do so. I do not know what can be done with the prize of M. Meinvieille; to bring it byi water does not seem to be possible ; by land it would be difficult ; it is essential, how-! ever, to get the pork ; see if you can find means to make something of it. M. le Marquis de Vaudreuil and I are much surprised that that news was divulged; you see the consequences of it. Several persons wrote about it to people here, for example M. Dauzat ; tell him not to take it into his head to write news in future ; the same | advice should be taken by all the gentlemen of the land troops ; as for those of the] marine you can teach them their duty. M. Imbert also talked about this matter. I do my best to have them put in confinement, but I doubt whether the General consent. Nothing new on the frontiers. We must await events. We shall strike hard will will the first chance we get.

Montreal, June 13, 1760. answered 16. I have received, my dear Dumas, the letter you did me the honor to write ; I strongly approve the round of inspection which you have made ; you will better understand the ground. If you have to retire and should any difficulty arise you will be in a] position to overcome it. You have acted very wisely in removing the cannons of L'Atalante and I quitej approve of the distribution you have made of them. Men are at work building gun carriages for La Marie and I will have others made next for the remaining pieces. It would be of a great advantage for your post if you could establish bridges of: rafts ; I hope you will neglect no means to make them a success because safe communi-j cation would thus be established between all your posts and you would have an easy means of retiring in case you might have to do so. As for the robbery of the treasury it is an unfortunate affair. The public can not put the blame on you ; it is impossible to guard completely against such accidents, and the only thing you can reproach yourself with is having allowed the treasurer to absentj himself. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 11 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I write to M. de Pontleroy to cast cannon balls for the artillery you have removed from L'Atalante. You must have received the armourer's tools and the medicines lor the hospital. I expect that the galley will sail tomorrow to join you ; see to providing I, crew for her as best you can, either with Acadian militiamen or regular sailors. Request M.

A prodigious accumulation of correspondence has been the cause, my dear Dumas, mi my not having sooner answered the letter you did me Lhe honour to write, but that ■has not prevented me from attending to what you mentioned concerning your promo- tion : I have spoken of it several times to M. de Vaudreuil who is very well disposed ■towards you and, as far as that goes, only does you justice, but I have not succeeded in ■persuading him.to recommend you as brigadier ; he mentions, however, all your merits to the court. For my part it has given me very great pleasure to do you justice and make known all your worth. I like the idea you put forward and I feel that you have la chance of fortune in a military sense ; I think that you might through solicitations, fcbtain that promotion at the end of the war, that is to say at the termination of this campaign, because I have no doubt we shall have peace by the end of August. Be persuaded, my dear Dumas, that on all.occasions I shall have very great satisfaction in Ico-operating in anything which may be agreeable to you. Therefore, you can always make use of me with the certainty that I will do all that depends on me in that respect. I wish much that the month of July may pass as quietly as this one has done. General Amherst has answered us ; he is on the frontier of Lake Champlain ; I prefer him to be ■there than on the St. Lawrence. If the garrison of Quebecreceives no reinforcement lM. Muray will not be in a position to do much. I assume that you have had time to Iput all your batteaux in as good a condition as was possible. You cannot too strongly ■advise your galleys not to run undue risks. I am in constant apprehension of their ■capture. I am going to make a visit to Isle aux Noix ; if there as no movement in that ! direction I shall be able also to'go and see you.

The Marquis of Vaudreuil strongly approved of your arrangements. He answers you on every point so as to relieve you of anxiety in regard to anything that may happen. It is very 12 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VIT., A. 1906 • essential that you maintain your position as long as possible. There is reason to think that the enemy in your region are only trying to create a diversion', and if they land they probably will only do it in places where they do not see any armed force. That is why it is most important to keep all the shore under arms and to show our men ; everywhere as much as possible.

Endorsed :- LE CHEVALIER DE LEVIS. -A Monsieur Monsieur Dumas, major general, inspecteur des troupes de la marine, commandant à Dechambeau. March 6th, 1760. Sir,—I answer the letters you did me the honour to write me on the 28th and 29th of February and on the 1st of March. We are taking measures every day for having boards and planks made ; branches will also be got ready for making fascines according to your order. I went to Pointe aux Trembles the day before yesterday to draw the men for a grenadier company. I was not able to complete it on account of the absence of a number of the best men who are employed all the time in scout duty. I instructed M. de Repentigny to finish the work. I intend to go to Pointe aux Trembles to morrow to have another look at the company. It will be far from presenting a very fine appear-! ance, though I have taken the best and best looking men we have. M. de Maloise has informed me that we must not count on any portion of theirl clothing being provided, because there is nothing of the kind in the King's stores. In that case it will be a pretty ragged brigade. They must at least have head-gear and it would be well to choose the highest kind, otherwise the troop will not be presentable. They also want uniform leggings or else Mitasses. M. de Hertel writes to me from St. Michel. He seems to have properly seized the] object of his mission. The inhabitants continue to be very well disposed and will re] ceive some of the Acadians if I can send them on. They are in dread, however, of] being burnt out by the enemy, threats having been made to that effect. In conformity with the arrangement made by M. de Bourlamaque I am sending tc Beauce 88 Acadians, so far relieving the parishes of St. Jean, Lotbiniére and St. Croixl The inhabitants of Beauce have in this matter given evidence of the utmost good will] The missionary was at the point of death ; by this time he must be dead. M. de Bourlamaque will have reported to you, Sir, the alarm we had in regard ta Germain's store, and the order that was given for transferring all the provisions ta another place. The interest at stake is of such a nature that the slightest danger cause! alarm ; but on the second day after, the difficulties involved in embarking the supplie! caused a change of opinion, and things remained as before. A guard has been on duty there since your first order on the subject, Sir, and oil that day it was not changed owing to insufficiency of men in the fort, but I have seej to that matter since. As regards risk there may, Sir, be a certain amount of it, for what takes place oil the river is not visible from our advanced posts ; and if M. de Repentigni were pressed! as he might be at any moment, then indeed there could be no safety. The enemy has been making movements on a large scale'towards his advanced post during the last three days. What the object is I cannot divine. M. de Repentigni i keeping a sharp watch, but it does not appear that it is his post they are aiming at, fa they would not in that case so distinctly warn him to be on his guard. What is gcini on may possibly be the result of the visit of M. de Bourlamaque and of the sending c some pieces of artillery to Pointe aux Trembles. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 13 ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I have always forgotten to mention to you, Sir, that M. de Langy resisted your last Ider, as he did the first, and would not allow an inspection of his stables ; but more Icuse may be made for him than for another man, for he is of weak intellect and does it know the mischief he is doing. A soldier of Benoit's company was caught in the act of doing violence to a young |rl. I am going to have him taken to Three Rivers. It is my earnest hope, Sir, that you were satisfied with the report M. de Bourla- laque made to you of the state of things on this frontier. I will pay close attention to I the arrangements made and all the orders given to him. 7 March, 1760. Sir,—It was not by my orders that the mills were stopped but by those of the lievalier de Levis, but I confess that I made no enquiry about the one at St. Augustine. j was embraced naturally in the special instructions to M. de Repentigni, as those of Ie south were in those of M. de Celoron. I ought no doubt to have taken cognizance I it, but I was misled through the confidence which I reposed in M. de Repentigni, and \y belief that he had given the necessary instructions. All that, Sir, does not do away ■th the fact that I am in the wrong. I am giving all the orders that are consequently Icessary, and I answer for it that they will be executed. Your letter for M. de lepentigni is being sent at once. The Chevalier de Levis has done me the honour to write that your intention is to ■-establish correspondence with Quebec in order to get from there a quantity of things fat we have need'of, and to facilitate it as much as possible while taking all necesary lecautions in order that the enemy may not be informed of our interior movements. That may perhaps be difficult, but I will use my best endeavours in the matter, lie planks and other sizes of wood, as well as the fascines, will soon be well under 9th March, 1760. I have the honour to report that the Acadians and the inhabitants with whom they Ie lodged alike refuse to make the journey into Beauce. After this first clearing out mras intending to make a second for the lower parishes, the inhabitants of whioh had Icepted the burden with the best grace in the world ; but the difficulties in the way | the first will have still greater force in regard to another. Do me the honour, Sir, of imforming me whether this transmigration is to be ëcted by force. In that case there is reason to fear that the enemy will get word lit, and will oppose its being carried into effect. Herewith, Sir, you will find a copy of the instruction I gave to Sieur Seuillt, and I the letter which he wrote me from Lotbinière, after which he returned not having Isceeded any better at St. Croix I received the two letters which you did me the honour to write me on the 7th, th the one enclosed for M. de Murrai. M. Martin will find here all the facilities ■rich it rests with me to furnish, and I will follow your instructions in every detail He will leave, tomorrow for Pointe aux Trembles, and, conjointly with M. de Ipentigni, he will send forward the letters for M. Murrai. I could have wished, Sir, that you could have fixed the number of men to be em- lyed by Houle on the basis of the extent of the undertaking he has in hand. He is it the kind of man to abuse his privilege, and extend it to all the parishes of the ith shore. He has already talked to me of 200 men to be entirely exempted from ihtary demands. If he absolutely requires that number there is no use in expecting ioions or fascines in this part of the country. It is reported that the ice-bridge has wen. way as far as opposite the powder magazine. The enemy is making a redoubt at lint Levi with the wood of the building shed, and yesterday they dragged in twelve linon ; it is said they mean to mount twenty-two. 13th March, 1760. Sir,—I received at midnight the letter you did me the honour to write me on the ■th. M. Desrobert will be guided by your instructions ; those you gave me for a new ly of cattle are in course of execution. I could say a thousand things to you, Sir, on Is subject; but I can no longer do aught than obey. At'the same time I must observe 18—15* 14 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906| that it is absolutely impossible to follow out in this levy the second article of your inj structions on this subject, signed by yourself and the Intendant under date the 9th September, 1759. In the first levy which was made at that time the article in question was not! followed out either, owing to the impossibility of doing so ; and I had the honour to! report the matter to you by my letter of the 20th of December. The census made sub] sequently by Sieur Perrault, confirmed by statement of the case, and the levy made! accordingly with your approbation would have rendered the thing more difficult still, ii impossibility admits of a less or a more. I am convinced that the orders I have given are at once the most prudent and the most in conformity with the spirit which you bring to the task of government ; and l! flatter myself that the inhabitants will not make any opposition ; but, Sir, we are onljl destroying the live stock of the country without assuring our subsistence. In my lettei! of the 5th ulto. I had the honour of informing you that 125 horned cattle had onbl yielded 14,550 pounds of meat. The quality is bad, the soldiers do not like it; andi even so, it will fall short unless a supply arrives from Montreal without delay ; for wheij the roads are broken up it will be impossible for any to come down. Then we shall have to begin on the horses which are the one resource of the country people for getting their land sown; but would it not be better, Sir, if there is anything left to levy oil these regions, that these animals should be kept alive, so as to serve later for the subsis! tence of the army than to kill them now. I beg you, Sir, not to regard this as a remon strance for your order is in course of fulfilment at the very moment I write. It is tru! at the same time that, as the levy can only be made after the inspection, you will still have time to send another courier. It is to be hoped that M. de Langi will compl; with the order given. Within the last three days nine men of the colonial troops have deserted. At firs! I attributed this desertion to the lack of proper food ; most of the soldiers who with the farmers complain greatly of the fare. M. de Repentigni assures me, however; that their dissatisfaction is on account of their pay. It is difficult in fact for a captail to keep accurate account with his soldier at a distance of fifty leagues. Every mai!) complains of some mistake, in regard to which no one here can give any explanation and consequently regards himself as wronged, protests against the injustice with wMci he is treated and goes away discontented. The form for payments on account proposed by me to M. de Guerdissien, for whicl he obtained the approval of the Intendant and of which you yourself, Sir, approved, waj doubtless the best. I don't know why M. de Guerdissien did not insist on having i| followed. It was for him as Commissioner entrusted with the police of the troops Û make such representations on the subject as circumstances demanded. Some serious harm may result from this lack of system. I am fully persuaded tha I he did not foresee the consequences of it, but that arrangement having been made witl me, he ought to have apprised me of the change he was making, and I should the have had the honour of making representations to you and to the Intendant, founded o| reasons so solid, that I cannot doubt you would both have felt their force. A remed must, however, be found for the mischief already done, so as to obviate disastrous coil sequences ; I cannot myself think of anything in the way of a suggestion. It is said that M. Murrai has spent two or three days at Point Levi. They ai working as hard as they can at that post. This multiplication of posts does not impll weakness in the garrison though it may result from weakness of administration. All the works ordered for next month are in progress. All hands are busy, an] not a moment will be lost ; but we have not enough hands and the quantity will faj short. Everything is being prepared so that as soon as the streams are running til mills between here and St. Augustin will turn out the requisite planks. 15th March, 1760. On the strength of a letter from M. de Longueuil informing me of a detachment a the enemy that has started from Lake Champlain in order to push on to Quebec 11 once despatched M. Le Borgne with a detachment of 300 men, of whom 150 were soil LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 [iers from Pointe aux Trembles and an equal number militiamen chosen from all the parishes in the upper part of the government of Quebec. That officer will get what news [he can at St. Nicolas, and will proceed to occupy the passages over the Chaudière near [the falls ; while M. de Fleurimont with his scouts will explore the parishes to the south so as to be able to apprise M. Le Borgne of the route the enemy is following and of the jmoment of his arrival. I would have given orders for occupying a position on the Duchêne river, had I not been afraid that the enemy would already have crossed it when my detachment arrived. All the work in hand suffers by these movements, for the yards are all upset, but jit is impossible to do any better. This morning the bakery caught fire and in a moment the whole of that building [which contained also the magazines was wrapped in flame. Very little was saved for [as the powder magazine was surrounded by flames, owing to the north wind driving [them towards it, the people were all obliged to withdraw to a distance. We were expecting an explosion when the wind changed. Then M. Dameville with great bravery [got some men to work with himself to extinguish the hot cinders that were covering [and surrounding the powder magazine. The powder was saved but it was a kind of ■miracle. M. de Landrieve is sending to the Intendant a statement of what we have left ■after having made an exact search everywhere in order to remedy the thefts which lalways take place in like circumstances. You will have seen by the letter which I had the honour to write you on the 15th ■that the least military movement had a very injurious effect on the works that have ■been begun. On the receipt of your orders of the same day I would have detached 100 men ■from Pointe aux Trembles to proceed to the reinforcement of M. Hertel's detachment, ■although M. Le Borgne already has 150 men from there with him, but M. de Repentigni Ihas since yesterday been in the midst of an alert. I subjoin copy of a letter that I ■have just received from him. I sent to him at once all the Hurons that were left and 60 men taken from the two pickets of regular troops (troupes de terre.) If M. de Repentigni's alert does not amount to anything, as soon as I am ■enlightened on the point, I will detach the 100 men for Hertel. You will not have a Ichance, Sir, again to give me the same order twice. These 100 men will have to be taken ■from the garrison of Pointe aux Trembles, because there are neither Canadians nor ■Acadians who are not employed on making fascines or gabions, or in squaring timber |for necessary purposes. They had to be divided into squads working gangs for making (gabions and pickets, so that when you take away one man you disturb four. If we weaken M. de Repentigni in this fashion would it not be prudent to with- fdraw the two cannon from the fort. They seem to me much exposed 18th March. 1760. Sir,—I am allowing the inspection of stables to proceed. It has been going on in ■the- parishes since the receipt of your last orders on the subject. It will furnish mccurate information as to the supplies we may count on when the army arrives, |whether we have to take all or only a part. All the troops of the colony are at point aux Trembles. You are aware, Sir, that ■there remain here only the two pickets of the land forces (regular army). M. de [Repentigny is doubtless sending the return asked for by the Intendant. I had the honour, Sir, of reporting to you that acting on information from M. de Longueuil, I had sent off a detachment ; a further letter informs me that the alarm ■was a false one. I have instructed M. Le Borgne to detach 100 men to join M. de ■Eertel and return to Pointe aux Trembles. A man from Quebec has assured me that, the day before yesterday, 800 men left lhe town and crossed over to the South shore with three pieces of artillery. That, no fcoubt, is what caused the alert at Pointe aux Trembles. The report, however, needs confirmation, because M. Taché who left Ste. Foi in the evening of the day before ■yesterday knew nothing of it. 18—15 \* 16 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 The slightest movements (and they are frequent) cause work to be suspended ; but everyone is busy, and all that is possible will be done. M. Senbertt arrived yesterday. All, Sir, who bear your recommendation will be well treated wherever they go. 19th. March. Sir,— By the letter you did me the honour to write me on the 17 th it appears that others as well as myself gave you an account of our fire. My story was short, succinct, but true ; the style was the style of a man whose conscience testifies that he has done < his duty. H6 who apoligizes in making his statement feels that he has need to do so. On |p occasion in question our great peril was in the beginning. As soon as the roof had fallen in and the wind had changed, it was possible to approach the powder magazine, j not without risk but with hope of success. M. Danserville arrived at that time, whereas when I ordered all to go away, there was nothing left to do, but everything to risk. Moreover all precautions were taken, Sir, to save the goods and prevent stealing ; and as to that there was so little of it that I have not heard the thing mentioned, except in explaining the reason for the disposition I made of the guard. As to the construction of ] the powder-magazine I had the honour to say something about it to you in a letter of the 29th November, but I now furnish more precise details. A square excavation was made on the slope of the cape, ten feet from the bakery, in the middle of which there rises a frame work of planks on end, forming the sides, by j no neans straight and showing light through in many places. The covering remains. ( You can judge, Sir, from this brief description that when a whirlwind of flame was] surrounding such a magazine, there was very little that could be done to save it. But I] only withdrew the garrison when that was the condition of things. Officers, artillery-] men, soldiers, workmen, all alike did their duty. M. M. La Noix de Noyelle and littlel La Naudière, who by chance were on the spot, worked like the rest. There was never any question, Sir, of transferring to the fort the flour from] Germain's place ; but had it been done there would have been no risk on the occasion referred to, the shed of the commissary being far removed from the main building which! was consumed. If, Sir, it is owing to dread of fire that our supplies of flour have been! kept outside, such a precaution might have been more usefully taken in respect to our] powder, which is to say the least, as scarce, and at the present moment quite as precious! as our food supplies, to say nothing of what might happen in case of accident. I only] say this by way of reply to reiterated fault finding on the subject of the flour-suppliesJ I may add that M. Bourlamaque was here at the time, and that nothing was done without his approval ; that the countermand was given before receipt of your letter ; and] finally that a subaltern is in great luck when he sees with the aid of reflection what his] superior takes in at the first glance. Is he to be held guilty for having less experiencej and perspicacity than his master ? M. Le Borgne returned to Pointe aux Trembles after having detached 100 men ta join M. de Hertel under the orders of M. Montmidi. Seven or eight Hurons acted ad their guides. I misunderstood the letter that you did me the honour to write me or' the 14th ; I thought you meant only Indians from a distance who might happen to be at Pointe aux Trembles. I have just explained your intentions to Father-Giraud, who.] I undertake to say, will do his best in the matter. The Indians however are so tired] out this winter, subject as they are to continual alerts at Pointe aux Trembles, that 1] ïear it will be difficult to raise more than a small number of them. There is no confirmation of the reported sortie from Quebec southward. I art quite in the dark about it. A sentry has been placed on the bakery which is now outside the fort. I do no neglect any precaution and have never neglected any. M. Laudrieve watches the] rations most scrupulously. I have the honour to represent to you, Sir, that it has become very necessary tha there should now be a superior officer here. The works are pressing and they are no making progress. I do what I can, but a superior officer with more power, mon authority, more self-confidence, could surmount difficulties before which I am powerless LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 17 | SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I should be*in despair were I to be held responsible for the delays which there is »reat cause to apprehend. The request I have the honour of making would spare me [that mortification. , The officer who comes need only bring a bed with him ; the rest of Lis baggage can come with the army. This matter, Sir, surely merits your attention, Eor I have no hesitation in saying that facts prove that the works ordered will scarcely ■be finished by the end of April, with the number of men now employed and the alerts [that are continually taking them off their work. 20th March. Sir,—The advance guards of M. de Repentigni were attached this morning. They [were drawn by a feint towards the Brule village and while they were posting themselves [there Le Calvaire was carried by another column. Thereupon I sent him reinforce- Inents of 180 men and ordered that the garrison of the fort should be strengthened, [after which I went to Pointe aux Trembles. M. de Repentigni, I found, was on the land of Joseph Doré, in about as good a position as a place admits of where you can be [driven out by a flank attack. We conferred together and agreed that if the enemy [advanced to-morrow, he would defend the ground inch by inch, and that I should see ■that as he lost ground he should get fresh men. The habitants reported to M, de Repentigny that the enemy numbered 1500, that [they had vehicles laden with provisions, ammunition, and tools. It does not appear, how- Isver, that any cannon were used in the attack on Le Calvaire ; while two prisoners ■made by our scouts a little before the attack report that only 500 men left Quebec with three days provisions but without any other preparations ; but they speak of a second laorps commanded by Colonel Owelet (?) which was led to Ste. Foi, of which they know |7ery little, but which left with the same object. It may now be there to support the ■first in case of need, or even to undertake a more important exppdition, which however, ■I can hardly believe. There again are our works abandoned owing to the continual necessity of raising the militia. Permit me, Sir, to renew the request that I made to |you yesterday to send a superior officer here. Circumstances absolutely demand it. As Hong as I could suffice for the work I did my best; but assuredly your expectations would Inot be fulfilled if the business remained longer in my hands. I will continue to give Ball my attention to it under the orders of another. The prisoners report that no detachment has been made for the south, and that the ordinary guard at Point Levi is of the, same strength as those at Ste. Foi and Lorette. Our deserters give as the ground of their discontent the pay and the rations. It |was a man named Lafleur, a soldier of the colony, who led the enemy to Le Calvaire. |M. de Repentigny is afraid there have been a good many other desertions on this occasion. 21st'March. Sir,—I send a courier specially to inform you that the enemy retired this morning pfter having burnt the mill at St. Augustin and the sawmill. M. de Repentigni has resumed his position at Le Calvaire. I am not yet fully Informed of what took place. M. Naume who will leave to-morrow will bring you a fetatement. 22 March, 1760. I reply to the letter which you did me the honour to write to me on the 18th. In sending two cannoners to Pointe aux Trembles I detailed for working them two ■naval officers, two gunners and eight sailors. These are all the officers I can send there, M. Danseville being alone (here). I have but one gunner for each cannon and since the (defence) works were started I have had to attach one to each company of the ■militia to see to the distribution of the work. I was unable to send more than ten soldiers with the detachment of 100 men Iprdered to reinforce M. Hertel. The letter you did me the honour to write on the 14 is worded as follows : " In order to increase this detachment by 100 good men to be Itaken from your troops and from amongst the Acadians who are not employed in Inaking fascines and gabions " ; now, Sir, there is not in the whole Quebec government b single Acadian or Canadian who has not his assigned task. 18 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 I have the honour, Sir, to repeat that all the preparations ordered are infinitely delayed by continual alerts, and, most certainly, we must not expect that these works will be ready by the date appointed. Nevertheless the presence of a superior officer might create a more vigorous" activity. M. Taché received permission to take out some liquor from Quebec. M. Martin proposed to me to send him there again for the purpose of his mission ; and he had a hand in this arrangement as might he supposed considering the deep interest he takes in the public service. Your letter for M. de Murrai was sent to M. de Repentigny while the enemy was at Le Calvaire. This could have been used by him as a pretext to reconnoitre their : position ; their retreat will, however, have rendered anything of that nature superfluous. I have received by an Acadian a letter which you did me the honour to write me on the 16, relative to the parish of St. Pierre Le Béquet. I am going to send an officer ; with instruction to settle their difficulties. The captain had come to me to state that his parish was"not in a position to feed the number of Acadians quartered on it, and I had referred him to M. de Longueuil who might possibly afford the necessary relief by sending part of the Acadians to the upper portion of his government. All my letters, j Sir, have referred only to the Acadians quartered in the government of Quebec. Those i in the government of Three Rivers have not as yet given me any anxiety. I thought | it would have shown a want of respect to M. de Longueuil if I had done the smallest! thing in that part of the country ; the only advantage I took of your orders was to ask > the captains to perform the most indispensable service on the frontier of the two governments. March 22, 9 P.M. Sir,—I have the honour no transmit to you a letter from M. de Repentigny who ; writes you the detailed report of that last affair, l'ou will see that it cost us about : eighty men. The grenadier is reduced to 33; and we cannot so much as complete it' from what we have here. M. Lenoir, who will leave to-morrow morning, will tell you: the pretexts for desertion alleged by our soldiers when they get to Quebec. M. de Repentigny asks for permission to keep 25 men of the pickets of Bearni saying he cannot do without them ; How are we to manage1? I shall not have enough men left here to furnish a guard for the flour depot and three sentries for the Fort. Yet one is absolutely required at the guard-house, one at the powder magazine and one at the treasury. You will order, Sir, what you judge advisable in this matter. I enclose, herewith, a statement just received from M. Hertel. At the moment of writing] I receive a note from M. de Repentigny who informs me that the enemy is marching to make a fresh attack upon him. If this is correct M. de Murrai has no doubt determined] to dislodge him, and this can only be upon the report of our deserters who will have fully explained his position and his weakness. The militiamen I had assembled to go to his relief the last time are discharged. It is hard to say how long it would take to get them together again. If he is to be attacked it will be at day break. There is nothing to fall back on. Herewith is a copy of the letter I am writing (to M. de Repentigny.) I do not doubt, Sir, that you will despatch M. de Bourlamaque on the receipt of my letter. His presence here is positively necessary. You must have a view of the situation through his eyes. March 23. Sir,—M. de Repentigny is informed that the enemy is marching through the woods either to turn his position or to come straight here. On the upper part of River Jacques] Cartier traces of snow-shoes have just been discovered showing that the River was crossed but that the partie* turned back without having ascended the farther bank. I sent some scouts at once to follow these tracks. It is reported that there are at Ste Foi 7 cannons and one mortar with 50 or 60 sleighs loaded with ammunition and provisions.. M. de Repentigny is directed to send scouts into the back country and to keep himself ready to withdraw in case he learns that the enemy has gone beyond him, or at] the first notice from myself. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 19 ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I am asking M. de Longueuil for two pickets from the regiment of Languedoc and I a ordering out all the militiamen. M. de Bourlamaque would be a good man to have sre at this moment. March, 24, noon. Sir,—Neither the scouts of M. de Repentigny nor mine have yet returned. The re of Pointe aux Trembles is leaving for Montreal, and I give him this letter in order tat no one may arrive without bringing you news from me. As soon as I get a clearer ew of the situation I will send a courier. I must not conceal the fact that there are hole parishes where everybody is sick, and you will easily judge that all these move- ents cause the works we have in hand to be neglected. The sieur Houle could not find in Lotbinière or any where round there suitable lood for his business sufficiently close at hand. He came to ask the authority of M. de longueuil to try elsewhere and I have sent him to that officer. March 24, near midnight. Sir,—The alarm was a false one neither the scouts of M. de Repentigny nor mine ■ave discovered anything. The difficulty is over for the present. The enemy turned ■at 1,500 in number solely to repulse our advance-guards, which would here cost us ■most nothing had it not been for the shocking desertion that ensued. A scotch de- ichment sent to Lorette upon the false information that an Indian party was there, ie terror amongst the inhabitants, the preoccupation of the day before—these were the §3urce of all the false reports. The snow-shoe tracks at River Jacques-Cartier end at pme beaver huts, M. de Fleurimont who scoured the woods to within two leagues of Burette reports that the route is a splendid one. The loss sustained by M. de Repentigny in the last affair, the bad temper of our troops, our manifest weakness, the discouragement of the militia of Pointe-aux-Trembles and St. Augustin have decided me to ■rait for the two pickets I have asked for from the Languedoc regiment. I have, furthermore, ordered 150 men of the militia, to be carefully chosen from all the companies. I ■ave directed M. de Fournoire to make the levy and have expressly enjoined upon him o see that the militiamen bring with them the largest supply of provisions they can, Irom ten, twelve, fifteen to twenty days rations, even, in flour, which I shall order the lerks of the commissary to take over without delay. This little ^reinforcement will irobably restore confidence, although it may not quite enable Pointe aux Trembles to lesist the attacks the enemy may make on its advanced posts. M, de Repentigny, likewise, who knows now better than ever the weakness of his ituation, is very desirous, Sir, that you should send him three hundred militiamen from ■Montreal, the elite of the voyagueurs, with whom he would hope to take down the pride )f the Scotch, in case they should again come swaggering around his lines. This would ,eem to me, Sir, all the more necessary owing to the fact that it is very important to «how a respectable front, in order to allow those in the rear time to labour on the works lhat have been ordered the delay of which may cause a more important matter to mis- larry. I do not know, Sir, whether my conduct will obtain your approbation, but here lire my principles : A small measure of credence for the various rumors which reach me, koupled with the habit of not wholly overlooking any one of them, but of comparing one ■with another, always considering the advantage or the loss the enemy may hope or fear ■in an operation ; the knowleage he may have ; what it is natural he should be ignor- lant of ; and in a defensive situation taking no risks. Now on this occasion in ■question all the advices pointed to the same thing. The route by which our position is [turned could not be a better one ; our weakness and the dissatisfaction of our troops are ftknown by the report of 50 deserters who, interrogated separately, will all have told the [same story. To delay our preparations for the opening of the campaign is the advantage ■which the enemy would hope to gain by dislodging M. de Repentigny, but they do not [know the succour that we may receive nor the time necessary for that. Under such [circumstances, measures of precaution and an attitude of distrust are, in my opinion, [called for. I have the honour to enclose to you, Sir, a letter written to M. Hertel and his [reply thereto. He had previously written to me on that subject, and through an am- 20 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 bigious expression I had been left in doubt whether he had allowed 500 bushels of wheat to pass to the Ladies of the General Hospital, or whether he had retained them. 1 answered him on this in conformity with his instructions and I see now that he did not depart from them. I have sent him shoes, a few pounds of vermillion, and other small necessaries for his detachment. This officer is constantly aslring for reinforcement! He finds it hard to comply with that article of his instructions which orders him to re! treat if he is attacked by a superior force. It would appear that the works the enemy is building at Point Levi are not of great consequence ; there are three redoubts and three cannons, but all for plunging fire, with what range is the question. I received this evening the letter you did me the honour to write on the 22. ! caused the two prisoners to leave the same day for Three Rivers ; circumstances hardll allowed me to interrogate them except in regard to the movements going on at the timejj I am writing to M. de Longueuil to have them sent on promptly to Montreal. I sen! away at the same time a sailor called Joseph who has been guilty of disgraceful conducl and who, through shame, would certainly have gone over to the enemy ; he is on eduj cated man and might do a good deal of harm. As there is no complaint against him, I am not sending him away as a criminal, but as a suspect, and one who ought to be kept1 in confinement. I am very sensible, Sir, of the kindness you show me. If you are convinced that! am doing my best you do me justice ; but do not suppose that the arrival of M. dl Bourlamaque would be disagreeable to me ; I would serve under him with more satis tion than I do now in full command, and I am entirely persuaded that his presence would have a good effect here. Tn any case I will omit nothing to respond to your; confidence. It is now midnight as I conclude this, and I hear that the alert is renewed at Point! aux Trembles. M. de Repentigny writes me that he gets the same advices from all! quarters. Always the same double project of turning his position and coming here tri the rear. I can hardly persuade myself that M. de Murai would announce such an ex4 pedition in advance,- if he desired to attempt it. It is reported that the enemy has a boat ready for Louisbourg. It is said that then are going to make sgme entrenchments on the Island of Orleans. So many things are] said that it is very difficult to get at the truth. March 26. Sir,—I am in receipt at this moment of a letter from Quebec. I am assured posij tively that the plan of M. de Murai is to attack Pointe aux Trembles and Jacques Car4 tier. My informant adds : " Keep on your guard day and night, if you do not want to be burned." I judge that the scheme is to send one corps through the woods, whilsH another will amuse Pointe aux Trembles without decidedly aiming at forcing out M. del Repentigny. I will have scouts constantly on the move. M. de Repentigny will have] some also, and when we know that the enemy is marching by the rear with a certain] force, I will order the troops at Pointe aux Trembles to fall back. All the works are suspended here, but M. de Longueuil has ordered the militia can tains of his government not to take off any of the men engaged in moving earth with] wheelbarrows or in any other engineering work ; as all the best men of the parishes are] so employed, I cannot depend on that government for anything. I am still asking for] the two pickets of the Languedoc regiment. For want of men everything here is in] peril, both the post and the flour depot ; it is time to think seriously of it. I am asking M. de Longueuil for two other pickets from the Languedoc Regimen» and 25 grenadiers commanded by a lieutenant. That will give us a little more solidity] and, this movement of land forces (regular troops) if the enemy is informed of it, will] perhaps make an impression on them. March 27. M. Legris has arrived and my letters are not ready ; not to detain him too long, 1 will send a courier during the day. Things are in the same situation. I have provided to the best of my ability for the safety of every thing. I shall have the honour w\ furnish you with a detailed statement, this afternoon. I await the night news from Pointe aux Trembles. f LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC iESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 March 28. Sir,—I have received the letter which you did me the honour to write on the 3th. If the advices which I receive are correct, the first sally of the enemy was for [lie purpose of dislodging M. de Repentigny; but the excessive cold which prevailed the lay they attacked our advance guards, prevented them going farther, many of their en being frost-bitten in that first operation. I could not understand what induced ![. Murrai to put 1,500 men into the field for so slight an object, and with artillery Ihich was not used ; but no doubt he reserved that for the later results of the expedition. [s is reported that, on the 24th, a similar detachment marched out for the same object, lut that before reaching Lorette, news having come that M. de Repentigny had been minforced considerably, a courier was sent to M. de Murrai, who ordered them to return ■ter sending on 8 men to reinforce the post at Lorette. This is further confirmed as I write by a man from Quebec. Nevertheless the enemy is always willing and ready > turn out in force, either to oppose our enterprises or to resume his own, if, according B> that custom of ours upon which M. de Murrai has already made many pleasantries, ||'e send back our reinforcements as soon as the alert is over. I had the honour to report to you, Sir, that I was asking for four pickets from the lianguedoc regiment and 25 or 30 grenadiers. This is about the whole of the regiment ; ■1ère will remain with the flags little more than the officers. Three of these pickets have already arrived ; of these two go on to-day to Pointe"" ax Trembles. The two others will be lodged in the six houses nearest to Germain's more ; they will furnish a guard for it and will patrol it every night to prevent any Ifctempt on that depot. I would never have taken the responsibility, Sir, of removing ie provisions which it contains after your reiterated reproach to me for having thought t doing so, and in view of your express order of the first March to leave them where Biey are, in which you even contemplated the case of steps being taken by the enemy I) burn them. I say nothing, Sir, of many private letters in which the writers arrogate m> themselves the right to criticise my slightest movements. At present, Sir, it is very Uncertain what is the best course to take relative to the removal. It would seem that ie enemy wishes to turn our position by marching through the woods, and the route he would follow in that case is the best imaginable, the distance being only two leagues •om Charlesbourg to the Jacques-Cartier River, which brings them here on a fine ice }ad. Their artillery however will not come by that route. Their advance will dis- idge M. de Repentigny, naturally, and from that moment the regular road is open. In lat case the provisions would be in greater peril in the Bois de l'Ail than at Germain's, nd we have no room for them in the Fort. The only thing to do is to have them projected by the troops. The alert is not yet over, Sir ; we are close to the month of April, and by the 10th lir 12th of April the army is to be on the march. How can I send back the pickets? | A retrograde movement like that would only tire and harass. The troops also would lot have time to rest before starting again, and who might be wanted here meanwhile. Is I have had the honour to tell you Sir, M. de Murrai knows perfectly well that the îlief we afford to Pointe aux Trembles is there one day and away the next ; and if its ■rrival arrested the expedition, its departure might very well cause operations to be re- limed. To this must be added that, so long as our advanced posts lack a certain con- ■stency, we cannot expect any engineering work to be done. The inhabitants of the leighbourhood are almost out of their wits. Everything is done spasmodically, and ■verybody's brain is in a whirl. The number of militiamen raised in each parish is very ■nail. I did not care to take any but the best men, and nearly all declared they were jlck, so that a parish whose quota should be 15 men only furnishes 4. But they have 11 brought rations for ten days. I shall have the honour to forward to you by the next jlmrier a statement of our force and of the mouths to be supplied both here and at Pointe lix Trembles. Enclosed herewith, is the census of the cattle with a statement of the i v which seemed practicable. It must be observed that all these animals are pitifully Kan. I still hope, Sir, that M. de Bourlamaque will soon come to take the command of ■ e frontier; the business is important enough to justify his presence ; but I pray 22 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 you not to believe that I find it absolutely beyond my own strength. No doubt I shall get infinitely less advantage out of it than he would ; but it may be just as well in my hands as in anyone else's, and I only wish to hand it over to him because calumny has been too readily listened to this winter, and because a thousand people useless for any good purpose have dared and are still daring to speak against me. Informers of this class find influential persons to encourage them, and any man who slanders me is sure to be well received. When such a state of feeling exists it is painful to be in a position of responsibility in a place where matters may at any moment become critical. It is not in your judgement or in that of M. de Levi, nor even in that of the' Court that I have any anxiety as to justifying my conduct past or to come : but how am I to subdue the monster, Envy ! you alone, Sir, possess the power to strangle it, but unfortunately what concerns me is a matter of indifference to you. The time has flown when your kindness and your confidence made up to me for all contrarieties. At this moment I am told that the English, having a number of sick, have tried sending some of them into the neighbouring parishes to see whether the country air would restore them to health, but that the experiment has not succeded. All the in- ■ formation I get is to the effect that sickness is making more serious ravages with them at present than it has done at any time during the winter. They bury the dead with their ; clothes on to prevent contagion. They have requisitioned blankets in Beauport and Charles bourg, paying nine livres apiece for them. All the news contained in this letter is again confirmed as I write by two men whom I had sent by the rear as far as Charlesbourg, and who went on to Montmorency I Falls. They add that the inhabitants of the island of Orleans are ordered to evacuate 1 by April 15. I sent yesterday, a deserter from Point Levi who came from the South. To-day I I gave another one from Quebec to M. Legris. March 31. Sir,—The distribution of the Languedoc regiment made as I had the honour to 1 inform you on the 28th. I have in the Fort 83 men for sentry duty belonging to the I land forces : As above.. Colonials. . Acadians.., Canadians . .83] 8 I '9fi >-130 men ".13 J This number divided by three gives 43 sentries for the guard, who have to furnish ] five sentinels during the day and eleven at night. This is quite insufficient to defend j the post which, according to appearances, is not at present in danger of attack ; but it is strong enough to watch" against surprise or fire, the latter a thing always to be dreaded, since two or three men, induced by a high recompense, might attempt it and, ] even succeed in it, if we were not upon our guard. According to the distribution of the troops at Pointe aux Trembles, as communicated to me by M. de Repentigny that] post is still only safe through the belief in its strength. In point of fact M. de S Repentigny will never muster more than three hundred men to oppose the enemy ; he ,; asks me for the two last pickets of the Languedoc regiment, which I really think in ] that case he requires ; but who will guard the food depot ? Who will furnish the guard for Deschambaut at the artillery depot ? In the mean time I am obliged to recall the militia from Cap Santé. The multiplicity of the posts and the number of saw mills in] that parish, which are working for the King, require hands ; then besides, a certain quantity of fascines already begun must be completed. I have not yet made up my mind about all this, but between now and to-morrow I shall take the course that j seems the most suitable under present circumstances. It has always been contrary to military theory that M. Murai should have come] to attack me here ; but we often see a General setting theory aside in order toactouthis[ own character, especially when there is a chance of doing it with no little éclat as wellj as pyofit. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 23 ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 You have seen, Sir, by the letter whioh I had the honour to write you on the 28th at I anticipated your desires in the matter of reconnoitering. It appears that the Inglish have built blockhouses at Point Levi, less for the purpose of occupying them an to ensure the embarkation of their detachment when we march against it with tillery. Everything points to the conclusion that M. Muray meditates a retreat to the land of Orleans. In that case he will move as soon as the season permits, or else he 11 prepare for doing so the moment he knows his defenses are undermined ; on either pposition it is to be expected that he will blow up the place. The ice bridge on the river will not last long. A fall of snow that we had yester- ,y, and which is melting fast will cover it with water. M. Hertel has not yet been sturbed ; judging by appearances, he is not likely to be ; the ice bridge once gone, the ,d roads only will prevent him from sending us provisions ; we shall see whether that •stade will be insurmountable. M. Lenoir had no doubt political motives for speaking in Montreal differently from hat he had done here concerning the desertion of our soldiers. I could repeat to you, e very terms he used, but what is the use 1 Besides, Sir, the desertion was no conjec- re of mine, although it was antecedently probable and I had the honour of mentioning to you entirely upon the faith of what M. de Repentigny told me and the confirma- m of people from Quebec ; but if there is no truth in it all, it is better to have had isoners taken than to have lost the same number through desertion. April 1. Sir,— I cannot help sending M. de Repentigny one of the two pickets on duty at [e flour depot ; the other one will have to furnish the guard there as well as at the fcillery depot at Deschambault. In two days now the ice wil be so soft that no danger ed be apprehended by that road ; but soon afterwards the opening of navigation will he the enemy a new facility no less dangerous to us than the first one. In these circum- mces shall we evacuate the Germain store and transfer the flour to the barn of widow chet, where it would be out of danger, because the enemy will no longer be able to me by the rear ; or shall we leave things as they are, and send one of those pickets to linte aux Trembles ? If the army is to come down immediately after the opening of [vigation, we might risk it ; but if there is any delay in its coming, that plan would | too hazardous in my opinion, since two barges well armed could come and burn [ur store, and the whole affair would be over before there was time to think of pre- [nting it. Give such commands, Sir, as you judge most suitable. I do not think that pre can be any risk before the return of the courier. I have sent on two sailors belonging to a Spanish ship, deserters from Quebec, lerably educated, who confirm anew the sickness and mortality, prevailing there ; and >: general that information comes from all sides. The spring season must have produced ingular revolution. I am despatching tomorrow a trusty man whom I will send as r as Orleans Island. I am interested in penetrating the intentions of the enemy in ation to that Island. April 3. Sir,— M. de Repentigny kept me waiting some days for a statement of the nuni- jr of mouths at his post and yesterday he fell sick with a high fever. He was bled [once and today again he has been bled twice. I have the honour to forward to you iply the statement of the consumption at this place. If the sickness of M. de Repentigny -were to become serious it would be necessary I replacing him. I beg that you will give me your orders on that point. If before I leive your orders the state of M. de Repentigny should become so much worse as to Itify it, I will ask M. de Longueuil to send M. de Montesson. We have no more shoes. There was unavoidably a certain consumption of them [ Pointe aux Trembles, and the detachment of M. Hertel, in addition has totally bausted the stock. I have the honour to enclose to you, herewith, a letter written to me by M. Hertel. |s Indians have really left him ; some of them have already passed this way. 24 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906: M. de Figueri sent me two boxes containing portraits of your family. I sent them on immediately to M. de Longueuil. I am waiting for news from Quebec; I hope to hear something reliable. Dp to -the present moment we may infer from the hasty way in which the English are burying their dead that they do not intend to remain inf the town. The works have been resumed and are getting on pretty well, but we must wait j until the small rivers are free to start the saw mills ; in the mean time we are providing! them with logs according to their several capacities. M. Martin has succeeded in getting out fifty bushels of salt which have been put in the stores of the commissary general at Pointe aux Trembles. He sent back M. Taché! yesterday, and is making it his chief business to procure all the articles which have been! asked for. April 4, 1760. Sir,—I am sending under the direction of Sieurs Rouffio and du Saut a man j named Thomelet, citizen of Quebec, whose family is divided, half having taken refuge! at St. Augustin, while the other half remains in St. John suburb. Continual comings! and goings between the two halves of the family, and the many acquaintances they have! made with the enemy have brought these people under suspicion. I suspect this man of having been sent towards Three Rivers to spy out our movements. These suspicionsj may be without foundation, but several persons confirm them, and it is best to be on the safe side. I am just back from Pointeaux Trembles where there was an alert last night. The' English had turned out 500 men, no doubt upon an alert they had had themselves,! They retired and so did we. I have learned that M. Murrai received couriers from General Amherst the day before yesterday. It would appear that it is a reply to the advices sent by him to the! effect that he was in danger of being attacked, because the first question asked by the! couriers when they arrived at Point Levi was if Quebec was taken. I learned that these couriers brought to M. Murrai a commission as colonel. It would seem that they have no other news than what they received in reply to dispatches J sent after the taking of Quebec. M. de Repentigny is still sick, but I hope the sally of last night gave him a chancel for the better ; at least it looked like that when the men returned. The Indians of M. Hertel have left him. To-morrow I will send him eight from! here, and I write to M. de Longueuil to try to send him ten or twelve ; it is to be hoped that this will enable him to hold on. April 5. Sir,—The two men I sent to Orleans Island have returned ; they say that the! rumour which was current respecting an order for the evacuation of the Island was founded on nothing more than a remark made by a certain officer, who, happening to! be at St. François said to the inhabitants : "If our squadron arrives you may prepare j " to evacuate, because there will be no chance for you to do your sowing" ; moreover,! that no order was issued by M. de Murrai on that subject ; and not only so but that! the fascines made by the inhabitants are to be transported to town at once. The same men assure me positively that M. Murrai has caused the arms taken from the inhabitants of Chateau-Richer and l'Ange-Gardien to be returned to them, and that 1 those inhabitants not understanding the motive of that proceeding are very anxious, ] fearing that it is intended to shut them up in the town. Their anxiety appears to me ! without foundation ; at least it is not a correct conclusion to draw from the conduct of j the enemy, who would not need to arm them in advance for that purpose. The alert of the preceding night took place under the precise circumstances I] had the honour to explain in my last letter. The enemy thought M. de Bourlamaque had arrived here, and that he was marching in force against their posts. I am assured [ that only the ordinary guards remained in the town. Yesterday, again, a few barrels of salt arrived here. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 25 ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 April 7. The works ordered are now making good progress ; I hope that everything will be [ady to embark on the arrival of the army ; but as I have already had the honour to ■serve, we shall not have any joists before the small rivers are free. M. de Monbeillard has communicated to me a statement of the horses required for Le field artillery, and he puts the number at 91 ; I have taken the strictest measures [ comply, with this requirement but if these parishes have to meet the demand they 111 be ruined. However everything will be ready in case of need. But as to the [bsistence of these horses that cannot be procured here. In brief, Sir, 1 hope that the Hvance of the army will not be delayed by anything depending on my foresight, ■cause I am busy day and night trying to facilitate its progress. M. le Chevalier de Levi does me the honour to signify to me that you have deter- [ined that the flour shall be embarked. As soon as the ice is gone I will at once send [e two pickets guarding the flour to Pointe aux Trembles. The English have still 500 men at Lorette. This keeps our posts in a state of ■prehension, hence arise false alarms. M. de Repentigny had another one yesterday lorning. The health of that officer is much improved. I do not know how M. Hertel will manage ; the departure of his Indians makes me ■xious ; the very utmost I could do was to send him four. It is to be hoped that M. | Longueuil wÙl be able to do better than that. The St. François Indians as they Issed here were in an ugly temper ; taking offence at a moderate reproach I addressed I them for having left M. Hertel they went out in an abrupt manner, and I learn at ttièy killed some pigs on their way home ; they are quite capable of doing worse, lose from Becancour behaved better, but they are all gone back to their village. I Ive no news from Quebec, but to-morrow I will send a man who has my confidence, |d who always brings me correct information. M. de Monbeillard will no doubt enter into the detail of the work he has done for I le Chevalier de Levi ; he has found no obstacle in connection with any matter in rich help was to be expected from me. He is going to have a pontoon constructed on o boats for the crossing of the Jacques-Carrier River, although all the inhabitants of |s locality on being consulted, declare that it will not answer the purpose. I do not know, Sir, if you will take part in the campaign, but I cannot express the fcire I have to see you, to pay my respects daily, and to repeat to you a thousand aes the wish I have long entertained. I am not writing to M. de Rigaud. I entreat you to remember me to him and also I Madame la Marquise. April 12. I Sib,—An act of burglary and theft was committed last night in the Germain store, I two soldiers of the Languedoc regiment, one of whom, being on sentry, favoured the «rations of the other. A patrol coming up, the robber took to flight. A barrel of lur was found in a sleigh on the ice and a barrel of peas broken open in the store ; ■thing therefore was lost. When the provisions are put on board thé schooner, this luble will cease, but we shall have to look out for the barges. I arrested the entire lard in order to discover the guilty parties. One of them is under arrest ; search is l.ng made for the other. I will await your orders in regard to this. Hereafter one* leer will go on duty with the guard at this depot. The river is free opposite Quebec from Anse des Mères on the North to Chaudière Ills on the south. If the mild weather had continued there would be no ice left ; but the ir days we have had of severe cold have consolidated it, and no matter what the lather may be there will be ice for eight or ten days yet ; if the cold keeps on it may «n last longer. M. de Repentigny has entirely recovered. I should not have thought of M. de Intesson to take his place if M. Le Borgne had been senior to the captains of the land Ices at Pointe aux Trembles. He is a reliable officer in every respect and I fully ' ognize him as such. I do not see that M. Hertel can expect a new supply of Indians. M. de Longueuil, om I asked to send at least a dozen, writes me that Launière? is with their band, but CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 19oe| that they are all dispersed in the woods making sugar. I understand, Sir, all the im! portance of M. Hertel's mission, but how can we help himl Shall I send him soldiera without shoes ? His own detachment is short of them, and besides we shall expérience the same inconveniences again as we did last winter. I have the honour to enclose to you, Sir, one of his letters together with a manifeste! from M' Murai. I will put M. Hertel in a position to refit his boats, provided that hs[ finds oakum. I have sent him some rosin. I assume that he will find some calken] near there ; if not I will send him some as soon as our boats are in order. I do not see any greater probability of the enemy's attacking us at present tharj during the winter. Their operations would be more hazardous on account of the! disembarking ; and if it were done at Point Levi they would have more trouble in fol lowing our detachment by land, because of the bad roads, than they would have had] this winter on snowshoes. Furthermore, if all that is said be true, M. Murrai has verj'j few men left ; I believe he finds it very hard to keep up a good show. All the newi received for the last three weeks tells the same story of sickness and mortality. N<1 body denies that, no one says the picture is overdrawn ; and if we allowed ourselves tJ trust common rumour we should conclude that there are not at present in Quebec 2,00(1 men under arms. I think it is politic to appear to credit this information, and, I do s< accordingly to the best of my ability ; but in sending it on to you, Sir, I feel it my dut}] to say that we should be on our guard against the exaggerated reports of a people whi are blinded by their misfortunes and their desires. I have the honour to submit to yovj an'exact account of the reports made to me. It is for you, Sir, to make such abatement a< your prudence may suggest. I expect the arrival in a few days of M. Gautier who is J man of good sense ; from him I may perhaps receive somelight, having sent word to him m try to bring me some news of interest. I gave notice to M. Hertel of the approaching arrival of the army, and I added that I had no doubt that the inhabitants would heh/j him if he should be attacked, since they are on the eve of being delivered from all theia fears. The English make frequent movements at Lorette and Ste. Foi ; most of them an occasioned by false alarms which they receive, and which in turn they communicate tcfl our advanced posts. I sent off this morning a prisoner or deserter from whom I have not been able tcj| obtain any positive information, but generally sickness and mortality. It is reported that the enemy are transporting their fascines to the Côte d'Abraj ham. Their movements indicate much disquiet, and if they continue we might wel meet them in whole or in part at their advanced posts. It is even said that they ventun to boast of it, and it would be giving us a great advantage. M. Murrai, I think, is toa good a military man to do that. It was said to me, in fact, that arms had been returned to the inhabitants o:j Chateau-Richer and Ange-Gardien, but that a few days later they had been reclaimed' I do not believe a word of all that. The manifesto which I have the honour to enclose to you was published at Charlesjl bourg by M. Cugnet. The inhabitants showed so little interest in it that M. Cugnefl had the reading of it all to himself. Then he ran after them and spoke in exaggerate™ * terms of the mildness of the British government, the goodness and the power of th| King of England ; but he was told that they had no need of all that ; that all thejl asked was to be allowed to live in peace and await the decision of events. The people are working as hard as they can, at making gabions and fascines. It is quite possible something may be behind hand on the arrival of the army, but the utmos| will have been done. Any shortage will more likely be in fascines than in any thin{| else, because they are being made at Point aux Trembles where the inhabitants are called off their work. We had been assured that the saw-mills would be going a week before the opening of navigation, nevertheless everything is at a stand still. I am asking to-day for sawf yers from the troops to do the work. M. Landrieve submits to the Intendant a statement of our consumption ; I se«| that we shall eat the cattle of the neighbourhood before the arrival of the army ; whet; I say the neighbourhood I mean between here and Three Rivers. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 27 [ SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I am anxious to know, Sir, what you have decided on relative to horaes for the [artillery ; if they must be raised in this part of the country I do not know how the sow- •ing will be done. There is no possibility of keeping a single Acadian; they not only desert but, what ] is worse, carry off the rifles belonging to the service. April, 14. Sir,—The news concerning the prisoners captured by M. de Langy being sent to [M. Martin, he communicated it to his associate in the hope that that indication of [peace would determine M. Murai to allow more freedom in leaving the city. I did not [think there could be any harm in that. According to the reply received by M. Martin [it would appear that M. Murrai is without news from Europe ; he begs M. Martin to [ascertain the names of these officers, to furnish them with money, and to learn from [them whether some promotions, have not been granted to the officers of the garrison at [Quebec. He is persuaded that if a Congress has been assembled we shall have peace. [Consequently the facilities of getting out are renewed. Since my last letter the news is that sickness is diminishing in Quebec. The enemy continues to make sorties in force Upon the least alarm. The depot of their ■fascines is inside and outside St. Louis Gate. The weather keeps cold ; people are still ■ crossing the river on ice everywhere without danger. April 14. Sir,—I have received the letter you did me the honour to write on the 10. If we can manage to leave the horses with the inhabitants some more sowing will be done. You will have seen, Sir, by the "letter I had the honour to write to you on the 12th, that I was unable to reinforce M. Hertel, for want of shoes. The need in that respect lis so pressing that it is hardly possible to patrol around the advanced posts. It is to be ■ hoped that he will not be attacked. In our present situation we are compelled to trust I a little to good luck. The horned cattle that we levy in the parishes, in accordance with the note I had I the honour to write you, are so lean that they furnish next to nothing. What we obtain ■ in that way does not suffice for our daily consumption, and we have eaten the 22 oxen ■ which were marked, so that on the arrival of the army, supplies of this nature will be exhausted as far as Ste. Anne, and there will be nothing left but the animals of the ■ upper parishes whence we have not been able to bring them on account of the giving away of the ice which happened while the operation was in progress. We must adopt I the plan of leaving only one cow per house from Ste. Anne to here. This will give I about 130 cows, which will make up perhaps for the 80 oxen that you want and I will I immediately issue orders for the necessary levy. You have given your orders, Sir, throughout the whole government of Montreal and that of Three Rivers for the marching of the militia. In what manner do you mean to have it carried out in this government ? The ■ best plan, I think, would be to enlist none but good men, so as to avoid having useless I mouths, and at the same time leave in the parishes some one to do the sowing. • I beg I you will direct me on this point and indicate approximately the date for mustering. Ah ! how I long to be on the road to Quebec. I am anxious about the passage of I the army at this point ; the least thing may delay it here and the . worry this causes me is inexpressible ; but still I flatter myself that, in such a case, you and M. le Cheva- I lier de Levis will do me the justice to believe that I have done my best. April 18. Sir,—I had the honour to intimate to you on the 14th that I was giving orders to ■ levy 130 cows to take the place of the 80 oxen that you wished to be reserved at the I Pointe aux Trembles for the subsistence of the army. At the same time we were rais- I ing for this garrison the cattle noted in the census made on the north side by M. de I Rigoville. The loss of a number of the animals during the winter and the excessive I leanness of the remainder,—one third of the beasts at least were too weak to stand— I have reduced the produce of this levy to almost nothing, and we are on the point of be- I ginning to eat the 130 cows destined for the army, which will not last beyond the end 28 ■CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 of this month, because a third, as before, will have to be deducted, while the excessive leanness of the remainder produces only a very small amount of meat. I am sending M. de Fournoire, Sir, expressly to represent this matter to you because I believe that it is absolutely necessary to embark oxen at Montreal in the store- ships to follow the army, otherwise it runs the risk of not finding one ounce of meat upon arriving here. M. Landrieve reports upon this matter to the Intendant. Not less necessary is it, Sir, to' bring down the number of horses required for the artillery, with hay and oats to feed them, as well as for the cavalry, because every thing is exhausted in these parts. I have no news from Quebec, but I have sent a man there and I expect him back to-morrow evening. M. de Repentigny has had an attack of indigestion and his fever returned yesterday. He hopes, however, that it will not amount to anything. I would have gone today to Pointe aux Trembles but for the incessant and imperative demands upon my time caused by the preparations necessary in order that the army may not be detained on arriving here. The patrols of the enemy gave an alert yesterday again to our advanced posts;- the latter are wide awake and do not mean to be taken by surprise. It would not be suitable for me, Sir, to ask you to dismiss a militia captain belonging to M. de Longueuil's government, but I am laying my complaints before that officer, in order that he may make the application to you himself. Seven militiamen of River Batiscan deserted from Pointe aux Trembles, led by Sieur Jean Trépanier, aide-major. On the complaint of M. de Repentigny I sent a sergeant and a few soldiers to look them up in their parish. The captain allowed them to hide themselves,' and deceived me by stating that they had not been seen ; I know positively that this was false and at a critical time like the present, I consider it important to arrest the stream of desertion amongst the militiamen. Consequently, I have begged M. de Longueuil, to request of you, Sir, the dismissal of Sieur Villeneuv, captain, and Jean Trépanier, aide-major. The ice begins to break away. Perhaps it may move during the night, but embarkation will not be practicable for a week yet on account of the shore ice. Collated urith the Original Belonging to the Société Archéologique de Tarn-et-Garonne by H.P.B., 21 Nov., 1905. M. le Général, 29 May 1760. Sir,—The schooner commanded by •the Sieur Minviel has taken three prizes off the Pèlerins. I have the honour of forwarding you packages of letters that have reached me by a courier sent from Cape Mourasca and by Sieur Durand Dumer who found me at Pointe aux Trembles. I have seen with pain in one of these letters j written in French that peace is not near. It would be very acceptable to this colony. I do not see, Sir, that it would be possible to defend with fewer men the district i between Pointe aux Trembles and this place. However when you have conferred with St, le Chevalier de Levis, you will be better informed. What can I tell you that he has thought of ? I must nevertheless inform you that notwithstanding the strict search I have had made for boats available on both sides of the St. Lawrence, I know not how to procure the number necessary for the passage of the rivers behind us, for that of river Jacques- Cartier, for the depot to be made at river Ste. Anne ; and consequently they will not be sufficient for making a bridge at Jacques-Cartier. If the enemy should reach the I river and our detachment be forced backv what would become of it 1 But we are today more than ever obliged to trust to luck. You are now aware, Sir, that M. Volf was only placed at Pointe aux Trembles, while awaiting M. de la Roche Beaucout. The latter is established there and I think the business is in «good hands. In making my recent round of inspection I cut off, conformably to the orders of M. de Levis, all useless consumers. The commanding officers here will carry out the instructions and I will myself see to everything here and elsewhere. BETTERS OF VA UDREUIL, ETC 29 SESSIONAL PABER No. 18 There is no news of any other vessel down the river. The English are having [are made on the Isle of Orleans. They continue to shut themselves up in the town. |t is said however, that the English commandant will allow the women to enter the bwn. I will do my best to discover news of what is going on there, notwithstanding |II difficulties. I believe that M. Martin would be very useful at this place in more | îan one way. I cannot express to you, Sir, with what satisfaction I have seen the renewal of lour confidence. The a&surances you do me the honour to give me, are all that I could fish. I wish everything had been perfectly satisfactory to you, but in war everything lepends on circumstances and the public always judges after the event. I shall be too lappy, whether I lose or win, if you are persuaded of my good intentions and of my lesire to do well, and also of the desire I shall ever cherish to merit the continuation of |our goodness. P. S.—I have given to Sieur Seville, who left before the courier, the letters from peur Durand du Nièvre to the Commissary General. 31st May. I have the honour of addressing you a note from M. Duparquet to M. de la Roche |eaucourt by which you"will learn all that we^know ourselves. M. de la Roche informs me, and I hear it from other quarters, that the English ■liage and greatly ill-treat the inhabitants of the environs of Quebec, and it is greatly lared that the neighbouring parishes will soon be burned. News reaches me from several quarters that the convalescents and the guard of the |eneral Hospital have entered Quebec, and we are assured that there are seven vessels | Ile aux Coudres, four of which, are large. We are as yet unable to do anything for |ck of boats to maintain communications but we will fight. I do not think that until e arrival of reinforcements the enemy will dare to pass me and make a fight at Three livers. Should he do so, however, I should be forced to recall my advanced posts and Kid them to protect the parishes of this extensive government. Then I would rest my it on the Ste. Anne river, extending along the shore up the river, as I do here. Were forced to fall back,, would you, Sir, approve of this disposition ? I am doing all I can I collect and calk the boats ; but it is slow work. It is said that the sick at the General Hospital, as well as the guard, have been |ide prisoners of war, that Captain St. Charles was hung, and that M. Tropes Martin ■ much embarrassed. His servant has this moment arrived, and leaves with the lurier. We have here too large a store of provisions in the present state of affairs. I have ■cided to leave with Germain supplies for only 13 days each for Jacques Cartier and linte aux Trembles, and as much for this place. The remainder will be put on board a schooner which will anchor above the chelieu. I think this is the wisest course. It is stated that the prizes taken by M. Mainviel are the cause of the embarrass- Int in which M. Tropes Martin finds himself. 2nd June, 1760. ■ le Général, Sir,—I am sending to M. le Chevalier de Levis letters addressed to him by M. de llartic. You will see what they contain. I will only add that M. de Murrai has ■ermined to move forward immediately without awaiting the arrival of reinforcements. I cannot be ignorant, despite all our precautions, that M. de Levis has left and that m troops are dispersed. By a letter written to M. de La Naudière it seems that his Iject is to proceed direct to Three Rivers. Do me the honour to give me your orders, leg of you, in case he takes this course. You will have seen by the letter I had the honour to write yesterday to M. le fcvalier de Levis the measures I am taking to avoid being obliged to abandon much of I provisions in the event of the manoeuvres of the enemy forcing me to retreat. They II be carried into effect but it requires a little time and favourable weather. I am ly anxious, Sir, that this arrangement should meet your approval. j 18—16* Ï-H ■ 30 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 The manoeuvres of the enemy by the river are the only ones that cause me any uneasiness; for, as for landing in front of us, I do not believe he will dare attempt it, and if he should, he might perhaps regret it. We would defend the position with obstinacy. The merchants of whom you bave done me the honour to speak in your letter > of arrived yesterday. I did not judge it advisable under present circumstances j to allow them to proceed further. M. de Murrai has adopted a tone of violence which'impresses and frightens every j one. He has only to arrest these people under some pretext, and from that moment, to prove they are not your spies, they will become his. Thus he will gain a knowledge of everything in the colony and the distance between our different corps. He is] sufficiently clever to take advantage of everything. I will await fresh orders from you before allowing the merchants to proceed] further. Continue I pray, Sir, to be persuaded of my good will, of my desire to act for the j best, of my eagerness to merit your approbation* and of my inviolable attachment to 1 you. I am &c, P.S.—I have only enough sailors to man the first galley, and I despair of finding] enough for the other. I am asking for guns from Three Rivers for the crews. I count! on the first galley sailing immediately. I am writing to M. de Longueuil, as to what transpires from the General Hospital so | that he may hold himself in readiness, and establish signals so that all his government f may take to their arms at the first alarm. 3rd June, 1760. Sir,—I reply to the letter that you did me the honour to write me on the 1st inst.1 I was at Pointe aux Trembles when I learned the news of the prizes taken by Sieurf Mainvielle by the agency of Sieur Dunièvre. During that time a courier coming byf the South shore had crossed to Jacques Cartier where I found the news known, the] following day on my arrival. I am aware of the importance of this news under the circumstances, but such newsj travels fifty leagues before it reaches me. There should be reliable persons everywhere, ] but this is not possible. However, all practicable measures must be taken. All ourj boats are in such a bad state, that eight calkers working industriously can) only repair one a day. I am chiefly engaged with the question of the passage of the) rivers, but I am afraid the object will be ill accomplished. The day after to-morrow I count on going to Ste. Anne, to see if a floating bridge! can be made. There and at Batiscan, the timbers are on the spot. I believe this will I soon be. done. I shall employ a man named Houle from Lotbinière, who is- the man to do the work when I have given him the idea of what is required. The only useless mouths we now have are the wives of the soldiers who have! neither hearth nor home. Can they be sent away without provisions for their subsis-j tence elsewhere? The severity of M. de Murray intimidates every body ; but we always have some one on the look out for news. I have here, Sir, only the number of sailors required for the first galley. I could send you, nevertheless, eight or nine men, but should not then have onej left for the second galley. Being uncertain as to what would be most agreeable to you, | am I to let them go 1 I believe that M. Lenoir's boat passed this morning, before the arrival, of the) courier, carrying a flag. My sentinels having received no reply to their signals, fired, on it. I will send M. de Malartic the vehicles he may ask. I immediately despatched the Sieur Deslandes with all you did me the honour toj prescribe. These men have left but I believe they are making a useless journey. I LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 31 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 M. de Murray has been apprised of our prizes by the crew which have arrived at I buebec on the boat which Sieur Niaudière allowed them to have, and immediately set lut to recapture them. I even learned that his expedition had recaptured the first prize and that it was Iroing further down to attempt to retake the others, and it was reported to me that he I ad sent a large detachment by land. One labours with much confidence, Sir, when one enjoys that of his general. Never || ave I been so much at my ease, for I see you are disposed not to hold me responsible [pr events beyond my control, and that as long as I do my best, I shall be held blame- Kss. Rest assured I pray you, I neglect nothing, but the means are altogether wanting. I am &c. If M. Cadet does not take immediate measures to send us meat, we shall certainly lie short in our supplies, for he has made a mistake in his estimates. If my orders are xecuted, I shall render an exact account. We have no other news than what you will receive from the officers who have left Hie General Hospital. Two inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Quebec have been arrested by M. de la toche Beaucourt as spies of the enemy. Four English prisoners, deserters from Montreal, have crossed to the south shore ; no have been arrested at St. Jean Dechaillon, The inhabitants are in pursuit of the there. I will send them by the first opportunity. I wrote to M. de Longueuil to in- >rm him of the need you are in of sailors. He has none, for he is not able to supply ie with those I require, but he may be able perhaps to send you some Acadians. Deschambeau, June 5, 1760. Sir,—I am sending in strict custody, from post to post, two English prisoners, I =serters from Montreal, who have been arrested on the south shore, and following îem, three inhabitants, two of whom, from the neighbourhood of Quebec, have been ■•rested as spies. They are named Joseph Bergue and François Liberge. M. de la Boche Beaucourt will have the honour of reporting to you on the matter. The third is one named Joseph Chorette, resident of Ste. Foy, who threatened his Hip tain with making a complaint against him to M. Murray, of having prevented his Birrying thirty bushels of wheat to Charlesbourg, an order that the captain had received Horn me. He added to this threat a great deal of abuse. The fact has been certified f lv an officer who was at the time on the south shore. I am sending him to Montreal 11; a suspect. Should not such conduct be repressed ? With regard to inhabitants who shall refuse to take arms when the enemy appears, believe they must be most rigorously treated, and I shall act accordingly. I am ifcc. June 7, 1760. Sir,—I have received the letters you did me the honour to write to me, on the 2nd Hid 3rd instant. M. de Malartic will have given you an account of all we are able to Barn from Quebec. Last night, M. de la Roche Beaucourt received information that, I the morning, 14 sail had arrived, and had anchored at the upper end of the Isle of Bdeans. The information is, as yet, neither confirmed nor disproved. By the instructions left me by M. le Chevalier de Levis, I am directed to recall my Bvanced posts and make my retreat, when the enemy appears in force on the river, but Bat can only be when he receives reinforcements, for until then he has only a thousand I twelve hundred men to land~and I have enough to face him everywhere. Therefore, Br, if he undertook to leave me behind him and march to Three Rivers, I would jimediately retake Pointe aux Trembles and leaving the garrison of Jacques Cartier as Bis, I would post here three pickets and with the rest of my men, march to the assist- Bce of Three Rivers, with the utmost diligence. This it seems to me, Sir, is the best 18—16A* 32 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 military disposition. I wish very much that you will approve of this, and that it will have the success I anticipate. My present position would become useless if the enemy proceeded to ravage the center of the colony above me ; and if, to march to the succour of that part of the country, I were to call in my two principal supports, I should be deprived of all means and' all resources for returning to my present position where it is important to maintain myself as long as the enemy is not in greater force. The night of the 5 th, to the 6th, the King's money chest, containing a considerable sum, was stolen. M. Landriève, who occupies a room in my house, had left for Pointe aux Trembles. The chest was in this room, the window of which, was unfastened by somebody, and the chest carried off. I did not perceive the loss until about eight o'clock, the coffer was discovered forty or fifty paces from the house by a grenadier who came to notify me of it. I confess, Sir, that all my suspicions fell upon this company of grenadiers, whose camp is flanking my .house with two lines of tents of which one faces the front and the other the rear in such a manner that I cannot understand how such a thing could take place without the camp knowing it; the sentinel placed at the head of the camp must necessarily see all that happens over the whole space at the rear of my house. In consequence, I caused one man from each tent to be arrested and have made all possible investigations, but without success. If a soit of political discourse I have caused to be circulated produces no effect, the only remaining resource would be to see what light could be thrown on the matter by an investigation made on the spot by an officer of justice, I am deeply grieved by the occurrence. The sentinel at my door could not see what was being done at the back of my house. A company of grenadiers covering it should, it seems to me, have rendered it secure. M. de Lendriève reports on this affair to M. l'intendant. I am &c. P.S. M. de Levis will tell you that I am having bridges built on all the rivers. I have not enough paper to furnish a more detailed statement. June 9th, 1760. Sir,— I have received two letters which you did me the honour to write to me on the 4th and on the 7th. I do myself the honour of thinking as you do on the present state of affairs. The arrangements that I had the honour of submitting to you under date of the 7th, will no doubt, appear to you as relative to the existing situation. I like to anticipate events and to have a definite plan for those I have foreseen. The most embarrassing situation is when things turn in an unexpected manner and it is necessary to take a sudden decision. It will I think be very difficult not to say impossible to bring the militia of the district of Quebec and of Three Rivers as far as Montreal. How can these people be induced to abandon their families at the moment the enemy is rendering himself master of their homes 1 I venture to say, Sir, that it would be useless for me to transmit your orders to this effect, the more so, perhaps, that pressed by the approach of the enemy, I should without doubt have no time to compel obedience by ordinary methods, and he who should desert when I went beyond his parish would find himself safe from any search I could make. Thus I believe, Sir, we must not count on the inhabitants of all the country we leave behind us. They will be like all those who have already submitted to the enemy, and I know no means by which this can be changed. In the mean time, Sir, you may rely upon it that I will forget nothing to secure success. I believe that the flute La Marie had better remain at Three Rivers. If I cannot j obtain a complete crew for the two feluccas I will ask the master for some sailors. I will endeavour to procure some five-pounders for the flute. We are in want only of cannon balls. Great difficulties are found in the way of providing the floating bridges for lack of means. The continued north-east winds have up to the present prevented me from proceeding to the spot, but I expect to leave to-morrow morning and will push on to Three Rivers. There is Some foundation it appears to me for the fear» entertained by M. de Longueuil in regard to Three Rivers. There is no one in that I LETTERS OF VA UDREUIL, ETC 33 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 îiserable place. It will take more then twenty-four hours to gather the militia, no latter what previous arrangements he may make. Not one officer, not the least defence work, the finest landing place in the world, four rivers, of which three are very jnsiderable, separating M. de Longueuil from myself, and a distance of six leagues ; in ddition to all that, the wind and tide favouring the enemy, for he will know how 3 take advantage of both, or a night march that will conceal his movements. I will sassure M. de Longueuil as best I can, and will not speak to him as I am now doing to ou, but I cannot prevent myself from seeing that his situation is very critical, for if ie enemy acts quickly, I defy him to oppose a shadow of resistance, The two militia suspects of whom I have the honour to write to you are not the îen who were with M. Vauclain. They were, on the contrary, shut up in the town uring the siege with a number of others from Ste. Fois whom M. de Murrai held with heir accoutrements. They did not leave here until after the 5th. The same day I ^nt the two English prisoners arrested at St. Jean, and I have learnt that the two (there have reached Quebec. A letter has reached me, sent by Sieur Le Gris, addressed to M. Cadet. I opened j, to ascertain what was taking place below. I know by advices from different quarters hat fourteen sail arrived at Quebec on the 6th, but these advices do not agree as to tie total number that are at present in the roads. Some say twenty two to twenty five, and others thirty three. If the first surmise Ie correct, some of them must hate been going to and fro and been counted more than jnce. It is known that several have come down and they have perhaps gone up again. But generally the reports agree that they carry no troops. One soldier only, of the lerri regiment, who has left the hospital, has told me the contrary. The courier from Sieur LeGris confirms the report that the enemy had retaken [ossession of the prize that Sieur Mainviel had left in the rivière du Sud and thence pey went to Rivière du Loup, where our people had already burnt one of the other hfo prizes, that they had taken there, and he added that the third would without doubt ieet the same fate. I have the honour to send you a statement of the mouths at each post, to which I [ave joined one respecting our position with regard to meat. Three Rivers, June 11th, 1760. Sir,—I have been to Ste. Anne, Batiscan and Champlain. Impossible to place |ridges on the two first-named rivers for the want of cables of sufficient size not to lention other inconveniences that cannot be overcome for want of means. A bridge is [eing constructed on the Champlain river, which, notwithstanding its small size, will m.ve enough trouble by reason of the difficulties it presents. In a few days I shall have Ix boats at St. Anne, seven at Batiscan and nine in the channels where they are con- lantly ready with men to convey my people across by night or day. I have come as far as this place to confer with M. de IiOngueuil, see his dispositions lid agree on further action. I have found an epaulment traced in front of the Lower ■own and some other works that appeared to me very useful. M. de Longueuil has liken measures for carrying on these works promptly without consumption of his provisions. I am going to cause the cannon of La Talente to be passed to him, but he has lo gun-carriages,and it is not possible to make any here for lack of the proper kind of rood and of coal to prepare the iron work. It is necessary to procure these from Mon- rea1. I will also have the mortar which is at Deschambault, placed here, as I believe I will be more useful here than at that place. If the enemy allows us to do this, Sir, I believe that Three Rivers will be safe until such time as the enemy begins serious ■aerations, because, as he is today, the enemy will not attack us rashly, or rather he will Inly land where he sees no appearance of opposition. In any case he will have certain ■reparations to make and this will give the militia time to arrive. But if, owing to circumstances and events whioh cannot now be foreseen, the enemy lould become master of the place before my arrival, and establish himself there* what lurse shall I adopt ? I know it does not seem likely, but in war, possibilities must be iken into consideration. 34 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 Three gunners and one bombardier must be sent from Montreal. If the supplies of provisions at all permitted, it would be very useful to assemble and camp the Languedoc reigment here, leaving at Ste. Anne the company of grenadiers only. I "beg you, Sir, to regard the observations which I have the honour to address to you as the effect of my zeal and my good intentions. I know how to subject my opinion to that of my superiors ; only, I like, and perhaps a little too much, to discuss the details. June 15th. Sir,—I have received the letters to which you did me the honour to write to me on the 11th and on the 12th. If the information which I receive is true, the English have only 24 vessels in the roads, and from time to time, they send, during the night, some of them down the river ; these afterwards come up again. Circumstances are even reported to me that tend to prove that it is their interest to impose upon us and they are acting accordingly. But the people who can be employed in scouting have not sufficient intelligence to justify absolute reliance on their reports. I would already have sent two officers to the south shore, for I knew how necessary it was, but I have not enough officers, and those whom I might detail are not suited for this kind of work. There are only M. Bayeuil and M. Hertel, who are both at fort Jacques Cartier. The first named is very ill and to take them away from the garrison of M. de Repentigny would involve me in a quarrel with the latter, who does not like to have his command diminished. Beside, Sir, things are in such a state to-day, that the militia can be used only in so far as one has a body of troops sufficient to give an air of authority. There should be at least fifteen soldiers for each of the officers, without which, I assure you, our labour is lost. If you would detail M. Rousseau de Ville- joint with 30 men, and send me an order for M. Hertel, for I would not like to quarrel with M. de Repentigny, I will dispose of these two officers in such a manner that they will be most useful on the south shore between this and Montreal. M. Imbert only left this place on receipt of a letter from the Intendant to M. Landriève and one that M. LaRochelle had written to me on the subject. Messieurs Pertuis and Bernard arrived to-day. I will give every facility at my disposal to enable them to procure the information desired. I have sent to Montreal all the soldiers of the first battalion who deserted from the Quebec prisons. Those of the second are gone to Three Rivers, because they were , all naked and I believe that for the same. reason, M. de Longueuil will have them sent to Montreal. I greatly fear, Sir, that the feluccas will not be of much service. They are not very fast and they make a good deal of leeway ; but we will make the best of them. Anyway, they can dispute the passage of nothing but barges, without exposing themselves ; but being chased, they could use their stern-chasers. T have already given instructions to M. de Grandrivière to that effect, a copy of which I shall have the honour of sending to you but I have no copy now. If the English know anything whatever about our movements, when they ascend the St. Lawrence, they will know that I have boats to cross the rivers ; it will not, indeed, be difficult for them to guess it ; so it will be their object to take possession of the boats before I can reach them. That again will be easy to do. In the mean time, I have given an order to the two companies at Ste. Anne and to the two at Batiscan to post themselves on guard at their boats at the first alarm ; to that of Champlain, to guard their bridge ; and to that at the Cape, at the boats that are in the channels ; but it is to be feared the enemy will come with boats well armed and that they will soon succeed in putting to flight such weak guards. M. Cadet has sent me a letter for Sieur Grandin. I sent it on at once. There was none for M. LeGris. The armourer's tools have not yet arrived, nor the remedies for the hospital. You cannot realise, Sir, how painfully we are in need of them. Half the pickets want to repair* their arms, and M. Drouillon, who arrived yesterday, has brought a detachment a good half of which requires to be armed. Moreover, Sir, this detachment is not worth much. Three fourths of these militiamen are mere children and in the whole LETTERS OF VA UDREUIL, ETC 35 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 lumber, there is not a single militia officer. M. de la Roche i hem to-day, will I believe be greatly dissatisfied with them. Beaucourt, who received The detachment is 175 trong. If you wish to put Pointe aux Trembles in some state of defence, another 160 nen, troops or militia, will be required. In, the mean time I am persuaded that M. de a Roche Beaucourt will send back no more militiamen than he receives. It is impossible to send him reinforcements from this place. This position is .lready too weak with regard to its extent. The officers who begin to understand the ituation have already made representations to me in this respect. In fact, if the nemy attacked us, one picket would be defeated before it could receive the least aid rom the other, but one must hope for the best. Never should we act with more conn-, lence than when everything is desperate. I could wish, Sir, that you had received the best news in the world. That would >e peace, or some powerful help. I hope for neither, but I none the less try to sustain he confidence of the people. It is always something to have received direct news. M. de Murrai is clearing away the rubbish from the town. Work is being done >n the preparation of thirty large rowboats containing ninety to one hundred men ; and he work of unloading the ships has commenced. I have the honour to send you the roll of militiamen who have deserted. I greatly ear that their remaining unpunished may lead the rest to desert also. -I have received the letter which you did me the June 18th, 1760. honour to write to me on fhe SlR,- 16th. Messieurs Aubert and LaBruère have not arrived. The English have received intelligence of our vessels and according to my advices hey have already despatched one of their largest ships down the river. During the past few days, their engineers have surveyed the shore at Beauport, )com the Petite Rivière to the falls of Montmorenci. It is alleged that they are onstructing a redoubt at the Falls. The 15th M. de la Roche Beaucourt was informed that a detachment of one hundred [ien was advancing to reconnoitre his outlying pickets. He reinforced them immediately, and with his troops took to horse. This detachment of the enemy was found, n fact, to be only 32 strong, and had already retreated whilst M. de la Roche was moving pwards them. He followed the enemy until close to the town and made three prisoners, wo of whom had stopped at the house of M. Lafontaine. The other was taken by the roopers at the entrance of the faubourg St. Roch. I sent them immediately, under pcort, from post to post, and a few days before two deserters, one of them, a self pnfessed deserter, taken a few days before. Before receiving this letter, Sir, you will have seen Sieur Dusant, pilot, escaped pom the Quebec roads, who arrived here yesterday evening and left this morning for Montreal. It would be superfluous to repeat to you all that he told me. His report nould be more reliable than the advices I receive from different quarters, because he has ben things with the eyes of a man of the calling. Only ten oxen out of the fifty you advised, have reached me. The English sent on board ship, the cura of Charlesbourg, and some Jesuits who | ho were in this parish, have received the same treatment. The curé of Lorette has iken refuge here. June 20th, 1760. Sir,—On the 17th, M. de Murrai sent a detachment of 300 men to the church of te. Foi, where it is said, he entrenches himself. On the 18th, a frigate, accompanied by about 15 barges, ascended to Cap Rouge, mere she anchored. She might well have had some other object than merely covering pis detachment, which without that, might be taken in the rear; and these 300 Jen are perhaps only there to cover the sallies of M. de Murrai respecting which I had irmed a project that I find much deranged by these precautions. I have nobody to send to the Eouth. shore, although it is very necessary to have i me one there. 36 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VIL, A. 1906! M. de Meloises and M. de Mézières are altogether unfit. I would be glad if the, first named were removed. We ha,ve in other respects nothing new. If the barges of Cap Rouge should take to landing men, M. de la Roohe-Beauoourt might perhaps successfully ambush them. I intend to go and see him to-morrow morning. I am very anxious, Sir, to know something more definite as to the intentions of the Court. It is always something that it is satisfied with us. Since it does not oare to give money, it is to be hoped that it will give something else. It is for you, Sir, to influenoe its favours. Your goodness encourages me to hope that I shall not be forgotten. I am, (fee. June 21st, 1760. Sir,—I send the oourier, though I have nothing interesting to oommunioate, as it is neoessary that the oourier should return to you. The frigate whioh had ascended to Cap Rouge has gone back. I have just made arrangements to send M. Simblin and M. Hertel to the south shore. One will be stationed below Ste. Croix and the other above Lotbinière. I will give them their instructions in conformity with the orders I have received from you, Sir. To supply these thirty men I have not thought it advisable to draw on all the : pickets but only on those belonging to the oolony. The regular soldiers do not like to be detaohed for service under offioers of the marine, and in detachments of this kind, it is neoessary that the private soldier should be satisfied. I at first drew from the pickets of the colony all in exoess of 60 men, whioh gave me 16, then I took three men from the pickets in turn and two from that of the first battalion ; that gave me 14 more, oompleting the required 30 men. This means that the three pickets at J acques Cartier and the two of the oolony at Desohambault will eaoh be 57 strong. I know very well that M. Repentigni will protest, for this'will reduoe his garrison to two offioers and 18 men, but he will still have 8 officers and 171 men besides a number of workmen, and I believe that this is sufficient, I should like an officer not to think of himself only. The duties of one are always closely related to those of the others, and it is important to attain all our objeots. When one side of the edifice gives way, the whole mass oollapses. Some barrels of pork have been found at Jacques Carrier which it was feared would not keep long ; we have therefore had it distributed at the rate of "two ounces for each ration as the equivalent of four ounces of beef. The soldiers of the oclony were satisfied but those of the regiment de la. Reine, and of the Royal Roussillon, who draw their rations from this fort, have refused it, olaiming the right to a quarter of a pound of pork, the same as they have to a quarter of a pound of beef. 1 beg of you, Sir, to let know whether, in the face of the extreme soaroity to which we are reduced, the proportion of rations should be maintained when there is a change in kind, or, if we must give a quarter of a pound of pork where Ave before gave a quarter of a pound of beef. I flatter myself, Sir, that if you write to the Court, you will kindly remember me, but I hardly dare tell you what I should desire. June 24th, 1760. M. le Général,—I have the honour to forward to you a letter from Petite Rivière, Baye St. Paul, written to M. Cadet, that brings us some good news, that seems to be confirmed by a report that M. Murrai mentioned it at the General Hospital., I have also been told that three days ago two vessels arrived, dismasted and otherwise very badly damaged. i esterday a frigate ascended above Pointe aux Trembles with very few barges around her. I have just been told she is now under sail with a good north-east wind, Unless she is better accompanied it can not signify much. Messieurs Simblin and Hartel have gone over to the south shore. The report has just reached me that the English have retired from Ste. Foy, but that the same numbei of tents whioh were there are now seen at St. Nioolas. What is certain is that thej have ordered the inhabitants of that parish t« out wood for them at the Falls of tb< Chaudière, but, that they are encamped on this side of the river, requires confirmation LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 37 [SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 26th. June, 1760. Sir.—I am very sorry that I cannot confirm the news respecting the alleged squa- iron. I cannot understand why M. Le Gris gives us no sign of life for I begged him to mte me frequently, whether he had news or not. • The frigate that ascended the river to this point after taking soundings and aaking observations returned yesterday to Pointe aux Trembles, where she still is. The English are entrenching themselves at Ancien Lorette at Noel Alin on the heights opposite the Suede road. They are also entrenching at St. Foi. On Sunday last, three Americans and two Englishmen arrived at St. Nicholas Coming up the River. There they met a detachment of 80 men from the frigate who at once went on board with them». It is rumoured that there are six vessels at Quebec armed for going up the river, and 30 boats several of which carry cannon. No one affirms however that the enemy has teceived any reinforcement of troops. I believe that we have sufficient provisions to last until the 20th. of next month. 3y the next courier I will have the honour of forwarding you a statement. Today I sent away Jain Chagrin, sergeant of the Company de Lanaudière, accused |>r rather convicted of having plundered the baggage of the Regiment de la Saare on south shore where he had been detached for service under the orders of M. de Bayeuil, and have had him escorted by grenadiers to M. Deisquebelle, who will have bim taken to Three Rivers to be transferred thence to Montreal. M. de M uns forwards to M. des Perrier adjutant of the Regiment de la Saare, lhe proofs of the crime. The felucca arrived on Sunday last and the "Anie" at Levi yesterday. They are fcoth privateering. These boats do not sail well, they do not stand up to the wind, besides [his they are very inconvenient ; no cooking can be done on board, and every day a feuding must be made for the purpose. I am afraid that they will not be of much use to Is. 27th. June. Sir,— I have the honour to forward you several letters from le Sr. Le Gris to the 'ommissary General. I am very sorry that they do not confirm the news from Sr. Iradin. The people of St. Croix refuse to mount guard. I have threatened them that | will burn their prope' ty. They have replied that they may as well be burned out by |s as by the enemy, who would not fail to burn everything if we fell back. All this is |ery embarrassing and I believe we shall have much trouble in taking the militia of the forth and south shores to Montreal. It has been reported to me that on the nights of the 25th. 26th |i the inhabitants of St Antoine was carried off. Montreal, 24 May, 1760. Answered the 29th. Sir,—I have received the letter you did me the honour to write to me on the list. I attributed your silence entirely to your being much occupied. I was, besides, Imvinced that you felt very keenly the necessity under which M. le Chevalier de Levis Rund himself of raising the siege of Quebec. This is one of those events which can in k> way reflect on the merit of the campaign, and the Court will doubtless appreciate îr efforts as much as if they had been crowned with the most complete success. It is ■fact beyond dispute that we have done the utmost in our power. In whatever circum- ■ances we may find ourselves there are no measures I do not take and no efforts I do ■>t put forth to preserve the loyalty of the colony. I remain firmly confident that we ■ail either have peace or powerful assistance, for it is not likely that the King has ■ rtainly abandoned this colony. All the prisoners whom we have taken from time to time since last autumn, agree I saying that we have had considerable successes in Europe ; they expect us to make an ■tack by sea ; they count on peace, and they attribute to that the delay in receiving Bws from the Court in London which they expected by the packet boat. In time we all know more certainly, what the real facts of the case are. barge belonging 21st 38 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 I have strong expectation of receiving more certain intelligence by the prisoners from Chouagin Carillon, or St. Frederic as we have Indians at each of these places. I shall be greatly pleased to see you, but M. le Chevalier de Levis, who is aware of my confidence «in you, must have handed over to you the entire command of the frontier. The information you possess, your zeal and your experience, I regard as the best security that you will acquit yourself of your command to the best advantage. You will have his instructions on every point. I can only rely on them and on your carefulness in carrying them into effect. You will besides write to me often, and that j will give me an opportunity of telling you how things strike me from time to time. When you have a little more leisure I beg you to acquaint me with anything of interest, entering into such details as you consider necessary, and telling me freely in writing whatever you might have kept back with the intention of telling me in person, j You cannot doubt that I will eagerly use everything that may help to secure justice for our battalions, and our militia, and to satisfy the desire I shall always have to procure for you fresh favours from the King. You know the extent and strength of the sentiments with which I have the honour j to be. Sir, Your very humble and very obedient servant, VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. P. S.—Madame de Vaudreuil is extremely gratified at your remembrance of her, and desires me to say a thousand good things to you for her. Endorsed, à Monsieur, Monsieur Dumas, Commandant la Frontière a Jacques Cartier, . Vaudreuil. Montreal, 26th May, 1760. Sir,—I have received the letter which you have done me the honour to write to me; on the 23rd of this month. You will have seen from my preceding letter that the position assigned to you by M. le Chevalier de Levis is in conformity with my wishes, and that I am quite confident that nobody will acquit himself of the duty better than yourself ; in saying this I simply render justice to your zeal and to the knowledge] that you have acquired of the country on our front. I must leave you free to act as you judge best under the instructions which M. lei Chevalier de Levis will give you. 1 have written to M. le Chevalier de Levis that considering the scarcity of provi- \ sions it was not possible for us to maintain a strong garrison at the front. I see by] your last letter that it was fixed at 1,200 men, of whom 300 are Canadians. It would] have been most desirable to have sent back the latter, but if they are indispensably! necessary an arrangement should be made to replace them by other good men. I approve of your uniting the flags of the second battalion of marine with those of< the first since you are obliged to form the second battalion in pickets. I know that M. ; le Chevalier de La Corne, M. de Nassau and all our officers in general have'done mar-j vels. I assure you that I will neglect nothing to call attention to their merits and procure favours for them from the King. No matter, what your position may be, I am convinced you will make the most of; it, and do the best possible. I shall always do you the justice due to your sentiments,' and I shall never feel more pleased than when I am able to give you proofs of the viva-! city and strength of those with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humblej and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. A thousand Compliments to all your officers. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Montreal, 27th May, 1760. Replied to on the 29th. Sir,—As M. le Chevalier de Levis informs me of his approaching departure from Lcques Cartier, I reply direct to you, on certain portions of the letter that he has writ- In to me concerning the front. I can but approve his plans and am persuaded that you | ill follow the instructions he will have left you with exactness. I have only to observe that I have seen by the letter from M. Landriève to M. Intendant that the consumption of victuals for the front amounts to 1800 rations pr day, and that comparing the calculations we have made of the rations with the ailable food supply, we have clearly seen that it will not be possible to furnish subsist- lice for so many men without speedily exhausting our resources. It is an observation Lat I make to you alone. I beg of you to give it most serious attention, and not to teak of it to anyone, but let me know what plan you think would be best to diminish the | imber of men that M. le Chev. de Levis has decided to leave on the front. An arrangeant of this nature seems to me the more feasible, having regard to our limited means, Iving to the fact that, when you judge the step necessary, you can re-unite with your Irces the militia of your neighbourhood, those of Three Rivers, and the troops which re quartered there. These observations are necessitated by the extreme scarcity of ferything and they merit, as I have first said, the most serious attention. So impor- Int is it to think in good time of the further developments of the campaign, that unless Ie do the Colony will collapse of itself. I am at work raising a levy of 300 good militia men, whom I will send without ftlay, to relieve those who have stayed with you. Pray assure the latter of this, and Iso of my satisfaction at their zeal and willingness. Notify them that in consideration I this they will be spared more than the others should future calls to .service be made. I count also on sending you during the week the second felucca, which will sail as on as the Provençal who is to take charge of her arrives. He is now on the pilot ■ucca which I assume you will have despatched before the receipt of this letter. I have learned that M. Wolfe, an officer accustomed to irregular troops has been Ipointed to the command at Pointe aux Trembles. He is a very good officer, but has e reputation of being rough, and this is not what is wanted to obtain the best ser- |ces from the Canadians, who will probably form the larger part of their garrison. M. ■olfe is a German, who can scarcely make himself understood in French. I give you m opinion, it is for you to weigh the matter and do what you deem to be most advis- f le. I am only concerned with results ; I do not care whether this M. Wolfe or any Iher officer commands at Pointe aux Trembles, as long as it is for the good of the ser- fce. I have no'anxiety as to any failure on your part to employ all possible means and Ivices to secure frequent news from Quebec and particularly from the mouth of the l^er. It is to be hoped that you can depend on the advices you leceive. Several merchants" of Quebec have represented to me that their presence there was Icessary for the preservation of their property, but although I have given them my «mission you will judge whether to be governed by it, if you think that their return 111 be prejudicial to our interests. I have the honour to be, with the most sincere sentiments, Sir, Your very humble d very obedient Servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Montreal, 1st June, 1760. Received the 3rd, answered the same evening. Sir.—I have received the letter that you have done me the honour to write to me, I the 29th of last month. I have been surprised at the intelligence that you sent me being spread over the ■vn as soon as it was known to me. You will be so good in future as to take the lictest measures to prevent such a thing occurring again. CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 190( It is important under existing circumstances that all the intelligence from thi lower St. Lawrence or any other part that you wish to communicate to me should be ar impenetrable secret, and I beg you not to hesitate in punishing the couriers or othes persons who may speak indiscreetly of the news they carry. Have the goodness tj write the couriers to that effect and inform them that I shall severely punish those wh< offend in the manner stated. The letters that you have sent me do not settle anything, as there does not appea) to have been any news from Europe that you sent me as recent as what arrived aj Quebec, and the whole aspect of affairs may change at any moment. Peace is indeeci strongly to be desired. I do not lose hope of it, but, no matter which way things turn; we will continue to do our best. Canada is nearing the end of her troubles and mis fortunes, and everything should prompt us to put forth new and more powerful efforti! so as not to lose the fruits of the negotiations for peace that are certainly now ii progress. M. le Chevalier de Levis has supplied me with a copy of the instructions he ha; given to you as well as to M. de Repentigny and to M. de la Roche Beaucourt, am] they are all that could be wished, and are shaped with reference to such movements iii force as the English might make. I have no fear but that you will not be found wanting on your part in coping with the unforeseen, but will do your utmost to make the enem; pay dearly for any ground he may gain from you. Continue, I beg, your search for boats which are so very scarce with us and foi, which we have the most pressing need. It would be very unfortunate if we were to losj a single one through negligence. When you have the boats you will have them distributed as you judge best to as; sure the passage of the river both above and below us. I shall be anxious to knot! how many you secure. It seems from the letters that you have sent me that the English at Quebec will rej ceive no help, that their forces will remain in the state in which they are, that Ljuis bourg must by this time be demolished, but that the garrison of that place is not tl come to Quebec ; thus there is every ground for presuming that the English will no! attempt any considerable movement. The subsistence of our troops occupies me greatly. I fear that we have not pro, visions sufficient for any length of time ; and therefore beg you to continue to reducq the number of useless mouths that may be found in your own troops or among thesl outposts. Do not cease to employ every effort that your zeal is able to suggest to procunj frequent information from Quebec. If the English have allowed some women to enta the town, they will gradually become loss watchful. I am glad that you are well cor] vinced of the confidence I have in you. I shall be infinitely pleased whenever I ma^ be able to give you satisfactory proofs of it. I render full justice to your zeal, and you experience, and I am very sure that no matter in what situation you may find yoursel you will do your very best. Please return to me all the sailors you have in excess of the requirements of th galleys. It is indispensable that you should despatch at least 20 to me with the utmosj possible promptitude, as they are needed for our vessels on Lake Ontario. I beg you to send them under command of a reliable officer who might have busii ness here, if you can find one immediately after this letter reaches you. I inform you, Sir, that I am going to send back to Quebec in the Commissary canoe, commanded by le Sieur Mezières, two English officers who will be accompainej by M. Lenoir. When the boat arrives at Batiscan, it will cross over to the south shon and continue the journey to Quebec, to prevent these two officers observing, or havin any knowledge of our posts. I also inform you that these two Englishmen have several commissions to fulfil M the officers who are staying in that city, and that M. Lenoir, for his part shoul endeavour to obtain some provisions. I am sure that M. Murray will not hesitate t grant him a passport. M. Melartic will send it to you, and will ask for conveyances i accordance with the passport. You will please send them immediately to Quebec, « schooners or boats in charge of some trusty person. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 41 lESSIONAL PAPER-No. 18 I think, as you do, that M. Martin would do well at Quebec, and to that end we 11 work. Should you have given any particular employment to Sieur le Sage, no matter iat, I beg you will immediately return him to the Commissary who sends him orders the letter whioh he is writing to him. I beg you also to give orders to Sieur Dussault, Seigneur des Ecureuils, to leave imediately with Sieur Dehndes, and take with him another pilot of his own choice, ie Commissary writes him to this effect. You will receive this letter by the said Sieur Delandes, whom, as well as les Sieurs Sage and Dussault, and the other pilot, I beg you will leave entirely free to proceed to- ieir destination, and carry out the orders the Commissary has given them. You will locure them all the food and other necessaries they may require, and facilitate their rompt passage to the South shore. You know the extent and the strength of the sentiments with which I hâve the pnour to be, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant, VAUDREUIL. I. Dumas. M. Cugnet has reported to me what you wrote to him. The project in question is ■ very delicate one. Find out whether Abbé Moriceau will undertake the negotiation, ■nyway, take the course that will be best suited to the welfare of le Sieur Cugnet's Imily, in which I am much interested. VAUDREUIL. Montreal, 2nd June, 1760. Received on the 5th, answered on the evening of the 7th. Sir,—I have received the letter that you did me the honour to write me on the 1st of last month, with that of M. Duparquet to M. de la Roche Beaucourt which was Int with it. If the English really pillage and maltreat the English (sic. Canadians ?) they falsify ne promises contained in General Murray's proclamation. I cannot believe that this general will hold as prisoners of war the guard that we id at the General Hospital. He would contravene, not only the cartel, but the law of fctions. M. le Malartic will certainly uphold our rights in this respect. We shall soon aow if the statement is correct, and if the English also hold our wounded. May they |)t have made them as well as the guard, enter the town, in order to embark them bl the schooner that M. le Chevalier de Levis has sent there t The English who reached Quebec have no doubt incorrectly reported what M. de fcinvielle told them in speaking about M. Martin, for neither directly or indirectly, |>r in any way whatever was he the owner of the schooner. Always pay particular attention, I beg of you, to getting frequent news from down le river. I am surprised that neither le Sieur Legris nor M. Nolle LePage write to me. The seven vessels that you were assured were at Ile aux Coudres are without doubt English ; still I do not despair of our having news from Europe, and even powerful aid, i we do not have peace. lt is very unfortunate that despite all your efforts you have not yet been able to lllect the boats, and that your arrangements are consequently delayed. I have had all the English letters and papers you sent me interpreted. They con- l-m what I have already told you, that the garrison at Quebec will receive no succour. I do not think that General Murray will expose himself to the risk of making a sortie in |rce. However it is only prudent to hold yourself in readiness as circumstances may Iquire. On this point I cannot give you any positive directions, and can only rely on tu, confident that you will act for the best in every respect. The essential point is fat you should have the most accurate information obtainable concerning the enemy's Movements, so that you may not make any mistake in your own. The, precaution, taken by you, of leaving at Germain's only 15 days rations for your lain force and your advanced posts is very wise and I can but approve of it. 42 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906] It would be very prudent to send to Three Rivers for safety the provisions that you propose to load on board the schooner, as the enemy by ascending the Richelieu in boats could surprise her. You would always be able to get what you wanted in] half a day. I will immediately send the militiamen I previously mentioned for the purpose of] relieving those who have remained with you out of good will. I have the honour always to be, with the warmest and most sincere sentiments, 1 Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Montreal, 3rd June, 1760. Received on the 5th. in the evening, answered on the 7th. Sir,— I have received the letter that you have done me the honour to write me on the 30th of last month. I already knew Messieurs de Celauron and Rousseau de Villejoint to be excellent officers. The good account you give me of their zeal cannot but increase the desire I have to oblige them. The soldiers of the First Batallion whom you have sent back here arrived at the same time. Enclosed you will find circular letters, which I beg you will promptly send! to the captains of militia on the south shore, commencing with the parish that is opposite Deschambault, as far as and including that which is opposite Point anxl Trembles. I have left one unsealed that you may make yourself acquainted with itsl contents. The courier carries similar letters for the north shore as far as Pointe aux! Trembles. I beg you to be good enough to see to it, that all these captains strictly! comply with these orders, and that they lose no time in getting the arms of their mil-| itiamen which are not in good condition, repaired. This is of the greatest importance as at any moment we may be obliged to put the militia on the march. I am, still confident nevertheless that we shall have peace, or powerful assistance. I have the honor to be, very sincerely, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Montreal, 3rd June, 1760. Received on the 5th in the evening, replied to the 7th. Sir,—I inform you that Sieur Martin is forwarding, to you, a despatch for General! Murray which I have read so that you may allow it to go forward, as well as the! courier whom he is sending for that purpose. I have the honour to be as ever, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant, M. Dumas. VAUDREUIL. Montreal, 4th June, 1760, Answered on the 9th. Sir,—I have received the letter that you did me the honour to write me on the! 2nd instant. M. de Malartic's letter which you forwarded to M. le Chevalier de Levis reached! him at the same time. The garrison of Quebec is probably not more than 1,800 or 2,000 men and as II have already mentioned they do not expect reinforcements. Therefore I cannot believe! that General Murray will employ the greater part of his force in making any serious! movement. Having a great advantage through the vessels at his command, he may simply have been sending frigates, schooners and barges up and down the river without having! any distinct purpose of effecting a landing. I know very well that these manœuvres! cannot but cause you anxiety, but it is for you, Sir, to employ all means for procuring! precise information of the enemy's intentions and then to weigh them and regulate! your own plans and dispositions accordingly. I am unable to prescribe anything more: LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 43 ESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 efinite in this respect, everything depending on the more or less favourable circum- ances in which you may find yourself. I must only observe that it would be very dangerous if you made any false movements that might involve grievous results. So I pray you to employ both reflection and Irudence. The great thing is to get frequent news from Quebec. Neglect and spare lothing, I pray you, to that end. You know how important it is that you maintain your position, and how dangerous I would be to abandon it, on false information, in order to go, without absolute lecessity to the support of Three Rivers. The English will perhaps manoeuvre in such I way as to alarm you for that town ; their whole "object being to get you to move. I latter myself that you will find out positively what you may depend on so as to be in a position to take action only with a full knowledge of the situation. If the enemy's prces should be considerably reinforced, and he decided to penetrate to the heart of the [olony, leaving you in your present position, then you should not hesitate to call in all our outposts, to muster the militia of your environs, that of the lower part of the listrict of Three Rivers, the soldiers of the Languedoc regiment quartered there, and [hen proceed to join M. de Longueuil, and the army assembled by him at Three Rivers, h oppose the landing which the enemy might attempt to effect there, or, if he proceeded lirther, to follow him as far as this town. I am writing to M. de Longueuil to establish a system of signals, and to make such ,rrangements beforehand as will enable him to assemble instantly the militia of the Ipper part of his district and the soldiers of the Languedoc regiment. I am instructing |im to remain at Three Rivers, and offer the most obstinate resistence to the enemy's mding, and to maintain his position there until you join him, and also that he follow lhe English with you if they pass beyond. 'Sir, I give you my opinion on the subject. You are on the spot and it is for you to let as may be most advisable under the more or less favorable circumstances in which |ou may be placed. In any case I must rely entirely on the zeal and the experience of rhich you have given so many evidences. M. de Longueuil has been able to collect nine boats only. We have none here, fherefore use every effort to get possession of any that remain in your neighborhood. You will have seen by my last letter that I strongly approved the arrangements [ou had made for the preservation and protection of your provisions in case of your leing obliged to retreat. The captain of the transport flute La Marie, has had orders from M. de Levis to pin M- de Grand Rivière at Batiscan, or at Grondines. As this captain has a lot of ob- |ervations to make I requested him to communicate them to you by this courier and to wait your orders for his departure, and his movements, which I beg you will give him ccordingly. I am very glad that you did not allow the traders, to whom I gave per- liission to go to Quebec, to pass. In doing so you used the liberty which I allowed you p. my letter of the 27th of last month, and which I beg you to continue to exercise. I am very sorry that you have not even the sailors whom you need for your own lurposes. What can have become of them ? They are perhaps scattered in the neighborly parishes. Try to assemble them and send me those I asked you for, after, that is |o say, completing the number you yourself require. I am most desirous that you should receive guns from Three Rivers, as they are lery scarce here. I have not yet been able to get the English papers that you sent me, translated. [f they contain anything of interest I shall have the'honour of communicating it to lou. Neglect nothing to secure frequent intelligence from Quebec, and to find out the lumber of ships of the line, frigates and other vessels that they have in the roads. Endeavour also to procure news from down the river, and of the vessels that may be in lhe river, English or French. On Sunday I will send the detachment of Canadians who |re to replace those who are with you. The officer who will be in charge of that de- [achment will bring the others back. You will be so good as to announce this to Ihem. 44 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 (i You know the warmth and sincerity of the sentiments with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Montreal, 7th June, 1760. Sir,—I hav6 received the letter which you did me the honour to write to me on the 3rd of this month. I hope you will be able to make some sure arrangement for the passage of your rivers, supplying the lack of boats by the pontoons which you will cause to be constructed. I shall be fully appreciative of all your efforts in this matter. It is of course necessary that you should furnish rations to the wives of the soldiers who have remained with you, since tbey have no homes of their own but might you not reduce them to half rations, or withhold beef? I beg you to da all you can in this respect, on account of our very scanty supplies. Upon careful reflection these exhibitions of liveliness on M. Murray's part can only be attributed to his weakness. We know how he is situated and that he is unable to ' undertake anything really serious. All that M. de Longueuil hears of the menaces of that General makes him anxious |H Three Rivers. Between ourselves he seems too ready to believe reports. It is for this j reason I desire you to let him know what you think, when you communicate to him your own news from Quebec. I reiterate to him the order already given him to defend himself ] as long as he has a man left, no matter in whatever position he may find himself. You i may retain the 8 or 9 sailors that you have left to man the second galley. I have j written M. de Longueuil to send you any sailors, or Acadien navigators whom he can j get together. Let him Know the number you will require. The captain of the flute La I Marie has more sailors than he requires. He will let you have some, in addition you i can take soldiers or Canadians to fill up vacancies. It is important that you place these j galleys in a serviceable condition as soon as possible. The Commissary is giving orders to his clerk at Three Rivers to send you 50 oxen, j M. de la Roche did well to have the two habitants whom he suspected arrested, They have been forwarded to me. They are not guilty at all. They were amongst the sailors that M. de Vauquelin put ashore before surrendering. I hope the two English deserters have been arrested. As soon as these and the ones already arrested are forwarded to me, I will have them closely examined. Noth- j ing can be added to the confidence I have reposed in yoti. I shall never feel more pleased than when able to furnish you with new proofs of this, as well as of the warm , and sincere sentiments with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas. Montreal, 11th June, 1760. Answered on the 15th. Sir,—I have received the letter that you did me the honour to write to me on the 7th of this month. M. de Malartic has informed me of all his Quebec news. It is important to know, positively, if any English vessels carrying troops have arrived, and to know their strength, and I beg that you will omit no means of advising | me on the point. There is nothing better than your project for the succour of Three Rivers in the j event, contrary to my expectations, of General Murray's receiving considerable reinforce- ] ments, and thus being enabled to ascend the river in force. I strongly approve of your arrangement in this respect, as well as of your measures for holding Jacques Carrier and ; your present position. The reflections you make on this subject are entirely correct. It would be a very good thing if you had a trusted Officer with a detachment on j the South shore, to strengthen the confidence of the militia of that region, and cause them to take arms if the English should come to burn the farm houses. I can only I refer to what the Chevalier de Lfevis is writing to you on this subject. LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 45 E9SI0NAL PAPER No. 18 I have learnt with great regret of the theft of the King's chest. You have çrsonally still deeper cause for regret in the fact that the instructions given to you bv he Chevalier de Levis stated that the paymaster's clerk was left to you ; consequently ou could have asked M. Landriève not to allow him to absent himself. Besides that, he moment M. Landriève left you could have had the chest carried into your room, lince your sentinel was neither able nor in a position to watch that occupied by M. landriève. It is most unfortunate that your investigations have all been fruitless, ■'he Intendant will send an Officer of Justice to make a formal inquiry, it being of the Itmost importance that the affair be followed up. I desire you to afford to this Com- liissioner all the facilities and help which he may require. I earnestly hope we may be Ible to discover the author of this robbery. M. de Repentigny has informed me of the escape of several of our soldiers who Irere prisoners at Quebec. I beg that you will let them know how gratified I feel at ■heir zeal in rejoining their country, and assure them that I will not forget it. The detachment of M. de Langy was unable to perform its mission. At Pointe lux. Fers they met a party of about 300 Indians and rangers who were apparently on ■heir way to our village of Chateaugué, or to la Tortue. Our Indians attacked ■hem, fighting for five hours, nor did they cease the combat until they had entirely Ixhausted their ammunition. We had two Indians killed and two wounded. Sr. Laforce Iras shot through the chest, and another Frenchman was slightly wounded. The English loss is estimated at over 50 men. They retreated. I am making arrangements to have some prisoners from this party here, and am also expecting some from l/houaguin. Their reports will be interesting, for it is time the movements of reneral Amherst were known; he cannot put off their discovery much longer. I will cquaint you with what we learn from the prisoners. I have the honour to be always, with the warmest and most sincere sentiments, lir, your very humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL. I. Dumas. Montreal, 12th June, 1760. Answered on the 15th. Sir,—I have received the two letters that you did me the honour to write to me on lhe 9th and the 11th of this month. I am very glad that you agree with my plans and views relative to the movements If the English on the river in case they should receive reinforcements and decide on Ittacking Three Rivers. The arrangements you have made in pursuance thereof fit p perfectly with my intentions. It is truly the part of wisdom and prudence to make timely preparation for events, lotwithstanding that we still have reason"to believe that the English will make no lerious movement, unless they receive considerable re-inforcements. M. de Longueuil, and M. de Pontleroy, have reported to me respecting the Intrenchment and other works on which they are engaged. I highly approve of them. I am very glad that you have conferred with the first named, and am persuaded ■hat you did not absent yourself from your command at the front without being absolutely certain that the enemy would make no movement. The cannon of " La Valente " and a mortar will be very useful at Three Rivers. I am writing to M. de Pont Leroy to have the gun-carriages built, as we could not lossibly make them here for want of iron. If the English were to render themselves masters of Three Rivers before you had lined M. de Longueuil, I give orders to the latter to keep the field so as to be Irepared at all times to harass the enemy and prevent him from executing the defensive works that would be indispensable if he wished to maintain his position. You would lemain with M. de Longueuil and do your best to dislodge the English. In fine you lould take up and hold the most advantageous position possible until the arrival of the Irmy which I would immediately despatch hence to confront the English. 18—17* 46 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 If the latter went past Three B ivers you would follow them with M. de Longueuil and gradually effect a junction with the army mentioned. I am explaining my views to M. de Longueuil on every supposed case. You would not fail to dispute the advance of the English with your two feluccas without, however, risking them too much as they will be of great use to us from time I to time on the river. These feluccas will follow the English, and pass them, if possible, j to warn M. de Longueuil of their coming. You are aware that we are far from being able to keep troops encamped at Three Rivers. In regard to the militia of the Government of Quebec and that of Three Rivers, 11 hope they will be ready to follow you with equal activity and zeal in case of need. The \ circular letter which I sent them will have inclined them in that direction. All other j considerations must give way to the safety of the Colony. There liés the true interest j of all in general and of each in particular. Besides I count a great deal on the con-1 fidence which you will inspire in the militia, at least of your own neighbourhood. It is ] a matter in regard to which I beg you not to relax your efforts. You have my consent j to keep the transport La Marie at Three Rivers, as you will have to draft sailors, from j it for the two feluccas. M. de Longueuil has sent you 15 Acadians who are seamen. M. Sauvage has got together some sailors. There are some also in the hospital at Three Rivers. The former, and such of the latter as have recovered, will embark on ] the second felucca when she passes that place. She will leave immediately. It is a capital idea of yours to place eight pounders on this transport. M. de Pont le Roy will make ball of this calibre. I am also writing him to have the gun-carriages built. I depend greatly on your exertions and resources to ensure a prompt passage of the] rivers and channels for your troops. The two Englishmen you sent me have arrived. I am having them closely examined. You will find enclosed herewith replies to the letters of Sieurs Grandin and Legris. j I beg you to send back their couriers at once, and tell them that they will be well paid] on delivering the letters. I have seen the statement of the number you have to feed at the front. I very] much doubt if our provisions will suffice for their subsistence for any considerable time. I It is very desirable that circumstances should admit of your decreasing this number. ■ Do all you can in this direction, but above all take measures so as not to keep any useless mouth. You saw by my last that oxen were to be sent to you from Three Bivers.] The Intendent has forwarded to you some armourers tools. See that your militia] have their arms put in good order promptly. You will follow the same order of march as was followed in the Quebec campaign;] that is to say the Militia who were attached the Languedoc regiment will march with] them and form a separate corps. Do not forget that these militia must keep their rations and those of their soldiers] ready for the campaign. You know how esential this is. I am going to send M. de Longueuil three gunners and one bombardier. I have the honour to be with the strongest and most sincere regard, your very humble and very obedient servant, VAUDREUIL. M. Domas. Montreal, 16th June, 1760. Answered on the 18th. Sir,—At last some of that news from France that we have been so long desiring] has reached us. It is regretable that the vessels that brought it did not arrive sooner ; j we should have been pefectly at ease ; with no lack of provisions, munitions, merchan-j dise, etc., nor need we have had any anxiety as to the preservation of the colony. The] letters I have received from the Minister assure me on the one hand that we shall have] peace towards the middle of the Campaign, and on the other that, provided we can hold! out against the English forces now in North America, we need fear nothing, as the! LETTERS OF VAUDREUIL, ETC 47 BESfSIONAL PAPER No. 18 inemy can not reinforce them in any way, at least not in the matter of troops ; and ■hat we are going to make the most powerful efforts to crush him in Europe. I send ou a copy of the promotion list. The Court greatly praises our troops and the Can- Idians, but defers the arrangement, I had proposed, for these two corps to the close of lhe Campaign, that is to say the conclusion of peace. I expect other advices from the lessels at any moment. It was M. de St. Simon who brought me the first letters and I know that^ Messieurs Aubert and La Bruer should bring me duplicates and triplicates. I desire you not to make known this ship news so as not to start the English in larch of the vessels where they lie in the Baye des Chaleurs, I shall communicate fuller details to you in a few days when I shall have all my fetters. I have the honour to be, with the warmest and most sincere sentiments, Sir, your ■ery humble and very obedient servant. VAUDREUIL, 11. Dumas. I have acted as you desired with the person you named. I did not spare him, but Ie appeared to me firm. I gave him 24 hours for reflection, after which I intimated to lim that it would be too late to change his mind. It will be well to make all possible enquiries without any mincing of matters. (An incomplete sentence follows : "Il vous plusieurs lous votre protection et quelqu'un pour vous,") AU the letters I have received by — are very satisfactory. Montreal, 18 June, 1760. * Sir,—I have received the letter you did we the honour to write to me on the 15 If this month. It is very desirable that you find persons sufficiently well posted to be at all times acquainted with the strong and the weak points of the enemy's marine forces, but I ■now you cannot do the impossible. It is for you, Sir, to select the officers whom you believe to be best fitted to com- îand on the south shore. I am writing accordingly to M. de Repentigny that you will lequire M. Hertel, and also another officer of his garison. M. de Bayeul being sick lannot be sent. With regard to the troops it is necessary as a matter of fact that there ■hould be some, so as to give tone to the inhabitants. You can draw them from the lèverai pickets. M. Rousseau is not here. iHe commands the detachment which escorts the English ■risioners to St. Frederic. I have no objection to your giving orders to these officers on all points connected Irith their mission. We must turn our two feluccas to the best possible account. There is nothing to add to the measures which you have taken to secure boats for ■he passage of the rivers. You should by this time have received the armourer's tools, and the medicines. I am about to increase the number of your militia from this district to 250 men, as | have previously informed you. Considering our scarcity of provisions it is impossible ■or me to make the number greater. I will cause the militia men who deserted from your command to be punished. I have already sent you the list of promotions. I do not know whether I stated ■hat the pensions and gratuities I had asked for have been deferred to the end of the Bear. The Minister assures me that they will not be forgotten. I am very well satis- lied with the letters he has written to me. Although we have not received the aid I Bequested, the King has none the less at heart the preservation of the colony. He ■ounts much on the efforts that we will put forth, and expects that peace will come to ■ur relief in the course of the campaign. This is an accurate summary of what I have learned that is of interest. We have no information as to the enemy's movements on our front. One of his ■ickets on the 15 of this month penetrated as far as the portage of St. Thérèse. They 18—17i* CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1905 burned one store with a few houses, and took several prisoners. I think that it is the : same party which M. de Lange met recently. Our two corverts are well armed and in a commanding position on Lake Ontario. You know the sincerity and strength of the sentiment with which I am, Sir, Your < verv humble and very obedient servant, VAUDREUIL. M. Dumas, Endorsed, à Monsieur, Monsieur Dumas, Commandant sur la frontière à Dechambeault Vaudreuil. Montreal, 21st June, 1760. -Sir,—I have received the letter you did me the honour to write me on the 18th of this month. MM. Aubert and La Bruyère should arrive before long ; they were to leave sjxl days after M. de St. Simon, but they are not as good walkers as he is. I hardly think the English will send their largest vessels to attack ours which have arrived at Restigouche ; nevertheless I will warn the latter so that they may he cautious.. I do not see of what use the redoubt which the English are erecting at Montmorency Falls can be to them. Can they have had recent news from Europe 1 Arei they afraid that a fleet is coming to our assistance 1 For my part I am more inclined! to believe in peace than in anything else. The prisoners and deserters mentioned in your report have not yet arrived. The[ lively chase that M. Laroche Beaucour gave to the English detachment which came toi reconnoitre his advance guard was a very creditable feat, and one that must havej impressed the enemy considerably. Sieur Dussault who deserted from Quebec has arrived. I should have beenl pleased, however, if you had given me a detail of all that he said. I beg that you will! keep this in mind in future ; because, with your letters at hand containing such infor-f mation, I am able to recall all facts of interest. You are not going to run short of beef. On the^ very day on which you wrote aj lot of oxen were sent from Three Rivers. I am surprised that the English should have put the. priests you mention on ship board, because in so doing they are violate ing the principal articles of the capitulation. The instruction you gave to Sieur de Grande Rivière is all right. I feel sure that! our post at Pointe aux Trembles has taken proper measures with respect to the three] hundred men whom the English have placed at Ste. Foi. There is no news of interest! here. I have the honour to be, Sir, most sincerely, your very humble and obedient servant VAUDREUIL. M. de Longueuil will send you some pilots, whom I beg you will employ as yon] may jiidge best. V.

De tous les tems la navigation du Canada a été regardée comme une navigation ■très épineuse, elle l'Est effectivement ; mais ce n'est que les brumes qui la rendent telle, les I dangers réels, c'est à dire les hauts fonds, iles et Batures dangereuse, ne commencent ■ que bien avant dans le fleuve, ce qui ne demande pas une pratique de longue haléne Imais depuis le grand banc jusqu'au bic il faut une pratique qui ne peut s'acquérir que ■ par une navigation de plusieurs années et une attention singulière pour connaître les I différents fonds des bancs qu'on a à traverser, leurs étendues et leur distances respectives ; I afin de pouvoir régler sa route lorsqu'on veut profiter du beau temps et donner dans le I golfe, comme dans la rivière en tems de brume, ont sent bien d'abord qu'il est nécessaire d'avoir une bonne carte1, mais outre une bonne carte il faut encore la connaissance I des qualités et quantités des fonds dans différents bancs, et une combinaison de vents ■ qui ont régnés ou qui se forment subitement après un calme de 24 heures et p,us, les I Baies immenses qu'il y a dans la partie du sud de l'ile de terre neuve et de S' L aurent I vous attirent considérablement lorsque sur tout les vents ont régnés depuis le N. O. ■ jusqu'au N. E. et qu'ils viennent à se ranger au S. E. Sud, au S. O. on sent bien qu'alors | il faut de toute nécessité que les eaux qui les ont sorties de ses baies et golfes y rentrent |sur tout lorsqu'elles sont poussées par un vent du large j'en ai vu des expériences sur- |tout dans le golfe en 91,re 1740 en retournant de québec en france ayant essuyé un coup | de vent de S. E. entre Gaspay et les iles aux oiseaux, nous eûmes un calme de 24 heures I et la brume ne dissipa que lorsque le vent se renvoya à Ouest, après le coup de vent | nous nous faisions par notre estime environ à 10 lieues au Nord des dittes iles aux | oiseaux, mais j'assurai à Mr De la Pauzai qui Commandait le Ruby que la première | terre que nous verrions ce Seroit l'Ile Royal ou cap de Ray ce qu'il eut de la peine à I croire ; mais si tôt que la brume fut dissipée nous nous trouvâmes entre l'Ile S' Paul et I le cap de Ray à peu près à mi canal, la différence de l'Estime à cette vue de terre étoit I de 23 lieues pareille chose m'est arrivée dans le fleuve et l'orsque je ipassai l'Escadre de I Mr Dubois de la Mothe par le détroit de Belle-ile, il est arrivé à plus eurs bâtiments de I se trouver dans la Baie S' George, se croyant encore dans le Nord des iles aux oiseaux I et il y en a qui s'y sont perdu, ou n'entre guère mois vite dans le golfe et dans la rivière I par les raisons contraires2. Je commencerai par donner une idée des précautions qu'il faut prendre lorsqu'on va I en Canada, il est d'abord essentiel de s'assurer de l'accord du grand banc, pour cet effet il faut lorsqu'on en approche sonder souvent pour s'assurer autant qu'il est possi- I ble de cet accord de l'Est, souvent on a des indices certains des approches du dit banc, I soit par des oiseaux qui ne s'éloignent guéres que des fonds comme pénigoueu et gode, I ou loup marin à 10 à 15 lieues du banc, rarement plus loin, l'orsqu'on s'est bien assuré I du bord du banc, on navigue selon le tems mais toujours en s'entretenant entre 45 à 44° de l'attitude et tacher de sortir du grand banc par 46° pour aller chercher le banc avert par cette l'attitude et le traverser selon sa direction c'est à dire en prenant un peu plus du I Nord, si on faisoit tout ce trajet sans avoir de hauteur, j'aimerai mieux m'entretenir sur I le banc avert ; pour attendre une bonne latitude observée ou la vue de terre que de ris- I quer d'aller chercher L'ile Royale ; un seul accident arrivé doit nous faire tenir sur nos gardes, en 17281a flûte du Roy le Chameau allant à Québec périt corps et bien sur File Celle de Mr Ballin est assez bonne quant à la route depuis le grand banc jusqu'à l'entrée du fleuve On doit ranger autant que faire se peut entre 45° et 44° de latitude. CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1J Royale, il y a apparence que ce bâtiment avoit pris le banquereau pour le banc avert et qu'il croiyoit aller chercher le Cap de Nord ou l'ile S( paul, il est certain que dans ce tems la on ne connoissoit pas bien la qualité des fonds, car les fonds du banc quereau ne sont presque pas tout que du sable et du Gravier au lieu que ceux du banc avert sont des cailloux très remarquables, ces cailloux sont de la grosseur, depuis une noisette jusqu'à une grosse noix et tachés de vin surtout les gros et les petits sont ordinairement couleur d'olives, on trouve ces qualités de fond si on traverse ce banc vers son milieu et sa profondeur et depuis 45 jusqu'à 35 brasses ; mais on ne trouvera ces fonds bien réguliers que l'orsqu'on aura dépassé l'ouverture de la baie de plaisance, car vis-à-vis cette baie on trouve des fosses de 100 brasses qui inquiettent d'autant plus que souvent on ne fait pas une lieu sans trouver tout d'un coup 40 ou 45 brasses ; mais ces grands fonds sont ordinairement des fonds de vase ou sable, je dois faire observer aussi que depuis le bane avert jusqu'à l'île de terre neuve on ne perd pas le fond, on trouve depuis 95 jusqu'à 115 brasses, mais toujours fond de vase noir, au lieu que l'accord du sud du dit banc et jusqu'à perdre le fond toujours en allant vers le Sud, les fonds sont de sable assez fin, voila une observation qu'on ne doit jamais oublier surtout l'orsqu'on sort du grand banc allant vers l'ouest avec des vents contraires et de la brume, en 1737 le jason pensa se perdre sur le chapeau rouge faute de cette. connoissance se croyant au sud du banc avert tandis qu'il étoit au Nord et qui faisant le Nord "pour monter sur le banc avert avec une brume très épaisse il manqua monter sur le chapeau rouge, il est essentiel de s'entrenir par le banc avert lorsque le vent est contraire ou calme, afin que lorsque le vent vient bon et pour l'ordinaire la brume s'en suis on puisse faire route avec certitude, il y a cependant une chose à bien observer c'est de s'entretenir sur ce banc parla latitude de 46° 15 ou 30. et lorsque la brume survient défaire valoir la route S. O. N. O en sondant très souvent, c'est à dire toutes les fois qu'on aura 4 lieues au plus sur cet air de vent jusqu'à ce qu'on ait perdu le fond des batares S' Pierre ; mais pour faire cette manœuvre il faut être assuré d'une bonne hauteur ou la vue de terre avant que de quitter ces fonds et lorsqu'on sera assuré de la latitude et de 3la chute des batures ci dessus, on est sur de son point. J'observerai en passant que la carte de Mr Bellin donne une trop grande distance entre le banc avert et les batures S1 Pierre, et c'est un grand hasard lorsqu'on donne un coup de plomb entre les deux. Je n'estime pas plus de deux lieues de l'un à l'autre et son banc avert est trop court de 10 lieues dans la longueur de S. E. S. à O. N. O. lors donc qu'on est assuré d'une bonne hauteur et de la chute des fonds à deux ou trois lieues près, ma méthode est de faire 20 lieues à 0.4 N. O. du monde et si la brume continue ou que ce soit de nuit, alors je fait valoir la route le N. N. O. du monde et je donne dans le golfe à peu près à mie canal entre l'ile S' paul et le cap de Ray, je fait cette route de N. N. O. encore 20 lieues et alors je fait valoir la route le N. O. pour aller chercher les fonds des iles aux oiseaux qui portent environ 5 lieues au large dans l'Est, les fonds sont d'un sable très fin et rouge dans la partie du S. S. E. des dites iles, les fonds beaucoup plus au large sont du gros sable ou gravois, lorsqu'on est assuré de ces fonds et qu'on s'estime dépassé les iles, on fait valoir la route le N. 0.4 O. et lorsqu'on s'estimera à 15 lieues des iles dans ces alignements, si on veut encore assurer son point, on pourra donner quelques coups de plombs pour trouver un fond de 55 à 60 brasses gros gravois qui est une continuation du banc aux orphelins et qui en forme la pointe, si on était plus Est que la Direction du S. E. et N. O. des iles aux oiseaux on ne trouve point de fond et conséquemment si on est plus Ouest on trouve moins d'Eau, mais si on ne trouve point de fond c'est une preuve qu'on est trop est et alors on prend un peu plus du Ouest que la route que j'ai indiqué, jusqu'à ce que l'on s'estime Est à Ouest de la baie de gaspay, alors dans la crainte que la baie de Chaleur ne vous attire à Ouest plus que l'Estime, je conseille si la brume est épaisse et qu'on ne veuille pas perdre de temps en restant bord sur bord on aie cape, je conseille d'aller chercher4 les fonds du gros de l'ile Danticosty, cette ile porte des fonds jusqu'à 4 lieues au large dans presque toute sa longueur à la partie du Sud, il n'est pas besoin d'avertir qu'on doit aller chercher les fonds à petite voile et en sondant souvent, on voit s De la chute des Batur6> des iles St-Pierre à l'ile St-Pàul, il y a 38 lieues. 4 Les fonds des iles D'anticosty sont de gros graviers et souvent de roche. être très prés pour les appercevoir, toute^la grandëterre esTHTes saiîië ULflUl On Ro; qu'i ce 1 son cail une . d'ol fon l'on tro- pas ord ave 115 jus< une alla pen sud ter cha' ou ( puis tret vak 4 lit Piei vue 3 la cart Piei n'es lieui hau lieui valo entr alor, qui dans sabl fait gnei pour aux N.

I Ce que j'ai dis jusqu'à présent ne regarde que le tems de brume dans le beau tems, te navigation est très aisée, mais les temps clairs sont rares sur tout dans le mois de n, juillet et août, l'orsqu'on est entré sur le banc avert si le tems le permet et qu'il ■se assez clair pour accoster la terre, il sera bon de prendre connaissance du chapeau Buge ou des iles S' Pierre pour prévenir la brume, afin quêtant bien assuré de son Bnt on puisse donner dans le golfe sur tout si le vent est de la partie de l'Est, c'est à e depuis le N6.

E. de cette quantité de lieues, je l'ai vérifié sur les lieues avec Mr Dubois de BMothe.ces cartes donnent trois grandes lieues de distance de plus qu'il n'i en a mis les iles aux oiseaux jusqu'au cap des rosier. L'orsqu'on entre en rivière si le vent est à l'Est ou S. E. quoiqu'il n'i ait point de une il est bon de ranger un peu plus la côte du Sud que celle du Nord ; mais si les its sont contraires il faut si tot qu'on a doublé l'ile Dantiscostie gagner la côte pour lir la ressource des mouillages en cas de nécessité.

In the present state of things and taking into account the character of Sr. Maillart, there is no other way of restoring peace than by recalling this missionary. Proposes to take the orders of the King to that effect and this determination is reached all the more willingly from the fact that he had learnt he had constituted Sr. Miniac his vicar-general as well for Acadia as in Ile Royale. The Provincial of the Récollets regrets his departure from the usage of his predecessors of naming the Superior of the Récollets his vicar-general at Ile Royale.

The abandonment of the working would be an oxtreme measure, for besides renounc-1 ing the advantages the colony might obtain, there would be an actual loss I to the King of 192,642 livres, the amount of the advances to the Compagnie I des Forges. Besides, the merchants who have made advances would be met ] with the preference held by the King on the effects of Sr. Cuznet, cashier I of the Company. On the other side, to carry on the working for account | of the King would be necessarily onerous. It only remains to form a new ■ company, but there are no people in the colony sufficiently well to do to take it in hand, and it would be difficult to form a company in France under | an obligation to reimburse the King. There would be no other way than to give to a company the exclusive privilege of the sale of iron in Canada in ] spite of the inconvenience that would result. A person has offered to form ] a company on this basis. As regards the advances made by the King he ] might take over the establishment at the expiration of the privilege.

It is evident that these returns were not exact, otherwise the colony would have found itself long ago unable to maintain its commerce. What is surprising is that the trade of Canada does-not make the progress that could be looked for. It is certain that the population increased and the cultivation of the land developed, as well as the fishery establishments. Why then does trade not show a proportionate increase? lt will be well to look into the cause of this position of affairs. Folio 78, 3 pages. The same to M. Vallier. Has received his letter conveying information of the decision taken to send one of the priests-of the Seminary of Quebec to Acadia. Has been named clerical member of the Supreme Council of Quebec. Folio 79£, 1 page. The same to MM. de Beauharnois and Hocquart. In view of the condition in which the Montreal General Hospital is found a definite decision must be taken as to that establishment. It has been proposed to bring into the institution some of the Religieuses from France, and also to give the charge of it to the Filles Séculaires. The opinion of the present Bishop is that it should be connected with the Hôtel-Dieu. This proposition would have the advantage of diminishing the number of the religious communities, and that merits consideration, but it has also its inconveniences. Look into these different proposals with the Bishop. Folio 80, 2 pages. The same to the Bishop of Quebec. The first thing to do before deciding anything with regard to the Montreal General Hospital is to take fully into account the financial condition of the institution. Has had a memorandum on this subject prepared, which he forwards to M. de Beauharnois, showing the property possessed in France by the Frères Charron and their debts. It is now a question of making an inventory of their possessions and debts in Canada. His project would have the advantage of suppressing one religious community. Should consult with MM. de Beauharnois and and Hocquart. Advantages of -the appointment to. Gathering of tithes. This is a delicate question. Should at the same time look into the question whether it is advisable to exempt the religious communities from tithes. The King is satisfied of his intentions with regard to the trade in eau-de-vie, and he has given orders to keep down abuses. Approves his conduct in respect of the Sr. Le Verger, missionary at Ste. Anne. Folio 81, 3 pages. The same to the same.

The'President of the Navy Board to M. de Beauharnois. Has reason to believe, by a letter that M. de Bienville has received from the Sr. de Bertet, major commanding in Illinois, that the Sioux, not satisfied with having broken the peace that they had themselves solicited, have engaged the Foxes to act with them in undertaking something against the French, and that the Sakis, being unwilling to join, had separated from them. This information may be false or exaggerated, but it will be advisable to closely watch the movements of these Indians. The rumour that the Illinois and Chicachas were concerting together was without foundation and the proof is that the Illinois have made war against the Chicachas, without much result so far. Has reason to believe that the Chicachas, tired of the losses • they have sustained,, will leave their lands and retire towards Carolina.

There is a question in England of not renewing the trading privilege in Hudson Bay given to a particular company and of making the trading free. The reasons given are of lively interest to Canada, for it is claimed by this means they will be able on the one hand to push their establishments to the great lakes and cut communications between Canada and Louisiana, and on the other make the discovery of the Western Sea. This project is strongly supported, and the danger seems still greater in the case of a single company than in that of free.trading. No matter which course may be adopted it appears that the objects mentioned will be kept in view. Look into this matter together to study the best methods of frustrating the designs of the English.

This project is one of great interest to Canada.

States that in the light then give on the choice to be made between Port La Joie, St. Pierre aud Hired Rivers as chief town of Ile St Jean, they absolutely exclude Port La Joien It is certain, in effect, that if the soil there is not so good as elsewhere, i, there is neither commerce or fishery to be followed, if the position is no j central it will be better to choose another place. It is surprising that ij should have been the first choice. From their information it would seem thai St. Pierre should be selected, but the fact that the harbour is closed by 1 bar is a great obstacle, and it seems to him Three Rivers should be preferred to it as the water is deep and it offers good shelter. It will be well t examine the question more minutely.

Concerning the confiscation of the effects of Etienne Duvaux on the Schooner La Concorde of Louisbourg. Folio 30, \ page. The same to M. Bigot. Has received his report of the fishery of Ile Royale for the year 1742. It seems by this that the product of this fishery has been only 1,782,680 pounds against 2,585,440 the preceding year. This diminution is due to the failure of the fishery as the number of vessels was not less than that of 1741. Explanations on the subject of the regulations passed. The introduction of English codfish into Ile Royale must be stopped. Concerning the statement of vessels constructed in the colony and of those purchased. It is extraordinary that those who have sent this codfish to San Domingo were not satisfied if the hurricanes experienced by others off the island of Guadaloupe are remembered. The action he has taken of establishing a sheep butchery at Ile Royale can only be approved, but the lessee should be obliged to supply himself in part in Canada in order to increase the markets of this colony, as was done in the case of the beef butchery. Folio 31, 4 pages. The same to the same. It is to be hoped that the progress of cultivation in Ile Royale and Ile St. Jean is such as to dispense with the establishment of storehouses on the King's account in the colony, which would be subject to many abuses. What he states as to the quality of the soil at Port Dauphin and at Petit Brador and of the possibility of succeeding there with wheat should induce the inhabitants to pay more attention to the cultivation of the land. It is not practicable at least for the present to send out colonists from France. As to the Ile St. Jean it is grievous that the fires have partly consumed the crops, and that some of the inhabitants even have perished in the flames. These accidents are becoming too frequent to justify means not being sought to prevent them. Respecting the works for lodging the garrison at Port Dauphin. Has done well to prohibit the curé of Niganiche to perform marriages between the girls of that island and the French settled at Cap de Ré. The order he has given to prevent these women going to rejoin their husbands will have the effect of forcing the latter to return. It does not appear that anything can be grown except grass at Niganiche. Folio 33, 4 pages. The same to MM. Duquesnel and Bigot.

As some English are also found in it, it was agreed -with the English Court that measures should be taken in common to drive out both. Events having occurred to prevent the execution of this intention it will be well to take the matter up again. In the meantime all that lies in their power should be done to suppress the foreign trade going on at this place. Will not permit vessels to complete their loading with English codfish.

CANADA. ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES CONCERNING THE COLONY. The President of the Navy Board to M. de Beauharnois. The Chérakis !( explain that they have made incursions into Louisiana only for the purpose of revenging themselves on the Indians of Canada. It will be well for him to confer with M. de Vaudreuil on this matter to il decide what is best to be done to put a stop to the incursions of these Indians. Folio 1, 1^ pages.

It is not without sorrow, after the hopes of a I good harvest to which the disappearance of the caterpillars gave rise, thatjj it is learned a new misfortune has greatly affected the situation regardingjl the crops. Have given orders for the dispatch of 6,000 quintals of flour.ll Folio 5, 2 pages. The same to M. Hocquart. The expense occasioned by the forwarding ofjl food to Canada is not the worst inconvenience of the scarcity experiencedil in the colony. The interruption of the trade in provisions between Canada]! and Ile Royale and other colonies is another and a greater. It is to bejj hoped the next harvest will enable Canada to provision Ile Royale beforal the winter. The ribs of spruce timber that were used in the flute Le Cawd^ being pronounced very suitable for the construction of vessels, use must befl made of the same material for the ship of 60 guns that is to be constructed! at Quebec, and which the King has named Le St. Laurent. In the regulajj tions that he should propose for the preservation of the forests, should w\ included an article respecting spruce timber fit for vessel's ribs.

Respecting the quality of the different kinds of timber used in building the flute Le Canada. This flute, which has returned from the islands has been fitted out for a fresh voyage, and on her return an even better judgement can be formed as to the value of the various descriptions of wood that have entered into her construction. The trial of red pine for the masts of the Canada caused him to hope this timber would be used for the masts of the Caribou. On the subject of the Castor. It is to be hoped a good pinery of the red variety will be found. That of Saurel can no longer furnish large timber. The one of which the Sr. de Tonnancour speaks, on the St. François river, does not appear to be worth more than that found by the Sr. Baron on the Chateaugué river. As to the timber of the Baie St. Paul it cannot be cut down and transported to Quebec without great difficulty. Hopes the iron he is to send will be free from the defects in the manufacture that were found in that employed on the Caribou. Folio 8, 4 pages. The same to the same. Bills of exchange. Expenses.

It is a pity the incident that ocourred between a party of Nontagnés and an English detaohment has not had the effeob of raising the. Iroquois against the latter. In the present situation of affairs it would have been of great importance. In the meantime, as it is probable that these Indians dissimulate their resentment it would be well to arouse it or to foment it by the means of the Iroquois of Sault St. Louis. Folio 20, 4 pages. The President of the Navy Board to MM. Beauharnois and Hooquart,! It is to be regretted that the Srs. D'Aragorry have not carried out theiri whole fishery enterprise in the river St. Lawrenoe.

The account that the Sr. de la Véranderye has given of the progress of his discovery should not cause a more favourable judgment than in the past on the attention that he gives to it or the desire he has to perfect it.

Has already represented to him tha': in case of a rupture with England he has nothing to fear on the side of the sea, seeing that the attempts of the English in this direction have always proved fruitless. They would still have the same difficulties to surmount without making very considerable preparations and expenditures. There is reason to believe, besides that if they undertake armamencs of that importance they will use them for other objects that excite their interest to a greater degree. Will in the meantime neglect nothing. There is ground to think the colony will have no greater reason for fear on the land side, the forts of St. Frédéric and of Chambly and the fortifications of Montreal securing it against attack. In any case he ought to have sufficient troops to hold in check a considerable force. Hopes they will be able to take the offensive, and in that case, if he believes it will not cause a hostile movement on the part of the Iroquois, he could attack fort Chouengouen. He could also attack the English ports on the Hudson Bay side and as in the past disturb the New England and New York settlements. Another object that holds a strong place in the heart of the King is the conquest of Acadia, it is from Ile Royale that the attack^ should be directed. Will examine the question whether an enterprise could not be attempted by land. M. Duquesnel has orders to look after the inhabitants of Acadia. It is to be hoped that the Iroquois will observe neutrality as they did during the last war, but it may be relied on that the English will neglect nothing to induce them to declare for them. The choice of commandants for the posts requires particular circumspection, for on their conduct will depend the events that are to be feared or hoped for on the part of the Indians.

The colony of Ile Royale excites the jealousy of the English to a high pitch, and it is to be presumed they will neglect nothing to take possession of it, but they can do nothing of value without the occupation of Louisbourg. For that they would require to make great preparations of such a kind there is nothing to fear for the present year. The King relies much on his zeal and activity, and hopes that if he is not forced to keep to the defensive he will not lose sight of enterprises against Acadia. It is too late this year to prepare an armament specially intended for this conquest by sea. Will submit a plan showing what can be done by land equally from Ile Royale as from Canada. He will do the same with regard to Plaisance. Folio 24, 2.pages. The same to the same.

Is well persuaded he has done all in his power to induce the inhabitants to make a good seeding so that the colony may be in a condition to supply foodstuffs to the Islands and to Ile Royale. The King has destined strong squadrons for the Southern Islands so that nothing need prevent the merchants of Canada following their ordinary trade. It would no doubt have been better to have had their vessels convoyed, but the expense would have been too great. It was a great impru- • dence on the part of Captain Dulonquet to carry the crew of the English vessel he had taken to the Sr. Brouagues' house. It is to be hoped that no bad results will follow from the knowledge the two pilots who were in the party were able to gain of this post. 112. The same to MM. de Beauharnois and Hocquart.

Folio 28, 2 pages. The same to the same. If the English Settlements on the shores of Hudson Bay have been destroyed in accordance with the plan of M. de Beauharnois, this success will have the effect of changing their views ofl aggrandisement on that side.

Desire that the Indians at least hold to the promise they have given to drive out the iLnglish at this post. It seems to be evident from the journal of the Sr. de la Vérandyrie that neither he nor his children have followed the route which should lead them to the Western Sea. The Sr.| de la Vérandyrie having asked to be relieved of the command of the Postal that he has established, the King approves having given the command to Sr. des Noyelles to whom the adventurer should pay 3,000 livres yearly fori the lease of the posts but does not believe this pfficer will work more sincerely than his predecessor for the discovery of the Western Sea.

The King has been greatly pleased with the sentiments of fidelity expressed by the Indians of the Two Mountains in the harangue that has been transmitted to him.

The Sr. de Lusignan, who commands at la Baye, may have good reasons tc complain of the Sr. Auge and to send him to Montreal, but at the same time it cannot be ignored that most of the officers seek only to disgust tU lessees of the farms of the posts in the hope of re-establishing things on the old footing, and it is this conduct that compels the lessees to send them away.

M. de la Sousaye, who has commanded her, is satisfied with her speed, and with the manner in which she behaves at sea, but they have been obliged to alter her fittings.

It is evident it would be difficult to build large vessels at the shipyard on the St. Charles river, on account of the inconvenience arising from the small quantity of water brought up by the tide in this part, as well as from the difficulty that is experienced at certain times of taking vessels in safety to the roadstead after they have been placed in the water. M. Hocquart will without delay take the proper steps to form a new shipyard at the Cul-de-Sac in order to put it to use as soon as possible for the construction of the St. Laurent.

Folio 61 A, h PaSe- The same to MM. de Beauharnois and Hocquart respecting the St. Maurice forges. As long as the war lasts the formation of a company in France to work these forges cannot be hoped for. In the meantime they should be operated for the account of the King. Has been very glad to see that the receipts for the past year equal the expences. But he should have liked M. Belleville who is responsible for the management to have forwarded the statement. This year two workmen skilled in foundry work will be sent. Had hoped to send a foundryman capable of casting guns but an accident prevented the person engaged from taking ship. By the details of the estimates it seems that the forges and all connected with them represent a sum of 174,849 livres and the advances of the King 192,642 livres. Nothing can be decided now as to the remission of the balance asked by those interested in the old company ; it will depend on the arrangements that can be made with a new company. As to the individual debts contracted by the Sr. Cugnet, it is fortunate for him that the creditors give him time and facilities for payment. Hopes that with the lease of the three posts granted to him he will be able to meet the price of the lease and his creditors. Folio 62, 2 pages. The same to M. the Bishop of Quebec. Has been informed by the Abbé Pontbriand that the 9,000 livres he was to receive have been paid, and hopes the special assistance he asked from the clergy has been given him.

Cures, tithes and marriages. The Charron brothers. The King has not been pleased with the conduct of some of the priests of Acadia on the occasion of the campaign that had been planned against that country. He has been informed that only the Srs. Maillard, La Goudalie, Laboret and Le Loutre alone endeavoured to procure assistance for the .French that were sent, and that the Srs. Dosenclaves, curé at Port Royal, informed the English governor exactly of all he was able to learn of the movements of the French and exhorted his parishioners to be faithful to the King of England ; that the Sr. Chevreux, another curé, pronounced the excommunication against those of his parishioners who should take up arms in favour of the French, and that the Sr. Miniac, Vicar-General, concealed his doings better, but that he acted even- more effectually to cause the wreck of the enterprise. Also, the King would have decided to have these three missionaries sent back to France had circumstances permitted, but will give orders that they do not participate in the distribution of funds that he grants for the maintenance of the curés of Acadia. He hopes that on his (the Bishop's) part he will make them aware of his dissatisfaction, and it is for their interest in case the French return to Acadia to efface the unfavourable impressions they have given of their attachment to his service and to the nation. It is claimed they conducted themselves in this manner only in the fear of losing the ease and independence with which they perform their duties. The King's vessel which had been to Louisiana was taken by the English on her return, and is not aware of what had taken place in Louisiana with regard to the missionaries.

The Sr. de Cadillac having been obliged to leave Detroit for Louisiana, had to abandon the settlements that he had formed. His widow and children claimed that the post had been given to him with the title of seignory. On an examination of their claims in 1733, they were sent back to be looked into on the spot. The matter rested there, but the son of the Sr. La Mothe de Cadillac having renewed the claim, he is very glad to inform him on this subject. The command that his father had at this post conferred^ on him no rights of seignory nor of concessions, since the grants that were made were declared null by Letters Patent in 1716. He even so little claimed such rights that in 1720 he obtained a warrant conceding him lands on which he had.built at Detroit outside the walls of the fort and the lands he had cleared on condition of establishing the boundaries of these lands and making a report in two years, which he did not do. After the warrant, it appears that he asked to be re-imbursed his expenses and in any case to re-enter on possession of his property. On these new demands it was ordered by decree of 19 May, 1722, that the warrant of 1720 shall be executed and that he should besides enjoy the right of hunting and fishing on his lands, that he should be replaced in possession of the household goods belonging to him that were found at Detroit with power to him to proceed against those who had taken possession of his other effects and that an order should be sent to him for 2,000 livres on the Royal Treasury in full indemnification. As these lands have been granted to others and it is desirable to put an end to this affair the King has agreed to the proposition made to him to refer the whole question to be enquired into on the spot.

The same to the same. Has learned by way of Martinique, of a revolt of the Louisbourg garrison in December that threatened nothing less than to hand over the place to the enemy. On the first notice received, caused Le Vigilant, 64 guns, to proceed to join a frigate of 30 guns that had left Cadiz for Ile Royale on the 9th of March. This frigate, finding Louisbourg blockaded by war ships and privateers, returned to France and as he is informed that the garrison still persisted in a state of revolt and that the town was invested on all sides, it is to be feared it has been taken by the enemy. The King has caused a squadron of 7 vessels to leave Brest for Ile Royale under the command of M. Perier de Sal vert. If he arrives in time to deliver the place, he will take the command of the colony and send a frigate to Quebec tovannounce the condition of affairs and ask for aid. If on the contrary he finds the place taken, he has orders to attempt the conquest of Acadia, and he counts on the assistance of Canada to maintain himself at Port Royal if he can take'possession of that place.

The news received of late from I Ile Royale is most regrettable. It seems by the letters from the Com-] mandant and from M. Bigot, dated in the early days of May, that on the] one side the garrison persisted its mutinous condition and that the port of Louisburg had been blocked since the_month of March by the enemy's j vessels ; and on the other the King's frigate La Prénommée, having arrived there on the 22nd of the same month, was unable to enter the! port, and could only ascertain that a fight was going on between Le Vigil lant and the enemy's vessels. In the meantime, as the officers of La\ Renommée have been informed that the inhabitants, to the number of 600 j to 700, defended themselves, and that there was food to last until September, it is to be presumed the place can hold out long enough for succour to] arrive. Should send Le Mars, Le St. Michel, La Renommée and some other vessels, hoping this squadron will be sufficient to relieve the town if j there is still time. And if otherwise, these vessels might act against Port! Royal or for some other purpose. Folio 110, 1A_ pages. The same to M. Bigot de la Mothe.

The King is pleased with the pains he has taken for the security of the fleet of merchant vessels he has convoyed to Martinique, but did not look for his return without his having attempted something against the English colonies in the islands, all the more that those colonies were in a most lively state of alarm on the subject and not in a condition to be able to make a serious resistance. Folio 134J, 1 page. The same to M. le Maréchal de Noailles. he was in a position to reply to the questions of the taking of Louisbourg. It is true that one of the strongest plans in America. The plans of the fortifications had been prepared by engineers of repute sent from France. The Maréchal d'Asfeldt, who supplied these engineers, has been informed of all they had done, and good reports had been received, with the exception of the port batteries on which they were engaged last summer. It is certain in any case they had been reduced to a grievous condition by the numerous guns of the besiegers, and it does not appear that they exerted themselves sufficiently to prevent the enemy erecting siege batteries of a kind that effected breaches at various places. He is assured that the artillery of the place had been put out of service. What chiefly contributed to the surrender was the capture of Le Vigilant, the commander of which vessel, instead of entering the port as he should have done, was drawn by one of the enemy's frigates leeward into the midst of the enemy's squadron which captured her. This vessel would have been able to save the place, which was sufficiently provided with food. There were however but five-thousand pounds of powder remaining when the place surrendered. It does not seem that they offered all the resistance that could have been desired. It must be said that the spring has been exceptionally fine which greatly favoured the besiegers. Results, from the point of view of commerce. The English are aware of the advantage of this position, and according to news received from London there has been a question of presenting an address to the King that Louisbourg shall not be restored, but it is said this proposal was not adopted.

Knows by the letters of MM. Du Chambon and Bigot, from the commencement of May that the disturbance was still continuing at that period and the talk of many soldiers was that they were ready to hand over the place to the enemy, whenever the latter should appear.

Will take all necessary precautions that the English! vessels which are to transport the garrison and the inhabitants of He] Royale to Ile d'Aix, obtain no information that they can use to advantage. Folio 79, 1 page. The same to M. de Macnamara Has received his letters conveying intelligence of the English squadron that is cruising between 45 and 47 de-] grees, and of the difficulty in which he finds himself by reason of his large convoy, under such critical circumstances. These obstacles would not haves presented themseves if he had left in the course of last month. The English squadron met by the packet-boats coming from Ile Royale can be no] other than that of 12 vessels which left Gibraltar the 30th of July, joined! by some vessels that might have been at Lisbon, and probably as well by the three commanded by Vice-Admiral Martin that were at La Manche. It seems by letters of the 20th, from London, that Vice-Admiral Martin, j who left Spithead on the 28th of June, to cruise for two months only, has had new orders to cruise during a third month for the purpose of intercepting.the convoy ready to sail from France as well as that coming from America and the Indies. On the other hand, they are arming in haste at Spit- heâd a strong squadron to be commanded by Admiral Vernon on which I 3,000 men are to be embarked. It is questionable whether Vice Admirall Martin will prolong his cruise for a month, seeing he cannot have pro- j visions to keep the sea all this time without re victualling. It must be the ■■ same, as regards the squadron of 12 vessels which cannot long delay their! return to England. The most favourable period for sending off our convoy seems to be the interval between the return of these vessels and the departure j of Admiral Vernon's squadron. From all appearances, the last named squadron, seeing its force, will make some attempt on our coasts in the direction of Iles de Ré and d'Oléron, and might attack our convoy on the roadsteads of La Rochelle and Ile d'Aix. Thus, there are still more risks in delaying the departure than in sailing. It might be more prudent to send at once two or three coast guard corvettes for discovery, taking different routes. Will consult with M. de Barrialt. Will send him a courier if he receives news from London. Folio 80, 4 pages. The same to MM. the Syndics of the Chamber of Commerce of Aunis. On the same subject.

M. de Karrer will take his orders with regard to the Swiss. Has reason to believe that many officers do not like this affair being too deeply probed, in the fear they have that the soldiers might them. This is but one reason the more for Folio 84, 2 pages. September 14. The same to M. Karrer. It is but too true that the Swiss detachment at Ile Royale was the first to raise the standard of revolt. And if, after placing themselves in order of battle, on the square, they re-entered the barracks on the promises of one of the officers, it was only to rebuke the French troops for not having followed them when they took up arms. It was after these reproaches that all the French soldiers were gained over, and it is known that the Swiss sergeants were at the head of every move that was made without the help of a single French sergeant. It has been learned from England that what chiefly determined -the enemy to undertake the attack on Louisbourg was the confidence they had in the disposition of the Swiss in the garrison. It is true that in the course of the siege all did well, but such grave events cannot be passed over in silence. Folio 84£, 1 page. September 14. The same to M. de Ricouart.

If Captain Salaberry has been able to approach the coasts of the Gulf, they will be informed of the" measures taken for sending succour to Canada. Has obtained orders from the King for the formation of a sufficiently strong squadron, with four battalions of troops. It will be ready to leave in the course of March. To let them know, and to carry succours, he has caused to be prepared four vessels, of which one, commanded by the Sr. Hiriard, will leave in the course of this month, the second, from Bayonne, commanded by Captain Monséjur, towards the 15th of February, the third, from Brest, about the same time, and the fourth, commanded by the Sr. Chéron, the 1st of March. Details of operations that will be attempted for the retaking either of Louisbourg, or Acadia or Plaisance. Does not believe the English will attempt anything against Canada, for several reasons. First, because New England, which defrayed the cost of the attack on Louisbourg and claims this conquest should belong to it, is. dissatisfied owing to its claim not being admitted. Indemnification has been promised, but nothing has been done, so that this province is not in a condition or in the humour to make the efforts that; would be necessary to realize the hope of conquering Canada. England herself is not in a position to fit out an important expedition against Canada. The country is a prey to civil war. Prince Edward, the eldest son of King James, has gone to Scotland and has placed himself at the head of a powerful party. This compels the Government to recall its troops from the Low Countries and even to engage foreign troops. Folio 1, 3 pages. The same to M. Hocquart. Sends leave of absence for M. Michel.

The frigate Le Castor has been found well constructed in all respects. The masting of cypress is superior to that of the Caribou. But as it has been ascertained that this timber is stronger ', and more flexible in the parts nearest the circumference, it will be best that the trees to be used should not be dressed. The pulleys made of ash are excellent. The King is disposed, when Le St. Laurent is completed, to have a frigate of 60 guns built at Quebec. May in the meantime have the : principal timbers for this vessel prepared. The frigate Le Carcajou, which j on her arrival at Brest had been fitted out for service on the coasts, has gone down in a gale of wind and all her crew have perished. Folio 7, 4 pages.

In deducing what has been paid to the workmen of the old company, there remains a nett profit of 42,846 livres since the working bas been carried on for the King's account, and with the increase of which the establishment is susceptible there might be an important improvement in the receipts. These figures will be useful in the formation of a company. Two new workmen have been engaged for these forges.

The Chev. de Longueuil not being able to absent himself from Detroit, the King has been well pleased to permit him to wear the Cross of St. Louis which has just been conferred on him, and to dispense with the formalities. The King has been much pleased to learn it was determined to send a party into New England. According to the news coming from London, the inarch of this party and its successes had caused lively alarm. As nothing so disconcerts the projects the enemy has formed or may form, it is well to harass them whenever this opportunity arises, and above all, on the side of Hudson Bay. Folio 15, 1^- pages. The same to MM. de Beauharnois and Hocquart. The King is surprised that an enceinte has been commenced at Quebec in consequence of the deliberations had by the assembly convoked by M. de Beauharnois. Does not understand how he could take upon himself such a decision in face of those of the King on many occasions. Will cause the works to be discontinued on the reception of this dispatch and will convoke an assembly of the principal officers and some of the inhabitants of Quebec, to judge whether it would not be better to demolish what has been done rather than go on with the undertaking. Believes he should repeat the reasons against these works. It is considered that this fortification would be a new motive to the English to undertake in case of war the conquest of Canada, because, once masters of a town so strong as Quebec would be, they could consider themselves virtually masters of all Canada. With the strong forces they could put on foot in their colonies in America, and help from England, they would be only too tempted to possess themselves of a town that would afford them immediate protection against us, and against the climate, while, in the contrary case, they could not hope in one season - to take possession of the town and protect themselves the following winter against the cold and the attacks of the Canadians when their fleet had sailed. More than this, in supposing these fortifications necessary, it is not for the King to incur the expense, above all when the funds are less than ever in a condition to give assistance to enterprises of this importance. Finally, this fortification once established, there would be required to defend it a garrison proportioned to its extent, and, besides the expense there would be the difficulty of providing this garrison whilst the kingdom is already drained by the extraordinary levies occasioned by the war. If notwithstanding all this the assembly decides that this fortification should be carried out, it should at the same time consider the imposition of a levy on the inhabitants to provide for it. Folio 16, 2 pages. The same to the same. Has approved the arrangements made with respect to the abandonment of the lease of the post of Frontenac. It is to be hoped that M.

It has come to him that if the Sr. Marin had used more diligence in reaching Louisbourg when he received the orders from M. Du Chambon, he might perhaps have arrived in time to force the English to abandon the. siege. Willingly admits he could do no better. Hopes he will be more sucessful in the expedition he has under-; taken in the direction of Boston. Must not be surprised at the steps that the inhabitants of Ile St. Jean took after the fate of Louisbourg for the preservation of their property. The Sr. Du Vivier, who commanded the detachment on that island, did well, since he could be of no assistance: to the inhabitants, to take it to Quebec. Relies on him to take the best: course as regards the Indians. Has been very pleased to learn that the Chauanons had finally determined to effect their transmigration to the locality indicated, and that they had taken eight English prisoners at Belle j River.

Memorandum from the King to serve as instructions for the Sr. de la Jonquière, Vice-Admiral, Governor and Lieutenant General of New France. Canada although suitable for solid and advantageous settlements, has made but little progress in the course of a rather long number of years. The first inhabitants were principally occupied in trading, drawn thereto by the independence they enjoyed in their operations. The success of those who have devoted themselves seriously to agriculture has served as an example, and for some years the colony has reached a condition offering opportunities to various enterprises profitable to itself and to general commerce, particularly as regards the fisheries and ship-building, which haye enabled it to open up trade with the islands of South America and increase that which it .had already done with the ports of the Kingdom. But this colony is still far from having reached the stage of development to which it can be carried. It is. the intention to employ all practicable means to attain this end.

Believes he may be tranquil on the defence of Canada, which is the principal object. If he cannot retake Louisbourg, he must have at least an equivalent. Should remember that too often the result of a council of war is to give rise to difficulties in the military operations. Thus, he should frequently take responsibilities on himself.

Folio 54, bis, J page. The same to M. le Duc d'Enville In "the campaign he is going to engage in, the King has forseen two cases, that in which Canada might be attacked and that in which the colony would have no attempt to fear from the enemy. There is every ground for the belief that the first will not come to pass. If, however, it should occur, he should go to the assistance of the colony before everything else. But, if, as he has every reason to think, he is not obliged to go to Canada, he will be free to follow-the course that appears the most suitable, for taking the offensive against the English. The King indicates three objects : Ile Royale, Acadia and Plaisance. The first would be the most satisfactory, but he will not attempt the siege of Louisbourg if he does not judge prompt success is assured. Considers, however, that he might commence his operations to the greatest advantage by the enterprise on Acadia which appears to him certain. Would then have to see whether it be advisable to attack Louisbourg, and, if he decides not to do so, he desires that he proceed to take possession of Plaisance, «fee., &c. Folio 54, bis, 2 pages.

Informs them that the King, in recognition of the fine conduct of the Comte Du Guay in his encounter with the squadron of Admiral Townsend, has granted him a pension of 1,200 livres in the Royal Treasury ; and that he has also given to the Captains Bréville, La Mothe Portail and La Vigne Buisson the Brevets of lieutenants of frigate in recompense for their zeal and their valour on that occasion. Folio 60, 1 page. The same to M. le Duc d'Enville. When the transports that sail with his squadron are discharged and he has no further need of them for his operations, he will send them back to France. Folio 60£, \ page. The same to M. le Comte Du Guay. Relating to the pension that the King has granted to him. Folio 61, 1 page, The same to M. le Duc d'Enville. Sees by his letter that he proposes after passing the Capes, to let the vessels going to Canada proceed alone. It seems to him desirable that he detach a frigate from his squadron to conduct them as far as the Strait of Belleisle. Folio 81, bis, \ page. The same to the same. The King is much annoyed at the delays that have occurred in the departure of his squadron, for he feels they may occasion many obstacles to the execution of the orders that he has given him. It is too late to undertake anything, especially against Louisbourg. Besides the succour that the garrison has been able to receive from N ew England and even from England, Admiral Townsend will have had time to reach the place. In spite of all the English forces will be held mostly to cover Louisbourg and he will still have the superiority on the sea. The greatest obstacle will be the season. All the same, he still thinks he will i good conclusion an enterprise on have the necessary time to bring to Acadia. Instructions on what he shall do if he takes possession of Acadia. Folio 81, bis, 4 pages. The same to M. Bart, Vice Admiral. The King has given to his brother the position of captain of the port at Fort Royal, Martinique, with a warrant of lieutenant in the navy. Folio 94^, A page. The same to M. Guillot. Has obtained from the King a gratuity of 500 livres to help the inhabitants of Ile Royale living at St. Servan. Folio 103, l page. The King to M. le Duc d'Enville. Will learn by his frigate La Sirène, if she can join him, of the return to Brest of L'Aurore and le Castor, that he had detached to crui-e at the entrance of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the reasons why M. Davigneau did not await him until the 13th of August at the rendezvous that he had given him. Will be informed at the same time that the convoy prepared in England for Louisbourg had not left by the * * * of last month, but only delayed for a favourable moment to set sail. By the advices he has from other quarters, the English have not found themselves in a condition to attack Canada, th:s year, at least by sea. Folio 112, bis, 1 page. The President of the Navy Board to M. le Duc d'Enville. It is not without pain, as he can imagine, that he has seen L'Aurore and Le Castor return to Brest, as that deprives him of these two vessels. Sends him La Sirène, which will sail by the first favourable wind. It is not to be doubted that the enemy will make the necessary preparations, during the autumn and winter, for an attack in the spring. Hopes he will not meet with too serious difficulties in the enterprise on Acadia. Learns, by the return of the two frigates, that the detachment from Canada had arrived, that he was waited for at Chibuctou, and that everything was sufficiently well provided for to allow him to proceed with his operations. On the other hand, it is claimed that the English, counting on his squadron having been blocked at Tie d'Aix, had sent out their vessels and had distributed them in the ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 79 (SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1746. eptember 8. eptember 8. eptember 10. kptember 19. eptember 21. eptember 30. lecember 16. ecember 17. fecember 27. pcember 27.

Instructions for the Sr. de Sallies, naval lieutenant, commanding the frigate La Sirenne. Will take his route towards Port Royal, unless he learns that the Due d'Enville is elsewhere, in which case he will proceed to join him. If, contrary to appearances, he should find the squadron had returned to Europe, he will not come back without having satisfied himself whether the Due d'Enville had made some settlement in Acadia or elsewhere. In the latter event he will take the dispatches of the officer in command, or even remain if such officer should judge it necessary. Folio 112J bis, \ page. The same to M. Du Vigneau. Should have prolonged his stop at the place of rendezvous and above all ought not to have left on vague information. Folio 112 J bis, A page. The same to M. le Marquis de Paysieul.

The number of vessels that are to sail under the convoy of the Sr. Du Bois de La Mothe is very large, but it is better so than to leave without convoy, to'avoid being taken by the enemy, as happened to the vessels Le Bon and Le Joseph Louis. It is the Sr. Sabatier who is to pay off the debts of Ile Royale. Folio 115J, 1 page. The same to M. Guillot. Grants a new gratuity of 500 livres to the inhabitants of Ile Royale now at St. Malo.

Has given an account to the King of all they have said respecting the situation of the colony in their despatches sent by L'Auguste and Le Tourneur and two other vessels leaving at the same time. Has not approved their in decision in regard to the works on the fortifications. The opinion of the King was, that there were the most weighty reasons for leaving matters as they were instead of undertaking this great work. Nevertheless, he leaves it to them on the condition that if they decided to do it the cost should be borne by the colony. Sees they have gone on with the works, but not with great vigour. They should either do nothing or act vigorously. Will send a squadron to Quebec in March that will be under the command of M. de la Jonquière in going out and of M. de Beauharnois in returning. It will carry the eight companies that served in He Royale, 150 Swiss and 30 gunners. Has received no news of aiiy preparations in England for an expedition against Canada. Folio 1, 2 pages. The same to M. Hocquart. Has been surprised that the bills drawn on the Farmers-General should have amounted to such considerable sums. Believes there have been abuses. Is uneasy about their payment. Certainly cannot support such charges next year. Has been very much annoyed that they considered themselves obliged to retain M. Michel in Canada. Does not know if he can keep the position for him that he had given him. Has granted him an extraordinary gratuity of 3,000 livres. Hopes to be able to place him in France. Folio 2, 1 page. The same to M. de la Jonquière. M. de Beauharnois has furnished him with an account of the condition of the garrisons of the ports of Canada. He tells him the Iroquois appear to be inclined to oppose the destruction of Choueguen, but that in the meantime the successes of the Canadians have caused them to waver. It is of great importance this fort should be destroyed, but it is still more important that the Iroquois should not place themselves on the side of the English. It will be well, as soon as possible, to define the boundary between the government of Louisiana and that of Canada. The present situation results in many inconveniences. Hopes that M. de Longueuil, who commands at Detroit, has been able to make successful incursions against the English settlements at Belle River, and that the same has been done in the direction of Hudson Bay. ' Folio 2, bis, 2 pages. 84 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1747. March 6. March 6. March 6. March 6. 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 ! The same to the same. From what M. de Beauharnois says of the conduct of the Sr. de St. Castin, Senr., the service has not sustained a great loss by his death. Hopes that his son will do better and, in that case, may j be able to extend him some assistance. Will give the medals for distribution among the chiefs of the Indian nations of the upper country who i distinguished themselves by their services. All these nations have promised j to go down to Montreal to follow his orders. Assistance for the widows and children of officers to be taken from the leave-of-absence fund. Has reason to be satisfied in general with the behaviour of the Indians. It is excessively important to keep them in a good disposition. For some time, suspicion was felt of the Indians of Sault St. Louis, by reason of their trading connection with the English. Since the war, they have justified them- j selves by their conduct, which leaves nothing to desire. For this reason, it has been determined not to cause the order of expulsion against the j Dlles. Désauniers to be put into execution. He will decide whether to give effect to the order on the conclusion of peace. The Sr. de là Véranderye, who had been charged with the discovery of the Western i Sea, finding he made a very profitable trade gave his attention chiefly ! to the establishment of trading posts. It is for this reason the King [ has replaced him by M. Des Noyelles. The latter appearing to devote j himself still less to discovery. M. de Beauharnois says he has relieved M. Des Noyelles and that he has chosen M. de la Vérandyrie to replace him. He must be warned that if he does no better than in the past he will be deprived of all commands in the colony. The farming of the posts to private individuals has greatly dissatisfied the officers who were in the habit of working the posts when they were in command. Many of them have done all in their power to thwart the projects of- the lessees and disgust them with their commerce. The Sr. de Céloran has been recalled on this account. There are others against whom he ought to act with vigour if they persist in their obstruction. Folio 3, 6 pages. The same to MM. de la Jonquière and Hocquart. Has made a new arrangement with the Compagnie Des Indes by which it continues during another year after the conclusion of peace the price fixed in 1745 for beaver. Remission to the Sr. de Verchères of one-third of the dues to the Domain. The silence of M. Shirley, Governor of Boston, as to the proposition made to him by M. de Beauharnois for the exchange of prisoners appears to indicate that he will not consent. Will send to France all the prisoners taken at sea that are in the colony, above all those of the frigate that the Sr. de Saliez captured last year on the coast of Acadia whom the Sr. de Ramezay caused to be sent to Quebec. Folio 6, 1J pages. The same to the same. It is vexatious that the 3,400 firearms from the manufactory of Liège sent to Canada last year are found of bad quality. Has seen to their substitution. Has approved the leasing of the posts of Temicamingue, Michipicoton and Camanistigouya to theSr. Cugnet. Will' see that the profits go towards the payment of the debts that the St. Cugnet contracted in connection with the St. Maurice forges.- If the succour he has sent arrives without accident, the colony will find itself not only secure from attack but even in a state to take the offensive. Has learned nothing by way of England of the project of an attack on the side of fort St. Frédéric. The measures taken by M. de Beauharnois, there and elsewhere, to harass the enemy, may have broken up the latter's plans. With regard to the camp made by the Indians near Soulanges, it ought not to be difficult to discover the authors and to chastise them. Folio 7, 2 pages. The same to M. Hocquart.

There will be no trouble as to the inhabitants of Canada not accommodating themselves to the transfer of several fete-days to Sunday ; time will cause them to feel the utility of such an arrangement. Nothing has come to him of the complaints of which he speaks from the Ursulines of Louisiana against M, Le Normant, but if, as he thinks, these have reference to the arrangements made for the management of the hospital of New Orleans, these religieuses have no reason to complain. It becomes more and more urgent to make some arrangement to prevent the utter ruin of the hospital of the Charron Brothers. M. de Beauharnois has testified to him as to the zeal of the Sr. Piquet at his mission of the Lake of the Two Mountains. Has not thought it his duty to report to the King his proposition to establish the Sisters of the Congregation at Detroit, because far from His Majesty being willing to multiply establishments of this kind in the colony, his intention is, on the contrary, to reduce the number of those that have been created, when circumstances permit. For a long time the King has charged him to make him aware of his intentions in this respect, for the purpose of placing him in a position to take advantage of every opportunity to work for this reduction. It is not possible, in the circumstances, to give him any assistance for the restoration of the cathedral of Quebec. Will not forget the son of M. de Lotbinière. Folio 22, 2 pages. The same to M.

It does not appear that the English have made preparations for an attempt on Canada this year. They are engaged onlyj in raising troops for reinforcing the garrisons of their colonies, and the effort seems to limit them to the. defensive with their recruits. It may well be that the check the King has given the allies in the Low Countries will send these recruits or part of them to replace the losses in the regulaij troops. Should nevertheless neglect nothing for the defence of Canada. Folio 36J, 1 page. The same to MM. de la Galissonnière and Hocquart. The King has approved the action of MM. de Beauharnois and Hocquart in sending the schooner L'Aimable Marthe to inform him of the arrival at Quebec of the frigate L'Emeraude with most of the vessels bound for the colony.

It becomes all the more important to hasten the departure, that the English are preparing an armament which, probably, has for its object the conquest of Canada.

He has returned to London, where at first, they appeared to have decided nothing on the subject. The last news is that Warren is to have command of the squadron, the destination of which is concealed.

There has arrived in England, coming from Louisbourg, a packet-boat with the news that of the 4,000 men that were at Louisbourg there remain only 1,000, all the rest being dead. On the departure of this packet-boat, there were 400 or 500 corpses on the snow that they had not been able to inter up to that time. The armament under preparation in England is being pushed with vigour. The privateer La Marquise de Tourney, put in at Ile de Rhé, reports having seen an English squadron east and west of the Courreaux. This information can hardly be true; there is not a sufficient number of vessels on our coasts and still less together. It must be the fleet of the Compagnie des Indes. This should not prevent a departure, but the contrary. Folio 47, 1 page. The same to M. de Barrailt.

The President of the Navy Board to M. le Comte de Galissonnière. Did not wait for representations from him to allow him an indemnification for the expenses occasioned by his passage to Canada. The King has provided for them by a gratuity of 6,000 livres which has been paid to Mde. de la Galissonnière. M. D'Ormesson will propose to the King the entra nee of his two nieces at St. Cyr. Folio 1, $ page. The same to the same. It is not possible this year to provide the artillery he asks for Quebec and Montreal ; what the navy has lost by the taking of its vessels, and what are required for new vessels, do not allow it to be thought of at present. Besides, according to the last statements of MM. Beauharnois and Hocquart there was no question of more than 76 guns, and he asks for 103. Will take measures next year to get together a portion of what he asks. The Sr. de Ramezay has sent him a memorandum in which he deals with Port Royal and Acadia. The retention in Canada of the English children that the Indians have with them would be of no benefit, unless they remained permanently, for the moment they allowed them, sooner or later, to return to their own country the knowledge gained by them could only be injurious to us ; so it will be best not to keep them long. It is not to be doubted, on the other hand, that the only object of the Indians in adopting these children is to strengthen themselves and increase their numbers, but his proposal to buy them from the Indians to send them to the islands cannot be adopted, seeing they can have no part in it, and this expatriation would make a disadvantageous impression. Folio 1, 1$ pages. The same to MM. de la Galissonnière and Hocquart. Nothing can be added to what has been paid to the Sr. Boisseau for the land taken for a battery. It would be possible to give some encouragement to the Sr. De la Fontaine for the establisment of a whale fishery with nets, but he cannot be given an exclusive privilege. The Sr. Boucaut, Lieutenant-General of the Admiralty at Quebec, has no intention of retiring ; he has, on the contrary, since his arrival in France, asked for leave for two years. With regard to the position of Clerk of the Marshalsea, vacant by the death of the Sr. de LTsle, it has been given to the Sr. Lemalatie whom they had proposed. The Sr. Varin cannot claim a gratuity. Folio 2, 2 pages. The same to the same. The King has been graciously pleased to grant the request made by the Hospitalières of Quebec to admit into their Community the Dlles de Saque Epée, D'Amours, de Louvières and de Bellagard with a dowry each of 1,500 livres only, to be taken from the proceeds of *i 100 CANADIAN ARCHIVES , 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906, 1748. the leave-of-absence fund, but the King will not allow them to make further proposals of the nature in favour of no matter whom. It is to be hoped, for the purpose of reducing the number of religious communities, the Hospitalières and the Religieuses de l'Hôpital General could be amalgamated. The King is informed that the confinement to the hospital is not healthy for the religieuses and those who retire there. These religi- euses having asked permission to purchase a piece of land at St. Augustin and another, uncleared, near Quebec, the King has refused, seeing that they represented at the same time that their Community could not meet their indebtedness, and the King would not place them in the way of increasing their responsibilities. Folio 3, 2 pages. January 18. The same to M. de la Galissonnière. Relating to the companies of He Royale and the new levies that are to be embarked for Canada by the first vessels. Difficulties have arisen in England that prevented the return to France of the soldiers of the troops of Ile Royale. If M. Karrer can send some soldiers, their passage will be procured. On the conclusion of peace, the troops in Canada can be increased. Respecting gratuities to officers commanding trading posts. Gratuities of 100 livres to the Srs. Marin junr., and de Beaubassin, in consideration of their study of the Indian tongues. Folio 4, 2 pages. January 18. The same to M. Hocquart. It is with pleasure that he has learned of the good condition of the St. Maurice forges. The consumption of foundry work being assured in the colony, it cannot be doubted that they will yield a profit. Is very glad to learn that the forge hammer he has had put up is successful. It is important to train up good workmen as it is expensive to have them from France. The new discoveries of mines by the Sr. de Tonnancourt removes all anxiety as to the supply of iron ore. Folio 5, 1$ pages. January 28. The same to the same. Has not considered it fitting to confer the Cross of St. Louis on the Chevalier de Beauharnois. Such a favour would have a bad effect under the circumstances as regards the old officers of the colony not yet provided for. Has procured him a gratuity of 200 livres for his lodging. Folio 6, 2 pages. January 23. The same to M. de la Galissonnière. Will enquire whether it will suit to transfer the fort of Niagara beyond the river. The most important operation will be the destruction of Choueguen. He ought to have sufficient strength without stripping the colony to succeed in this undertaking. In any case, if the troops that are to be sent him in the spring arrive without accident, it will be all the easier. The point that seems to him the most difficult to attain is the consent of the Iroquois. It is for him to work in this direction in making use of the services of Father Piquet. Since the battery that was proposed at l'Anse aux Senelles does not appear to him useful there should be no further question of it. His proposal to send coureurs de bois to the Islands seems to be a punishment that will have the best effect. Folio 7, 2 pages. January 23. The same to M. Hocquart.

Exchange of prisoners in America. If the Irish Catholics taken as prisoners to Canada ask to remain there, sees no difficulty in their being allowed to do so : the manner in which the English treat their nation ought not to cause them to regret such a change. The same could be done with respect to the Scotch catholics. Folio 9, 2 pages. The same to M. Hocquart. The King would not have approved his retaining the Sr. Michel longer in Canada. He is to go to Louisiana, witn the rank of Commissary General. If the health of the Sr. Prévost does not allow him to properly fill the position of Controller of the Navy at Quebec, he must be replaced, and there is another person, quite competent to perform the duties of this important post.

It is true, as the gazettes of Boston have announced, that there has been a question in the English Parliament of reimbursing the English colonies for the advances made for the Ile Royale expedition. This reimbursement has not yet been granted. There is no longer any question in England of an expedition against Canada, and their gazettes state that the troops collected for the object referred to have been disbanded. The succour received in Canada from France in September last and the good countenance shown by the Canadians on all occasions may have caused it to be thought the undertaking would have no chance of success. There has been no question of Commodore Warren for the government of Louisbourg. This officer has even sent his family, which was in one of the north American colonies, to England. M. Knowles, for his part, was to proceed to Jamaica. Has received none but good reports of Father Piquet, and the good conduct of the Indians of his Mission sufficies to testify to his own. The good use to which he has put the assistance given him has decided the King to present him to a benefice in France. He might be of great utility near the Iroquois.

It is to be desired that the arrival of the convoys of merchandise at Detroit and at Michilimakinac will have restored trans- quillity. The Sauteux should be punished, as the most guilty. It is certain that the best means of placing Detroit in security from the incursions of the Indians would be to people the locality with agriculturalists.

Since the war, a large number of Indians of all the nations have joined them, forming a sort of republic, in which the Iroquois who are with them predominate, and the wants of which the English almost entirely supply.

His alliance with M. Bégon will not prevent his receiving his ideas with entire confidence. M. de Beaujeu, Lieutenant of the King at Three Rivers, is given his retirement. By the death.of MM.

His intention is not to interdict the trade in furs to those who are engaged in the discovery of the Western Sea, seeing it is only with the profits of this trade that they can work effectively to this end, but it is certain, at the same time, that the Sr. de la Vérandyrie has devoted himself a great deal too much to this trading, and that is apparent even from his Journal.

His observations on the expences of Canada are very just, if the interests of the colony alone are considered, but it is to be remarked that the colonies have no special budget. Their expences are taken from the Navy funds, and a gi eat deal is required from these funds to provide what is wanted for their own needs. It results that the administration is heavily indebted and has been unable to undertake all that is useful or even necessary for the success of the war. For these reasons, he must confine himself to the dispositions necessary for the protection of Canada from the enemy, unless he is able to send the expedition to Hudson Bay. Folio 38$, 1 page.

It would be of importance to the colony if salt-pits could be established on the Lower St. Lawrence. M.

It will not do to allow new woollen manufactures to be established except such as can do no injury to the market of those of France. The fort established at Ste Thérèse rapids to serve as an entrepôt for goods intended for Fort St. Frédéric may be necessary, but they should have disposed with the enceintes for the villages r>f the Sault St. Louis and the Lake of the Two Mountains, or at least waited for orders.

The manufacture of salt will facilitate that of salted meats. It is without having asked the King's orders that MM. de la Galissonnière and Bigot abandoned the fort at the St. Thérèse rapids to construct another one at the St. Jean rapids. M.

On the destination of the frigate La Diane, M. de la Jonquière, who commands her, should on his arrival in the colony, follow the orders that M. de la Galissonnière may give him, but it is not probable that there will be any occasion to employ this vessel in the colony, and, besides, it is important she should at the earliest possible moment convey M. Bigot to Ile Royale. Folio 22, 1 page. April 18. The same to M. de la Galissonnière. Should make arrangements to embark on Le Léopard, which is to take M. de la Jonquière to Quebec.

It is to be presumed that the Sr. Taschereau, clerk to the Treasurers General, will make no further advances to the officers and employes, since he will be held responsible for losses. On his representations, the King has issued regulations increasing the emoluments of the officers attached to the administration of justice of the colony. Folio 23, 2 pages. April 18. ■ The same to the same. On his representations, the King has granted an extraordinary gratuity of 300 livres to the Sr. Douville, commandant with the Miamis, to indemnity him for the losses he experienced by the pillage of his post.

As the Sr. Basile seems to have abandoned the working of his fishery in the Baie des Chateaux, they have done right to give the concession to the Sr. Gauthier, doctor. If the concession of the Baie des Esquimaux (discovered'by the Sr. Fornel) does not injure the rental of the Tadousac farm, they can grant it for twelve years to the widow of the Sr. Fornel, who has asked for it. The King has ratified the fishery grant they have made to the Srs. Bréard and Estèbe,- as well as that to the Srs. Decheneaux and Desmarets.

Concerning the Cugnet affair. It was to allow him to recover from the losses he made in working the St. Maurice forges that the King gave him the working of the posts of Temiscamingue, Michipicoton and Camanistigoya for the sum of 7,000 livres a year. The war having injured the trade of these posts, he can continue the lease to him for two or three years longer. He might also lease him the Tadousac post at the price of 6,000 livres and other conditions in the old lease, provided he accepts his proposition to pay 10,000 livres a year to the Treasurers-General towards the extinction of what he owes to the office of the Domain.

There is no ground for modifying what has been done. Folio 46, 2 pages. The same to the same. The King has strongly approved the precaution taken by M. de la Galissonnière of sending a detachment to the Petit Brador and another to Ile St. Jean, after the signature of the peace preliminaries to prepare the way for the inhabitants of Ile Royale who had gone to Canada and to prevent the havoc that the English would have been tempted to commit. It is to be desired that the attempt to attract the Acadians to Ile Royale will succeed. It cannot fail to do so, when they learn that the English government is determined to settle Acadia with its own people. The King has decided nothing yet on the subject of the mission that Abbé Piquet desires to establish near Fort Frontenac with the object of attracting the Iroquois of the Five Nations. Approves his having given him 300 livres to go to the Iroquois to negotiate on this basis. Relating to the amalgamation of the two hospitals of Quebec. The Sr. Roebert de la Morandière.

A large number of Iroquois who came down to Quebec last year, having declared that they desired to embrace Christianity, Abbé Piquet, who enjoys their confidence, has gone to confer with them on the establishment of a Mission in the direction of Fort Frontenac. It is of great importance that this negotiation should succeed, for, without placing entire confidence in the declarations of these Indians, it may nevertheless be hoped in this way to divide their councils. It would then become easy to convince them the best means to free themselves from the claims of the English to their lands would be to destroy Chouégouen, which has been established only to restrain them. Coureurs de bois. Folio 62, 1$ pages. The same to the same. The King has been satisfied with the successes obtained at Ile Royale by the detachment from Canada, but it is regrettable that on the conclusion of peace they did not receive the orders of M. de la Galissonnière in time to prevent the loss of the establishments of M. de la Boularderie or to save the firewood the English had cut. Nothing has been received by him on the part of the English respecting what passed between the Sr. Marin, jr., and the commandant at Louisbourg with regard to the coup effected by that officer against the garrison of that place. ' In any case, it will not be difficult to justify his conduct. Cannot take into consideration the representations of M. de la Galissonnière in favor of the Sr. de Varennes, who has been reduced from the rank of captain. Folio 63, 2 pages. The same to the same. It is to the Sr. de la Vérandyrie and his sons that the enterprise of discovering the Western Sea by land was confided since it has been in question. As they occupied themselves more in the collection of furs than in the object of their mission, the task was transferred three years ago to M. de Noyelles. As the latter asked to return, permission was given all the more willingly that he appeared to have devoted himself even less efficiently than his predecessors to the work of discovery. M. de la Galissonnière has entered in great detail into what has taken place relative to the Srs. de la Vérandyrie, and although what he has written does not altogether justify their conduct, the King has nevertheless approved this enterprise being confided to some one among them. 116 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1749.

Thencel he will proceed to Douay, then to the forges of Parcheminier, after whicll he will go to Canada next year. M. de la Galissonnière sent the Sr. del Gaspé, ensign, to France to be instructed in engineering. Although he il well disposed to the work he is too old to acquire the knowledge he needs! As he is a good subject, employment will be found for him when thel opportunity offers. Has procured for the Srs. Marin, jr., and de Beau-I bassin, ensigns, a new gratuity of 400 livres each, as a reward for theiil zeal and industry. Will enquire if the Sr. de Lotbinière, whom M. de 1J Galissonnière has recommended for the position of assistant-engineer, meritsl this appointment, and whether he did not participate in the abuses. If the] Sr. Volant has acquitted himself well in the command of the post he has! exercised for several years, he can be given a commission as captain in thel militia. Folio 65, 2 pages. The same to the same. The Chouanons, in consequence of the antipathy! most of the other nations show for them, are divided into two bands, oil which one is established at Sonontio, where it forms a sort of republic,! with a sufficiently large number of bad characters ; the other went to the Chérakis river, which they ascended, and they have joined thel Alibamons. M. de Vaudreuil says they behave well. It is not the same with the first-named band. It is much to be feared whether some whol have joined them may not draw them into bad ways. It would be well if they could be brought to establish themselves with their brothers among! the Alibamons or in some part of Canada. M. de la Galissonnière has done well to write to the Governor of New England that if he continues to make use of the Indians who have joined the Chouanons to make incursions against the French, he will retaliate on his colony. - Is glad to see that thel Indians of the upper country, who, at the instigation of the English, I assassinated several French, have determined to give up the murderers and| ask for mercy. The detachments that were sent and the firm conduct of j MM. de St. Pierre and de Longueuil at Michilimakinak and at Detroit,! greatly contributed to this result. It is nevertheless vexatious that thel prisoners whom M. de Longueuil detained, were able to escape. Officers| habitually meet the difficulties that present themselves with conciliation,! but it is certain that experience has always shown well-placed severity to| be more effective. The Iroquois are continual exasperated at the claims| of the English that their country forms part of the English possessions and! that they themselves are subjects of Great Britian. In a conference they! have held they decided to hold to their rights and maintain neutrality.! Since the blow that the Sr. de l'a Corne struck the Mohawks in 1747, these! Indians have attempted nothing new against the French. Their brothers! having sued for pardon have been granted it. The King relies on yourl wisdom in all concerning these Indians. Folio 66, 4 pages.

Folio 69, 2 pages. The same to the same. Desires them to examine M. de la Galissonnière's plan respecting the Indian slaves. He represents that the Indian slaves brought up in the colony by officers or by inhabitants, generally leave them when they reach a certain age, and again become uncivilized ; that they are the more dangerous on account of the knowledge which they have acquired of the country, being better able than others to make incursions therein: that through this habit of keeping these slaves, the» whites are dissuaded from becoming domestics ; that it would be expedient to make regulations forbidding keeping such slaves of more than 16 or 17 years of age, and the freeing any such slaves ; that in this way, Indian children could be bought cheaply, and after being instructed in their religion, and taught to serve or learned some trade, they could be sold in the West Indies. M. de la Galissonnière had already written on the subject in 1747. He was told that there were many objections to his plan. What must be specially considered, is the effect which the change of climate would produce on the Indians of the colony. Folio 70, 1$ pages. The same to the same.

M. de la Galissonnière has reported of the upper country, that it would be more advantageous to lease only the posts of Thémiskamingue, Népigon, Caministigoya, Michipicoton, and that of Pointe de Chagouamigon ; all the other posts should be managed by officers on leave. As regards the latter posts, he claims that the exhorbitant figures at which they are leased, obliges the lessees to sell their goods at such high prices, that the Indians are not attracted there j that they are disgusted with this situation, and it is feared the solution of the difficulty is, that the Indians will go and trade with the English. The only way to settle this question is to place officers on leave in all the nearer posts. These suggestions have been found good and have been adopted. The remote posts shall not be given to officers. They shall have gratuities proportionate to their ranks as commanders of these posts. Folio 72, 2 pages. The same to the Bishop.

M. de la Jonquière's proposal to employ a company of soldiers at the works at St. Maurice Forges has not been approved. What might be done, would be to place at Trois- Rivières a somewhat larger body of troops than is required for garrisoning , that town, and to allow to a certain number of soldiers to go and work thereunder the supervision of a corporal, and be paid for it.

The establishment of a trading post at Toronto is important, for, if it be well conducted, it will materially diminish the trade of the English at Choueguen.

Has reasons to believe that the English government has recommended the governors of the colonies to do nothing contrary to our rights, as we have done towards them, but the restless and enterprising character of M. Cornwallis which has manifested itself on every occasion, especially in the events of the beginning of May, leads us to fear that he will make new efforts, to force the post on the River St. Jean and that of Pécaudy. Desires him to aid these posts as much as he can. Will make representations to Governor Cornwallis to the effect that things should remain in the present state while the Commission on the Boundaries sits. He will * will not attack any posts in the peninsula, but will defend obstinately' everything which France claims and occupies outside. If on the receipt of this despatch, the English have captured one of these posts, he may drive them out, or retaliate by capturing some of their posts, even that of Choue'gen. Hopes he will not be obliged to do this and that M. Cornwallis will have reflected on the consequences of his obstinacy. Folio 69, 2 pages. September 11. The same to the same. The first observation which he has to make with respect to M. Cornwallis's actions, is to keep the Indians as well affeeted as they now are, the second is that, if the English summoned the French detachments to retire from Rivière St. Jean and Pécaudy, under the pretext that their presence violates that clause of the treaty of peace which says that all things should be put in the state they were, or in which they ought have been, before the war, they will answer that it is 18- -26$* 138 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-i6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 1750. precisely because M. Cornwallis has himself contravened this very clause, by trying to force the French at these posts to swear alligance to England, that M. de la Galissonnière and himself have been obliged to send these detachments to these Frenchmen who had appealed to him for aid to shield them from the English general's threats. Will add that another motive for sending these detachments that M. Cornwallis had formed the project of forming the settlements in these townships and that his action is so much the more regular as he only prevents their forming settlements, without forming any himself.

Was pleased to learn of the progress of arrangements for the re-establishment of the fisheries. Desires him to inspect, in company with M. Desherbiers, the sites in Ile Royale and Ile St. Jean, best adapted for settlements, and it would be well that the localities found to be the most appropriate, should be marked out by land surveyors. If none can be procured in Canada, some will be sent from France. Folio 18, 3$ pages. The same to MM. Desherbiers and Prévost. The tainted flour is granted to during may M. the be used for biscuits.

That of the Sr. Kinselagh cannot be entertained, as he is a foreigner, and his working the mines might lead to abuses, on the other hand the proposals of the Srs.

Will endeavor to have them modified in the way indicated, and, if they cannot do it, will ask for other tenders. Folio 23, 4 pages. May 31. The same to M. Desherbiers. It is a fact that, if the English succeed in forming a settlement at Chibouctou, as planned, this will force us to take new measures to provide, in case of war, for the protection of Louisbourg and Ile St. Jean. The King is decided not to neglect anything. M. Franquet is going to inspect them. The best protection for the colony would be the increase of its inhabitants. It is thought that, owing to the situation in which they are placed the Acadians might be attracted to Ile St. Jean. The King is satisfied with the measures taken to foil the plans of the English in their new settlement. If the disposition of the Indians remains ^unchanged, we may expect that they will end by disgusting the new settlers and that many will follow the example of those who have already gone to Ile St. Jean and to Canada. Folio 25, 1$ pages. May 31. The same to the same. Will help M. de la Jonquière in his endeavors to prevent the English from making encroachments in the neighborhood of Acadia. The King also intends to maintain his just rights on I'Le au Canceaux while the boundary question is pending, without, however, making any settlement thereon. If the Engusb attempt to make any, he will call on their commandant to suspend it until the decision on the boundary is known, and, at the same time, will stir up the Indians to molest them and interrupt works in course of construction. Shall entertain for the English commandant all the consideration and regard compatible with the honour of the nation. M. de la Jonquière seems to be desirous to relieve the detachment which he sent to Rivière St. Jean, by troops from Ile Royale.

Cornwallis, which makes us fear that he will renew his attempts to gain the posts on River St. Jean and that of Pécaudy. It is for this reason that the King sends a vessel from Bayonne with a despatch for M. de la Jonquière. What he must do if the English attack any posts which are outside the peninsula of Acadia. In case of need he will meet force with force. Folio 49, 2 pages. End of Vol. 91. 144 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 6-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 MINUTES OF LETTERS. 1750. ROCHEFORT AND OTHER PLACES. COLONIES.

AMERICA. Series B. Vol. 98. CANADA. ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES (4th part). The President of the Navy Board to M. de la Jonquière. Cannot answer all his letters of last year in detail. Forwards this by way of Ile Royale, to acquaint him with what is being done on the subject of the difficulties with the English. The King wishes to uphold his rights, but at the same time, wants to avoid war. The King of England has given assurances that he had sent orders to his governors to treat him with consideration, but it does not appear that they obeyed them, judging by their actions in connection with the Indians of the upper country, the conduct of Cornwallis, and the adventure of the brigantine commanded by de Vergor. Hopes that more stringent orders will be given. Will do his best to defend the posts established on the north of the Baie Française. According to advices received, M. de Cornwallis seems to have some project concerning them during the winter. Shall do his utmost to defend them or to retake them, even by advancing his fortifications. Hopes that he will not be obliged to do so. The work of the Commissioners at Paris is not as advanced as it should be, and one must not flatter himself that it will soon end. Will neglect nothing to come to a definite understanding. Folio 1, 2 pages. The same to MM. de la Jonquière and Bigot. They shall help the Sr. Troppez Martin, merchant at Quebec, in whom the Comtesse de Castellàne is interested, whenever the occasion offers. Folio 1$, $ page. The same to the same. The King has renewed the fishery privilege of the Srs. Pascaud, at the Magdalen island, for a term of. 9 years. Folio 2, $ PaSe- . ... -, Patent granting an exclusive privilege to the Srs. Pascaud to .fish and to kill walrusses and seals at the Magdalen Islands. Folio 2, 1 page. The President of the Navy Board to M. de la Jonquière. The English commissioners claimed that the boundaries of Acadia must comprehend, not only the peninsula, but all the territory from New England, that is, from the River Kindbéki as far as the St. Lawrence, all the right side on the latter river going down from opposite Quebec to Gaspé, all the lands bordering on the Gulf from Gaspé to Canceau, &c, &c. Our Commissioners have proven that, not only has Acadia no such immense extent, but that its boundaries must be fixed at Canceau, on one side, this place remaining to France, and the other, at Cap de Sable, or at Cap Fourchu, that this is all that was ceded to the English by article 12 of the treaty of Utrecht, under the title of the ancient boundaries of Acadia, and that in adding the territory of Port Royal, which was also ceded by the same article, England is entitled to only half of the peninsula, commonly called Acadia. The con- . tentions should, strictly speaking be confined to that part which we claim. Neither shall» erect any fortifications, or occupy any in the peninsula, but shall defend by every means all the country to the north. 27* 152 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1751. April 11. April 20. May 7.

It is claimed that the business of the posts is in the hands of a private company composed of very few persons, among whom are the officers of the posts, so that there remains very little for the merchants of the colony and for those of France. It is added that, apart from the indecency of the means employed, there result very; grievous abuses in the colony trade, and the conduct of the Indians. There may be some .exaggeration, but the complaints are too general not to contain some justification. Shall redouble his exertions to remedy the evil. Folio 5, 1 page. The same to M. Bigot. Same subject. It is said that the company that was formed, in which there are no merchants, monopolizes the flour, that it is from that company that all for the King's stores is bought, and prices much above the market. Prays he will report on the matter. The good opinion which he entertains of him, his zeal, and the purity of his intentions, leads him to notify him that he must neglect nothing to nothing to stop these practices, Folio 5$, 1 page. The same to MM.de la Jonquière and Bigot. Owing to abuses which: were committed, he has given orders to the effect that, the freight allowed, to the governor and the intendant on the King's ships, be limited, in future j to 15 tons for the one and 12 for t'. e other. Folio 6, A page. The same to the same. It would have been desirable that the families] who were sent to Detroit in 1748 and 1749, could have stored sufficient wheat to provide for the needs of those who are to go there this spring He would do well to send disbanded soldiers there, or other Frenchmen, rather than Canadians, as the latter are more inclined toward trade than toward agriculture. If they had too many Acadian families, they might be preferred for this settlement. Is sorry that the regulation made by M. de la Galissonnière, to oblige the inhabitants of certain exposed regions, to, settle in villages, has not been carried out. No wonder that these( people, as well as Canadian officers, have represented that they long only for independence, even at the sacrifice of their own security. This regulation must be enforced at Detroit, on Lake Chani-I plain, and in all other places exposed to attacks from Indians. Folio 6, 2 pages. The same to the same.

At all events they will have to put off the sale of the proper until further orders, as they have not sufficient authority, without the Kind written permit. As.to the nuns of the Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec, their allege inability to provide for a new ward, is only founded on the distinctij they pretend to make between their funds and those of the poor.

He throws the blame on M. de Céloron, commander at Detroit.. 164 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1752., May 15. May 15. May 15. Versailles May 15. May 15. Marly. May 12. 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 We are not opposed to our Indians trading with the English, but we are opposed to the English trading on our lands. The Ohio river and the rivers which flow into it are unquestionably ours. It is only a few vears ago that the English wish to exclude us from them. Their contention is that those lands belong to the Iroquois and that having the sovereignty over those Indians, they can exercise their rights. It is certain that the Iroquois have no rights on those lands ; besides that the sovereignty of the English over the Iroquois is only chimerical. If they should succeed, our communications between Louisiana and Canada would be interrupted. The King intends to have complaints made to the Court of England. The progress before the Commission will be slow, for it is difficult to obtain proofs of the gravest facts, and orders given on matters of this kind can be very easily overlooked. Will be instructed of all that has been done by M. de la Jonquière. Will avoid as far as possible a war with the Indians which would be excessively costly and perhaps devoid of any real advantages. Will confine his efforts to the expulsion of the English who go there to trade and to convince the rebel or suspected Indians of those countries that they can go and do business with.the English in all freedom. It is certain that if our posts are well provided with merchandise the Indians will not go and trade in the English cities or forts, as they do not wish to do so. Folio 7, 4 pages.

Bigot. There never has been any mention of the Sr. Varin for the place of commissary of Louisiana. Has solicited the place of intendant commissary, but has not granted it to him for several reasons. M. Varin may come to France if he has any business,, but if it is to solicit his promotion, he had better spare himself the fatigue and expense "of that voyage. He doubts not of the competency of the Sr. Bréard, whom he strongly recommends, but he cannot grant him the commission of commissary on account of the numerous complaints made against him as to his cupidity. He has the reputation in France and the colonies of mixing in all kinds of trades, both interior and exterior. It is said that he is interested in several supplies on the King's account, that he is having ships built in the shipyards of the King, &c, &c. All has been alleged with such detail that it is hardly possible to doubt its veracity. Folio 10, 2 pages. The sam'e to MM. de la Jonquière et Bigot. Has sent them a letter written to M.

Folio 14$, J page. Memorandum of the King to serve as instructions to the Marquis Duquesne. For a long time Canada has made little progress, because the first- inhabitants are engaged in the fur trade, attracted by the independence they enjoy in their runs. The success obtained in culture a few years since has given an impetus to agriculture and colonization. Before the war the trade with the Islands has been much extended and had stimulated shipbuilding. The King intends to favour the development of agriculture, fishing and commerce. It is advisable to establish permanent cures. Arrangements for the collection of tithes, Religious Communities schools, troops, militia, fortifications. Government of the Indians. Of all the Indians of the posts of the further inland the Hurons of Detroit are the only ones who have embraced Christianity, and their mission is served by the Jesuits. In the last war between the English and French, the Iroquois remained neutral, excepting the Mohawks who are the least numerous. Having suffered great losses, they have since sued for a reconciliation. In the last war the post of Choueguen was to be attacked, but as the Iroquois professed to be opposed to this, and and as they opposed any attack of the English against our post of Niagara, the project was abandoned. Encroachments of the English on the Belle Rivière. Abenakis, Micmacs, &c, &c. Folio 15, 12 pages. The same to M. Bigot. On the finances of the colony. Folio 21, 2 pages. The same to MM.

Believes that it would be ^preferable that they be victualed directly by the Intendant Commissary of Ile Royale, so as to have better control of the expenditure. Folio 24, 1$ pages. The same to M. Duquesne. On account of his age, M. de St. Ours has permission to retire from the service as Lieutenant of Trois Rivières. Grants him an annual allowance of 2,000 livres, in lieu of his salary.

The law suit between the Chapter and the Seminary of Quebec has been sent before commissioners appointed to examine the respective claims of the parties interested. The King js disposed to grant him an increase of revenue. Has spoken of it to the former Bishop de Mirepoix. Relating to the arrangements between the Dame d'Youville, concerning the Montreal General Hospital. Uay come to France if he believes the voyage absolutely necessary. Folio 27$ 1 page. The same to M.

It is alleged that the commanders of the posts have interests in the farms of those posts and that serious inconvenience results therefrom. Will examine if it would not be better to make the trade free and to impose certain conditions on "those who wish to become traders. Folio 30, 2 pages. The same to the same. Will not permit the Délies. Desaulniers to reopen their store at Sault St. Louis. Will examine the complaints made against the missionary who succeeded Father Tournois at that mission. The Iroquois claim title to the lands occupied by the mission, as do the Jesuits. Will examine the deeds of grant. Folio 31, 2 pages. The same to M." Duquesne; On the principles by which he is to be guided in the government of the Indian nations. Folio 32, 3$ pages. The same to the same. New posts will be established in cases of abolute necessity only. For the most part those who suggest those establishments have their particular interest only in view. Such seems to be the case of the post of Lac à la Carpe. Has approved the construction of a fort at Sault Ste-Marie and the project of tilling the land and raising cattle, but it will have to be confined to the cultivation of Indian corn, as wheat will not thrive well enough ; besides, the country in the vicinity of Detroit will be able to supply the wants of that post. Has approved of the settlements of Toronto and Niagara ; this last one must be made above the portage for many reason§. Post of Gaspé. If it is decided to establish that of Pascadamo- cady, it will perhaps be expedient to leave a garrison at the head of the river St. Jean. In the establishment of any new post, care must be taken to group a few farmers around it to supply the needs of the garrison. Folio 34, 3 pages. The same to MM. Duquesne et Bigot. It is true that the Fort de la Présentation has not cost much, but it must also be said that it is not of much consequence. It is said that it has not been placed on the most advantageous site. The efforts made by Father Piquet for the establishment of that post leads him to hope that it will secure the desired advantages. Has ratified the grant of land in the vicinity of the saw-mill built by the Father Piquet. The post of Detroit is much more important, and nothing must be neglected in order to increase the population, to group it around the fort and to stimulate agriculture. According to the census, the population, last year, numbered 150 men from 15 to 60 years old, without including 20 inhabitants to the south of the river and 25 dismissed soldiers settled on lands. Hopes that it has been possible, in spite of the famine, to send girls to marry to those who are of age. Folio 36,"2 pages. ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 167 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 ; 1752.

Has appointed the Sr. Foucault Premier Conseiller, to succeed the Sr. Cugnet, deceased, and the Sr. Bedon councillor. They will seek another person for the remaining vacancy. The councillors of the Superior Council of Quebec are the only ones who have a salary and, like the others, they have no fees. Notwithstanding the involved state of the finances, the first three councillors will receive 600 livres instead of 450, and the others 450 instead of 300. July 3. The same to the same. Believes that the estimate amounting to 13,351 livres for the maintenance of the barracks, levied on the inhabitants of the town of Quebec, is not sufficient. They must' make up their minds to a poll tax throughout the colony. Folio 39, 2 pages. July 3. The same to the same. They will send this year a plan of Quebec and of the lands to be granted, with fresh explanations on the arrangements to be made. Reasons for delay in the ratification of divers deeds of grant forwarded. Has not felt bound to ratify the grant to the Cochu heirs of a township at the Baie des Chaleurs. He remembers that the lands in that section are very good a certain distance up the rivers. That is where it would be most expedient to locate grants, taking care to locate them so as to form villages. The best means of securing their defence is by uniting their strength as well as by the distance from the sea ; at the same rime, this will prevent the inhabitants from devoting themselves exclusively to fishing. They will send a list of all the grants made in 15 years. Folio 40, 2 pages. [July 3. The same to M. de Rigaud.

Approves his having granted a passage on the King's ship to Madame Varin and to the officers comprised in the list.

The King had permitted him to return to France as soon as he had been informed of the poor state of his health. The King wishes to avoid war with the Indians, while being firmly determined to expel foreigners who come to Belie Rivière for the trade. They alone are to blame. Will give his assistance to M. Duquesne in the execution of such measures as he thinks proper to enforce in this matter. Has not approved of his recalling the militiamen of his district from the frontiers of Acadia. Folio 47, 1$ pages. The same to MM. Duquesne and Bigot. Instead of attempting, as MM. de la Jonquière and de Longueuil have done, to subdue the revolted Indians of Belle Rivière, M. Duquesne will first apply himself to expelling foreign traders and, if they are compelled to make war on those Indians, they will, as much as possible, employ Frenchmen only, for it is well to make them feel that we can dispense with their help. They must always have an ample supply of canoes, so as not delay the execution of any project determined on. The scheme proposed by the Abbé Piquet for making war no the Dog nation seems chimerical. Folio 48, 2 pages. The same to M. Duquesne. Unsatisfactory accounts received from the the Baron de Longueuil concerning certain Indian nations of the upper country. MM. de la Jonquière and de Longueuil's project to make war on the rebel Indians was unwise. They had only to expel all foreign traders from Belle Rivière. On his arrival at Quebec stop the expedition which the Chevalier de Longueuil was to undertake. Deprived of supplies and ammunition by the departure of the foreign traders, the rebels will make submission, or they can then be fought with much greater advantage. There is no dearth of people in the colonies who, by affiliation with the Iroquois, favour the 'system adopted by MM. de la Jonquière et Longueuil. It is better, however, to risk being embroiled with the Iroquois than with the other nations who hate them. Folio 49, 2 pages. The same to M. Bigot. Is pained at the death of M. de la Jonquière. M.

The presence of 4 ships, under the command of M. de Lizardais, must overawe the English, and there is reason to believe that our navigation has not been interrupted. Folio 44, 2 pages. The same to the same. The project of which he has been advised, formed by the English of Acadia against the French post of Beauséjour would be so contrary to the peace, to the special agreements in virtue of which the commissioners at Paris are examining the respective claims, to the dispositions of which the King is daily giving assurances and proofs, that it is impossible to give it credence. There is reason to believe that M. de Cornwallis had to go the frontier before his departure, and that is what has probably led to the belief of an attempt against Beauséjour. Has not disapproved, however, of the measures taken to permit M. Vassan to put this post in a state of defence. Cannot doubt the desire constantly manifested by the King of England for peace Will avoid showing any «distrust towards the English and will maintain friendly relations with them.

Has no doubt expected that the English would not fail to mention in their newspapers the peace they had concluded with the Indians of Acadia.

Was not surprised to learn the events which fpllowed ; much less so at the excitement caused throughout the Micmacks by the massacre of 2 families of that nation by the English. At the most the English alone will be to blame for the consequences of this adventure. Will recommend the officers who are near those Indians and to the missionaries to avoid doing anything that" would compromise them in that respect. The King desires that no just cause of complaint be given to the English. Is aware of the views of the English on the capture of Louisbourg, as expressed in the printed paper, an extract of which has been sent to him.

For all that, if the orders which the King of England says he has given, are carried out, everything will pass quietly between the 2 nations, pending the settlement of the boundaries. We work as much as possible for the consummation of that settlement. The questions relating thereto are sufficiently elucidated. It suffices to adopt them ; but that matter is all the more difficult because the inquiry was not favourable to the pretensions of the English. However we must hope that an understanding will be reached. Folio 22, 1$ pages. The same to the same.

Observations regarding expenses and the necessity to curtail them. Is very pleased with his punctuality. Could not say so much on the matter of expense since his administration.

ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES' 205 SESSIONAL PAPER No 1755. 18 package which the captain of the ship Pierre Alexandre declared he threw into the sea on his meeting with an English frigate that searched his ship on August 17, abreast of L'Isle-Dieu. Had already learned through English sources of the capture by the English of the posts of Beauséjour and Gasperaux, i he advance of the English against the fort of river St. Jean, and those of St. Frédéric, Niagara and Belle Rivière. Has done well in deciding to send M. Dieskau to St. Frédéric to preserve this post or recover it. It is with sorrow that the King sees himself obliged, by these hostilities, to take measures opposed to his love of peace. The English do not conceal their intention of seizing all ships carrying provisions or ammunition. The news from England, concerning General Braddock's defeat, increases the King's confidence. According to private information and to what the English themselves have published, the forts of Beauséjour and Gasperaux have been very badly defended. An inquest will have to be made into the conduct of the officers who were commanding there, Folio 20, 2 pages. The same to M. Duquesne (in cipher). The operations of last year, in the direction of Belle Rivière, have made much noise in Europe, and the Sr. Villier's expedition has given rise to particular ferment in England, so that the British Court has decided to send 2 regiments of regular troops, to Virginia- with officers and arms to levy 2 others. This reinforcement sailed on the 13 th of last month from the ports of Ireland. The Court of England has however given the most positive assurances that they desire the maintenance of peace, and that in sending troops to Virginia their only object is to quiet the fears of that colony and its neighbours on account of attempts with which they think they are threatened. The King is, in fact, persuad d that His Britannic Majesty has no intention of effecting a rupture, and he does not lose all hope that those operations may lead to some conciliation ; but he is prepared, at the same time, to take all possible measures not to be taken unawares. For that object it has been decided to send to Canada a troop of 3,000 men, commanded by a major-general who will be under the Governor General's orders. These troops will be convoyed by a squadron. Hopes he will sail from Brest about the beginning of April. Has equipped La Diane et La Fidèle to precede him. This letter will be carried by La Diane, commanded by M. Froger de l'Equille, who will immediatly set sail from Rochefort. La Fidèle, commanded by M. de la Jonquière, lieutenant, and on which M. Bigot is to return to the colony, will set sail from the 15th to the 20tb of next month. M. de Vaudreuil will sail later on with the commander of the squadron. The troops which the English have sent to Virginia will reach port in time to operate before the arrival of our troops at Quebec. It must be expected that those troops will start operations, for such are the pretensions of the English that they will serve as a pretext to consider their attacks as defensive measures. Believes, however, that they will be confined to Belle Rivière. Must not be the aggressor. Divers observations on the measures to be adopted. Folio 21, 5 pages. Say 8 pp. The same to M. Varin. Pending M. Bigot's arrival in Quebec, he will make active arrangements for the arrival of the coming troops. Folio 23, 3 pages. The same to M. Duquesne. Since his last letter, the King has decided to send direct to Louisbourg, two of the six battalions, which were intended for Canada. This change is to be known to no one in Brest when the fleet leaves ; it will be only when sealed orders are opened at the Grand Bank, that M. Dubois de Lamothe will pick out the vessels Le Défenseur, Le Dauphin Royal, L'Espérance and L'Aquilon, to carry the two battalions and their provisions to Louisbourg under the escort of a cruiser and a frigate.

Dubois de Lamothe after the landing of the troops, but he hopes he will not abuse this liberty so that he may have time to give M. de Vaudreuil all necessary explanations . It is for this reason that M. Hocquart, who is in command of L'Alcide has orders to wait for him. Folio 30, 1 page. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Is "sending him two special orders from the King, one as to the service of the troops on land, and the other concerning the disturbances in the colony for some time past and as to the pretexts of the English who have caused them. The small success, so far, of the negotiations begun with the English, on their most excessive and unjust pretensions, and the great preparations they are always making, no longer permit the thought that their aims are so peaceful as the British Court had, at first, pretended. If their intention is not to come to an open rupture, it is at least to be expected they will neglect nothing in order to maintain their proposed usurpations in Canada. The King explains his intentions. Folio 31, 2 pages. Instructions to M. de Vaudreuil concerning the land forces. The Baron Dieskau will have under him the Chev. de Rostaing, employed as a colonel of infantry and the Chev. de Montreuil as assistant major general.

Is expecting M. de Salvert with great impatience and is surprised that he has not yet returned from Louisbourg. There is a rumor in England, since the taking of Beauséjour, that the English have also taken the fort on the river St. John and that on Pointe à la Chevelure. The defeat of General Braddock is generally admitted in England. Louisbourg requires the greatest attention. Folio 13, 2 pages. The same to the same. The frigate La Comète commanded by M. de Ruis, has arrived at Brest. It is true that M. de Salvert's prolonged stay at Louisbourg has greatly assisted the putting this place in a state of defence, but it prevented his leaving any large amount of provisions. The arrival of L'Outarde at Louisbourg gave him much satisfaction. Has given orders to despatch from Brest La Mutine and La Fauvette with supplies. Folio 14, 1 page. The same to M. Prévost.

It is true that M. de Bourville, in command of L'Espérance, was then on the point of leaving Louisbourg, but they must not neglect to give copies in triplicate of their letters to all the ships sailing. It is the way he does himself when any ship sails. The English capture every French ship they meet and they seem to place no limit on their ambition.

The President of the Navy Board to M. de Vaudreuil de Cavagnal. As there is, so far, no declaration of war it is probable that the English will make new efforts this year to have better success than they had last in their designs on Canada. Does not know yet if they are going to send regular troops to their colonies. It appears that they will be satisfied with merely sending moneys to levy troops and for munitions of war. It is claimed also, that they are making preparations at Boston and Halifax, for a campaign against Quebec. Possibly the campaign against Quebec may not be serious, and it may be solely for the purpose of keeping our troops far from the frontier. It may be also that they wish to capture the Baie de Gaspé and thence annoy our ships. If they reach Quebec it will be without their big ships and their landing will be-made afrthe Cap Tourmente. Folio 1, 1$ pages. (Cipher message). The same to MM. de Vaudreuil and Bigot. Will reply at length a little later, to all their letters forwarded by the fleet of the Comte Dubois de La Motte and La Fidèle and La Sirène. Is taking advantage of the sailing of some ships for Louisbourg to inform them of the arrangements made concerning the increase in the troops. Has obtained two battalions, and hopes they will sail from Brest at the end of March or the beginning of April. The present companies will be brought up to 65 men, by recruiting. Provisions. Folio 1$, 1 page. ' The same to M. de Vaudreuil. The various reports concerning the defence of the forts Beauséjour and Gaspéreaux, made to the King, tend to show that it was not what it should have been. The English themselves do not hide the facility with which they captured them. The facts must be investigated and those who deserve it punished, a severe example being indispensable. Not only must an investigation be made, but also the two officers who commanded the forts and the garrisons will be tried by a formal court-martial. Before making any outcry, he will take precautions necessary to discover and establish the facts. Pending that he will keep everything secret. Will ask M. de Drucourt beforehand to send to Quebec the officers required to compose the court. M. de Drucourt has been advised. Will compose the court-martial from the officers of the staff of the colony together with a few from the land forces. Folio 2, 1$ pages. The King to M. de Vaudreuil. Same subject. Folio 2$, $ page. The President of the Navy Board to MM. de Vaudreuil and Bigot. Matters with the English continue in the same condition although war ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 221 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1756. has not been declared. Preparations are being continued on both sides . especially for North America. Hopes that the re-inforcements he has prepared will start at the time appointed. Folio 3, $ page. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Since the receipt of his letter of the 17th January, he has learned that the English will not satisfy themselves by sending money to make new levies of troops but they will send three regiments of regular troops in command of Lord Loudon, who will succeed General Braddock. Thinks that these regiments will number 600 to 700 men each and that they will sail next month. Although the King has great confidence in him and in the officers in Canada, it has nevertheless been deemed necessary to replace MM. de Dieskau and de Rostaing in command of the troops by the Marqu;s de Montcalm and the Chev. de Levis, and the Chev. de Bourlamarque is added as third in command. Informs him that M. de Montcalm will have only the same powers as M.de Dieskau, on which the King will express himself very clearly. M. de Montcalm and the two other officers are known to be of such character thnt they will be glad at the way in which they will be treated by them. Folio 3, 1 page. The same to M. Bigot. Has decided to send Sr. d=> Villiers for service in Canada. Will employ him in the capacity of chief clerk. Independently of his general knowledge obtained at the Colonial office in 10 years service, he has acquired special knowledge of the administration of Canada at the Bureau des Comptes.

The Sr. de Cologn°, has been appointed a cadet à l'aiguillette in the troops in Canada. Folio 4$, 4 page. The same to the same. The ships and frigates intended for the transport of the two battalions of land troops to Canada, are Le Héros and La Sirène, commanded by MM. de Beaussier de L'Isle and de la Rigaudière's L'Ulustre and La Sauvage, commanded by M. de Montalais and Chev. de Tourville ; Le Léopard and La Licorne commanded by MM. Gomain and Brengnon. They will sail in couples in the above order. Will dispatch the Sr. de Tourville to bring back the reports concerning the landing. Le Léopard will be disarmed in Quebec and after broken up. The frigate L'Abénakise, built in Quebec, can be armed at once and the command of it can be given to M. Gomain. M. Beaussier will have under his orders, after the sailing of M. de Tourville, the ship L'Illustre and the three frigates La Sirène and L'Abénakise. M. de Vaudreuil will keep one of the frigates late in the season, in order to send his report of what has been going on up to that time. M. de Beaussier will keep all the provisions he can for his new destination after leaving Quebec. Folio 5, 2 pages. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Reasons why he reinforces the companies instead of increasing their number. How the infantry and the .naval forces will be distributed. Folio 6, 2 pages. The same to the Marquis de Montcalm. Is already aware of the intentions of the King regarding his duties in connection with the command entrusted to him. It has two objects : one, the police, discipline and the- daily routine of the infantry ; the other the operations in which they can be employed. Has received from M. d'Argenson his orders for the first, and hands him the King's orders for the second. Although subordinate in all things to M. de Vaudreuil, he will not lack opportunity showing his zeal, talents and experience. Will find M. de Vaudreuil well disposed towards him.

When a cam-! paign is in progress, the Governor General will direct its operations on his I own authority without any council of war or any other previous commuai-1 cation, but, even if he calls a Council of war it will be because he wishes I to consult it on more particular points rather than decide them himself-I in every case he will obey the orders and instructions which the Governor] General will give him, either to move the troops or himself to command some expedition. He will not deviate from what he has been told, unless! the Governor permits, or, in unexpected and urgent cases, by making an immediate report of tho changes required and of .the motives which decided! him. The Governor will, even send new orders during the progress of the] expedition and, if he wishes, he can proceed himself to the spot to take the] chief command and finish the expedition or undertake others.

On his report concerning the two English hostages given to Sr. De Villiers, as surety for the capitulation he had granted Major Washington, and which has been entirely violated by the Governor of Virginia, the King has decided that it was not sufficient to keep them in prison to prevent them from abusing the liberty which has been so wrongly granted them. They must be tried before a court- martial for what they have done. Nevertheless will delay the carrying out of the sentence until further orders. Folio 16$, $ page. The same to M. Bigot concerning the supplies. It is expedient to stop abuses which have arisen immediately. Is willing to let him make a bargain with the Sr. Cadet, for all supplies, as soon as he is able and has the necessary means to carry out his bargain. The bargain must be made in such a way as the Sr. Cadet cannot abuse it to the detriment of the King and the public. Will discuss that point with M. de Vaudreuil, and, perhaps it might be well to tell the Bishop of the proposed arrangement. Folio 17, 3 pages. The same to M. de Vaudreuil.

Wishes to explain the reasons which have prevented the King from appointing his brother as Governor of Montreal. The King fully acknowledges the zeal and high sense of honour and honesty of his brother, M. de Rigaud. He knows he has conducted himself with valour during the last war, but are these advantages enough to enable the King to entrust him with the government of Montreal if that position became suddenly vacant ? He does not think so. To fitly fulfil the duties of this position, a certain amount of knowledge and ability is required, which nature does not give to everybody, and which the utmost willingness can not procure. The King has thought it better to appoint, as Governor of Montreal, an officer who could succeed him if occasion arose. Knows too well, the importance of the duties of Governor General and all the qualities required, not to feel the necessity for this arrangement, and at the same time, is too good a servant not to concur in it.

It is in view of this that the King sent a body of troops in command of the Maréchal de Richelieu, tc capture Minorque.

Bigot on the expenses, fixed and ordinary, do not entirely cover the information that M. de Machault has asked for under these headings.. As these expenses are much heavier than formerly, it seems certain<that most of the increases have grown insensibly in taking as ordinary expenses those allowed for extraordinary purposes only. Should make the detailed examination that M. de Machault prescribed, and which he has not done. It is on him, above all, that the reduction in the expenses, variable and extraordinary, which have been enormous, depends. The heaviest source of these expenses is the movements and operations in connection with the war. Will judge of the ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 237 SESSIONAL PAPER No 1757.

The King has seen with regret the details of his letter of the 23rd of October, concerning the land troops that are in Canada. The King's opinion is that these troops find themselves sufficiently well off in the colony to remain there without repugnance. Should divide the risks and fatigues between all the corps, so that each one of them will have no occasion to complain. What is also material, and 238 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1757. May May 27. June Compiègne. July 27. •5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 it is this that the King has seen, with regret, is, that the land troops do not live on good terms with the Canadians, the Indians and the troops of the colony. Will take suitable measures to remove causes for discontent and make it understood how much the Canadians and Indians merit consideration. It would not be surprising if M. de Montcalm himself had given them some cause of complaint. One cannot become accustomed at once to their ways and their character. It is necessary to know them well in order to lead and make the best of them. Experience will soon teach M. de Montcalm. It will not be long before he learns that mildness, patience and moderation are often necessary with these people. Folio 21, 2 pages. The same to M. Bigot. Has examined with particular attention the agreement he has made with the Sr. Cadet for the supply of provisions for the troops in Canada, and it is not without great surprise that he has seen the advantageous conditions he has granted. Understands the high prices following the short yield of the last harvest, but these high prices cannot last as long as the agreement This agreement gives the high prices of war years and of bad harvests, without diminution for the years of abundance. Criticism of the various clauses. It is of the last importance that the service be assured, but if there are well founded complaints, whether on the part of the troops, the merchants or the inhabitants, not only will the contract be cancelled but the contractor will be punished. Folio 22, 3 pages. The same to M. de Montcalm. Replies to the letter he has written to M. de Machault. The testimony he gives of the conduct of his officers agrees with that of M. de Vaudreuil. The Marquis de Paulmy has provided for filling the vacancies in the six battalions in accordance with his recommendations. If all the supplies sent arrive at their destination the colony will find itself well provided for. Has seen with pleasure the reciprocal confidence .existing between him and M. de Vandreuil. His experience in the last campaign will have made him aware of the use the Canadians and the Indians can be in the movements to be undertaken. The valour of the Canadians may be counted on with certainity, as well as their zeal and willingness, as long as they are not treated in a distasteful manner. Their situation of- itself "merits consideration and their character calls for it still more. Firmness is sometimes necessary with them but an enlightened mildness would be particularly successful with them. As regards the Indians, he will have perceived, that, while it is desirable not to encourage their natural presumption especially in respect of the assistance they can render us, it is at the same time important to make allowance to a certain extent for the fancies that sometimes influence them. Much patience is required to make the best of them. These remarks do not apply to him but he makes them because he has learned that certain officers have dealt in too harsh a fashion with the one and the other. Should encourage those who conduct themselves in a way to efface impressions of this description. On the subject of rations. The King is pleased with his conduct and has given him the cordon rouge. Folio 24, 5 pages. The same to MM. de Vaudreuil and Bigot. Approves their proposal to fill the vacancies in the Council caused by the deaths of MM. de Lanouiller and Gautier, by the Srs.

The King has been all the more satisfied to learn the details of the expedition of his brother against Fort St. George, that the enemy has referred to it in gazettes as one in which the Canadian detachment has been repulsed with considerable loss. 11 would have been desirable if M. de Rigaud could have captured the fort and rased it, but the advantage of having destroyed the immense supplies the English had collected there is very important. Has learned with pleasure the result of ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 239 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1757. the deputation sent by the five Nations. Is aware of the tone in which the English in Europe speak of their claims on the Indians, and should judge that we can make good use" of this solemn deputation. It remains to be known whether the Iroquois will keep their engagements. Is glad that he has been able to detach the Têtes Plattes and the Loups from the English. The squadron gathered at Louisbourg seemed to have impressed the enemy. Folio 27, 2 pages. The same to M. Bigot. Same subject. Immensity of the expenses. Folio 28, 1 page. The same to M. de Montcalm. Has received his letter of the 24 th April last by way of Ile Royale. Has heard from M. de Vaudreuil the details of the action fought with a detachment of the enemy sent to capture the convoy from Fort Frédéric to Carillon. The King is satisfied with the conduct of the land officers and troops; he has seen in it a proof of the zeal and emulation that exist in the various corps of the colony. Although some recruits were taken by the enemy, he hopes that, with those who have arrived, they will be able to carry out the arrangements that were the object of this increase in the forces. Caused all the provisions asked for to be sent, even increasing the quantity of flour. It is true that two of the vessels carrying them have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Should now be aware of the armaments the enemy has prepared to act against Canada and Ile Royale by sea. The imposing forces sent by the _ King to Louisbourg have arrested the execution of the project. His reflections on the marriage of officers and soldiers in the colony are very judicious. The King is much pleased with the useful remarks he has made on the accounts of MM. De Levis and Bourlamarque. Folio 29, 1$ pages. The same to M. de Vandreuil. The dignity with which the Iroquois have invested their delegation causes the belief that they give.themselves very little trouble to please the English. This, alone, might cause us to I feel confidence in their engagements, if the principles on which they have guided their conduct for so long a period are not known, but their behaviour in the past should be a warning as to the course they are likely to take, and it may well happen that they will be governed by events. Their present action has been too striking not to arouse hope that great advan' ages may be derived from it. Will report to him on the means to attain the objects desired, seeing that the knowledge he has acquired on everything concerning these Indians, and the consideration he enjoys, give him a choice of easier methods than anyone else commands. The most effiicacious treatment is firmness. Will recall all that has been prescribed to him. Experience has shown that for a long time too much leniency has been shown to the Iroquois. Too much confidence has been placed in tbe reports of certain people who meant to render themselves indispensible in all negotiations with the Indians and in showing the opposite side as presenting chimerical difficulties and inconveniences. Knows all that better than anyone. The intention of the King is not to prevent him using circumspection in dealing with the Iroquois, far from that, but be should be careful to do nothing that could lead them to believe that they are feared or that their alliance is regarded as necessary. The King directs, above all that they are not to be allowed to pass certain limits impunity, with which might lead to ill consequences. Whatever the results of the agreement entered into by the deputation may be, they can always be brought forward to show the illusion of the sovereignty that the English claim to have over the Iroquois and the ridiculous pretensions they found on it in the disputes relating to the respective boundaries of the two powers. It will be well for this purpose to draw up a record setting forth the words of the delegates, the replies and what passed generally at the deputation. Will prepare similar minutes on all future occasions. And, as the Iroquois have often made 240 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 1757. public declarations of their independence and these protestations must; have been entered on the registers of the law courts of Canada, begs him to! have a search made and to forward the copies.

Will soon know what to do, particularly if the news brought by the; Goyogouins to the Sr. Pouchot is found correct. Is well pleased with the; success he has obtained up to the present in relation to the government of the Indians. It is well to continue the raids on the enemy in the direction] of Belle Rivière, without at the same time too much compromising the forces at his disposal. Is not well informed of the situation in that portion of the \ country. Would like to know what forts the enemy- has raised in those! parts not only since the commencement of the war but since they have; thought proper to make claim to the lands between the Apalaches mount-j ains and Belle Rivière.

It is an enterprise against Rochefort that the enemy has used the armament the preparations for which for several monthsj have been much talked of in Europe.

On the 23rd, they cannonaded the small fort on Ile D'Aix and obliged the garrison, consisting of 300 men, to surrender. They occupied the island, and that terminated their operations.

The Chev. de Beauffmont left the Cape on the 4th of May. Was surprised that M.

Dubois de Lamotte left on the 3rd of that month with very favourable winds. The English squadron only left Cork on thé 8th of May, and naturally the reunion of the various divisions composing the squadron of M. de Lamotte should have taken place in due season. The English squadron consists of only 14 vessels, the list of which he sent to M. de Lamotte. It took under convoy a fleet of 55 vessels conveying troops, the number of which did not exceed 7,000 men. It is probable that the enemy when he becomes aware of our .forces at Louisbourg will for this year abandon the execution of his plans by sea. Folio 9, 2 pages. 30. The same to M. Franquet.

Sends him the corvette Le Merlin, commanded by the Sr. de la Garde Payan, to inform him of what he knows as to the naval forces of the enemy. Concerning the squadron of Admiral Holborne. The superiority of our fleet, if it can effect a junction, causes the King to hope it will attack the enemy's fleet, whether before it attempts to undertake anything against Louisbourg or Quebec, or in case it endeavours to put into execution the plans against either the one or the other of these two places. Will approve the course he follows in pursuance of his best judgment. Despatched from Rochefort, on the 22nd of May, two vessels loaded with part of the supplementary food supplies for his squadron. The enemy are also sending a warship, with several vessels from Cork with provisions for Holborne's squadron. Folio 10, 2 pagej. 1. The same to M. de Drucourt and Prévost.

Does not doubt that hé wil be able to fustrate the plans of the enemy against Louisbourg and Quebej By his letter of the 30th of last nionth, which left Brest by Le Merlin <J the 8th' of this, he will see that up to that time the squadron of Admira Holborne, comprising 14 vessels, with a frigate of 20 guns, three corvette] a bomb-ship and a fire-ship, was the only one destined for North America The news has since spread that the English Government had sent ordej to Admiral Boscawen, who sailed from Portsmouth to cruise in the Gulf | Biscay with a squadron of 8 ships, to join that of Holborne, but that doij not appear probable, since Boscawen could not have sufficient provisioij for directly undertaking the expedition ; moreover, two of these vessel] that have three decks, cannot make the voyage ; besides, Boscawen, it ruu be supposed, would arrive too late to. act with Holborne. A more like! report is one that sends a ship of 50 guns and another of 40, from Cork i convoy 20 vessels in which the two battalions of Highlanders raised I Scotland were embarked. It would be desirable that he could meet th] fleet in his cruises, and the same might be said of that of Boscawen j what has been reported to him of his destination is true.

For two months there has been a question in [ust 31. England of a considerable armament prepared at the Isle of Wight for an attack on Brest. The latest news informs us that this preject has been recognized as too difficult, and it has even been claimed they have abandoned all idea of attempts on the coasts of France. It is also claimed they have adopted the idea of forming a strong squadron to wait for ours on its return to Europe and that Admiral Holborne has received orders to attack it, strong or weak. This last statement does not seem very probable. In any case he should himself profit by any opportunities he may have to attack Holborne's squadron. Will send before long the squadron fitting out at Brest under the command of M. de Conflans. ' These preparations have been delayed by the. works carried on for the defense of Brest. By the news from England, Admiral Holborne had arrived at Halifax with his fleet, where he was to be joined by General Loudon who has gone to New York with a considerable body of troops with the view of carrying into execution the plans formed against Louisbourg and Quebec.

It is equally certain that he was at Beauséjour at the time of the capture of that fort, and the circumstances connected with his special treament by the English during his retention by them in Acadia, together with his present sojourn in England certainly tend to, render him an object of suspicion. The correspondence he might carry on with persons at Fort Frederic is less important than his knowledge of Louisburg and the relations he may have maintained there. The best use that the warning from M. D'Affy can be put to would be to secure his purpose and to this end to accept the offer made by the one who gave the information.

The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Has seen the details of the raids that various parties of troops, of Canadians and of Indians, have made against the English in the midst of their colonies. The advantages we gain from this kind of warfare, though often small enough, should nevertheless weaken the English and cause them discouragement. It is very proper to harass them in this way, but at the same time he must see that these parties do not go too far, especially when they are composed of troops of the colony and Canadians, of whose blood he must.be sparing. It is regret- able that Fort Duquesne is not better placed and that it was made so small. A good fort in this locality is of importance and it should be placed in a good state of defense. Is touched at the situation in the colony and the zeal that the inhabitants displayed in depriving themselves of their provisions to supply the needs of the army that marched against Fort George. Is satisfied with the results of the negotiations with the Iroquois. Hopes he will be able to withdraw the Mohawks wholly from the side of the English and is very happy to see that the efforts of the latter to secure the other Iroquois served only to make them despised. The firmness he showed in making them give up the murderers of the two Frenchmen who were killed in Missouri had a good effect. The English plan for the invasion last year thit was given to the English Ambassador in Holland was badly conceived. He does well to prepare to repulse an attack on Quebec, but it is not to be believed that the English will involve themselves on the St. Lawrence as long as there is a squadron of some strength at Louisbourg. Is persuaded, by all the information he has received, that the Canadians and Indians contributed greatly to the success of the expedition against Fort George, and that they deserve all the praise he gives them for their zeal and their valour, but sees with regret that he continually makes complaints of the troops from France. Cannot believe that there is prejudice on his part, and exhorts him to treat them in such a manner as to get the best possible service from them. Neither does he question all the good he says of M. de Levis, but, does he believe that M. de Montcalm has less zeal and talent 1 Believes, as he says, that he is careful to conceal from the public the trifling reproaches he considers himself bound to make to the Commandant. Would be sorry if he learned that a perfect understanding did not exist between them. Has written to M. de Montcalm on this subject, and relies that he will perceive a change in. his attitude towards him.

PaSe- The Treasurers-General will give an assistant the capitulation of Fort George, the English exposed themselves to the fury of the Indians notwithstanding the precautions that had been taken to' guarantee their safety. Has conducted himself well in this affair, and from the manner in which he showed what occurred, nothing can be imputed to us in this respect, but on the contrary the English ought to land our generous behaviour. It is very regrettable that they do not imitate us and that they maltreat our prisoners, as is stated.

Communicates to them information he has received which permits him to believe that the dearth can be, to a great extent, relieved by the culture of the potatoe. This vegetable, farinaceous and nourishing, is good alike for man and beast and is grown well in New England. It is much used in Germany and in the Messin country. Knows it gives an abundant yield and it requires little care. Will learn whether this plant exists in Canada, and in this case eneourage its growth. It would be a great resource at a time of scarcity. Will nevertheless make this observation, that it is necessary to inquire, first, whether the ease with which cultivation is carried on may not tend to a diminution of that of wheat when the inhabitants are accustomed to the use of potatoes ; and further, whether there may not be some danger in making this plant known to the Indians, who, scarcely equal to the care required in the cultivation of the grains, may satisfy themselves with growing potatoes, which requires no care. It is in general less their inclinations than their wants that hold them in dépendance on us ; and finding it so easy, to subsist by the use of this vegetable, might we not find a diminution of their attachment ? Begs them to weigh these reflections, for, if on the one hand some 258 CANADIAN ARCHIVES February 28. February 28. March 3. -March 3. ' 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1£ 1758. advantage can be found in this new cultivation, on the other we must endeavour not to fall into a more dangerous inconvenience, if the result should be a disinclination on the part of the inhabitants to continue the growth of the grains. Such disinclination would lead them insensibly inte idleness, and it is important to keep them in the activity and at the work that have made them so brave a people as they are today.

Edified somewhat as he may be at thi good understanding that outwardly exists between him and M. de Vaud reuil, he would gladly hope it were accompanied by all the intimacy thai the good of the service requires. Knows well both are too much attached to the King's interests to allow his service to suffer in essential things, bu at the same time it is very difficult to prevent a division of sentiment, having an influence on operations. This is not the moment to appraise thi; qualities or the talents of those who direct affairs ; the principal object i, to make the best of everything and live in reciprocal good feeling. Wij take note of the recommendations he makes in favour of some officers of th colony, but, as favours can only be granted on the application of M. d; Vaudreuil, he will write to him if he defers' proposing them.

August 7. 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 The same to M. de Vaudreuil. The King has learned with pleasure th advantages gained by the parties of Canadians and Indians during the wii ter in all parts of the colony from Belle River to Acadia. The success the party of the Sr. de Bellestre in punishing the Palatins, destroying their village and rasing the forts that covered them, must have given the Indians a just idea of the firmness of his sentiments and the necessity of paying at tention to what he says to them. Can but praise his conduct and the bravery affcf activity of the Sr» de Bellestre, but sees with regret that they were unable to carry away for the subsistence of the troops the considerabli stores of provisions in this village. It would seem that the 500 horses taken from the Palatins should have sufficed for transport. Fears that the insufficiency of provisions may impede their operations in the spring. The expedition of the Sr. de La Durantaye shows nevertheless that he neglects nothing that is calculated to destroy the enemy and to maintain the advan tages continually gained by him up to the present. The King desires to testify by some favour his satisfaction with the Sr. de La Durantaye for the bravery and ability he displayed in deceiving Robert Rogers and leading him to leave the advantageous position that he occupied on the mountain. Will do the same for the Srs. de Richarville and de La Chevotière, who formée part of the expedition. The loss the English sustained by the defeat oi Robert Rogers must have been considerable, since, in the account they have given of this expedition they claim he escaped after losing many of his officers. They have no others with the Indians except Colonel Johnson, and is glad to learn that the two Nontagués prevented him from carrying out the plan he had formed of going to their village with provisions to secure their adherence to his side. The supplies that he must have received by the vessels met near Newfoundland should place him at his ease with respect to the Indians who left him at the instigation of the English and the scarcity of supplies in our storehouses prevented his retaining. Our successes should make an impression on the Iroquois. The pillage of the village of the Palatins could but confirm that impression": Hopes that the Sr, de Boishébert would have been able to reach Ile Royale with his detach ment of soldiers and Canadians before the arrival of the enemy. Does not say if he was with the 50 Acadians who after having been in the neighbourhood of Port Royal were pursued by a detachment of 200 English, of whom they killed 26, obliging the re3t to retire, with a loss of two wounded only. Folio 42, 3 pages. The same to the same. Has seen with pleasure by his last letter the arrangements he has made to ward off the various attacks that the enemy has planned this year towards Belle Rivière and the Lakes. Notwithstanding his circumstantial reports of the forces that the English are to put in movement, does ndt believe they will be so considerable as stated. In any case is very glad that he was informed soon enough to send M. de Levis ia< the direction of Carillon. Seems to have some disquietude as to Fort .Duques.ie, seeing that the convoy sent from Illinois was waited for by the English at Belle Rivière. Soon learned that this convoy arrived safely at the fort. Is likely to find resources with the Iroquois, whose disposition towards us appears to be good. Tho provisions sent by the Sr. Gradis, and which he should have received, ought to enable him to win their attachment and to cement the alliance with the Loups. Has learned that the neighbouring nations of Ohio, particularly the Chéraquis, have renounced all connection with the English. Might, at the time when he wrote (May have thought he would be reduced to the defensive for want of food, but if he has received the greater part of what has been sent him, he should hav( found himself more at his ease and the confidence of the colony should have been renewed. The King has the greatest confidence in him and in the willingness of the troops and the Canadians.

The season is too advanced to allow the English to undertake anything against Quebec, but in the meantime thgir attention will probably be given to the establishment of posts as far as Gaspé, as much to gain the Indians as to procure safe places for their privateers to put into. Is persuaded that M. de Vaudreuil will do everything necessary to prevent that, without which it will be difficult to victual and help the colony next year, when the entrance to the St. Lawrence will be blockaded. Even this year, under less difficult circumstances, our shipments to Canada have met with heavy losses. Folio 47, bis, 2$ pages. The same to M. de Vaudreuil.

In awaiting the decision of the King, recommends him to show every regard for M. de Montcalm that the good of the service permits. M. de Montcalm in his last letter appeared disposed to a reconciliation with him and to seek his confidence again. Knows that he has authorized M. Bougainville to make efforts to this effect. Hopes they will both discard all counsels and private feelings that might be an obstacle to the good understanding that ought to exist between them. Folio 49, 2 pages. September 23. (In cipher).

To have repulsed and defeated an army of 25,C men with a much inferior corps of troops, can have been due only to the valour, the activity and the zeal of the officers of the various corps, and above all to MM. de Levis and de Bourlamarque, and to the wise dispositions that he had made.

It is not possible, notwithstanding the dearness of food and the consumption caused by the war, that the expenses should rise to such an exhofJ bitant sum unless there has been negligence or abuse. The King has shown'i the greatest surprise and a dissatisfaction that he knew not how to express.

It would have been desirable if the division commanded by M. Duchafauld, which put in at Port Dauphin, could have entered Louisbourg.

Has received the procès verbal of the sale of the English snow La Marie which was taken to Quebec by the frigates La Valeur and La Mignonne. Has seen with regret that he allowed certain supplies to be sold to individuals which he might have bought advantageously for the account of the King, such as bacon, salted beef, flour, candles, 18—35$* , 282 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 1759. butter and biscuit. All these articles were sold at less than half the currect price. Then there is worse than that still, in the sale of the cargo of the English vessel the Britannia, captured by a privateer from St. Malo and taken to Quebec, since he himself stated that the goods comprising the cargo of this vessel were sold in gross for 800,000 livres, that those who bought them would make more than two millions of profit and that he had bought to the extent of a million, Quebec price, himself. Can anything be imagined more opposed to the welfare of the colony and more injurious to the King's interests than this transaction, since he must buy the same descriptions of goods in France and transport them at heavy cost, and at great risk. Nothing excuses him for having bought at second hand what he could have purchased at the selling price. Is all the more surprised at such a method of administration when he sees the colony drained and its expences so exhorbitant. Is annoyed at having to_ make such observations to him, but the evil has reached a point at which it- is impossible not to seek the causes and apply a remedy to them. Folio 8, 3 pages. January 19. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. The enormous expences shown in the finances of Canada have led him to seek for the abuses that must be the cause of the fabulous increase. Has been able to see that those abuses come from the negligence with which the victualling is done and from the liberty] given to dispose of the property of the King, whether in the warehouse or on the market. Will not conceal from M. Bigot that he knows of many abuses that are committed ; that purchases have been made at the trading! posts from individuals of goods and merchandize at excessive prices which are often those the King had sent to Canada ; that individuals have made fortunes too rapidly not to be suspected, that abuses will never be diminished] until those committing them are displaced and even made examples of Another fact capable of producing great abuses consists in supplying the deficiency in the card money, amounting to a million in all, by the payment of the expenses by printed notes signed by the Intendent and sent to the Clerk to the Treasurers who submits them to the Controller's office an( delivers to the public in proportion to the expenses. This production ol notes, contrary to all law, throws into the hands of the Treasurer a prodigious amount of funds which circulates in the colony without th« approval of the King and without any authority. Thereby, the Intendani becomes the manufacturer of the money and the Treasurer is the mastei without other security being required from him than receipts for the quantity supplied without examination as to the manner in which it is employed anc without verification of its conversion into bills of exchange. He can mak< aDy use of it that he thinks best. This is so true that in the month o November when M. Bigot renders his account of the year's expences he only shows in the neighbourhood of the total they amount to. His repor is relied on and the next and succeeding years there is a very heavy excess which increases the embarassment here. Various instructions for the bette control of these printed notes until the end of the war. Folio 10, 3 pages January 19. The same to M. Bigot. Will not enter with him into the details of th different chapters of the expenditures contained in his estimates. It wouk be quite useless, since they do not cover a quarter of the expenses that ar being incurred. Besides, it is not in these estimates that abuses exist; iti in the employment of the funds, it is in the hands of those who have th details that they must be looked for. Expenditure goes on without manage ment, without order, without regard for the interests of the King. How i it possible that the small-pox among the Indians can have occasioned i million of extraordinary expenditures. By whom was this expense incurred Was it by the officers at the trading posts, the store-keepers 1 Everyone, ther is free to distribute the effects of the King and all they have to do is t charge them to expenses. How can be reconcile the enormous demands h ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 283 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1759. has made this year for goods on the pretext of general scarcity, when, by his other letters, in referring to the capture of Fort Frontenac, he tells him that the King lost in that fort a prodigious quantity of food and merchandise? This fort was, nevertheless, not the depot for the posts of lakes Ontario and Erie and of Belle Rivière. Besides, since the million was expended for the posts of the west, how came it there was such an accumulation in that of Frontenac. Sees with surprise that independently of the immense supplies received last year in Canada, and which would have been sufficient for all the trading posts, considerable. quantities of merchandise were purchased from individuals even at the posts themselves. Must think, from the transactions, that the property of the King, sufficient to be rapidly consumed on its arrival is in reality sold back to the King at excessive prices. Is no longer astonished at the immense fortunes that are seen in Canada. Liberty to dispose of everything to suit oneself is the true cause, particularly when the certificates of presents pretended to have been made to the Indians are accepted without examination, or, when, like the Sr. Dauterive, Clerk to the Treasurer at Montreal, one is quits by retiring from the service. The legal enquiry that is to be made into his office prevents his being made an example of. His precipitate departure from the colony confirms all suspicions. Understands that he cannot be everywhere and look after all the details, but he can select men of integrity and act severely towards delinquents. Production of treasury notes. Instructions in this respect. It is certain that the colony will become an insupportable burden, if the expences continue to increase as they have done since 1755. Folio 12, 5 pages. The same to M. De Vaudreuil. In view of his age and infirmities, the King has granted retirement to M. de Noyan, the King's Lieutenant at Three Rivers. His place has been given up to M. de Noyelle, Major of the same town. On his recommendation, the King has created a Major- General Inspector of the troops, and three adjutants This majority has been given to the Sr. Dumas, and the three adjutancies to the Srs. Des Melaises, at Quebec, De Charly at Montreal and de Longueuil, jr., at Three Rivers, The places left vacant by the Srs. Dumas and De Noyelles have been given to the Sr. Le Verrier at Quebec and de Sabrevois at Three Rivers. Other promotions. Folio 15, 2 pages. The same to the same. Sees, froin the details of his letters, he has done all that he believes advisable to assure the fidelity of the Indians, but that events have not responded as much as he hoped to the cares he had bestowed. What he says of the Indians at the affair of Carillon shows how little they can be counted on. Knows them too well, particularly the Iroquois, not to feel assured that they will never lose sight of the principles by which they have always guided themselves. Notwithstanding that they promise much and fulfil little, that their interest alon'e moves them, and that they receive presents from the English as they do ours, they have not the less observed an exact neutrality. Their conduct now is the same as in the preceding war. Believes they have been treated too prodigally_ with presents, unless presents have been made use of as a pretext to embezzle the King's property. May discover whether these presents have really been made. It is not possible, as is frequently said, that the English treat the Indians better than we do, if it is true that the expenses we have defrayed have been equally large. Leaves all this to him but will see that the expenditures incurred for them do not serve as a pretext for embezzlement. Folio 16, 2 pages. The same to the same. Has granted the Cross of St. Louis to the persons recommended by him, to wit: the Srs. Herbin, St. Ours, Des Chaillons, Chev. de Bonne, De Lorimier, La Pérade de La Naudière, Beaujeu de Villemonde. La Corne St. Luc, De Lsry, and de Ballestre. Has granted a pension of 1,200 livres to M. de Noyan, another of 1,200 284 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A.

Has granted extraordinary gratuities to the Srs. de St. Ours, de Corbière, Des Melaises, De Langy and Montegron, who distinguished themselves in various actions. Folio 17, 1$ pages. January 20. q^e same to M. Bigot. Can only approve the assistance he has sent to the Acadians at Miramichi and the river St. Jean, as well as to the Micmacs in the vicinity of Acadia. The expences defrayed on their account have been enormous and without much benefit. Their continual transmigration from Acadia to the river St. Jean and the interior of Canada has only served to multiply the expences and to the loss of many persons. In the condition in which things are, too much attention cannot be paid to getting these people to settle on the shores of the river (St. Lawrence) where the largest number have taken refuge. The havoc committed by the English, both in tbe Gaspé district, and that of Mont Louis, makes the . necessity felt of reuniting them so that they may maintain themselves by their , own efforts and make a stand against the • nemy.

The King has shown his confidence in. him by accepting all his recommendations in regard to the promotions, and* has no doubt he has acted without favour as without prejudice. AL DAillebout, Lieutenant of the King at Montreal, has represented that M. de Longueuil had been made Governor of Three Rivers to his prejudice.; It is true that both have been Lieutenants since 1749, but M. Longueuil! entered the service of Canada only in 1726, while M. D'Aillebout has served- since 1712, and rendered services before and during the siege of Louisbourg! in 1745, and since that in Canada. Does not blame him for having pre-; ferred M. de Longueuil, but wishes him to be placed in possession of M.| D'Aillëbout's representations.

The King is so satisfied with the services of M. de Rigaud that he has granted the request he made for the concession for life of the post of the Bay. The King, in granting him this favour, has departed from the rule that he established in the colony to have all the posts leased and to make no further grants to anyone. Folio 24, 1 page.

Has examined the reasons for suppressing the gratuity of 6,000 livres that the King gave to the Seminary of St. Sulpice. When it was granted, it was to induce the priests of St. Sulpice to give education to the children of the Indians of the mission at the Lake of the Two Mountains. This cause no longer existing, the gratuity should cease. When the Seminary obtained this concession, the 27th of April, 1718, it took upon itself the care of this Mission purely and simply. If subsequently the Mission became more extensive, the concession benefitted in proportion. Folio 25, 1 page. The same to M. de Noyelle.

Cannot under present circumstances, accede to his reiterated requests to be allowed to return to France. Should postpone his return until next year ; in the interval, he will look for a person capable of filling so important an Intendance, and make arrangements for filling the places connected with it. In the meantime he has limited himself to asking from M. Hocquart a good worker suitable for assisting at Quebec. He has recommended the Sr. Querdisien, who is to go to Quebec on the frigate La Pomone. He will be in charge of the bureau des fonds, which is the buisiest and calls most for method. Folio 34,1$ pages. The same to MM. de Vaudreuil and Bigot. The abuses he has pointed out are not the only ones existing. Is informed that theworks on the fortifications carried on under contract are let to persons under borrowed names, and thatj most of the officers who by their position are expected to look after the; economy and solidity of construction are nearly always the contractors. If that is so, as there can be little room to question, it is not surprising thatj the fortifications cost so much and last so short a time. On the one hand, the engineers, who should be the controllers, are the contractors for the works,; and abuses such as those they have allowed up to the present time can only! be looked for ; on the other, when the works are being carried on by' day; labour for the King this method also becomes a still further source ofj abuse, by means of the certificates that the engineers deliver for payment and which are cashed on presentation.

Has seen by his letters to General Aber- cromby and the latter's replies, that he has done all in his power to induce him not-only to execute the articles of capitulation of Fort William but also the exchange of prisoners. The conduct of this general is the same as that followed by England with us in Europe, seeking to confound with the prisoners of war persons arrested before the declaration of war. Irregular as this conduct may be, it is nothing in comparison with the action of General Abercromby in annulling the capitulation of Fort William Henry. Military engagements of thjs description have always been observed by the nations and it is the English alone who evade the obligations they contract. Thé only way to constrain them would be to gain numerous advantages over them. Conduct he should observe with regard to the exchange of prisoners. Folio 42, 2 pages.

Profits by the departure of the vessels belonging to the merchants of Bordeaux to acknowledge the receipt of the letters he sent him by the schooner L'Extravagante and the vessel Le Héros. Is waiting with impatience for news. The King has seen with much satisfaction all he says of the zeal and bravery of the troops and the inhabitants of the colony. Folio 56, 1 page. The same to M. de Bourlamarque. Has learned with pleasure that his health is sufficiently restored to allow him to take the command that has been entrusted to him at Carillon. Folio 56$, $ page. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Profits by the vessels that the Srs. Des- cloux are sending from Bordeaux to answer his letters by L'Extravagante and Le Héros. See that he has received all his despatches and that he has made all his dispositions for a good defence on the St. Lawrence as well as on the side of Belle Rivière, Lake Ontario and Lake St. Sacrement. Cannot enter into any explanation. When this despatch reaches him, the fate of Canada will have been decided. The presence of the English in the St. Lawrence has no doubt prevented his sending out any vessel to inform him of what has occurred since the month of May. As the English had at that time already made their arrangements for attacking Fort Carillon, is surprised at not having learned anything by way of England of what had been done in that direction. The King counts on his zeal and the bravery of the Canadians. Well knows that his numerous occupations prevent his closely following the question of the expenses, but hopes he will be able to do so when the operations of the year are ended. Folio 57, 2 pages. The same to M. de Montcalm. Is not without uneasiness as to the fate of Canada. At this moment even, it is about decided. What suprises him most is that not one English vessel has arrived with news of any action in the direction of Canada. The King has been informed of all his plans and of those of M. de Vaudreuil, and has seen with pleasure their reciprocal firmness and the confidence that the troops and inhabitants have in their concerted action. Can rely, if he effects the repulse of the English, that every measure will be taken to assist the colony in the spring. Folio 58, 1$ pages. The same to M. Bigot. Has learned with pleasure of the safe arrival at Quebec of the greater part of the Commissary's vessels and the storeships L'Atalante, La Pomone, L'Amélie and La Marie. Has made him aware of the reasons that prevented his sending greater assistance. Will not reply in detail to the observations he has made to justify the excessive expences that have been incurred. His bad administration is sufficiently proved by his own letters. It is quite true that the expences are immense, that he does not know the use to which they are^ put, that he pays them without examination, that he follows the run of the expences so little that when they are made he is still unaware of half the amounts, and that after they are made he finds an error in his cash of 3,600,000 livres. Can greater confusion be imagined, and can it be conceived that an Intendant is ignorant of his position to such an extent? It is none the less true, and his reply confirms it, that he bought for 812,000 livres the fourth or the third of a cargo the whole of which he could have had for 800,000 and on the balance of which the Commissary, who purchased it, made more than a million. What a difference, for the King's interests, between the loss or profit on such a transaction ! It is useless for him to pretend to justify, by means of trade, the fortunes that are made in Canada. Trading is prohibited to all persons in office. They are placed there only to protect it, not to carry on even the most legitimate, and for the strongest reasons should abstain from dealing in concessions and monopolies that they ought to prevent with all their power. For three or four years, has there been the slightest liberty of commerce that would render it legitimate ? Has heard nothing, and seen noth- 290 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1759. August 29. August 29. ' 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 ing, in the letters he has received, but continued jobbing in provisions and goods ; or he who sells goods to the King, or to individuals at last hand, does so at ten times more than they cost in France. In i he first case, what infidelity in the administration, by the expenses the King is made to defray ! And in the second, what exactions from a people already sufficiently unforJ tunate through the war. Thus it is not a question, as his misplaced observation puts it, that even gentlemen may follow trade in Canada. What is certain is, that, no matter how that which has been carried on in the colJ ony, since the war, is looked at, it can only be regarded as criminal on the part of all those who have taken part in it or those who have favoured it or even tolerated it, and above all for persons employed in the service, and it would be very grievous if the heads of the colony had given their permission or an example. There are important points in his administration, suspected, or neglected, or not perceived, and well capable of exciting regrets for all that has passed up to the present. Is sufficiently warned by the letters he has written him this year. Exhorts him, for the last time; to give them his serious attention, for they will not escape his own. Folic 59, 3 pages. The same to M. Kanon. Is very glad to learn of his arrival at Quebec, with the greater part of the vessels of his convoy. Folio 60$, $ page. The same to M. Bigot. Replies to his. two letters of December 3. 1758, and April 15, 1759, concerning the expences. In the first, he says that, instead of 16 millions of bills of exchange drawn to the end of 1758, they will amount to 24 millions, of which a part is for expences of the preceedingi year that were not known and paid off until 1758. In the second, he says he expects the drawing of the bills of exchange for 1-759 will amount to 31 to 33 millions. Believes there has never been an example of so enormous an expenditure nor of the easy manner in which he announces it, as though he supposed such heavy sums could be had without trouble, notwithstand ing-the expences of the other colonies and the multiplicity of those theKin« is obliged to provide for in the midst of a general war. There are, then, nc limits to those of Canada, the progress of which, with the same number ol persons, and the same objects of expenditures, doubles nearly every year, without appearing to attract any other attention than that of their payment. Does he think such an administration can be approved by the King and that it is sufficient to say that he has ordered 33 millions for payment to take such immense sums from the Royal Treasury, and that too for ex] pences incurred without sanction ar.d often without necessity, always withi out economy, of which it is enough to overcharge but a small portion tc make a considerable fortune, and where the matter is to him of such minoi importance, that, after believing himself clear for 16 millions he find twc months afterwards the total has amounted to 24 millions. Charged with the administration of Canada, in regard to the expenditures, the payment o! which has been made easy for him, perhaps very much too easy in allowinf him to draw bills of exchange, does he think the confusion that reigm is justified by saying that everything is dearer and prices have reached aE excessive point, that it is no. longer possible to meet the expences of the trading posts, that at the least retrenchment the troops complain and the Indians menace, that most of the expences are made without his knowledge and that there are great abuses ? What measures has he taken to diminisl these expences ! What representations has he made to M. de Vaudreuil foi the suppression of those that might be overlooked, where are the letters written to him or his predecessors to detail the abuses, to name the authors; to indicate the means for supplying remedies 1 Sees in his correspondence nothing but general phrases from which much negligence and tolerance or his part can alone be inferred. Here is the evil that he suffered to exist here is what is attributed to him, of having restrained the commerce in thi ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 291 SESSIONAL PAPER No 1759. ebruàrv 3. free victualling of the colony, of having charged with the provisioning one individual only who, under the name of Commissary General, made himself master of all and gave to all the price he derired, of having purchased for the account of the King at second and third hand what he could have procured at first and at half the prices paid, of having made the fortunes of persons who had relations with him by the interest he gave them in those purchases or in other transactions, of having himself maintained the most splendid state, on the most extensive footing, in the midst of public misery. All the letters from the colony unite in attributing the situation to his bad administration and in taxing M. de Vaudreuil with weakness in not taking upon himself the work of reform. As it would perhaps be useless to hope for this, and as it is of the last importance to the Kingdom to put a stop to the stream of bills of exchange that he announces for the end of this year, the intention of the King, to whom he has reported, is, that he is absolutely not to draw except for the pay and subsistance of the land troops and troops of the colony and indispensable expences concerning the military service, on which the King recommends bim to bring to bear the greatest economy. Will give attention to showing on the title or on the margin of the bills of exchange that he issues the nature of the expenses for which they are drawn. Warns him that in default of this precaution these bills will not be honoured in France. P.S. Begs him to reflect most seriously on the manner in which the administration confided to him has been conducted up to the present. That is more important than perhaps he thinks. Folio 61, 2$ pages. The same to M. de Bougainville. Nothing could be added to the diligence he has shown in reaching Quebec. Has been closely followed by the greater part of the vessels that sailed from Bordeaux, Brest and Rochefort. Is persuaded of his attention in communicating the intentions of the King for the defense of the colony to MM. de Vaudreuil'and Montcalm. Their replies prove it. Folio 62, $ page. The same to M. de Pontleroy. Is thankful to him for his observations as to the works on the fortifications. Recommends him not only to verify exactly the certificates that have been or may be given to the workmen for their labour; and, moreover, to absolutely refuse to accept all receipts which he may find to be fraudulent. Relies also on his reporting exactly and circumstantially on all the abuses that are practiced in the colony. Must see to it. His position gives him the power and the means. Folio 63, 1 page, The same to M. Kerdisien. Has been pleased to learn of his arrival at Quebec and of his promptitude in getting to work on the matters with which he has been charged under M. Bigot. Hopes he will neglect nothing to meet his views and justify his selection for the duty. Folio 63, $ page. .The same to M. de Montcalm. Has received his cipher letter on the situation in Canada. However trying this may be, the King counts on his doing everything, in concert with M. de Vaudreuil, to continue to defend the colony during the coming campaign, or at the least to preserve an essential part, in order later on to be able to recover the whole. Has recommended M. de Vaudreuil to consult him in all operations and believes he will not fail to do so, seeing that he had learned with pleasure there was no longer any question between them of the small misunderstandings that at first prevailed. It is a question of saving the colony and that should suffice for a general and. a citizen so zealous as he is. The number of troops will be less than he asked, but it is all that circumstances allow. M. ,de Bougainville, who has acquitted himself well of the commission with which he was entrusted, will tell him of the impossibility of doing more. The remarkable success he has gained over an army much superior to his own, leads him to hope that with such brave troops he will be able to stop 292 CANADIAN ARCHIVES • 5-6 EDWARD VIL, A. 190C 1759. the progress of the enemy and render most of their enterprises useless Folio 64, 1 page. February 3. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Recommends concord with M. de Mont calm and forgetfulness of the small subjects of dispute he formerly hac with him. Should not appear in the campaign except it becomes a question of a decisive operation and of marching all the militia for the genera defence of the colony. Could do so, after having consulted with M. de Montcalm, if necessary to confirm the confidence that the Canadians have in him, for it is certain their courage would be greatly stimulated if thej saw him at their head under difficult circumstances in which the facts oi the colony were in peril. Outside such necessity, he should not quit the centre of the colony. Would do well to show himself in the country, tej encourage the old men and the women to work the land. The Sr. Péan whom he has sent with M. de Bougainville, has gone to Bordeaux tohaster the departure of the shipments of the Commissary, and M. de BougainvillJ will lose no time in embarking for his return to Canada, after having per! formed the object of his mission. He is very zealous for the colony anc appears to be particularly attached to him. Folio 64$, 1 page. February 3. The same to MM. Vaudreuil and Bigot. Has received all the ciphei letters they addressed to him, to the end of the last campaign, on the necesj sity for succour. The King has proved by shipments of every description and by the exactitude with which he has paid the prodigious mass of the' bills of exchange, drawn with such little discretion, how much he has a( heart the preservation of Canada, and the relief of the faithful inhabitants! and the brave troops employed in its defence. Would be disposed to senti the same assistance, but the continuation of the war in Europe, the toe great dangers of the sea and the necessity of uniting the naval forces, dd not allow- their separation and hazarding a part to procure them uncertain! help that will be employed more usefully for the State and the relief ol Canada in more prompt and decisive expeditions. It is for these conclusive reasons that it has been decided to reduce the outfitting of transports to be sent to Quebec this spring, to two frigates, armed as storeships, and foutj privately owned vessels, half from Brest and half from Rochefort, in order td divide the risks. All that these vessels can carry, in munitions, artillery] clothing, merchandize for trading and for the King's storehouses will bej embarked. With regard to provisions, the supply is assured by several expeditions that will sail in February or March from various ports in the Kingdom and from foreign countries under neutral flag. Has also believec! advantage should be taken of the offers of several English vessels for the same work. The correspondents of the Commissary are arranging on their part to have their vessels on the way at an early date. Counts on there being sent by these various vessels and by two of the King's frigates tha< merchants are fitting out on a fifth-share at Dunkerque, about 160,< 000 pounds of powder. Will send by the Commissary's vessels about 500 recruits. Will forward about 60 persons, engineers, designers, carr- noneers, miners and workmen. If the efforts made in regard to Canada are less than previously, it is because we are forced to it by larger opera tions in which they should acquiesce all the more willingly that they are the result of the previous efforts made to help Canada. What is proposed to be done tends to free Canada from greater part of the forces she has t< fight. In this way the colony may arrive at the same results with less help M. de Montcalm ought to be consulted not only on all operations but on all parts of the administration that relate to the defence and preservation of" the colony.

Gives them no precise instructions ; relies on them. The important point is, not to have lost the whole of the colony when the time arrives to negotiate for peace. February 3. The King places at their disposal the two frigates that he sent to Quebec, Could usefully employ the Srs. Levasseur, Pellegrin and Vauguelin if the English attack Quebec by the river. The last named has given proofs of bravery and intelligence at Louisbourg. If they see a prospect of any particular success by the use of spies, they are authorized to expend 200,000 livres for this purpose, and if the services of these spies should be in the nature of rendering the efforts of the enemy during the campaign useless, they might employ as much as 500,000 livres and mo re. Will if the circumstances require it, march every man in a condition to bear arms. The King is occupied with more efficacious aid for them, not only by fresh succours but by operations capable of bringing about diversions that will leave them less force to cope with. The King will make more out of their services on the defensive to which they are reduced, than of succeses gained under more favourable circumstances. The important point is to preserve part of the colony in order to recover the rest at the conclusion of peace. Folio 66$, 3 pages. (Here follow 60 pages concerning Louisiana.)

ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES. 1760. The President of the Navy Board to M. Bigot. Was justified in making known to him, last year, the grievous consequences that would result from the financial administration of Canada. Foresaw, at that time, the necessity that would arise for suspending payment of the bills of exchange ; and that course has been resolved on. The suspension is limited and the unpaid bills of exchange bear interest until they are registered. The King has restricted the objects for which the bills of exchange can be drawn, and the total is fixed at 2,400,000 livres. The bills of exchange this year, must not exceed that sum, under. any pretext ; or they will not be paid. On the other hand, arrangements having been made for meeting them, the King wills that the 2,400,000 livres be paid in the course of the year 1761. All the bills of exchange to be drawn should be charged to that fiscal year, the payments being spread over the last nine months. Should apply himself to calming the alarm that this suspension will create in the minds of the people. The fidelity and zeal of Canadians are too well known to him to doubt their readiness to submit to this necessity. The King reserves to himself the hearing of disputes that may arise between creditors and debtors, as the result of the suspension. Various instructions in this regard. Folio 1, 4 pages. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Sends him the list of promotions that the King has accepted for filling the vacancies in the troops of Canada. Has followed nearly all his recommendations. Has left over until the end of the year the granting of pensions and gratuities to those whom he has recommended, "which will be done without his having to renew the demand. The King has nevertheless granted from the present time pensions to the widows of officers who have been killed. Has accorded the Cross of St. Louis to the officers for whom he has asked it. Folio 3, 2 pages. The same to M. Bigot. The correspondents of the Commissary of Canada not finding themselves in a position to undertake the supply of provisions, the purchase has been made for the account of the King. The Srs. Desclaux, Bethumau and Imbert have been charged with procuring them and with furnishing the vessels necessary for the operation. Will not have to concern himself with the payment, but only with the quantity and quality of the goods received. Four hundred men, and officers to command them, will be sent over by the vessels. The Commissary will have nothing to see to in the distribution of the provisions that are to be sent. He alone' will have the duty of making the distribution, and to close the door against all abuses. Folio 4, 2 pages. 306 CANADIAN ARCHIVES vim. February 22. February 22. February February 22.

Begs him to use all diligence and zeal, in concert with MM. de Vaudreuil, Bigot and de Levis, to calm the uneasiness of the Canadians with regard to the suspension of the bills of exchange. The same to M. Bigot. Begs him to send a detailed statement of payments made on account of their pay to the officers and soldiers who returned France, after the capitulation of Quebec. Folio 6, 1 page. The same to M. de Boulamarque. Has not received news from him, direct, but has none the less been informed by post of the confidence hé commands and of the manner in which he has carried out his orders and the intentions of M. de Vaudreuil. Exhorts him to redouble his zeal and his efforts. Folio 6$, $ page. The same to M. de Levis. M. de Vaudreuil has informed him, in the greatest detail, of the easiness he has experienced on all occasions on which he had to deal with him and on the perfect harmony existing between them. Does not doubt that this harmony, so essential in the critical circumstances of the colony, will be maintained. Folio 7, 2 pages. The same to M. de Vaudreuil. Will not enter into any of the details ol the observations contained in the letter delivered to him by the Sr. Kanon, His cipher despatch will make him acquainted with the intentions of the King respecting the operations of the present year. They form the onlj object with which he will have to occupy himself. Reserves his reply untii next year to the various matters with which he has dealt. For the moment he will give his attention only to the suspension of payment of the bills ot exchange. The Decree of the Council in this regard will enable him tc understand the necessity under which they found themselves and the means that have been adopted. It only remains for him to calm the uneasiness that this measure will give birth to in the minds of the inhabitants, Various instructions. Folio 8, 2 pages. The same to the same. The King has granted pensions of 300 livre; each to the widows of Captains de Celeron, Major of Detroit, De Ligneris, de Laperriere and de St. Ours, dead of their wounds, last year. There is a question of establishing the militia on a different footing, but the arrange ment he has proposed could only be made under more favourable circum stances. In the meantime, the militia officers can do duty under the commissions that he will deliver to them and which the King will confirm. Folio 9, 1$ pages. The same to MM. de Vaudreuil and Bigot The family of M. de Montcalm have represented that he owed somewhat considerable sums to the Treasury of Canada which made advances to him, they ask that the King, in consideration of the services rendered by M. de Montcalm and of the short time he enjoyed the emoluments allowed him last year, would be pleased to grant the remission of this indebtedness. The King is disposed to favour this family as much as circumstances permit, but before doing sq desires to know the amount that M. de Montcalm owes. Folio 9$, $ pagej The same to M. the Bishop of Quebec. Has not lost sight of his personal situation in that of his diocese. The King has granted him i pension of 3,000 livres and 10,000 as alms for the poor. Sends him the lette; that M. the Bishop of Orleans writes to him on the subject. Folio 10, I page.

Has left no one in ignorance of the facts _ ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 307 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1760. February 22. February 22. The complaints were too general and too well founded to avoid speaking of them and making known the intentions of the King. With regard to the reasons he gives to justify the considerable augmentation of his fortune by successful commerce that he has engaged in and which gave him more than 600,000 livres of profits in the year 1759 alone, they appear to him as singular as the assurance with which he regards such profits as legitimate, above all on the part of the Intendant. Can only defer to another time a reply to him on this point, which requires the closest attention on his part and the most serious examinatic n in order to report specially on it to- the King.

Has received the letter that he wrote to him on his arrival at Brest, with that of the lOth.of September, containing the articles of capitulation of Montreal and of the colony of Canada, with the papers relating thereto. Although the King was aware of the condition of the colony, in default of the reinforcements that it was unable to receive, yet, after the hopes he had given, by his letters in the month of June, of holding out some time longer, and his assurances that the last ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 313 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 efforts would be put forth to sustain the honour of the King before yielding, His Majesty did not expect to learn so soon of the surrender of Montreal and of the whole colony. Granting the force of all the reasons which led to the capitulation, the King has nevertheless been considerably surprised, and less satisfied, at having to submit to conditions so little to his honour, especially in the face of the representations which have been made to him by M. de Levis on behalf of the military corps in the colony. The King, in reading the memorandum of these representations, that he was unable to avoid placing before him, has seen in it that, notwithstanding the slight hope of success, he was still in a condition, with the diminished resources remaining to him, to attempt an attack or a defense that might have brought the English to grant a capitulation that would have been more honourable for the troops. The King leaves him at liberty to remain at Brest for the time necessary for his health. With regard to the officers who are with him, they can retire to their families or elsewhere. It will be sufficient if he is informed of their place of residence. Folio 280, 1$ pages. December 5. The same to M. de Rostan. Has just been informed by M. de Vaudreuil, that horseflesh and putrid beef were found to form part of the provisions embarked on the vessels Le Marchault, Le Bienfaisant and Le Marquis de Malauze, which sailed this year for Canada, and that the troops for whom it was intended, being unable to eat it during the voyage, were very badly fed. Is much surprised at this, particularly as regards Le Marchault, the fitting out of which was under his direction, but there is no room to doubt it, the fact having been well proved by the commander of the troops at Restigouche.

The King has signified to his subjects his desire to procure peace, in making public the negotiations of MM, de Bussy and Stanley. The concessions offered by the King, considerable as they were, did not prove sufficient to decide a nation so ambitious as England to accept them. For this reason, the King has determined to unite the Department of War with that of the Navy, to oppose all his resources with greater success to the unlimited views of England. The King relies on all his provinces and above all on those forming part of the State, to find the resources that he needs. Would with pleasure see Languedoc give the example, in adding to his navy a vessel of 74 pieces of cannon which would be named Le Languedoc.

NEWFOUNDLAND. MINUTES OF DESPATCHES. 1762. The President of the Navy Board to M. le Chev. de Ternay. Has received by the Srs. de Courval and Blondelas the two letters that he wrote to him from St. Jean. Has informed the king of the conquest he has just procured for him. Has approved the disposition she has made for the preservation of this post, in concert with M. le Comte d'Haussonville. Has equally approved the choice of M. de Bellecombe as commandant of the fort. Will send two vessels to Newfoundland, with 80 infantry, and 50 of the artillery, and provisions, munitions and necessaries for a garrison. One of these vessels is the frigate Le Zéphir, fitted out as a storeship. She will be commanded by the Sr. de Courval, who will sail from Brest ; the other will be a privateer from St. Malo, commanded by the Sr. Blondelas, whom the King has made lieutenant of frigate. If these vessels arrive safely at St. Jean, greater help will be forwarded in the spring. The Srs. de Ste. Marie and de Martigny, captains, and de Bellecourt and de Roche- blave, lieutenants, will embark on these two vessels, with all the Canadians not prisoners on p role who can be found. Folio 1, three pages. The same to M. de Bellecombe. Sends him the copy of the letter that he has written to the Chev. de Ternay, to keep him advised of his intentions in case the former should have left St. Jean with his vessel. The King is very pleased with his efforts to preserve the conquest for him. Sends him two vessels and some troops and provisions. The vessels will leave from two different points to avoid the relief of which he is in need being entirely lost, in case of serious accident. Can make good use of Le Zéphir to defend the entrance to the port, with the batteries that he will have prepared, in case the English should come and attack him during the winter with a squadron that they are preparing. Their gazettes speak of the despatch of the battalions, but doubts their being employed for the present in a descent towards St. Jean. It is more probable that they will have them pass to Halifax or Plaisance, to be in a better position to make their expedition against St. Jean earlier next spring. For this reason, will send relief at the end of February to reach him at the commencement of April. Folio 2, 2 pages. The same to M. de Btdlecombe.

Conditions concluded with the Acadians who are going to Cayenne. Folio 26, 1 page. The same to M. de Fruignes, Marseilles. The Kins,' proposes to people his colony of Cayenne and to send there a large number of families to make clearings and cultivate the land. This colony being destitute of all methods of amusement, and families being dispersed and left to themselves especially at those moments when they are not occupied, it has appeared to him necessary, in order to prevent melancholy, resulting fron laborious pursuits and reflections on their removal from their native country, which might cause much sickness among these new inhabitants, to procure for them some tambourine players who would have no other occupation than to divert them at the times when they would like to make use of them. This attention for these families, independently of the assistance that will be given them, can only produce a good eflect. Begs him to procure six players of this instrument, with whom he will make an engagement for three years. After they h ,ve consented, will give each one 50 livres and promise them 6 sols a day, in the colony, with rations sufficient for their subsistence. Folio 40, 1$ pages. The same to M. Guillot.

Has received his memorandum concerning the formula of licences to be delivered to the captains engaged in the cod fishing. Existing circumstances necessitate particular attention to the clauses of this formula. The King has made a modification .which does not make it differ from the old formula except by an explanation adding to the words "the length of the coasts," and the suppression of what relates to the contraband trade in furs taken from Canada, this prohibition having become useless by the cession of Canada. Formula. Clause of the Treaty. Folio 44, 3 pages. The same to M. le Duc de Praslin.

Has received his letter, informing him of the great number of persons who offer to proceed to the colonies to settle.

The advantage that he willp secure tor the State, in inducing them to pass to France, will be the| more agreeable to the King as he has views for them in reference to a new colony, but even if they preferred to stop in France, the King wouldl not receive with any the less pleasure people so a alued.

The intention of the King was to have the Acadian families and those from Ile Royale passed to Cayenne, after the conclusion of peace. These people, generally, refuse that course. They represent that, having been born in a cold climate, they would not know how to support the heat of South America. They ask to be placed, in preference, in the provinces of France or given liberty to return to Acadia or Canada. As it is important not to lose these 4,000 persons, and, above all, not to allow the English to profit by them, begs him to study the best use that could be made of them, whether in the cultivation of the land or in manufactures.

The King has granted him his liberty, but there can be no question in future of employing him in posts of confidence.

If, as he claims, it isimposs: ble to take a sum of 56,000 livres from the royal chest, to indemnify thi States General of Brittany, for the non-possession of the domain of Belle isle, it will be impossible to settle the Acadians on this island. Thi would be regrettable, as the greater part of them only came from Englan to France on the promise of the Duc de Nivernois, approved by the Kin, that they would be placed in France, and enabled to earn their subsistence When they arrived in France, M. Bertin, his predecessor, proposed ti employ them in the mines. This proposal was rejected, because it woulj have been cruel for people used to live well, and who have sacrifice everything through zeal and attachment for France, to submit ther to such degradation. At the same time it would have been forfeiting tb King's word. Has offered them to go to West Indies, but the greater pai of them have a pronounced dislike for these colonies.

With regard to the idea of the Duke of Grafton, respecting the exchange of St. Pierre and Miquelon for two other islands, such as Belleisle and another which he did not name, much might be said.

Although the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon are a very small possession for us, they offer many advantages on account of their position. Much more useful objects would be required to decide us to make an exchange, and Belleisle is of no use to the English. Folio 307, 1 page. The same to M. de Kerlerec.

Has thought proper to accede to the demand of the Srs. Rice, who ask that the forest of Brix, situated near Cherbourg, the property of the King, be granted to them. They offer to settle as many Acadians on this domain as can be placed on it. It contains about 13,000 arpents, 4,000 of which yield nothing, and the rest produce such poor wood that the entire forest does not yield 12,000 livres annually. It seems possible to settle nearly all the Acadians there, by granting this tract under a lease for a long term of years without asking either the principal or any yearly dues, but under the condition of undergoing the costs of the settlement of the Acadians, in such numbers as the extent will allow, and for such ■ an amount as the forest and the unwooded land may be estimated to be worth. Besides rendering justice to the Acadians, the state will be discharged of the cost of their maintenance, which amounts yearly to more than 200,000 livres. The Srs. Rice, Irish Catholics, promise to introduce into France the art of beef packing by establishing a manufacture similar to that which they have just left at Cork, and bringing their best workmen.

This demand, which she had already formulated in 1770, was rejected for the reason that, when the late King granted succors to the widows and children of the Canadian officers, he had expressly denied it to those who had remained in Canada, as not needing it. This decisionJbased on equity would have become illusive if the pensions granted to persons in Canada could have been transferred to relatives who have returned to France. However, if the late King was good enough to grant her a pension of 300 livres, on account of her situation, the present state of the finances does not warrant increasing it. Folio 432, $ page. 21.

It is true that his presence in these regions might cause some uneasiness, but there is no doubt that this admiral was carried away to the south by incidents of his navigation and that he was really going to Virginia or Carolina, as the English officer who went on board the vessel of M. de Montazeaud declared, and there is very little to fear for San Domingo, as this fleet which had sailed from Cork only conveyed a few Irish regiments.

Two Indians who came from the Chicachas country report that four Englishmen have brought a lot of merchandise there to thwart the effect of the presents which we had given them. The fort of the Mississipi has not been transferred as d'Iberville had ordered it, as it, ■ was found after his departure that all the lands were not covered with water. M. de St. Denis is in command and has 15 Canadians with him. He is a very good officer and has much control over the Canadians, and even over the Indians. The Spaniards of Pensacola are very unhappy.: They are reduced to eat Indian corn most of the time. If we had not helped them several times, they would have been obliged to abandon their: settlement. The garrison is 200 strong, 100 of whom are mulatto convicts.! The Apalaches have been exterminated by the English and their Indian allies. They have made 32 Spaniards of the garrison prisoners and have burnt 17 of them, including 3 Cordelier fathers. They have killed or made prisoners 6 or 7,000 Apalaches, and have captured 6,000 head of cattle, horses and sheep. After burning their fort, the Spaniards retired to St. Augustin. Only about 400 Apalaches have escaped and taken refuge on our river. 200 Chactas, who were settled near Pensacola, have also taken refuge with us. It is said that they intend going to St. Augustin to destroy that fort, after which they will come and attack Mobile. They ; will not have an easy victory if they come, but he doubts whether they will come. A fort is needed at Ile au Massacre, to protect Mobile.

D'Artaguette on what he has been able to learn concerning the instructions of the late M. de Muy, governer of fort of Louisiana. The river Mobile can only be ascended as far as the Chicachas country in small canoes. The fort the erection of which had been proposed, on the territory of that nation, was to prevent the English from going to our Indians settled further north. They receive French and English equally, and turn away those who came first when the others arrive, so as to prevent disorders. Between them and ourselves are the Chactas. The English go there daily to make slaves whom they exchange for negroes of Carolina, or sell as slaves. M. de Bienville tried to make peace between the Chactas and the Chicachas. It only lasted one year. We are not strong enough to punish those who broke the treaty. They see and speak to each other when here and kill each other when at a distance. A fort can only be erected on the Chicachas territory when we are stronger. If a tannery was built here, the skins of oxen would only cost one pistole each. The vice-roy of Mexico has written to the governor of Pensacola not to dispute our boundaries which extend to the River Verdide. Folio 53, 3 pages. 1709.

It would be expedient to grant peace to the Alibamons who sue for it. The other nations are friendly, and those who trade with the English are neutral. Ascending the Mississipi, many nations are met, composed of good, industrious, and peace-loving people. The soil is good. Going further up the Mississipi, one comes to the Ouabaché 300 leagues from the mouth of the former. The valley of this river is very fertile, and hunting is good, especially that of oxen. It is the finest country in the world. Above this river, in the country of the Caskakias, is a mission of the Jesuits and near Fort of Louisiana. 1708.

Oxen are there in such abundance, that it surpasses imagination. These oxen grow hair and wool according to seasons. The Mississipi has been ascended to its source. Coming down is very easy. There is also an iron mine on the Mississipi. As nearly all the walnut trees are dead in France, those of the Mississipi might be used to make oil. They are very numerous.

There are no Christians among the Indians yet, except among the Apalaches, who were formerly neighbours of the Spaniards. The indigo-plant grows very well, and up to now, without being cultivated. It is said that three crops can be obtained yearly. Mulberry trees are very abundant. The introduction of silk worms would be very advantageous. Believes that the inhabitants would- take kindly to this industry, as the facility of gathering of the crops, which can be done in the shade, and without any fatigue, would just suit the laziness of the inhabitants. Tobacco grows very well, but there is a worm which eats it as soon as it comes out of the ground, this is due, ke believes the proximity of the forest which contains all sorts of insects. The clearing of the land would overcome this difficulty, which is common to all sown crops, even Indian corn. The inhabitants are not very industrious and are consequently poor, They keep a good number of cows as they cost no trouble to nourish. Twelve girls have been sent to Bayou La Fourche. They have been sent from Port Louis by M. de Clairambault, but they are so ugly and so ill- shaped, that the inhabitants of this country, especially the Canadians, show very little eagerness for them. However, two have married. In making a choice, it would be preferable to send nice looking girls rather than virtuous ones. The Canadians and the voyageurs, who are fine men, are not scrupulous about the past of the girls they marry. Not finding them to their taste, they went back saying that they still preferred squaws. It is likely that they would have settled here if the women had appealed to their tastes. Folio 61, 18 pages. M. de la Mothe Cadillac to the Minister. Officers appointed to the Superior Council.

According to what his brother, the Chev. de Chateaugué, says, he does not believe thatitwillbe easyto maintain this fort, owing to the impossibility of protecting the entrance of the bay. There is enough water, but no shelter for ships from the wind. The Spaniards had a small fort there 18 years ago. The roadstead of the Ile aux Vaisseaux appears infinitely superior and much nearer Mobile and the Mississippi. The port of Ile Dauphine is always in the same state, and he does not think that any improvement is to be expected.

The Indians knowing that the Cross of St. Louis is a reward for valour, he thinks that it would be wise to grant it to MM. de Boisbriand and de Chateaugué, who deserve it by their services in Canada, France, and Louisiana. The Superior Council of Louisiana has decided that the post of Baie St. Joseph should be abandoned. Reasons in support. The title of Commandant General is very fine, but he would prefer that of Governor. His position as commandant and King's lieutenant, a position which he has filled for more than 20 years in the colony, besides his services in France in the navy, entitles him to ask for this favour. Moreover, the Spaniards will think more of this title, which may be useful at times. Folio 105, 4 pages. Articles of capitulation of Pensacola proposed by Don Juan Pedro de Matamoros de Isla.

De Sérigny, formerly lieutenant in the Navy, Commandant General in the province of Louisiana to His Royal Highness Since his departure from France, he has done all he could to reach Louisiana as soon as possible with the two frigates of the Compagnie d'Occident. While passing along the Island of Cuba, he met two ships full of people, which attacked him under Spanish colours . After a serious resistance, the Spaniards or pirates, took to flight. He drove them ashore, and would have captured the two vessels if the wind had not died down. Then he continued his route to Ile Dauphine, where he arrived on the 19th of April. Communicated the declaration of war against Spain and his orders. It was resolved to go and attack Pensacola, which is the finest harbour of the whole Gulf of Mexico. Took, with his brother, all the necessary precautions to get ahead of the English. Embarked 200 men of landing troops in three frigates, and his brother de Bienville followed his ships with 4 boats and 80 men. It was understood that his brother de Chateaugué would join them ashore with 3 or 400 Indians of Mobile. His- brother captured the battery of the Island of Ste. Rose, which forms the entrance to that port, after which he himself entered the port without a pilot, as he knew it, having been there 21 years before. After an exchange of shots, the Spaniards lowered their flag and desired a parley. Details on this subject. Has no doubt that the Vice-Roy of Mexico will make an effort to retake this fort. As soon as the Spanish garrison has left for Havana, he will go to the entrance of the Mississippi, to see whether it is possible to improve the channel of this river to allow frigates to enter it. Can assure him that if he does not succeed in the execution of his orders no one will. Has undertaken this expedition merely to please His Royal Highness. Would have wished the brevet of post captain before his departure, in consideration of his long services, and his having left all his family and considerable estates His Highness having asked him to obey blindly, he has done so. Retires on the promise he made. Folio 109, 6 pages. - The same to the same. Continues his account of the events which took place during his campaign. After the capture of Pensacola, 56 of our soldiers have deserted in one batch, the greater part being forcibly enrolled. Having lost their way, they sent one of their number to ask for pardon this was granted to all except two of them who were knocked on the head in sight of the Spanish garrison. Eleven more have deserted since. Nearly all the rest of the garrison has plotted to desert, capture a frigate, and escape to Vera Crux. The attempt was foiled. He anchored at Ile Dauphine on the 26th of July. Was getting i eady, on the first of August, to leave for the mouth of the Mississipi when he was informed that 452 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A 190( 1719. a fleet was at the entrance of the Bay of Pensacola.

Folio 221, 3 pages. The same to the same. Relates several attacks made by the Natchez against Frenchmen and Tonicas. The losses sustained by the latter are regrettable, because they are our friends and form a good barrier against our enemies. The Chicachas who are a brave and warlike nation have openly declared for the Natchez and take their defence. M. Périer has commanded him to engage the Chactas to make war against them, but to succeed in this, a great many presents are needed ; the Indians will only move if they are interested, and we have nothing to give them. If the Company does not send vessels immediately, everything is to be feared as we have no flour, meat, nor wine. The Chicachas who were summoned by M. Périer to deliver up the Natchez have answered that they had not gone to get them to deliver them up and that they would certainly defend them. We lost this nation in 1729, when we stopped trading with them. Folio 223, 3 pages. The same to the same. The report of the massacre of the Tonicas by the Natchez was overcharged. The former sustained a siege of 7 days and the Natchez than retired with the loss of 20 men. The Chactas sent to pursue them did not see them. If M.

His post, which is very important, because the Chactas trade with us there, lacks everything, this is very regrettable as we are trying to decide them to wage war against the Natchez, and should supply them with what is necessary for that purpose.

He was obliged to kill all the oxen and cows to feed all these people. To make it worse, 100 Cado- daquions. who were notified too late to be of use to us, have just arrived. It is regrettable that the posts are not supplied with all that is necessary. Blames the Company which is loosing the country by its negligence. If his post had been well provisioned and well supplied, the expence would not have been very great, and the defeat of the Natchez would have been much more complete.

This settlement consists of quite a considerable number of French inhabitants, who, for the last 25 years, have been cultivating the soil with such success that they have maintained themselves without the help of troops, up to the year 1719, when the company sent garrisons there. Since, the soldiers who obtained their discharge have settled there and live with a number of Canadians, who form two villages, quite considerable in buildings, horned cattle and horses. The village of Cascassias was ceded to the French by the Illinois, about 20 or 22 years ago. They have retired to a distance of a league and a half from the French. This nation numbers about 200 men, some of whom are allied to Frenchmen, who were weak- enough to marry some Illinois women. This is the cause of disorders which are difficult to prevent. These half-breeds are worse than the pure bred Illinois. This village of Cascassias is composed of about 100 families; the Frenchmen have good frame or stone houses, and have good crops of every kind of grain. At certain seasons, traders congregate there. The tribes of the lower Missouri often wage war on more distant ones and sell us the slaves they make. This is as unjust as it is prejudicial to us, seeing that they have never done us any harm, and that this conduct prevents our reaching further inland to join the Spaniards of New Mexico. The settlement of. the prairie at the Fort Chartres is six leagues distant from that of Cascassias. The garrison is not strong enough to prevent insults. The French inhabitants number between 70 and 80 men. A stone fort and a garrison of four companies are needed. The English are trying to attract the Indians of these places to their side. A post should also be built at Ouabaché ; it would guard the River aux Yaux (Ohio), which flows from the east, where the English settlements are. They have, on the upper part of this river, posts which belong to the government of Carolina. Folio 235, 13 pages. M. Salmon to the Minister of Marine.

Having received three shots, he was taken with some of his officers, also wounded, Father Senat, and a few soldiers and inhabitants; the whole amounting to 19. An Indian Avoyelle, a slave with the Chicachas, having escaped to the Alibamons, M. de Bienville caused her to come here. She has reported that, on the day of the attack, 17 prisoners were thrown into two fires. She asserts that during the tragedy, the French sang, as is the fashion amongst the Indians, who thereby judge of the valour of men. The Chicachas kept two alive, probably to exchange them against the two Chicachas prisoners in the hands of M. de Bienville. This exchange will take place through the medium of the Alibamons. Folio 250, 3 pages. Account by the Sr. Drouet de Richarville of the engagement between M. D'Artagnette and the Chicachas during the month of March 1736. Having reached Montreal, on the 10th June 1739, by way of Fort St. Frederic, he says that, in that engagement, three of his brothers were killed, that he himself received two shots, in the left arm and in the abdomen and an arrow wound at the wrist ; that he was captured in arms by three Chicachas and brought to their village with 22 Frenchmen, 20 of whom were burnt at the stake, besides others : Father Senat, a Jesuit, MM. D'Artaguette, de Vincennes, de Cofilanges, de St. Ange junior, Du Tisné, D'Esgly, de Tonty the younger. These gentlemen were burnt together with Father Sénat, on the very day of the battle, between three o'clock in the afternoon and midnight » The other Frenchmen who were burnt were officers and militiamen. The Sr. de Courselâs or Coustillas, officer, was burnt three days later near the grand village with an Iroquois of Sault St. Louis. The Sr. de Courselas had been appointed in charge of the powder stores with 35 men. Having lost his way, he went without knowing it to the village of the Chicachas. Has been unable to learn what became of the 35 men he had with him. He was taken, to the cabin of the chief of the village of Jantalla, where he was kept in close custody during six months by the young men, after which time he became free and hunted with the Chicachas. After an eighteen months sojourn with them, he escaped with Pierre dit Courte Oreille, a soldier of the garrison of Illinois, through the advice of an English trader who indicated to him the route to be followed. Having made 40 leagues, he met some English traders from Georgia, who took him to Mr. James Ogelthorpe, commander in chief of His Britannic Majesty's troops, who brought him back from the Chicachas, who had come to claim him. He gave him a passport enabling hira to pass through Virginia, and thence to Canada. Courte Oreille must have sailed from Georgia to join his parents in Paris. Description of the villages of the Chicachas. These Indians say that they are ready to make peace and deliver the Natchez to M. de Bienville, without his bothering with it. The latter are being treated as slaves. There are about 40 of them. The Chicachas are allied to the Chéraquis. They 18—46$* 458 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 173?. say that they know well that the French will eat them, but, they will eat a great number of the Frenchmen before the end comes. They claim that they only lost one man when they attacked M. de Bienville, and 20 killed and 30 wounded at that of M. D'Artagnette. Folir pages. Unsigned account of the expedition and defeat of M. D'Artagnette, as told by one Parisien. The troop of M. D'Artagnette, which left the Illinois on the 20 February 1736, was composed of 41 regulars, 99 militiamen, 38 Iroquois, brave men who fought bravely, 38 Arkansas, 190 Illinois and Miamis, forming a grand total of 396 men. The Illinois Miamis ran away at the beginning to avenge, they said, the death of one of theirchiefs, killed by a Frenchman the preceding summer. M. D'Artagnette, seeing he was to weak to resist to an enemy who was already superior in number, determined to retreat, to join the powder which he had left \ league behind. He was furiously pursued by the Chicachas who killed from 42 to 45 of our men, to wit : MM. D'Artagnette, de St. Ange junior, de Vincennes, de Coulanges, Lagrancier, de Contigny, 6 cadets ; the officers of militia Des Essarte, d'Estaing, Carrier. Made the following prisoners, Father Senat, Du Tisne, La Lanne and 5 or 6 soldiers. The enemy captured the powder, and if it had not been for the rain which lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning until 7 in the evening, not a single Frenchman would have escaped. There were many Englishmen among the enemy, two were killed while trying to capture the French flag. The Sr. Parisien relates that M. de Monchervau was on his way to join M. D'Artagniette, with 60 men, and M; de Grandpré, with 120 Arkansas, when learning the defeat of M. D'Arta- guette, they turned back. Folio 256, 3 pages. Other detailed account of the defeat of M. D'Artagnette. The troop consisted of 27 soldiers, 110 inhabitants, 38 Iroquois, 28 Arkansas, 100 Illinois, 160 Miamis, all together 145 Frenchmen and 326 Indians. M. D'Artagnette left at Illinois, to command in his absence, M. de la Buissionniére, and the Sr. de Montcharvaux, who were to assemble 180 Illinois to bring them at Ecores à Prudhomme, to join M. D'Artagnettte. Being afraid of falling short of provisions, if he awaited the arrival of MM. de Bienville and de Montcharvaux, he decided, upon the advice of the Iroquois, to attack the Chicachas. Account of the fight. Desertion of 250 Indians. The Chicachas, numbering between 5 and 600, emboldened by this desertion, made a furious attack and surrounded the French. Wounded in the hand and high, M. D'Artaguiette leaned against a tree, and continued to direct the fight, refusing to flee on a horse, which was brought to him. While in that position, he was shot through the abdomen and fell dead. M. de St. Ange to command. Nearly all the French were killed near M. D'Artegniette's body. The Iroquois and Arkansas fought with much courage, and it is due to their valour and their pains that 20 wounded j soldiers or inhabitants were saved during the retreat. On the next day the remnant of the troop met M. de Montcharvaux who was coming to the assistance of M. Dartaguiette with 180 Illinois, 5 soldiers and 8 inhabitants. A Tonica squaw, released from the hands of the Chicachas, declares that the latter were 1200 in number, comprising 100 Natchez and 80 Chouanons. What mislead the scouts was the fact that the villages of the Chicachas are situated on small hills, surrounded by woods, which mask them onefrom the other. Complete list of the killed, wounded, and prisoners. It has been learnt since, by the letters of M. de la Buissonniére, that when within a day or twos march from the Chicachas, M. Dartaguiette had received letters in which M. de Noyan, ordered him, in the name of M. de Bienville, to await him so as to strike the Chicachas together. These letters have without doubt fallen into the hands of the Chicachas, after the defeat of M. Dartaguiette, which gives them a clue to the preparations made by M. de Bienville against them.

Folio 274, 3 pages. Remarks on the war with the Chicachas. (Unsigned). The two unhappy engagements which we had with the Chicachas show us that we must not rely too much upon the Indians. In the second one, under the command of M. de Bienville, certain ill-intentioned Chactas chiefs had spread the rumour that our intention was to make peace with the Chicachas in order to destroy the Chactas with the help of the former. This explains why many abandoned us, and that it was even contemplated to turn against us to destroy us. They know we are very brave, but they do not approve of our way of waging war. They say that we expose ourselves too much, that one must be cunning, and make feints. In fact they are always on the move, while we stand still, and we may easily be killed. The Indian is a good shot and all his shots tell, while on the contary our soldiers do not know how to shoot. They claim that, with all our courage, we would be easier to destroy than they. In a word, our prestige is diminished, the proof of this is in the facilities which Chactas give to the English to trade with them. It is possible that they will not long suffer our fort at Tombecbé. Reasons why it may be preferable to abandon it. To regain our credit, it would be necessary to undertake another expedition against the Chicachas, taking care to insure its success. Otherwise it is possible that the English will succeed in bringing about peace between the Chactas and the Chicachas. The English intimidate the Chactas by letting them understand that if they do not allow them to trade freely with them, they will decide the Cheraquis, with whom the English are allied, to wage war against the Chactas. It is preferable to attack the Chicachas by ascending the Mississippi rather than the Mobile River. The Mississippi is too wide to permit the enemy to ambush us, and we would have on this side the help of the Illinois, of the Akansas, of the Hurons, and of the Iroquois, on whom we can rely more than on the Chactas, Other reasons.

Among the incidents of his captivity, which he relates, is that of his meeting with a German named Pierre Albert, who offered him to join the society he was forming, the aim of which was the establishment of a republic in this country and, later on, in France ; based upon liberty, equality and fraternity, where every one would find all that was necessary for subsistence, and other necessaries of life"; where every one would contribute to the welfare of the community according to his capacity, where there would be no superiority, where every thing would be in common, where the women would have the same liberty as the men, where there would be no marriage and where the children would belong to the republic, and be instructed in all they could learn.

It had procured men and a reward for the Sr. de Bourmont, who had undertaken this exploration but without more success than his predecessors.

Extract from the journal of the voyage made to Santé Fé by the two brothers Pierre and Paul Mallet, Canadians, and the men named Larose, Phillippes, Bellecour, Petit Jean, Gatien and Moreau. They followed the Missouri, but only for a certain distance, instead of ascending higher as had been done before, they then took a south-westerly course, crossed the Platte River and other streams which they believe to be tributaries of the Akansas. They were very well received at Sante Fe. Had to wait nine months for the answer of the Viceroy of Mexico, as the distance is 500 leagues and the voyage is only made once a year in caravans. In his answer the Viceroy tried to persuade them to settle in that country. They believe that his intention was to employ them in exploring a land, which, according to tradition, false or true of the Indians, is at a three months journey inland, where they claim that there are white men, dressed in silk, who inhabit large cities on the sea coast. There are 800 families at Sante Fe, and a number of villigesof resident Indians. There are mines quite near the place which are unworked, and others, further off which are worked on the King's account, the product being forwarded to old Mexico, by caravans. It appears that the governors take possession of all the goods that come there and do whatever little trade there is to be done. The padres and. others would like to do this trade.

Description of the country, its settlements, rivers, &c, &c. Illinois. Fertility of the soil. This country has supplied over 800 thousand pounds of flour to New Orleans in one single winter. It is said that there is a population of 4,000 souls, composed principally of Canadians, who came from Quebec by way of the Oyo. Rivers Rouge and Arkansas. Silver mines. Cultivation. Trade with San Domingo and the Gulf of Mexico In 1686 many Canadians settled in Louisiana. In 1699, M. d'Iberville brought another colony of Canadians, In order to reach here, they follow the river St. Lawrence as far as the small river which discharges into the Lake Erie. From this river a portage is made to the Miamis river which is then descended as far as its confluence with the Oyo and thence to that of the latter with the Mississipi. At the confluence of the Miamis and the Oyo, and at that of the Oyo and the Mississipi, substantial forts should be erected. The capital city should be at Manchac, or about the height of land, whence one can go on horseback as far as the sources of the Mobile, of the Alibamons, and even to that of the Oyo. All the requisite materials, as well as all the necessaries of life, would be found there. Report on Canada, its productions, and disadvantages. Proposes that the Canadians should migrate to Louisiana. Combats the objections raised against this proposal. The Canadians cannot resist without the help of France, and this assistance would even have been useless this year, if the English had not divided their forces in order to capture Louisbourg. The Canadian will not be able to resist another invasion and they will be unable to succour Louisiana. What has saved Canada up to the present was lack of unity in the preparations of the several provinces of New England. Being now exasperated by the ravages of the Indians and the victories of the French, they are vigorously trying to get rid of such unwelcome neighbors. Supposing that France succeeded in restoring her navy to its former state, and repulsed the enemy, could she people both Canada and Louisiana 1 Why then continue to try to preserve the country which costs most and produces least. Discusses the objectionswhich will be raised by the compagnie des pelleteries, the Seigniors, the clergy, the religious communities. Three years could be taken for the migration of the inhabitants. How this ought to be done. If this migration is decided M. de Vaudreuil'should be apprised of it. Folio 1, 16 pages.

Detailed account of the state of Louisiana, as given to M. le Marqui d'Ossun by an officer of the Swiss company which the King maintains iii this colony, who went to Madrid in the month of Nov. 1761, having crossec from Vera Cruz to Cadix. The number of Frenchmen settled in Louisiam is not more than 5,000 souls. Their settlements are scattered along th« right bank of the Mississipi for a distance of 200 leagues. The largest es tablishment is that of the Jesuits. They have a hospital in the town where they should keep, according to the Royal Institution, two brother; and one father to send to twelve other religious the assistance necessary foi their missions among the Indians, but the contrary has been done, as li fathers have taken their residence at New Orleans and only one or two gc now and then on missions amongst the Indians. Their establishment is the richest in the colony. It contains 150 negroes and these fathers do an exclusive trade with the nations of the Illinois country. The only product of Louisiana is indigo which is of a superior quality. The Jésuite have begun the cultivation of sugar canes. There are at the most 3,000 negroes. The colony produces indian corn in abundance. There are oxen, deer and other animals. Merchandise would have been altogether wanting since the beginning of the war, if it had not been for some Englishmen, who came to trade some for indigo. When an Indian owns a gun, he becomes quite a person of consideration in his tribe. If the French cannot supply goods to- their Indian allies, it is certain that the Engish, who are abundantly supplied, will end by detaching them'from us. It is, however, said that, in general, the Indians much prefer the French, to the English, as they look upon the latter as traitors, whose main object is to destroy them little by little, and it is added that this opinion is based on many treacheries which the Indian allies of the English have suffered from them.

Rochemore and Belot his unworthy secretary. The tyranny of the first increases daily and the vexatious acts of the second are such that he «is obliged to watch for his safety, while awaiting an opportunity to expel him from the country. If the inhabitants had not been sure of the date of his arrival, there would have been a revolt concerning an English ship of truce sent in the regular way, by the Governor of Jamaica, and charged with flour, provisions, &c, <feo, at a time when the colony was in absolute want of everything. Without regard to the inhabitants' misery, M. de Rochemore confiscated this vessel, upon his own authority, and without the ordinary observances. It is while he was at Mobile that he received a petition signed by the principal inhabitants and officers asking for a withdrawal of this confiscation, as the colony suffers from a want of provisions, and that it can sustain itself only through the means of ships of truce and the neutrals. If M. de Rochemore's action was sustained, this would drive away the neutrals from the colony and would leave us in the greatest distress. Will cause the seals affixed by M. de Rochemore to be taken off, and will require him to withdraw his orders.

They have confessed the fact, saying that they owned the land, and had a right to allow whom they pleased on it and that they would never allow the English to pass ; that the French had never brought them any sickness, but that the English had brought smallpox with them, and had caused nearly all of their children to die. " Be angry if you will," said one of the chiefs, "our duty is to go and await them on the Ecores Blancs, and if they wish to come again we will have the hpnour of repulsing them once more." In returning to New Orleans, the English were imprudent enough to shoot on the village of the Tonicas ; this caused the latter to pursue the English and kill several of them while they lost no one.

The Miamis, Kikapous, Mascoutins, Onyatanons and Peauguichias chiefs came here last month. They protested their attachment to France and asked for assistance, saying that they lacked everything, and if they were not succuored, their wives and children would all perish. Has taken the opportunity to tell them that this was due to the war which they had declared with the English; if they consented to lay down their arms as M. de Neigon had asked them to do, they would receive all the aid they asked for from their Father as well as from the traders, and if they wished to take this decision, he would help them. They answered that they preferred to die rather than make peace with the English. They are very angry when spoken to about this.

Besides we wish to follow the course adopted by our brothers who are now fighting the English. We hear their gunshots. We had assured thee, Father, that we would always act according to thy will, but today, we cannot do so and have to do otherwise. Finally, Father, do not be angry if I say that, after carefully weighing what thou and this English chief hast said, we have unanimously decided to continue the war like our brothers, and never to receive the English on our lands. This is why we ask thee (addressing the English officer) to go as soon as possible to join thy chief and report the determination of the Illinois, which is to wage war against the English, as our brothers are doing, if they come on our lands. Go, leave as soon as thou canst, and apprise the chief of all that thou hast heard ; that we are the children of the French and that they are the only ones whom we wish to have among us ; tell him that these lands here are ours, and let nobody lay claim to them, not even other red men. Why dost thou wish to come here ? Thou dost not know us, we have never seen thee. Tell thy chief to remain on his lands as we will on ours. Take, I repeat it, the first occasion to leave and assure the chief that we want no Englishmen here and that such is the unanimous sentiment of all red men. Depart ! go quietly, fear nothing, no harm shall befall thee. It suffices that thou art in the house of our Father and that thou art seated near him. Go ! and leave us with our French Father. It is he who opened the eyes of. our ancestors and who has made us live, so we only want the French. Adieu !

The Indians are notified, and, although they are not satisfied, it is believed that the Spaniards will not have very much trouble with them if they know how to deal with them.

Memorial of the inhabitants and merchants of Louisiana concerning the: events of the 29th of October, 17fi8, addressed to M. . The Council, seeing the-calamities which oppress them, could not refuse to listen to the plaintive cries of a crushed people, the proof of it is in its Order of the 29th of October. Our magistrates did not hesitate a moment to send away the so-called governor. We wish to live under the domination of our beloved king, and it is while crying Vive le Roy that we hoisted the French flag on the day of the revolution. The letter of the King to M. D'Abadie, led us to believe that the latter would give orders to his governor to maintain the French priests, the ordinary judges and the Superior Council in their functions ; that justice would be administered according to the laws, customs and usages established ; that the inhabitants would be maintained in the possession of their property. This letter of the King was registered by the Council, but M. D'Ulloa did not heed it, although he was received with acclamations, and made great promises. The prosperity of the country depends in a great measure on the fur trade with the Indians. M. D'Ulloa has nearly suppressed it by reserving the privilege to 5 or 6 persons. The exportation of lumber, an industry which benefits directly or indirectly all the inhabitants of the country, has also been restricted. It is the same thing with all of our" products ; the restrictions which are imposed, force us to sell in Spain only ; this is equivalent to taking all markets away from us, for either our products, such as furs, are not needed in that country, or, the market is already amply supplied by other colonies which produce in abundance and a better quality tobacco, cotton, indigo, tar. Spain having no industry, what can we take in exchange for our products, which, besides, she does not need 1 In accepting the cession of this country, Spain could have none but political views : to make Louisiana the rampart of Mexico. The question may be asked, however, whether this end can be attained by reducing the country to poverty. Decree of M. D'Ulloa and his order of the 6th of September, 1766. It simply tends to reduce all trade and commerce to exclusive privileges The following is a conclusive example. Last year ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 477 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 1768. he forbade the importation of negroes to the colony under the pretext that this competition would hurt an English merchant of Jamaica, who had sent a vessel to M. D'Ulloa to confirm the contract for the importation of slaves. In creating this monopoly, he rubbed his new subjects of the means of procuring slaves cheaply, this for the benefit of a foreigner or perhaps for his own, for it might be supposed that vile material interests made him act thus. What a difference between his attitude and that of our governors, who always received our representations with deference and the desire to remedy the evils we complained of. Without hearing us, M. D'Ulloa calls us mutineers and rebels, and threatens us with confiscation. As he acts thus before taking possession of the country, what will he do after ? Does he take us for Indians of Peru or Mexico ? Spain will draw no benefit from Louisiana, on the country, her interest is that France retain possession of it. This is the real rampart of Mexico, because, the Indians, who are much attached to France, will fight with the French, without asking against whom they fight. It will be altogether different with Spain. Her ways of doing things, which are different from ours, alienates the Indians and throws them on the side of the English. The Genoese, English and Dutch merchants who have witnessed our revolution, will declare that our flag was hoisted without offering any insults to that of Spain; that M. D'Ulloa has embarked with all the liberty possible and without any act on our part which could be looked upon as indecent ; that since, we have redoubled our regards and politeness towards the other Spanish officers who have remained here ; that during the three days of the revolution, no other cry was heard among the 1,200 militiamen, among the women and children, among the whole people, than that of " Vive le Roi de France. Vive Louis le Bien-Aimé ! " We pray the King to take back the colony. Folio 302, 28 pages. 'November 8. M. Aubry to the Minister. Thinks it his duty to report to him the tragical events which have just happened at New Orleans, events which he was unable to control, his forces being useless against an armed colony. The refusal of our soldiers to serve under the King of Spain has obliged him to act in concert with M. D'Ulloa in all things necessary for the maintenance of order in the country. Has neglected nothing to give him information and facilitate his task. All was going smoothly, when a general revolt of the inhabitants of the colony suddenly broke out against the Spanish governor and his nation. Petition of the inhabitants. Having but 110 soldiers to oppose to the mutineers and seeing that his authority was no longer recognized, he advised M.

D'Ulloa to leave within three days, had a presentiment for the last two years that such a thing would happen. Had reported before that M. D'Ulloa, notwithstanding his talents, knowledge, reputation in all the academies of Europe, was not fit to command Frenchmen. Instead of trying to gain hearts, he has done all he could to make himself detested and to create fear of the Spanish government. He seemed to look with disdain upon the chiefs of the Council. He has never said an obliging word to any one. By indiscreet speeches he has given the impression that he did not like our nation. He made threats and led people to believe that they would be despotically governed after his taking possession was completed He has frightened everyone, by his unbecoming conduct, surprising in a man of his wit, he has contributed much to bring upon himself and his nation the events which happened. The captain of the Spanish frigate is preparing to leave but the fury of the populace is such, that he is afraid he will be forced to, if he delays. Since the peace, this country suffers more afflictions than any other; from-the uncertain fate of the French paper money, from the slowness CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 of the payments of the sums due by the King, from the want of currency, from the insolvency of three fourths of the debtors, from the decrease in the value of negroes, from the regret of passing under a foreign domination, foreseeing that they shall alway be unhappy, from the unpopularity of its governor, from the decree which deprives this province of the trade with the Islands and France. All this, added to the extreme destitution which reigns, has reduced the people to despair. Forwards a copy of the letter which M. D'Ulloa has sent to him before going on board. Will see that he gives him the full justice. Provisional arrangements which he has made. The colony is determined not to pass under the Spanish rule happen what may.

Lower Louisiana, products, climate. Upper Louisiana, Mississipi, Indians, return of the exports during the year 1777. The cession to Spain was a fatal mistake, it remains inexplicable to him. The idea of passing from an active and bénéficient government to an arbitrary one has discouraged the inhabitants, activity has slackened ; industry died, but the fecundity of the soil has upheld the edifice. i " This vast ancfmagnificent colony would today be deserted and unproductive if, by the clauses of the treaty of Paris, the English, first, perhaps, among the trading nations, had not shared the privilege of navigation on the Mississipi, and had not awakened the industry of the discouraged colony." Had he bettor known Louisiana, he would have colonized it and assisted it, instead of uselessly spending his energy on the u ngratef ul Cayenne, and to-day, this colony would be in a more flourishing condition than San Domingo. Exagérâtes nothing, Louisiana had been for 50 years, the bulwark of the Antilles. . . . She had in her day been strong enough to stop and repulse the efforts which the United States of America will surely make later on to increase their territory in that direction, and it might have been able to force them back to the north, and direct their ambition towards Canada, and to push their settlements towards this frozen region, which offers for trade only the furs of animals, which recede and are destroyed by the advance of man. It would have served as a barrier to the 'Americans on the Mexican side. It would almost have restrained Spain and strengthened her alliance withus, by constantly keeping in check her rich but weak domains in the New World. Such are the true and solid advantages which France might have drawn from the possession of Louisiana, advantages which she alone could enjoy because she was the only power in Europe capable of colonizing such a vast and extensive territory, in 1763. The domains of North America were sufficient for England, exhausting its population. Moreover, »n unquiet, dull, restless people, indocile of the. restraint of laws, should not try to settle too strong colonies far away. The spirit of independence develops into license and, like the pelican, the children devour the entrails of their mother.

During two years, Spain seemed to see her weak points and endeavoured to settle Louisiana, but she will not succeed, because she will not understand that the despotic character of her administration, her restrictions of trade, the tyranny of the tribunal of the Inquisition, will inspire strangers with distrust and avertion.

For the present, only a few batteries can be erected, so as to protect the place from a surprise.. It would have been desirable that the bar at Port Toulouse which prevents the entrance of vessels of more than 150 tons burthen did not exist, but, as this port is to be of great usefulness for the fishing trade and the settlement of the Acadians, it is necessary to erect a few batteries there. A garrison, under an adjutant, will be maintained there. As Port Dauphin has many advantages and can be fortified easily, he will make it his principal residence, in company with the general staff and the four companies. May transport the troops there before the arrival of Le Samslack and La Charente. The age and state of health of M. L'Hermitte not permitting him to be as active as is necessary, he will be replaced by M. Berthelot de Beaucours, chief engineer in Canada.

Is persuaded that he had no knowledge of the cruelties which appear to have been committed. Would do well to search out the culprits and make an example. Cannot have too much regard for his prisoners as we are so nobly treated. His compliments to M. Bigot. Folio 311, 1 page. M. du Chambon to Mr. Warren. The report made to him about cruelties committed by Indians and Frenchmen is not correct, at least as far as regards the latter, as no Frenchmen have gone with the Indians in their excursions. It is, however, true that a detachment of Frenchmen who met a party of Indians who had had a brush with the English, found one prisoner in their hands, and they used force to take him away from them. This prisoner was sent to Louisbourg with a few Frenchmen so that he would run no risk. Is ignorant of what happened to them as neither the prisoners nor the Frenchmen have re.iched Louisbourg. May rest assured that he will neglect nothing to stop the cruelties of the Indians. The English prisoners whom he detains are treated the same as the King's subjects. Folio 313, 2 pages. M. du Chambon to M. de la Maisonfort. May feel certain that cruel treatment meted out to English prisoners by Indians were not authorized by him. Learnt only a few days ago what did happen ; the chief of a French party apprised him of it, and it is he who rescued the prisoner from the hands of the Indians and had sent him to the .town under escort. Believes that the prisoner was recaptured by his nation. Will do all he can to prevent the Indians from committing new cruelties, but it is well to remember that those barbarians do not always obey the orders given to them. There were no Frenchmen among the Indian party which perpetrated the acts of cruelty complained of,-and this is to be regretted, as they would not have allowed them. Gives every attention to English prisoners in his power. Folio 315, 2 pages. 'Representations of the inhabitants of Louisbourg to M. Du Chambon.

Have done all in their power to defend the place. Sees clearly that the town cannot be saved. Prays him to capitulate and not wait till the town be captured by force, as this would entail the total loss of whatever property is left them.

They would be severely blamed if they sailed before the inhabitants, for the latter would then be without protection from the insults to which they would be submitted, since they are daily exposed to them from the Boston troops who enter their houses armed to pillage them.

Agrees with him that this conquest is of the highest importance. Is satisfied With the measures taken for the preservation of this conquest, otherwise he would fear that it would be recaptured. Hopes that its preservation will be looked after with the same eagerness as that of Gibraltar and of Port.Mahon. To secure to this con- j quest its value and duration it is expedient to expel the French from Canada, which can be done with the greatest facility. That being done, all the fisheries would be ours, as well as the fur trade, which would permit us to live in perpetual friendship with the Indians. This conquest would ruin the French colonies of the Islands by depriving them of the provisions they obtain from Canada. It would also ruin shipbuilding in France. This conquest would be infinetely more advantageous than that of Mexico or Peru, considering the great number .of artisans who could be employed and the large fortunes which could be made. Those who would discredit the acquisition of Cape Breton on account of its remoteness show a remarkable ignorance and ignore the importance of this island which has been for several years an inexhaustible source of wealth for France. Folio 357, 4 pages. Copy of the letter written by the Sr. Bellefeuille, senior, to M. Hocquart, dated from Pabos, June 9 and 10, 1745.

On the 14th of March 5 or 6 ships only of 20 to 30 guns, soon followed by 11 warships were signalled. On the 11th of May a fleet of 90 to 100 sail was seen approaching Gabarus convoyed by 3 warships, one of 60 guns commanded by-Mr. Warren and 2 of 40 guns. M. du Chamhon sent M. Morpain with 80 men to reinforce the 40 men who were supposed to be there and to oppose the landing of the enemy. This landing was partially accomplished when he arrived, and his troops had to retreat to the woods after losing 5 or 6 men. The enemy landed 6,000 men and at one o'clock in the afternoon they were in .sight near the Royal Battery. M. Thierry who c mmanded there with 200 men thought that it should be abandoned, as it was open behind and at the sides since last year and it was impossible to prevent its capture. The Counoil of War was also of that opinion. Besides, these 200 men were needed to defend the town. He thought, as did several officers, that this battery should be blown up, as, in any case, this would be done by the enemy if they were obliged to raise the siege. Fifteen days before the landing of the enemy, he had the women's and children's ration rtdnced to a quarter of a pound of flour a day and half a pound for the men. Relates the operations of the enemy in bringing their artillery before the town and erecting batteries. Intrenchments thrown up in the town. It was decided, on account of our weakness, not to attempt sorties to disorganize the enemy's operations. Believes, however, that they would have been effective. Have not displayed all the vigour which the courage of the population would warrant on account of the scarcity of powder. Everything was against them : Le Vigilant was captured, and 13 ships at anchor off the port could not put in on account of contrary winds. M. Marin, who was at the Mines with a big party of Canadians, was gone when a despatch was sent him begging him to come to the relief of the town. The walls of the Bastion du Roi et Dauphin, as well as the other walls, were worthless. All the facings were made of round~stones in no way bound together. The inside of these walls was filled with sand only, so that more fell from the shock of our own guns than from the enemy's fire. One single shot completely destroyed the breast-work of the wharf and spur. The engineer, to whom he complained of the weakness of the walls, told him that he had built them to resist to musketry only. Had not believed that the King had been put to so much expense for such a trifling result. To all these causes it must be added that they were about to run out of powder and there were only 1,132 men left to defend the town. Believes, in spite of all this, that if the ships of the Compagnie des Indes had not taken away, some time before, 1,000 sailors, fishermen and servants, the colony would still belong to the King. The enemy intended to make a general attack by land and sea, on the " morrow, and give up the city to pillage. ' This had been promised to the Bos- tonians. Account of the night attack against the fort of Ile de L'Entrée and the defeat of the enemy. Of the 500 men who composed the attacking party, 119 only escaped death by surrendering themselves prisoners. M. DAillebout's gallantry on this occasion, Must relate the brave deed of M. Lavallière 'Beaubassin. Seeing that M. Du Chambon ordered no sortie, whicb, in his opinion, would have been successful, considering the lack of discipline and spirit of the Bostonians, he asked to be allowed to take out 100 men by sea, saying that he would land at Lorembec and would go through the woods to Gabarus to destroy the enemy's stores. Relates CANADIAN ARCHIVES ,5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 this expedition which failed because a deserter of his detachment had warned the enemy. Had to cut his way through an enemy ten times more numerous. Lost 10 or 12 men. The enemy lost 150 men who were buried in M. Boucher's close at Lorembec and counted by the habitans. Some English officers said that 1,200 of their men had been killed during the siege. It is certain that if Le Vigilant had not come, the Bostonians would have raised the siege ; their powder was exhausted and they could receive none from Boston for 15 days. Mr. Warren who saw that the warships which were to join him did not arrive and who feared a French squadron which merchantmen he had captured had announced to him, wanted to return. He "thought that this was a strong squadron which would capture him, burn the transports of the land army and thus compel it to surrender to us. That was told to him by Mr. Warren, but the capture of Le Vigilant quieted the latter. This ship strengthened his squadron and supplied powder to the besiegers until that from Boston arrived. She was captured by 3 English warships, one 60 and two of 40 guns, and two other privateers, one of which had delayed her and driven her to leeward of the port where was the squadron. Had she followed her course, she could have put into port having the weather-gage of the fleet. This ship would have saved the colony for the King by the re- inforcement in men and powder she would have given us. The enemy would even have raised the. siege, thinking us more numerous and better provided with ammunition than we were." Sends him copies of the letters exchanged with the English generals, being his representations to them on their possessing themselves of the hospital furniture, although the capitulation provided that only the munitions and implements of war were to be surrendered. Have also seized upon the provisions. Has given his word of honour that the money in the coffers belonged to individuals, or they would have seized upon it. Could give his word of honor as the King owes triple that amount. Could not obtain from the English generals permission for the inhabitants nor even for the Sœurs de la Congregation to go to Canada.

Had applied to thelatter for permission to marry an Acadian, the daughter of one Guedry dit Paul Grivois and an Acadian Spanish half-breed Anne d'Entremont. This permission was refused and he was forbidden to return to the Baie des Espagnols, Upon his remarks that this interdiction would be prejudical to the interests he had in that place, the Sr. D'Aillebout gave him permission to go, under his word of honour that he would not marry before having the approbation of the Minister and of his family. In spite of this promise, he wrote to his De Caux, commanding officer at Port Dauphin to ask him tç send Sr. chaplain under pretense of assisting one of his brothers seriously ill. This chaplain officiated at the marriage without observing the rules contained in < the King's ordinances. The Sr. de la Noue was put in jail and released, hence the suit to annul his marriage. The certificate of marriage declares that after dispensing with 2 ban*, Father Hyacinthe Lefevre married the Sr. Jules César Félix de la Noue, son of the late high and mighty seigneur "Messire Toussaint Marie de la Noue, knight, Seigneur de Bogard, la ville Norme, St. Hermel and other lands, councillor at the Parliment of Brittany and of Dame Marie Madelaine Prassac, native of the parish of Quaissais, bishopric of St Brieux, and Damoiselle Marguerite Guédry, daughter of Paul Guédry and of noble dame Anne d'Entremont, native of the parish of Ste.

Bad state of the fortifications. Louisbourg, surrounded by heights, was not to be considered as a stronghold. Most of the besieged strongholds are always captured when they are not relieved. The defence was valorous, the soldiers and officers have devoted themselves without murmur and there are no troops who have so well deserved the rewards and favours of the King. Folio 529, 18 pages. Diary of the siege of Louisbourg, not signed, forming 5 books, in which are minutely related day by day, all the events pertaining to it from March 30 until the departure of the garrison for France. In the French squadron, there were only 5 frigates, under command of Comte Des Gouttes, which could land in the harbour of Louisbourg. M. Du Chaffault, who was in command of the main section of the squadron, could not land on account of headwinds. M. Des Gouttes, seeing that the defense was useless, prayed M. de Drucourt to let him lesve the harbour and return to France and thus save his ships from sure ruin. The staff of the garrison having been consulted by M. de Drucourt all were of the opinion that the most important thing was to prolong the resistance, this would be impossible if they were deprived of the troops which were on board of those ships and of the ships themselves.

Diary of the campaign of M. de Boisbéhert from Quebec to Louisbourg and return. He had, as officers : MM. de Catalogne, de Boucherville, de Céry, de St. Simon, with cadets Des Plaines, D'Amours, de Carqueville, Couillard, de La Durantaye. Embarked on the schooner La Critique of 50 tons, with 70 men, from Quebec, the remainder, with M. de Céry, were on board Le St. Joseph, which was escorting L'Oiseau, loaded with the king's supplies for river St. Jean. Arrived at Miramichi June 9, after going through many storms and having his vessels dispersed ; one of them having to put into Quebec. Had only provisions for 20 days which compelled him to put his troops on a short allowance of 4 ounces. Increased his detachment with 70 Acadians and 60 Indians. Sent M. de Niverville to take command at river St. Jean. Did not go to Ile St. Jean, as he proposed, but to Gédaik, for fear the Indians might kill the cattle belonging -to Acadians. Learned that M. de Villejoin had sent a detachment of 100 Acadians, commanded by his son. Arrived June 26 at Canseau passage, the 28 at Port Toulouse and July 1 at Miré where he met M. de Villejoin with a detachment of 200 men very badly provided with necessaries. Was obliged to abandon 100 men because they had no shoes. Narration of his skirmishes with the enemy and his return to Miramichi after the capitulation. Sickness increased so much that in 8 days he had 60 patients afflicted with anthrax, which frightened the Indians, so much that they all deserted. Made an attack upon an English detachment at Petitcodiac which though stronger than his was obliged to retreat. Lost 15 men during the action. Arrived at Miramichi August 8. Found that post without food. Learned of the victory at Carillon. On the 11th a schooner loaded with beef arrived which enabled him to revictual so as to join M. de Niverville at river St. Jean.

Left Miramichi on the 13th leaving M. de Catalogne in command. MM. de la Boularderie and de Montarville remained also because they were too sick to venture the campaign. Folio 607, 12 pages.

Iles de Breugnon, Cher de Lorgerie. Dudresnay, Desroches, Chev. de Tourville. Folio 616, 1£ pages. Answer from M. de Drucourt. The Minister has ^always told him that his | vessels were purposely for the defense of Louisbourg. It is clear that their departure would show our weakness. To sail to-night would mean introducing the enemy to morrow. Thinks that being doomed to the same fate, it is proper to run the same risks. Their orders to this effect being the same, thinks that they must not hesitate. Folio 6164, 1 page. Representations of the cap taius commanding the King's vessels at anchor at Louisbourg. The enemy having unmasked a battery of 10 to 11 mortars both on the side of Ross Point and behind the rocks leading towards the beacon and being thereby much exposed to the enemy's fire have inquired from M. de Drucourt with M.

Further representations War to decide what course from M- Desgouttes to have a Council of he isto take with regard to his fleet. The only service his has rendered, that he can see, is having prevented the enemy from entering the port. Begs the council to consider the loss of five vessels. They might be destroyed by shells, and then where would he lodge his troops, neither can he see how they could feed them if the loss of his vessels entails the loss of his provisions. His services can only be of small utility. Would be bappy to learn how to be really useful, otherwise he wants to leave. The Court has not forseen the strange situation he is in. If so desired he is ready to sink vessels so as to block the entrance to the port. Folio 622£, 3 pages. The Council persist in their first decision. Folio 824, 4 page. Representations from M. Desgouttes. To comply with the wishes of the council of war, but very much against his will, he has sunk vessels so as to obstruct the entrance to the port ; his crews have been withdrawn from his vessels in order to join the land forces. Has called a meeting of his captains, and they were of opinion that unable to keep the powder in their vessels they should be considered as dismantled, and in consequence they would employ their troops in the town, being resolved not to burn nor sink their vessels but as a last resource, they could always go on board, if necessary, to defend the fortress. Folio 6244, 5 pages. Answer of M. de Drucourt. If he has repeated his entreaties it is because 2 Councils of War were of the. same opinion. Has adopted his reasons for getting his vessels nearer to the town. As he has reason to fear that they might be destroyed by shells, he has done well to take out his powder, and the same thing may be said of his stores. Folio 626J, 2 pages.

Movements given to his vessels. His vessels were evacuated only to work in accordance with him, and it was the best thing to do, since the enemy fire red hot shot, and by acting otherwise he would have lost a great many lives. To delay that operation, as he desires would be to revoke orders repeatedly given, and show much indecision. Ha will leave as many men as he thinks proper, to guard the vessels but the more men left on board, so many less will remain to defend the fortress.

Repeats his remarks on that subject. Will himself do all he can to make that operation practicable. Folio 631, 14 pages. Representations from M. Desgouttes to M. de Drucourt. His captains are all of the opinion that it is better to burn the vessels than to expose them to capture. They are too much damaged to be able to come out and escape. Requests him to advise when it will be expedient to bum the vessels. If we wait till the enemy call upon us to surrender, he will exact, as prime condition, that the vessels be and then it will be too late to burn them without their mercy. Folio 632, 3 pages.

Memorandum, not signed, relating to the abuses of authority of M. Frontenac. It was to remedy the trouble that M. D'Avaugort had causer to the order which he had found in Canada that, under complaints made t the King, His Majesty instituted, by his edict of 1663, a Supreme Counci at Quebec. M. de Frontenac, on his private authority, made innovations or posed to the-spirit and letter of-this institution. He appointed électif aldermen whom he made police magistrates ; he appointed some councillor; without consulting the Bishop ; alone, he regulated the expenditure of pub lie funds and trade with the Indians : in all the by-laws of the council, hi gave himself as high and powerful. Seigneur and as Monseigneur. He pre| tended that the ordinance of 1667 did not affect him; that one could no decline his judgements or blame him in civil or criminal matters. On accouni of the distance, there seemed to be less inconvenience in allowing his usurpa tions than to be exposed to his threats and severities. Under his Déclarai tionof 1675, confirmatory of the edict of 1663, the King modified his power and extended those of the council. In spite of this plain declaration, M de Frontenac has not changed his pretensions. Amongst other misuses o: authority, he has given the Governor of Montreal orders to have the bailii of this town arrested because, complying with the. orders of the Supremi • Council, he executed the rulings which were made; that, exasperatec at the appeal of the judge on that account, he had him imprisoned that, having called him to the Chateau, he was sentenced to beg pardoi of the Governor of Montreal before six witnesses, and pay a fine of 120 livres; that this judge was kept in jail for two months and was dischargee only when his fine was paid.

M. de Charny having asked M. de Frontenac the reason of his refusal to enter on the registers the deliberations of the Council, he got int< a jury and said to the whole Council : " I dismiss you, go out : I do not " suspend you only, but I dismiss you, go away from here" threatening "them with injurious words, a stick in his hand, and looking at the | registrar and the Sr. Bourdon, Procureur General, he said : " I dismiss " you also." M. Bourdon retorted : " As to me Sir, I must not consider " myself as dismissed ; the decree of the establishment of the Counci " does not enact that I may be removed : I ask you, if you please, that " it should be read." Hearing this M. de Frontenac rose up from his " chair, took M. Bourdon by thethroat and pulled him out of his place by " force, hit him on the head with his stick, drew out his sword, and hit 1 him many times, when the Srs. D'Amaurs and D'Auteuil covered him " thus enabling the said Bourdon to retire. He went out. M. de Fron- " tenac followed him outside, hit him again many times with his stick and " with the flat side of his sword and wounded one of his hands, saying : " I " will kill you."

PROVIDING SUBSTITUTES FOR MILITARY OFFICERS.—LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. The death of the Baron de Longueuil in 1755, has created a vacancy in the government of Montreal. The Marquis de Vaudreuil had proposed, to fill that vacancy, the Sr. Rigaud de Vaudreuil his brother, who has enjoyed, for several years the government of Three Rivers, and who, according to the natural course of service in Canada, succeeds to that of Montreal. It was thought proper to represent to His Majesty that the details of the government of Montreal required, in time of war as in time of peace, an officer who possessed a certain amount of information, as well for the negotiations with the Indians as for all the movements which may be made on the frontier ; that the Sr. Rigaud de Vaudreuil, who had proved very zealous, who had even distinguished himself on several occasions by his courage, and who, besides shared the consideration which his family had hThis note appears in the copy, but there is no means, at the present moment, of ascertaining vhether it is part of the document or a memorandum of the copyist. 1757. Mayl. 516 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 1757. enjoyed for 'such a long time in Canada, did not appear to be qualified to take charge of the government of Montreal, and that it appeared expedient to seize this occasion to place at the head of this government one of the young post captains who might thereby fit themselves to become governor general when the Marquis de Vaudreuill left. His Majesty was impressed with those ideas, but His Majesty was of opinion that, before coming to a final decision, it would be well to communicate them to M. de Vaudreuil himself, which was done with all due deference. From his answer on that subject, he acknowledges naturally and honestly that his brother has not all the qualifications essential in a Governor General. At the same time he represents that the local governors of Canada have always been appointed from the officers of the colony and that they would be disgusted at the appointment of strange officers. He observes, especially, with regard to his brother, that it is so much more necessary during the war that he should have the full confidence of the Canadians and of the Indians. He cites, for instance, the expedition of Choueguen, which success he attributes to the use that his brother made of that confidence. He adds that if His Majesty decides to send a naval officer as governor of Montreal it would be imperative to retire his brother, and in that case, he humbly begs His Majesty to grant him a sufficient subsistence, as he has no means of his own. Now, the question is this, does His Majesty intend to follow the siigges" tions submitted to him at first, or will he think proper to accede to the representations of M. de Vaudreuil and give the government of Montreal to his brother, and retire him when the war is over. In the first case it seems just to treat the Sr. Rigaud.de Vaudreuil, "who will have to rely on His Majesty's good will and to whom he is principally indebted for the capture of Chouegen, as His Majesty was informed at the time favorably. And secondly, there would be nothing to fear for the general government of the colony supposing that the Marquis de Vaudreuil would fail whilst his brother is Governor of Montreal, since by letters patent transmitted last year, this command is- given to the Marquis de Montcalm, an agreement that is kept secret, the letters patent being enclosed in a packet entrusted to the care of the Intendant and which is to_be opened only in the case of the death of the Marquis de Vaudreuil.

Dumas : " It seems proper to do something extra for M. Dumas in addition to the pension of 1200 livres allowed to him, and which will remain to be paid out of the funds of the colonies. He is a distinguished officer who knows the military service and who would have been able to reform discipline in Canada if he had been in command there. He was in command in the action of General Braddock, and he also distinguished himself in the battle before Quebeo where the Marquis de Montcalm was killed, and where he several times repulsed the enemy to protect the retreat of the others."

His greatest desire is the discovery of that country which will undoubtedly help to find a way to Mexico. Permits him to follow that undertaking, to construct forts wherever he judges necessary, on the same. footing and conditions as those granted to Frontenac whose letters patent of the 13th May 1675, he confirms, on condition that he achieves that undertaking within 5 years, that he will not trade with the Ottawa Indians and others who bring their furs to Montreal, that he and his company, to which the King has granted the monopoly of the fur trade of Cibola, will defray all expenses.

The discovery and establishment of Louisiana have rejoiced Canada, but as it has been represented to him in several memoirs, " this establishment will be the ruination of Canada through the desertion of its best men and of all its young people who, without hope of- a better fate, have commenced to abandon their relatives, for a change and to go to the said establishment, especially the libertines and coureurs de bois who, forgetting their creditors in Quebec and Montreal have taken all their beaver skins and other furs to M. D'Iberville who has begun to welcome them with their said beavers to the detriment of the colony of Canada, which will'lose not only its property but also its most alert youths." Prays that he will so order that M. D'Iberville will no longer buy, neither by himself nor by his servants, any beavers or furs other than those traded in in Canada. Folio 29, 2 pages. Memorandum from the Quebec Seminary for the missionaries that are in Louisiana, and whom they have to support on the 3,000 livres given yearly by the1 King to that seminary The sum of 3,000 livres given by the King to the seminary to support missionaries at Louisiana would suffice were it paid in cash, but, as it is otherwise and a depreciation takes place, it results that the seminary receives after all but one-half of that sum, and this is quite insufficient to maintain several missionaries in a country which imports so largely and where the necessities of life cost so much. So long as thp colony was worked and managed on behalf of the King, we could rely on the free entry of some tons of merchandise with which the missionaries provided for their wants by exchanges with the Indians ; now that this work belongs to M. Crozat's company, we cannot rely on such a favour. The want of means of support will perhaps lead the missionaries to accept furs in exchange to increase their supplies, and this will cause complaints that are to be avoided. Hopes that the King will remedy that state of things. Folio 33, 4 pages. Memorandum respecting the missionaries who are near the French in Louisiana. In the same sense. Folio 37, 3 pages.

D'Iberville to the Minister. Has rendered an account of his voyage from La Rochelle to the Cap Français. Arrived at the Baie de Biloxi on the 8th January. Next day the Sr. de Sannalli came on board and informed him that an English corvette of 12 guns, commanded by Captain Bank, had entered the river Mississippi about the end of September. His brother, de Bienville, went to tell him that if he did not retire, he would compel him to do so. The captain put out to sea. He learnt from him that he had left London in October, 1688 (?) for the purpose of settling the Mississippi, that he had put back to Carolina from whence he had started with 2 vessels, one of 24 guns, the other of 12 to explore the mouth of the Mississippi, but misled by erroneous information he had found no harbour till 80 leagues further west, at a place where a Spanish settlement existed. That in retracing his route, he had found the mouth of the Mississippi, but only the smallest of his vessels could enter. He declared to M. de Bienville that he would come back with vessels capable of entering the river for the purpose of making a settlement, as the English, had taken possession of that river over 50 years previously. There are many English with the Chicachas where they trade. Account of his explorations in the country with de Tonty and his Canadians. Folio 225, 16 pages. M. Juchereau de St. Denis to the Minister.

Folio 241, 1 page. The Sr. Andrez Riola to M. D'Iberville. Before answering his letter of the 13th, he is obliged to advise him of two things. The first, that the Scotch who came in the Dariel to settle and fortify themselves here without orders from their King, have retired upon summons when they learnt that a Spanish squadron was coming to expel them. The second • thing that he desires to inform him is, that in the month of April of last year, 5 war vessels belonging to the King of Spain had entered the Gulf of Mexico, which belongs to the King of Spain ; that those who were on board those vessels landed and began constructing dwellings and entrench-. ing themselves. Had at first believed that these vessels were English, seeing that M. le Marquis de Chateaumorand. commandant of a squadron, has assured him that he came on these coasts for the sole purpose of hunting certain Oanadois (sic) who had come to seek a shelter on these coasts, and once that mission accomplished he would return to France. On this declaration, the Comte de Montezuma, Viceroy of New Spain, had sent him to reconnoitre the coast, ' and he was not a little surprised to see some French settled where he expected to see English, and that they came from the squadron, of M. de Chateaumorand himself. Feels obliged to protest against such an undertaking. As to his offer to aid him in preventing the English from carrying out their plan of taking possession of the river St. Esprit, he thanks him for that favour without accepting it, however, because he does not believe that he needs it for the present.

Hopes that after having examined them he will take the best steps in Spain's interest to which he gives his most particular attention. Folio 325, 2 pages. Sequel to the Memorandum of M. Iberville respecting Florida. Spain must beware the weakness of her position in Florida. She has, we mighty say, only St. Augustine to support her, which is very little compared with the English who occupy the neighbourhood, have strong settlements and draw to themselves all the Indians through their trade. Let them capture St. Augustine and then with 50 or 60 brigantines they will be able to form a body of 6,000 Indian warriors who within 24 hours will be before Cuba. This event may be regarded as yet distant, but it will happen for the simple reason that it is possible and easy with the help they could obtain from the Bahamas and Jamaica. Whatever may be said against our enterprise at Mobile, it is in the interest of Spain even since it will serve to keep the English on this side. At the most, if this colony is developed as it should be, it will serve both as a support to our colonies of the West Indies, and at the same time permit us if need be, to ruin the English colonies or at least to relieve Canada and Acadia by forcing the English to divide their forces.

D'Iberville respecting the English colonies of North America, and the means of checking their attempts at extension. The population of these colonies consists of 60,000 families. England employs 600 vessels in her trade with her colonies of America, and those colonies employ as many vessels. They have until now been kept south of the mountain range starting from Carolina and extending towards the north-east of the continent, the English settlers will soon cross those mountains. Many do so already. Last year a good number left Carolina and Virginia to settle in Akansas, by way of the Wabash and Mississippi. Those who have settled near the Chicachas have supplied them with arms, and together they make raids unto the neighbouring nations, taking prisoners which they sell as slaves at the Islands, if they are adults, and in the adjoining colonies if they are not. Ordinarily they sell them for 3 to 400 livres. They claim that it is not most important to make sure of sea ports, considering that the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico are submerged, that the lands are sandy and dry, but of the interior where the lands are fertile ; that it will be always time, when the interior is peopled, to secure of the coasts. In order to thwart those plans, it behoves us to settle permanently at the Mississippi, the Mobile and Illinois, whilst it is not yet too late. * The Spaniards will do nothing in that sense, their efforts being made exclusively for the discovery and the working of mines, so that we must either enter into negotiations with them, or drop them altogether.

Has received the letter by which he is requested to stop the settlement he is founding by order of the King at the Mobile, and to supply him with a vessel so as 524 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 190 1702. to give notioe thereof to the Viceroy of Mexico. Will willingly lend hii a vessel if he provides a pilot, for he has none who knows the coast of Ver Cruz, but, as he has only a limited time for the projected works at Mobile he cannot stop them. The King of France has nothing else in view in tha settlement but the joint interest of the two crowns in opposing the effort of the English to subjugate or destroy all the Indian nations of the interio who are friends or allies of France and Spain. The weakness of thi Spanish settlements at those places would render this fate inevitable, foi that reason the King of France is obliged to take steps to protect hi; interests. Is ready to take measures to act conjointly with him in order tes foil the plans of the English. Folio 357, 34, pages. January 1. Letter from the Governor of Pensecola to M. D'Iberville. (In Spanish.) M. DTbervile to the Minister. Desires to have a grant of land on the river of Mobile, erected as a county bearing his name. In the margin, by the Minister, "good, when it will be worth doing." Folio 363, \ page.' On the articles of M. D'Iberville concerning the Mississippi and the Mobile, sent back by Monseigneur de Pontchartrain to M. de Champigny.j There is no reason to believe that M. D'Iberville can accomplish his suggestion to draw together the Illinois and the Sioux of the lower Mississippi,! and even if it were possible it shpuld not be done, because Canada would thus be deprived to a large extent of its trade. It is not surprising that: M. D'Iberville should propose Le Sueur for that mission, for that man has married his first cousin and he is one of the most zealous traders inj the woods, a business he has carried on for the last 14 years, at first under! the pretense of stopping the war between the Foxes and other nations, a mission repeated several times that has had no other result than to bring i him many beavers, and secondly, under the pretense of discovering mines. ! MM. de Callières and de Champigny are convinced that that individual has i never had other interest than trade. It is somewhat surprising to hear j M. D'Iberville say that there are no more lands left for settlement in Can-1 ada ; on the contrary, there are enough lands to settle whole monarchies, I however, we cannot prevent Canadians from settling at the Mississippi, but it will be well to take measures to prevent them from trading en passant. If it were possible to restrict the Srs. Juchereau and Le Sueur to their tanneries and mines, probably they would give it up, so true is it that those establishments are nothing but pretenses. It would be more judicious to amnisty the coureurs de bois than to allow them to be received at the Mississippi. If guns were exchanged for beavers on the side of the Mississippi it would be the means of increasing the mass of beavers which are already too large, and it would be the ruin of Canada which is not in a condition to buy them.

Relieves that the Sr. Le Sueur is able to fill the office of Lieutenant General of Justice at the Mississippi. Before making any advance near the Scioux, it should be agreed whether they would depend on Canada or on Louisiana. The views held about Canada on that subject are so at variance with his own that he does not believe that anything should be proposed now to those Indians by the way of the Mississippi, for it is intimated that they are not to listen to anything coming from the people of the lower Mississippi- There is so much prejudice in Canada against himself and those who are ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES Sessional paper No. 18 1703. iobile. lav 20. 1703. ris.

Requests him to demand a memorandum from MM. de Riverin and de Champigny in which they would expose their complaints concerning him, after which he would answer it. The insidious language held against him induces him to ask to be relieved from the command in chief of Louisiana, considering that the interests of his brothers and his Canadian friends suffer therefrom. Last year his brother de Maricourt, negotiated peace with the Iroquois. Meantime in spite of the high importance of this service, he is hardly mentioned in ordinary and private letters of the authorities. His brothers complain of the annoyances he causes them. Has received from Vera Cruz a letter from M. de Becancour whom he had sent there to get provisions for the Pensacola garrison and also for Mobile. He says' that he is only allowed to bring oxen and rams, but no cows nor wethers. Folio 379, 8 pages. M. de la Salle to the same. Had informed,him that he had sent a vessel to Vera Cruz, both to give notice that the fort of St. Augustine was besieged and that the Governor of that fort was asking help, to obtain provisions in exchange for those he had procured from that Governor. Everything is very dear in the ports of New Spain, and the fishing vessel has all it can do to provision the garrison pending the arrival of vessels from France. The English do all in their power to draw to them the nation of the Chicachas who are a terror to all the others. They hardly like to do it as they are already allied to the French. They often come to see us, but as we have nothing left to give them, they have ceased their visits, and it is to be feared that they will allow themselves to be seduced by the English. It is urgent to send merchandise by the next vessels. Folio 387, 10 pages. Father Goiiye to the same. Father DuRu is determined to leave on the first vessel for the Mississippi. Hopes he will be satisfied with him. He is very intelligent, has much courage and is very virtuous, still he has a little temper which virtue will cure. The Bishop of Quebec is in Paris since 8 days. Believes that it is expedient to settle the question of vicariat as proposed by him, otherwise the position would be untenable. The conduct of the grand vicars at Illinois convinces him more than ever of the necessity of the grand vicariat, and of the division of the district without mixture of the several kinds of missionaries. If things cannot be settled so, Father DuRu is authorized to return to France with his brethren, or go to Canada or to the Islands, leaving thé Mississippi to the first comer. Folio 397, 5 pages. The same to the same. Thankful for having granted him all he has asked, but greatly fears that the disposition in which he found the Bishop : of Quebec will prevent Father DuRu from leaving. He has declared to the latter and to Father de Lamberville, that he would never consent to the grand vicariat he had proposed, and that he would never take a Jesuit for his grand vicar, even though the court should grant a district where there would be no other missionaries than those of their Order. I paid him a visit last Monday ; he repeated the same thing with several others it is useless to enumerate. Our Father Provincial, being informed of his sentiments, assembled, on Tuesday, what we call at home the Council of the Province. All the councillors were of the opinion that since M. de Kébec entertained those sentiments it was useless to think of the mission to the Mississippi, that an employment would be given to Father DuRu, that they would immediately recall Father Dongé, who was acting as Chaplain at Mobile where M. D'Iberville could have the Chaplain of the vessel on board of which M. de Bouteville was to return, that Father Dongé could remain at the Islands or at San Domingo, that Father de Limoges would go to the old missions of Canada. When I heard the result of the council, CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 19( I represented that I could do nothing in the case sent, they answered that was the intention of vineiai and of the council. In consequence I pray to find it good. M. de Kébec is still under the without your co the Father Pr you, Mônseigneu impression that n desire that settlement. You know how it happened that I had the honor to speak of it to you. He said to me that if we were not already at tb Mississippi, we could impose what conditions we pleased, but once then we were no longer masters. This reasoning is very consoling. The Fathe Provincial went to see him yesterday afternoon, with the view of making hii listen to reason. Having failed in this, he informed him of the stand w| were taking. I went there this morning, and obtained nothing. I insiste a little on this affair, because if Father Du Ru has to go it must be at th beginning of next week, and if he starts before obtaining from M. de Kebe what is absolutely necessary for the well-being of that mission, we shaï never obtain anything from him, in which case we will be obliged for ; thousand good reasons to abandon what has caused us much labour and ex' pense to begin. I said to M. de Kebec, most respectfully but at the sam< time as strongly as possible, that since Louisiana and the lower Mississippi were in his diocese, thus covering more than eighteen hundred leagues froir one end to the other, he should have been the first to congratulate and encourage us in taking care of a people with whose instruction anc conversion he was charged ; that he was the one to act at Court for thai settlement ; that he should even give us some of his revenues to enable us to work in a country for which he was responsible before God ; that we; had forewarned him that we asked nothing from him but the means oi working in peace and usefully ; that he knew the Jesuits to be very docile in the bands of their bishops ; that by demanding the Mississippi we were not open to the same reproaches as were used so unjustly to our missionaries in India et China ; that I would proclaim everywhere that he did not want us." At these words he got a little excited, even got angry absit verbo injuria. I was little short of getting angry too. We at once calmed down. . He was pleased to embrace me and treat me with kindness. We recommenced talking very quietly, and, I dare say, very amicably : " So Monseigneur, you are unwilling to give the Jesuits a district in which they would work alone, without some other missionaries, either regular or secular coming in without an express order of the Court or without being called thereto in case of need by the said people for as long a time as these people will judge convenientto retain them" "Thisdoes not depend on me," he answered, | it belongs to the Court to give you this district, and I give my word that I will never send anybody there :—" " Will not Your Grace agree that that Jesuit who is the superior of others in this district be his grand vicar born, it being understood that when he is no longer agreeable to Your Grace, another one would be put in his stead, but in such a way that it. would always be a Jesuit?" explained to him the reason why I demanded that grand vicariat— As for that, he said, never will I consent to ii never will I grant it, never will I take a J esuit for my grand vica Though I divest myself of my authority, I would preferr being ordered, but they will not order me. I will not enter into conflict with two bodies so considerable in the Church of God : that of the Foreign Missions and that of the Jesuits. I cannot create a grand vicariat attached to our order, and I do not wish to appoint a Jesuit grand vicar, even though there were none but Jesuits under him." I brought to bear many reasons and examples to show that he could and should do it, but these reasons did not seem to convince him, and they did not impress him. He fears the gentlemen of the Rue du Bac and still more those who protect them ; he told me so too clearly to doubt it —" All I can do," he said, " is that when the Court has given you a district, and ordered that you will be the sole ones, ORDERS OF THE KING AND DESPATCHES 527 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 I will promise that I will not give authority over you to any gentleman of i the Foreign Missions, but I will not put anything in writing." Seeing me smile." Do you doubt me," said he, also laughing. " Not much, monseigneur; an attorney wants deeds and fears the word which crosses the sea : the winds, the seas, tha forests create great revolutions in wills as well as in bodies." But after that word, that I suppose inevitable(?) he will call a secular priest with the title of grand vicar, an Archdeacon, that is. — Be so good Monseigner, that we should keep to what the Father Provincial had the honour to say to you. M. de Kébec has wished that I should give you an account of our consultation and of the things which he is writing to bind himself, and which we do not care. I am really sorry because I know that we have that settlement at heart, and I am satisfied that a mission of our company, such as I had the honour to propose, would have been very useful for the salvation of the Indians and for the well-being of that young colony, but the way M. de Kébec takes it, who ill knows his own interests, it would be an everlasting cause of law-suits and disagreements for the missionaries and for me. I beg of you, Monseigneur, through your former kindness towards me, to accept the result of our Council. I will await your orders, unless you think proper that I should wait for them elsewhere, I am etc. Folio 397, 9 pages. 1701. Extracts from the proceedings of the war Council of the Indies and from the memoirs of M. de Pontchartrain and M. D'Iberville who brought it about. M. de Blécourt has transmitted to His Majesty the letter written by M. de Pontchartrain to the Due d'Harcourt, together with a memoir and map drawn by M. D'Iberville concerning the Mississippi and the designs of the English. He holds that Pensacola or Ste. Marie de Galbe, is not situated so as to resist an attack nor to be the nucleus of a colony, that considering the sentiments of the French at Mobile and on the Mississippi, their relations of friendship and trade with the Indians of the interior, the Spaniards would do better to cede Pensacola to the French.

Vol. 2. Unsigned memorandum on the advantages France would derive from the possession of Baie du St. Esprit. Twenty-five years ago the Spaniards had projected a settlement there. It would be easy to attract there the French settled in the Carolina. The Indians of these regions have a deep hatred for the Spaniards and a liking for the French. The inhabitants of Vera Cruz fear that the French will take hold of that bay, for they know its advantages. The Spaniards, it is true, are powerful and look upon us as enemies, but the weakness and corruption of the rulers render that undertaking easy, for the governors begin by putting all their goods in their offices and they cannot resist the temptation of the traders who offer them presents. MM. de Beaujeu and de la Salle have made a mistake in their sailing and have missed the Mississippi channel, because they have not reckoned enough with the latitude. The Spaniards have already passed through that channel with their galleys. Has obtained this information from a merchant of Constance named François Encognard, who has made several trips with the Spaniards to Peru and Mexico. He is angry against the Spaniards who have deprived him of a large sum of money under divers pretenses. He is a brother to M. Moissionmer, a captain in the Dauphin regiment. Folio 1, 3 pages. Unsigned memorandum, giving the King an account of the discovery of the Mississippi. It was in 1684 that M. de la Salle, who had visited the greater part of North America, brought to M. de Seignelay the relation of the discovery of the Mississippi. M. de Seignelay, having apprised the King of that discovery, a man-of-war commanded by M. de Beaujeu, and a storeshiD, were sent there in 1684. M. de la Salle took passage with M. de Beaujeu, accompanied by thejjeople he had engaged and who were to settle in that country with him. Narrative of that expedition and of the death of M. de la Salle. The survivors turned their steps towards Canada and arrived at Lake Frontenac in July 1688, having been 15 months on the march. The war which broke out in Europe prevented this discovery from being utilised. The war over, a company was formed in London for the purpose of forming a settlement at the Mississippi, composed of French -51* 536 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 1699. Rochefort. May 5. ■September 1. 1702.

They left Sai Domingo all together, and reached the Florida coast where they found th Spaniards in possession since the preceding month of October in the Bay o Pensacola.

Journal of my campaign on the " Formidable," commanded by Monsieur Dubois de la Mothe, Lieutenant General in 1757. We came to anchor to-day, Thursday April 21st 1757 at 4 P.M. with a "W.N.W. wind, rather fresh. M. Dachée, in command of the Zodiaque and the Indian expedition, was anchored there, also the squadron of M. dAubigny, composed of the following vessels: Le duc de Bourgogne, M. d'Aubigny ; Le Héros, M. Dechateloger : Le Glorieux, M. de Chavagnac ; Le Dauphin Royal, M. Durtebie ; Le Bizarre, M. de Montalis ; Le Superbe, M. de Choiseul ; Le Belliqueux, M. d'Orvil ier ; Le Célèbre, M. de la Jonquière ; the frigates La Fleur-de-Lys, M. de Tourville ; L'Sermione, M. Dubos. M. Dubois de la Mothe assumed no particular command on this squadron and only hoisted a simple pennant on his own vessel. Friday, 29th Tuesday, May 3rd.—Light wind E.N.E. We weighed anchor and heaved short at noon. M. Dubois de la Mothe flew a pennant of order and declared himself in command of the squadron of M. d'Aubigny ; he signalled all the vessels and gave the necessary orders for the campaign ; at one o'clock we all hoisted sail, there being very little wind ; at 3.30, when abreast of Berthaume, we lay to and drew aboard our boats ; at 5 o'clock the squadron composed of 9 ships of the line, 2 frigates, set sail ; 2 merchantmen, one of which carries troops to Canada and the other goes to the fisheries at Newfoundland, asked permission to follow us. About half past six we saw 11 vessels to the N.W. They did not all seem to be following the same route, we took them for neutrals, many of them appearing to have only one mast. Wednesday, 4 Monday, 20th June.—Weather calm until 4 o'clock when the. wind freshened from the S.W. ; steered S.E. and noticed Gunflint Island N.W. \ W. by the compass, and the Eastern extremity of Scatarry Island S.W. ^ W. 2£ leagues distant ; we were carried south by currents during the night ; at 7.30 o'clock, took the larboard tack ;. the two vessels of last evening were running on the starboard ; they seemed to be large ones ; the wind is fresher ; we sail west ; at 11 o'clock Portenove and Louisbourg were seen from the mast-head ; we were making good speed ; when we arrived about J a league from the town we came around W. \ N.W. and then W.N.W. By 3 o'clock we anchored in the roadstead of Louisbourg near the entrance of the channel, the winds being too strong to allow us go to further in. As the sky was becoming overcast, the ships entered in a great hurry without accident. A fog came down suddenly and prevented Le Glorieux from getting in ; it was not more than half a league off. We found in the roadsteadjthe squadron of M. de Beaufremont coming from San Domingo composed of the following vessels : Le Tonnant, commanded by M. le chevalier de Beaufremont, commander of the squadron ; Le Défenseur, Mr. deBlénac, Vice Admiral ; Le Diadème, M. de Rosilly, captain ; L'Eveillé, M. de Merville, captain ; L'Inflexible, M. de St. Laurent de Sartres, captain ; La Brume, a frigate, M. de la Prévalaye, captain. This squadron had arrived on the 31st of May ; there were also 3 vessels from Toulon that had arrived yesterday, L'Hector, commanded by M. du Reveste, captain ; L'Achille, M. 18—59|* wis* CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 de Pamot, captain ; Le Sage, M. Dabon, captain ; Le Vaillant, commanded by M. de Saurim, captain, which formed part of that squadron, were separated from it just before its arrival ; it is likely that it was that ship we saw outside with the frigate L'Abénaqué, commanded by M. de Macarty, which had been sent to meet this vessel ; there was also in that harbour the frigate, La Comète, M. de Brugnon, captain I the Kind's transport La Fortune and two merchant ships bound for Quebec. We had hoisted the flag of vice-admiral before entering, and when we cast anchor M. de Beaufremont hoisted that of lieutenant general. M. de Blénac and M. d'Aubigny hoisted their pennants ; we towed ourselves in three or four cable lengths to pass the night, and then moored across with two anchor cables. Tuesday 21st.—We towed ourselves further in, and dropped the port anchor to the south west in a depth of ten fathoms ; bottom muddy, the great cable to N. E., in 10 fathoms, muddy bottom ; we have backed -the anchor to S. W. The main cable was N. E., causing us to face the S. E. winds which are the most to be feared. All day long we had a very thick, fog ; Le Glorieux was not far off, we often heard cannon shots ; took the bearing of the flag staff of the Royal Battery, north west; the light house tower 4 degrees north, the parish church S. W. Wednesday 22nd.—Winds from the S. W. fair enough. Le Glorieux anchored at 2.30 ;• we were 17 ships, 2 frigates and one transport in the large harbour, it is true that we were in pretty close quarters ; La Comète was alone the only one at the careening place ; orders were given Le Sage and Le Belliqueux to enter. Saturday 25th.—Le Vaillant and L'Abénaqui and L'Hermione came in the morning, so that now the number is complete if intended to serve under M. Dubois de la Mothe ; on all the vessels efforts were made to put the sick aéhore and place them in houses outside the town, these being numerous enough for a considerable number of invalids. Wednesday 29th.—La Comète left this morning with a wind 4 N. to cruise in the direction of Canceau. Saturday July 2nd.—Le Bizarre, Le Célèbre, the transport La Fortune, and three merchant ships, left this morning with a N. W. wind, which afterwards shifted to S.W. to transport to Quebec the two battalions of the Berry Regiment which had arrived here on the squadron of M. Dubois de la Mothe. Tuesday 5th.—S. W. wind, this afternoon there left here 4 vessels, 2 small privateers of 10 cannons, one vessel for France and one for St. Domingo. Wednesday 6th.—One schooner left for France ; wind S. W. ; 2 Indians and one Acadian, who had been sent by M. de Beaufremont to Halifax to ascertain what was going on there, returned to-day with a young Englishman captured by them in the woods near the town. The Acadian, a man of good sense, reports that he saw in the harbour two 50 gun ships, one of them L'Arc-en-ciel, and also two frigates of 20 guns each ; the young Englishman seemed to speak strait forwardly, saying he wished to take service with us, and he declared that preparations were being made at Halifax for the siege of Louisbourg, that all the garrison were making fascines and gabions, that a convoy of 14 vessels had left a few days before, being, he says, King's ships, but they can only be small ones, to go to Boston and take 2,000 militiamen with General Loudon in command of all the troops in that region, and that they had a conference ' with Hopson who is in charge of the expedition ; he says they were daily expecting the arrival of the convoy from old England ; that a frigate which arrived recently reported having left it 150 leagues at sea ; that the convoy in question was composed of 14 men of war and 70 transports ; this deposition tallies with many things of which we already had an idea, which leads us to regard it as truthful. On the 1st July, as the Acadian and the 2 Indians were on their way back, and at a distance of 3 or 4 leagues from Halifax, they heard many reports of cannon ; salutes were being fired by way of rejoicing, from which they and also the prisoner, infer that it was on account of the arrival of the squadron. Thursday 7th-—La Fleur-de-lys, left this morning to cruise around North Cape; with her, left a small vessel which she is to escort to Port Dauphin ; the winds Were changeable, from W. to S., saw a vessel during the afternoon ; it was not acting at all suspiciously and may have been one that did not know the coast. LE FORMIDABLE 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Sunday 10th.—La Favorite, from Granville, dropped anchor this morning in this roadstead, laden with 10 days, provisions for 8 vessels of the squadron; she had left Rochefort on the 20th of May with 2 other ships carrying supplies for the squadron, and 11 for Canada. There were on board that vessel some provisions for the colony. La Comète, returned this evening without having seen anything during her cruise, it was she that came in sight on the evening of the 7th, she spoke a dogger coming from France which was not able to enter with her. Wind S. W. Monday 11th.—The dogger which was visible yesterday is at anchor this morning ; she had left Rochefort on the 6th of April with 600 barrels of flour and other supplies for the colony ; there were 3 vessels with similar cargoes, we have no news of the 2 others. Wind S. W. Tuesday 12th.—We raised our two anchors to take a position more north ; there would be two ships of us to fight the channel in case the English made their appearance; we anchored mooring across N. E., S. E. and S. W. 5 W ; the first anchor in 10 fathoms, \ the second in 11 ; sand and mud ; took the bearing of the light house tower, E£ S. E. 5 S. ; the parish Church ; S. W. and 2 S. ; wind S. W. A vessel left for La RocheUe ; saw a ship this evening, manoeuvring as if trying to reconnoitre the land. Wednesday 13th.—At 8.30 Le Phaeton, from La RocheUe anchored in the roadstead ; she had left Rochefort with La Favorite the 20th May, with 19 days' supplies for 8 vessels, and provisions for the colony ; it was she we saw last evening ; wind S.W. Friday 15th.—La Fleur-de-lys returned this morning ; she saw nothing during her cruise ; winds were S. W. all day. Saw a laden vessel at sunset. Saturday 16th.—Wind continues S. W. : news received from Port Toulouse that on the 14th, 14 vessels came in sight which hugged the shore as closely as possible, probably a section of the fleet of Holbourne ; they were judged to be men of war. Wednesday 20th.—Five French prisoners who had escaped from Plaisance arrived here ; they told us there was a 40 gun frigate in harbour there and very few people in the place ; a vessel had arrived there from England recently and reported having sailed most of the way in company with Holbourne's fleet, which, he.said, is composed of 17 men of war, 2 fire-ships and 2 galiots, making for Halifax, and destined later to attack Louisbourg ; we are advised from Ste Anne'-s Bay that a vessel from St. Malo with a cargo of supplies, had put into port, and that it was blockaded there by 2 small privateers. Wind S. W. Weather very foggy. Friday 22nd.—Wind still from S. W. By noon the weather cleared ; the fog had lasted from the 16th, making it impossible to see half a league away, even when it was lightest, and these comparatively clear spells never lasted more than 24 or 30 hours. La Brume and La Comète are setting sail to look for the vessel blockaded at Ste Anne. A ship was seen out at sea steering for here ; I think she was afraid of the frigates ; she anchored near La Baleine. News came from Port Toulouse that a deserter from Halifax had arrived there who reported that up to the 4th of July, Holbourne's squadron had not yet come in. Sunday 24th. Wind S.W. A ship arrived from St. Jean bringing oxen ; she also brought back the Halifax deserter ; he had escaped on the 23rd June and not the 4th July ; he told us nothing more than had the prisoner taken by the Indians. Thursday 28th.—Wind from the S.W. ever since the 24th and a great deal of fog. At day-break the weather cleared and the wind shifted to the north. La Brume and La Comète with the St. Malo ship which they went to look after at Ste Anne anchored this morning ; a Bordeaux vessel which had been seen on the 22nd and which had afterwards anchored at La Baleine also came in ; in the afternoon the wind shifted again to S.W.; since our arrival here we have not had any other wind three times for 24 hours together. Noticed a vessel out at sea shaping her course towards the entrance. Friday 29th. A vessel from La RocheUe came in this morning with supplies and recruits for the colony. Wind S.W. the whole day. Wednesday, 3rd August.—A band of ten or twelve Indians arrived to-day from the vicinity of Halifax ; on the 27th of last month they attacked some men outside of Fort Laurens ; this fort is 4 leagues from Halifax, at the inner end of the Bay, they made 4 prisoners, killed one and brought us 3. These three men could not say anything CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 positive concerning the designs of the English ; they were New England militiamen and had only arrived a short time before ; they said that a good many ships of Holbourne's fleet were not yet in port, that the fleet comprised 17 men of war, that there were two in the harbour that did not belong to the fleet, which agrees with the information received by us from several quarters. These prisoners allege that the fleet can land more than 15,000 landing troops ; two of them said that efforts were being made to prepare for coming here this year, the other stated that the siege had been postponed till next year. Wind S.W. without change since the 29th. Friday 5th.—Yesterday, the wind was S.W.; the whole of to-day it has been N.N.W. and N.W. and pretty fresh ; in the evening it fell off and afterwards went round again to the South ; this afternoon a snow came into port from Quebec in ballast ; it saw Le Bizarre and all its convoy at Isle aux Coudres where it had been at anchor since the 23rd July ; this snow met nothing except two trading ships entering the St. Lawrence, Saturday 6th.—Wind W. S.W., pretty fresh. The schooner on guard at the channel was lost on Pointe au Fanal by not coming round. This afternoon the wind fell off and went round to the N.W. Sunday 7th.—Wind variable all morning; by 10.30 it was blowing pretty fresh; from the S.W. ; Gauthier, the Acadian, and 4 Indians arrived this afternoon from Halifax (the Acadian is the one who brought us the prisoner on the 6th of last month) and a Dutchman captured by him f of a league from Halifax, trying to escape in a small boat. The Dutchman told us that the English were working hard to prepare their army for coming here, that the expedition was composed of 14 men of war, 6 frigates, two galiots carrying bombs and 16,000 landing troops. The Dutchman was lately at Halifax having come from Antigua, from which place 3 English men of war had arrived to increase the fleet. Gauthier told us the same things about the English forces ; he saw the squadron during several days, but the precautions of the English were such that he had no chance to make a prisoner ; it was on the 22nd July that he met the Dutchman who followed him with pleasure. Gauthier reports that he saw a three-decker and that they were dismasting L'Arc-en-del ; he spent a night near a guard in the bush, whom he heard talking a great deal about the siege of Louisbourg ; a battalion of 600 men in 12 companies has been formed from the marines together with a corps of 230 volunteers, in 4 companies, taken from the assistant pilots and pilots' apprentices ; they were landed at Rochefort Point for inspection ; this troop, under two post-captains, will defend the landing of the three creeks at Gautier and of the Grand J^aurenbec, which M. Dubois de la Mothe has caused to be entrenched and furnished with two pieces of ordnance at each landing. A merchant ship left for St. Domingo. Tuesday 9th.—The wind yesterday and to-day was S.W. ; this afternoon two Acadians and two Frenchmen arrived, who had escaped from Halifax on the . of last month. They reported that the English were embarking troops and making all preparations to come here ; they said that they have from 15 to 16,000 landing troops, and that they have only 16 ships, one of which cannot come because she. has been dismantled, 5 frigates, two galiots and two fire-ships. The 4 men told us that the crews on their vessels were small and that a good deal of bad feeling prevailed amongst the soldiers and seamen. The officers are trying to make them believe that the expedition will not last fifteen days. Many desertions, he says, are taking place ; the English flagship is a three-decker ; they have 5 ships of 74 guns each ; the rest carry 64 and 60. Our soldiers and the volunteers went this morning to camp at their destination. Monday 15th.—A boat left here for Brest on the 11th. The wind was S.W. from the 9th until last evening, when it changed during the night and blew pretty free from N. E. In the evening it shifted E. S. E., and at 10 o'clock to S.W. A prize was brought in, one of 110 tons made by a privateer of this place; and an English soldier arrived here who had deserted from Halifax about 3 weeks ago ; he told us just what we had learnt before ; the troops, he said, were to embark the day after his departure. Wednesday 17th.—The wind has continued S.W. these two last days. An English prize, with a cargo of cod, taken by a privateer from Louisbourg on the Great Bank, was LE FORMIDABLE SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 brought in yesterday ; to-day one of the privateers that sailed on the 5th July dropped anchor in this roadstead ; during its cruise it made three prizes of which two are not yet in. Friday 19th.—The wind continues S. W. and quite fresh. About 2 p.m. couriers- arrived from the southern part of the Island to give us notice that many vessels had been seen along the coast ; one hour later from the mastheads several were dis- I covered sailing to the E. and N.E. By 6.30 we counted 20 of them ; they were ! manoeuvring to keep to the windward of Gabarus. Saturday 20th.—Wind S.W. pretty stiff. At day-break we sa.v the English I squadron running before the wind. At about 8 o'clock, the leading vessels lay to, a I little to the windward of Rochefort Point ; the whole of the squadron assembled and I lay to; it looked to me as composed of 15 large vessels, one of which had three decks I and several of 70 guns; only two seemed to be small vessels of 60 guns ; there were also I i frigates, one of two tiers of guns, and the 3 others carrying 20 to 30 cannon, also a dogger that might be a bomb-ketch, making 20 in all. The flag-ship carried a blue flag I at the mizzen, another one carried a blue flag at the fore, and a third one had a kind of I red broad pennant at the main mast. They were not more than a league and a half I from the land. At about 9.30 the sky having become cloudy with the likelihood of fog, I they set sail to the S.E. and appeared to form three columns; soon after the fog hid I them from us ; the fog continued all the day, in the evening we heard several reports of I cannon. Monday 22nd.—The wind was variable all day yesterday with continual and heavy fog; towards the evening the wind shifted N.W. and blew pretty strong from that I quarter; this morning it went round to the N. and N.E. and in the evening to the East. In the afternoon a prize from Jamaica'was brought in, made by one of the ■privateers of Louisbourg, who knew nothing about the proximity of the English ; | fhe said that it was he who fired the guns which we heard from the roads last evening. Saturday 27th.—On the 23rd, 24th, 25th the wind kept shifting from W.N.W. to iJN. ; fine weather ; yesterday the wind went N.E In the morning two English prizes came in, that had been tacking for several days, one laden with tobacco, the other with ifgrain bound from Philadelphia to England. Both were captured by the privateers thorn here; the wind has been N.E. and E.N.E. the whole day, pretty fresh with fog. jjlhe troops and pilots' apprentices who were encamped at Gautier Creek, re-embarked to-day. Wednesday 31st.—Wind changeable since the 27th, W.N.W. to N. fairly fresh, without fog. On the 29th a privateer left to go to the gulf to ascertain whether any ■^essel had passed in. A ship arrived from Canada on the 30th, bringing news of the ■•eduction of Fort George, and to-day the privateer sent to reconnoitre came back; it ud spoken the vessel from Canada which arrived yesterday ; it reported that it had een nothing in the gulf and the St. Lawrence but French merchant ships. Sunday, 4th September.—On the 1st, the wind was S. W. on the 2nd and 3rd, W. W. and N., quite fresh. To-day it has been N. and N. E., with much rain. This Bvening a prize was brought in, made by one of the Louisbourg privateers ; it had a largo of tobacco from Virginia. Thursday 8th,—Wind W. N. W. At 5 o'clock this evening two privateers put lut. On the 6th the wind changed and by the evenfhg was S. W. A Louisbourg ■nvateer that had left on the 2nd of July returned to-day ; it was chased off Canceaux by I brigantine ; a fishing schooner taken by the privateer came in yesterday. To-day the j'ind has been from N. to N. E. On the 6th and 7th we saw a schooner which we ■ispect to be a scout, she appeared to change her track at the entrance, keeping the ■md and went away after making observations. Monday i 2th.—On the 9th the wind was from N. to N. E. Very fine weather ; m the 10th it was S. W., also very fine; on the 11th N. E., in the morning, during the ■ternoon E. S. E. ; in the evening there was a dead calm, to-day the same ; at 2.30 we id a light breeze La Brume and La Comète set out to escort 5 schooners or bateaux den with supplies to Ile St. Jean. Thursday 15th.—On the 13th the wind was S. W. and S. S. W. the whole day. afternoon. Strong wind during the night. On e saw the two frigates during the CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906 the 14th wind S. W. ; every day pretty fresh. Our frigates came as far as the entrance conducting two of their schooners which had been damaged during the night. To-day the wind being N. E. and pretty fresh, the vessel sent by M. Dubois de la Mothe on the 5th of July to France arrived ; it had touched yesterday at Menadon from which place a number of packets were sent to our generals. This vessel arrived at Brest on the 22nd of July and left there on the 8th of August; this afternoon a snow from La; RocheUe came in with a cargo of supplies for the squadron ; five of them bad left together on the 27th of June. Friday 16th.—Wind S. W., very cold. At 11.30, we saw the English squadronl coming from a southwesterly direction, wind abaft, one man of war and a frigate sailed! along the coast at the distance of a cannon shot as far as the island. We fired 7 or 8 J shots at them from different batteries ; these two ships put their helms hard toi starboard ; the main body of the squadron sailing with the wind did not come nearer I than two leagues or 2£ leagues with the wind and then, kept as close to the wind as theyl could ; we saw 23 or 24 of them including a schooner, but as the horizon was thick theirl forces could not be clearly distinguished. Monday 19th.—On the 17th the wind was fresh from N. W. the 18th from N. W.B to N. N. W. ; less wind to-day, but it blew pretty fresh from S. W. A small vessel* came in carrying supplies for the squadron, it is one of the 5 which sailed on the 27th ofl June; this vessel met 18 ships 8 leagues south from here, but could not make out theirl strength having only seen them from a great distance ; two detatched themselves froml the main body and gave chase as far as the entrance to the harbour. Tuesday 20th.—Wind S. W. At sunset we saw the English squadron, but onlyl from the mastheads; from the land 22 were counted. They were to the S. W. morel than 3 leagues distant ; they went off on the starboard tack. Wednesday 21st.—Calm weather the whole day. During the evening a vessel wasB seen in the S.W., which we thought was trying to come in. Thursday 22nd.—Wind from E. to E.S.E., light during the day ; last evening the Acadian, Gautier, and 4 Indians who had left on the 1st of the month for Halifax, returned. Gautier reports that only one man of war remains in the harbour, dismasted of its foremast and far fewer transports than before, when he and his Indians were there, which was shortly after the arrival of the fleet. He said he saw a great number ot troops encamped outside the town and observed from the heights surrounding the place that they were building barracks inside the town which would accommodate a large; body of troops. The object of the party was to capture prisoners, but they did not succeed in doing so ; they only killed two men whom they scalped. Saw to-day the vessel, noticed yesterday, in the neighbourhood of Gabarus, she made a long tack to the N.E., which caused us to believe she was trying to come in. Friday 23rd.—Wind from E.S.E. to S.E., pretty fresh with heavy sea ; weather very cloudy. The vessel noticed during the last few days was seen again, we recognized her positively this morning as an English ship of 60 or 70 guns ; she made a stretch to N.E., under a considerable spread of canvas, notwithstanding that it was blowing hard ; not being able to double Scatary on that tack she went about. This vessel was in a bad position if the wind had increased ; its manoeuvres during the last 3 days make me think that they had landed somebody whom they wished to take on board again, she would not have risked running so close in shore without urgent reason. This evening they lowered the top-masts and dropped the sheet anchor. Saturday 24th.—The wind continued E., during the day, strong wind and very heavy sea. Weather very cloudy ; in the evening the wind increased in violence. Sunday the 25th.—Wind was blowing very hard from E. to E. JE., and constantly increasing. By 3 o'clock it was furious with an awful sea. Le Dauphin Royal dragged anchor and struck Le Tonnant which in trying to get away came .very close to us, and forced us to pay out the cable of our own anchor to the north-east. Le Tonnant had her bow-sprit carried away by the stern of Le Dauphin. The two vessels! were then lashed together, side by side, and so they remained 6 or 7 hours drifting! from time to time and obliging us to pay out the cable of our N.E. anchor. We sustained the brunt of the blast, the anchor being of no use. We approached verj •kl LE FORMIDABLE SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 near the coast having come to the blade of the S. W. anchor, which with asmall cable anchor to the S.E. were the only ones that held. We had only 29 feet of water ; about 11 o'clock one of the cables of Le Tonnant broke, and she got separated from Le Dauphin ; we grounded ; they cut away her mizen- saw her drifting away to the shoal where she mast ; the wind blew from 3 o'clock until 11 o'clock almost without cessation and with equal violence from E. to E.S.E. ; during a squall it shifted to the S.E. and went round finally to S.W. not long after, which saved our 3 vessels. Le Tonnant which only touched lightly once or twice managed to get off; soon after the wind abated and the sea became less heavy ; at 2.30 some boats came along and we set to work to get away from where we were ; boats were sent those most in need of them ; of the 5 vessels that were opposite the entrance none remained ; 3 of us had been in the greatest danger ; L'Hector and Le Héros had been in equal straits ; the first one grounded several times, and the second had lost two cables | in a word the wind was so violent that if it had lasted two hours longer, perhaps not one of the King's vessels would have been saved ; seven of them were in evident danger ; L'Abénaqui went aground on a shoal through the snapping of a cable. All the merchant ships and schooners with one or two exceptions, went ashore. The oldest inhabitants have no recollections of so furious la wind or of one of equal duration, coming moreover from a direction which produced a I frightful sea. Some men belonging to merchant ships were drowned. Our ships of [war lost a few men drowned from the boats that were driven ashore. Le Tonnant suf- Ifered much through grounding ; she has a leak near her stern post through which she [takes more than 20 inches of water per hour. It is hoped that L'Abénaqui can be saved. IThe wind blew from S.W. all the afternoon and in the evening pretty fresh, but there ■ was no sea. We have secured ourselves as well as we can for the night. Boats are ■missing from most of the vessels. Monday 26th—The wind has been S.W. to W.S.W., but very light. All the ■vessels were busy making themselves fast again ; there was not one of them that had kept its place. Many had lost their cables by snapping or fraying ; the operation of making these vessels secure took a long time. Tuesday, 27th. Hardly any wind this morning, and it shifted all round the Kompass during the afternoon ; it settled W.S.W. and nearly died down. Le Tonnant pas been sent to the careening place for repairs ; an attempt was also made, but un- Isuccessfully as yet, to float L'Abénaqui. Le Superbe is gone to the careening place, liot on account of damage but for greater safety. A vessel arrived this morning from Port Toulouse and reported that yesterday they law two vessels dismasted. This afternoon a boat from Canceau reports having found I vessel with two tiers of guns aground at St. Esprit, and that they recognized her as English; they went near to offer help but seeing it was not French they did not lare to expose their boat to the risk of capture or of being sunk by taking too many leople on board. The prow of the vessel was all that could be seen, on it there were more than 100 men, they saw a good many who had escaped to the shore. 150 soldiers were despatched from Louisbourg to take them prisoners. I Wednesday 28th.—Wind S. W. all day pretty fresh. This morning a boat arrived worn the vicinity of St. Esprit having on board the 1st lieutenant of the man of war, the wilbury 58 guns, lost on that coast on Sunday. He came to ask for help for about 200 men ho had escaped from the wreck ; the prisoner and the men who brought him here tes- |fy that they saw some other wrecked vessels and many dismasted ; a Council was held lis afternoon to decide whether we should go in search of the disabled vessels, which pe winds we have had cannot have carried far from land ; the hope of saving Le tonnant by giving it all the assistance the squadron can afford, prevailed ; and only I» Fleur-de-lys was ordered to set out for Canceaux. Thursday 29th—No wind this morning ; this afternoon it freshened up a little loin W. N. W. La Fleur-de-lys got under sail. Le Superbe is through careening. Friday 30th.—Wind all day W. N. W. just a light breeze. La Fleur-de-lys anchored this morning outside the roadstead ; she captured yesterday, abreast of the liion Islands, an English snow the Prince of Wales, 14 guns belonging to the King, Id commanded by a man carrying the King's commission. This vessel took La Fleur- 10 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 190ej de-lys for an English vessel and went within range ; we judge, that she was detailed from Halifax to carry dispatches to Hplbourne ; she had been gone only 30 hours, the] captain says he was on his way to protect the fishing on the Great Bank, he did not fire a single shot before surrendering ; he says he met nothing on his way. Saturday 1st October.—La Fleur-de-lys and her prize came in this morning to-day we had a Council of War to decide what to do with Le Tonnant, and it was agreed unanimously to keel her over upon two merchant ships that have been impressed for the purpose, and to leave her crew ; also to leave L'Abénaqui here as we are assured that she will float at the first high tide ; the Council also fixed the departure oi the squadron for the 8th instant. The wind varied every day from W. N. W. to S. W.l Two merchant ships left for St. Domingo; along the south coast the debris of vessels] have been found, from which it is believed that two others have been lost. Suniay 2nd.—Wind has been variable from S.W., to W., gentle breezes. Monday 3rd.—It has been almost calm all day, any little freshness came from S. W. There was continuous and very thick fog. Tuesday 4th.—Gentle wind from S. W.; fog very thick until 4.30 p.m. when the] weather cleared a little. We saw a small vessel to S.W. pretty close, but owing to thel fog it could not be recognized. The fog these two days has been exceptional; it is not] usual, after June and July, to see it so dense and of *-uch duration. We have only had! it once or twice since then, after having had it almost continually during those two] months. Wednesday 5th.—Gentle breezes from S.W. and S. S.W., fog in the morning; by] 10 o'clock the weather cleared ; we discovered La Brume and La Comète. These] two frigates anchored in the roadstead at noon ; they come from Ile St. Jean] nothing interesting happened to them since they left here. They felt the gale ot the] 24th September, but it does not seem to have been so severe with them as with us a an extraordinary thing in connection with that gale is that it was not felt at Port] Dauphin, only 12 or 15 leagues from Louisbourg; the vessel seen yesterday did not] come to the entrance during the day, from which we infer that she was English ; during the evening a small vessel was seen at the Guion Islands which might be the same, it must therefore be a scout in search of the squadron. Yesterday and to-day there arrived a number of prisoners from the Tilbury ; 280 men in all were saved ; debris are being found continually on the coast ; according to the information we possess 3 large vessels and one frigate are lost between St. Esprit and here. The English officers 3ay that on Saturday evening they numbered 8 vessels all assembled at the Cape ; it is difficult to believe that the greater part of them were not lost. Thursday 6th.—Light breeze from S.W., weather clear. This afternoon one of the privateers of the town arrived. She had with it a prize from Boston ; she had also captured 2 other vessels, one loaded with supplies, and met on Tuesday the 4th, a coaster going from Mirligueche to Halifax ; she put a prize crew on board in sight of seven men of war and two frigates then entering the port. The privateer declares that the vessels which she saw are much shattered ; two were seen without top masts, one with the main mast badly disabled ; the privateer was chased by the frigates, but only for a short time. Frida'y 7th.—Wind S.W. ; in the morning almost a calm, but a good breeze in the afternoon, weather clear, a vessel seen in the evening ; blew from the N.W. during the night but in squalls and after that it came round to S.W. again. Saturday 8th.—Wind S.W. clear, fine, all day. They tried this morning to lay Le Tonnant over on her side, the apparatus employed was not strong enough, it has to be made over again ; this evening a prize made by a Louisbourg privateer was brought in, one of about 90 tons taken with supplies; she is not that of the privateer that returned on the oth. This vessel was chased by a schooner up to Gabarus. Sunday 9th.—The wind was S.W. in the morning, and went round to N.W. in the evening, then to N.E. ; fine weather. Monday 10th.—Wind E. all the morning, a little fresh; at 9 o'clock 3 vessels were seen, one N.E., one E. and one S.W.; the first-was L'Apollon laden with supplies for the squadron ; she had left Brest on the 1st September. The second a packet- LE FORMIDABLE 11 I SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 boat from Quebec carrying prisoners to Halifax, the 3rd is, I think, a cruiser which we have seen several times. The weather was quite clear in the morning; by 2.30 the wind shifted S.W. and all at once a very thick fog came up. L'Apollon was forced to anchor in the channel. Le Tonnant was laid on her side this afternoon ; it is calculated that the damage on one side will be repaired within 24 hours, and on the ether in less time. Tuesday 11th.—Wind S. W. nice, fresh breeze; continuation of thick fog; weather JJeared somewhat at 11 o'clock. Two vessels were seen, one seemed to be trying to lome in, the other is the cruiser that has been making her appearance lately. At 1.30 he fog returned as thick as ever. Wednesday 12th.—Wind S. W. pretty fresh, thick fog almost all the time. In lhe morning, during a brief lifting of the fog a small English privateer of 6 guns, came a, which had been taken in the Gulf by Le Bizarre and Le Célèbre, who are to join Is here. This little vessel is one of those we saw yesterday, she was chased by the other lessel. Thursday 13th.—Wind variable all day, weather clear. This morning there came i a prize made by one of the Louisbourg privateers ; she was carrying supplies, there ■so arrived, a packet-boat from Quebec for Halifax having a number of English on ward. The one we saw last Monday left to-day. Friday 14tb.—Wind changeable from W.N.W, to N.W. W., very cold, rain, heavy [ualls. Le Tonnant was put on her other side this morning and thoroughly Kpaired. By nightfall she was put on her keel again ; the packet-boat left. Saturday 15th.—Wind W. N. W. toN. W., steady and fresh, weather clear. La Mew-de-lys left to cruise in the direction of Canceaux. Weather very cold and lird yesterday and to-day. Sunday 16th.—Wind W. N. W., all morning, good fresh breeze ; during the after- Ion it fell off and went round to N. and afterwards died down in N. E. Monday 17th.—Wind this morning quite fresh from E. then S. E. and stronger. I continued to increase until 3 o'clock when it became very strong with a very heavy li. The top masts were lowered and we dropped the sheet anchor. Tuesday 18th.—Wind continued with the same force until 2 o'clock in the morning, len after a squall it went round to S. W. and subsided a little ; we felt it less being in Iheltered position, but the sea continued heavy and the vessel laboured a good deal, trdlyany wind all afternoon. La hleur-de-lys returned this evening, she encoun- ■ 'ed the wind at a great distance from the land. Wednesday 19th.—Wind all day W. S. W. and W. N. W. pretty fresh ; fine lather ; wind subsided in the evening. L'Abénaqui was laid over to-day on the ; itoons of Le Tonnant and was entirely repaired and placed on her keel by thé Ining. Thursday 20th.—Wind S. S. W. to S. W. nice, fresh breeze with fine weather. is morning a vessel arrived with 10 days' provisions for the squadron, the re- ■tader of the cargo being for the garrison of the colony; she left Brest on the 19th Itember. There came in also this evening a small vessel from La RocheUe, loaded with Iplies for the colony, she had sailed 7 months before, some accidents which she had ■tained in the gulf having forced her to put into port twice on the Spanish coast, fcnce it took her 65 days to cross. At the beginning of the night an English boat wn with codfish came in as a prize of a Louisbourg privateer. At about 7 o'clock the Id greatly increased ; we had a squall during the night. I Friday 21st.—A prize made by one of the Louisbourg privateers came in, a New- lland craft. I Saturday 22.—Wind W. S. W. to W., fine weather. This morning there arrived Idians with two Englishmen captured at Halifax, who informed us of the arrival in 1 port of 14 vessels of Holbourne's squadron, two of them without any masts. They I had information of the loss of the Tilbury and of another large vessel, but seem- |o have no news of the rest of the squadron. The admiral nevertheless was spread- Ithe report that 7 vessels were making for Europe; but it appears certain that he Jno information regarding them ; as the squadron on its first appearance on the 16th ember and during the cruise was composed of 20 ships of the line and 6 frigates, 3 12 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VIL, A. 19Ç were still missing at Halifax ; two were said to be at Newfoundland ; one of the Loui bourg privateers anchored to-night in the roadstead, she met the gale of the 25th in lal tude 37 and narrowly escaped destruction in the blasts of the wind. Sunday 23. Wednesday October 26.—The wind sprang up from E. to E. S. E., strong and fres it varied between those points until 4 o'clock when it went round to N. E. and fe off ; during the night it shifted S. W. with fine weather. One of the Louisbourg priv, teers came in this morning, having left not far from here an English prize of 200 toi loaded with military stores for Boston. Thursday 27 Sunday October 30.—Light wind from W. N.W., bright moonlight ; at 1.30 a.m. v received the signal to weigh anchor and the vessels nearest to the channel were ordere to go out ; about the same moment Le Tonnant which was trying to come from tl inner end of the bay, went aground, at 6.30 she floated again. We waited until sq was under sail before the signal was given to start ; by 11 o'clock she had her sails sç and we set ours, at a distance of f of a league we lay to, those remaining in the ba were L'Inflexible, Le Diadème and L'Eveillé, the latter ran aground while hoistic sail, the two others anchored in the channel for want of wind ; we saw L'FveilU floa ing again and towing herself opposite the channel, the rest of the squadron was outsid; L'Apollon fitted as an hospital and destined to follow us, was there also ; we put cj board that vessel 212 sidk persons so as to relieve the colony, of that number, whicj still left about 500, besides a very great number whom we embarked. The squadrc lost 850 men during its sojourn notwithstanding that hospital supplies were not absj lutely scarce ; they were, however, very dear ; the expenditure of the squadron for tha item alone amounted to nearly 300,000 livres, the total being 438,000 livres. It estimated that the repairs fcô Le Tonnant included in this cost were more than 80,00 livres. x Monday October 31 , Monday November 7.—Wind from S. S. W. to S. J S. W., smart breeze and fir sea. At 6.30 we bore E. N. E. because the general wished to take his position in lat tude 47 in order to look for the squadron which was to rendezvous on that parallel. Tuesday 8 , Wednesday 9th.—At 8 o'clock saw 4 vessels taking the same route ; at 10 we la to and waited for them. At 1 we went ahead under shortened sail ; the 4 vessels ga« the signal of recognition they were Le Défenseur, Le Diadème, L'Eveillé and L'Inflexibu Thursday 10th Sunday 13th.—Were sent to take off L'Apollon 17 Englishmen who attempted revolt, (but without success) the crew being on their guard Sunday November 20th.—Saw a vessel without her main top mast, and sai furled on her fore-mast a little to the windward of us ; taking her for one of our frigate we made signals : The vessel spread all her sails and was carrying a white flag ; w saw it was a large vessel ; with the hope of catching up to her soon we decided to giv chase; but none of our ships was ready which gave the vessel time to get awa.v Le Diadème-was the first ready and the fastest. She continued to pursue theEnglisj vessel; at 1.30 Le Diadème got within range and opened fire on her; several broad sides were exchanged until 3.15 when signals were made to give up the chase. That vessr looked like one of 70 guns. We lay to waiting for our vessels which were far awaj L'Inflexible had lost her main mast. Wednesday November 23rd.—At midnight found 75 fathoms, fine sand reddisbJ at 7.15 75 fathoms reddish-yellow with small white shells. At 9 o'clock we bore S. Ij We saw 3 vessels ; le Belliqueux stopped one which was near her which I think was En^ lish; we lay to awaiting her and half an hour afterwards we started again, at 10 o'clock * took a course E. S. E. and made sail, lying to again in 68 fathoms grey sandy botton with small pointed shells, wind S. W. ; the route since yesterday at noon is S. E., degrees south, 24 1. latt. ob. 48—16, 1 minute more north than long 6—50. I find: passed beyond Ouessant, at 1 o'clock ; we saw it E. \ N. E. of the compass at 5 leagw distance. We had made two leagues since noon which puts me in advance of the vessi 13J leagues. r 5-6 EDWARD VII.

Historical Journal containing all the most interesting occurrences during the expedition to the Island of St. Domingo and Canada in the year 1757, on board the King's ship L'Inflexible, being part of the squadron of M. le Chevalier De Beaufremont; rear-admiral. I wish at this moment, monsieur, that my memory were retentive enough to make you acquainted with every detail, and this would be all the more satisfactory to me, as it is my desire to be exact. I received orders to embark on the said ship on the 10th of December 1756, and sailed for Brest on January 20tb, 1757, en route for the Islands of St. Domingo, for which we were first bound, and where we arrived on the 19 th of March of said year. As it is my object to make you acquainted with everything which occurred during the voyage, I will begin by the mention of a slight alarm which happened the day we left Brest. Here I are the facts : at one o'clock past midnight, a sailor came up in haste to the castle and cried out "Oh my God ; we are sinking." This was enough surely to cause a panic amongst the crew, but noboby believed in anything so serious. On seeking to ascertain where the leak was, we were indeed much surprised. to find everything afloat between decks, where there was more than thirty tons of water, which at once slackened the speed of our vessel, without yet knowing the cause ; we made prompt diligence to rem- ledy the evil as you may well imagine. It was found that it came through the hawse I holes, the plugs of which had been forced in by the high sea. We immediately used our pumps and buckets, and were not long in taking advantage of the fair winds which I had favored us so far and continued until the 2nd (day of February) when they veered [to the S.W., where we encountered a hard gale, which towards evening swept away our [two top sails and did not abate until the 8th. During this long period we were constantly lying to ; the sea was very heavy, so that our ship was labouring hard at times ; Ion the 8th the wind dropped and became favourable. On the 22nd we entered the ■tropic». M. Duvigneau, midshipman, died on the 26th, and on March 3rd we lost our ■captain, Monsieur De Tilly, whom we honored on the same day with the last rites, by fcleren guns and three volleys of musketry. I regretted the latter inasmuch as he was In amiable man and used to treat me most friendlily. The sad situation we were in, Inade us impatient' to see the end of the voyage, considering that we had more than 130 |>oor sick fellows, who deserved compassion, as they lacked absolutely all refreshments. me cut off . . . . .we even deprived ourselves during a few Bays of our soup in order to procure them some relief. To complete our distress most |>f our surgeons were disabled : we asked the General for the services of some others, W»'" 4 CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VIL, A. 190. and seeing our sad situation he authorised us immediately to take four surgeons frori two ships of the squadron. That same day, the General had M. and Mde Bart at hi table. M. Bart was going as General to St. Domingo, and during the evening Md Bart was honored by eleven guns when leaving the ship. On the 16th, we noticed i vessel ahead of us, which we could not very well distinguish on account of the fog; on of our frigates made her out as a man-of-war, and gave chase, meantime signalling he intention ; the general issued the order to the whole squadron to join in the chase. W recognised the vessel partly, because of her way of manœuvering, and there was even indication that she was commanded by a man of experience, and in this we made no mis: take, because Captain Roddam commanding said vessel (by name Greenwich 50 mount©; guns, but with embrasures for 60, with 350 crew) proved himself to be a skilful office! and only surrendered at 8 o'clock in the evening, after having withstood the fire of severs of our ships. M. Deschistierna, a Sweedish officer on board Le Diadème was darj gerously wounded in the thigh by a cannon ball, but happily the wound was not fatal The presumption of the English, that all ships at sea must belong to their peopld has contributed somewhat to the loss of the ship ; it is singular that notwithstandinl several examples of this kind which ought to open their eyes, they persist always in th] same manner of thinking. We spent the 17th manning the prize, and distributing th] prisoners on our ship ; toward evening we continued our route ; on the.!8th we notice»] a privateer in sight of the Cape (Haytien) and the general signalled our frigates to givj chase ; toward evening we lost 3ight of the vessel. The next day, the 19th, we anchorej in the roadstead of the cape at 5 p. m. The same day M. and Mde Bart went ashonj Le Diadème commanded by M. de Rosilly gave them a salute of 17 gunj and the Royal battery fired 21 guns. Upon landing, on the 21st of the said montl M. Bart was received with great pomp at the head of the troops, as commander genera of St. Domingo. Indeed greater honour could not have been paid to the Creator. 0] the 23rd, we received news from our frigates, which we had left on the 18th, chasinj the privateer. They had put into port at Port-de-Paix which is on the coast lj leagues distant from the Cape. La Brume commanded by M. de Prévalaye overtool the privateer and engaged in a brisk fight. Captain Valentin in command, gained thj name of a brave man, and only surrendered, when at the last extremity, not soleil because he was dismasted, but after two-thirds of his crew had been killed or wounded The night was very dark, and the sea so rough, that the frigate could not take moijj than fifty prisoners ; they left aboard on the prize a pilot's apprentice with 20 men t navigate the vessel, as it was impossible to follow the frigate, the pilot received ordei to put into Port-de-Paix, which was in sight, but they met at the entrance three priva teers who captured the vessel. On the 24th Le Sauvage, a frigate, broke her ^owspril her foremast and main gallant sail, and La Brume, seeing thi3 accident remained tl assist her ; this obliged them to put into Port-de-Paix, the one vessel to rig out, and thi other to repair the damage caused by the fight. Being informed that there were near 400 prisoners at Jamaica, our general sent, oj the 24th, a flag of truce, to propose to the Governor of Jamaica an exchange, as we hal more than 700 prisoners. From our situation we were anxious that our proposal should be accepted, although they may not have appeared to our advantage and weil made only with a view to please the enemy. We therefore waited with impatience til return of the flag, but to no purpose, as will be seen later on. On the 26th M. cl Sérigny second lieutenant commanding the schooner La Levrette sent to bring despatchj to our general, had to sustain a fight against a privateer in sight of this Island, whici obliged him to put into port at Port Dauphin, whence he came by land on the morninl of the 27th to fulfil his mission. La Levrette being thus 14 leagues from here the ge:| eral sent a frigate on the 28th to escort her, and the 29th they both entered this roal stead. On April 4th I received orders from the general to go on board the Greenwim and disarm her. I was engaged at this work, day and night, as the matter was presl ing, having finished on the 17th, I handed all statements to the general. On the 4th vl lost a midshipman named Juchereau, a lad of merit, very much regretted. On the 20*1 the general gave an entertainment on board his ship in honour of Mde Bail to which all thé ladies of the town were invited. The ball commenced at 9 p.m., arl L'INFLEXIBLE 5 I SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 only terminated at 8 a.m. On the 22nd a Danish boat arrived from Jamaica, she had been stopped by the English ; she reported that the flag of truce sent by us, was on the eve of being confiscated and considered a fair prize, as they found in the hold three small cannons used for ballast ; this did not surprise us by any means, because they capture in these ports all that comes near them, without excepting any nation. Dutch, I Spanish, Danish boats, all are welcome ; such is the real law of pirates ; no more pirates are seen since the English have usurped the trade. We heard often that they feared | that we had some design on that Island, and in view of this, they had placed four large ships from their roadstead opposite the entrance. On the 24th the general ordered us, as well as the whole squadron, in this roadstead, (numbering 25 vessels) to get ready to I leave at the first signal. On the 3rd of May calm weather prevented us from carrying out I this plan, and we were obliged to defer our departure till the next day, the 4th, when we covered 40 leagues from the place of disemboguement, and as it was the intention I of the general to escort the merchantmen to this spot and no further he gave the signal I agreed upon with them on the evening of the 8th, in order that each could continue her route as desired ; it being of great consequence for us to reach onr second destination. Our departure from the Cape caused much talk. During our sojourn there, the strict I silence maintained by our general about his designs, gave rise to great speculation. I The route we followed after the disemboguement was towards Ile Royale where we I anchored, having exercised the utmost diligence, in order to arrive there before the I enemy. During the voyage we burned two of their vessels. As we were aware I of their design upon that colony we were much surprised in not finding it blockaded by the enemy, so as to intercept all the ships carrying supplies or ammunition. I Our arrival created a feeling of ease, as we were awaited with anxiety. M. de Beau- I fremont seeing the state of the fortifications ordered some detachments from every ■ ship of his squadron to commence work most necessary. On the 11th L'Achille I a ship of the squadron of M. Du Revest, arrived alone, being separated in the fog from ■ others, which entered on the 19th; the squadron of M. Dubois de la. Motte arrived on I the 20th. This general also expected to find before the place some forces to oppose his I entrance and he was much surprised at the conduct of the enemy. The English nation, I which had flattered itself to make a second exchange of Louisbourg for Port Mahon, had I not acted in such a manner as to succeed this year, while on our side we may be gratified at j the happy junction of our squadrons. Immediately after his arrival the general began his I inspection of the fortifications of the place, with which he was not satisfied ; his inspec- I tion went on all along the coast, on the south side as far as Gabarus, which is the locality 1 where the enemy effected his landing in 1745, and on the north side as far as Laurenbec. I Having found in these parts several points suitable for a landing, he immediately ordered detachments from all the ships, with officers, to work the intrenchments, and establish ■ batteries at each point,and no work was stopped until everythingwas complete. Hecaused I the fortifications to be repaired and increased as well in the interior as on the exterior lof the place, where we increased the batteries and levelled a height which commands the jgrand cavalier of the Dauphin gate, one of the principal batteries of the town. Ile Royale, |a place of much renown, required such an inspection in order to be put somewhat in a Istate of defence. Four companies of the troops of the colony, with a few pickets from ■the Artois, and the Bourgogne regiments, began to encamp early in June in several entrenchments ; but in the course of said month all the camps were increased. As the ■general said that the garrison was insufficient to guard all the points where the enemy Icould attempt a landing, he ordered a detachment from each ship with officers, to form a battalion of 900 men and 4 companies of volunteers of 50 each, taken from amongst the Ipilots' apprentices, and assistant pilots, fellows who were well disposed. When all arrangements were made he ordered all the troops detailed for this service to land to be inspected |by himself. They came in good order, in two lines, and they re-embarked in the same panner, with instructions to keep themselves ready to march, which order they received pn the 8th and 9th ; all the troops went to Anse à Gauthier, and Laurenbec which is |>nly half a league distant, and where they pitched their camps ; the camp of the Indians, pumbering 600, was at Gabarus. We were quite prepared to receive the enemy at all ■points. We could have wished that there had been no misunderstanding between Gen- 18—60* I mm WflBW CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 190( eral Holbourne and Loudon, and that they had executed their plan, of which we wen well informed. Finally Holbourne whom we impatiently expected appeared before the town on the 19th of August, with his squadron composed of twenty-two ships, men o war, as well as frigates, and remained all night side by side, not quite certaii whether the convoy followed them, as it did not show itself ; all the troops turned ou from the town and advanced towards Gabarus where they encamped. The next day the 20th, there was no indication of any convoy. In the morning Holbourne advancec his squadron and came near enough to inaKe a good reconnaissance, and after his exami nation went seaward, then made for Halifax, where he remained eight days shut up ii his room without speaking to anyone, after which time he ordered all the captains tt prepare to sail, each taking a picket of grenadiers on board, as his intention was to at tack us if the occasion presented itself. On the 24th, eve of the festival of St. Louis, the general ordered all the ships ti dress and to discharge all their artillery in succession, to be followed by a continuel musketry fire, which was performed accordingly. On the 26th, the ships were similarl dressed, and fired each 15 guns, the general firing first. On the 27th, the troops raisei the camp and each detachment received orders to re-embark. On the 16th Septembei Holbourne reappeared before us, and at a certain distance sent a ship from the road stead and a frigate to make observations, but a few discharges of cannon from th land upset their plans and they rejoined the fleet. The design of Holbourne was t cruise before the port in order to blockade it and intercept all the ships coming to th colony. We had been informed that the 15,000 land troops then at Halifax were winter there, which I hardly believed, but we learned since that Loudon had taken pat of them to Boston ; that a large number were distributed throughout New England an a Highland Battalion alone remained at Halifax. A man named Gauthier, resident o Louisbourg, a sworn enemy of. the English, did not neglect to tell us what was going o: in their ports, although 60 leagues distant. Our general detailed him on several occi sions to go there with some Indians, who never returned without bringing scalps an prisoners, secured even at the foot of the ramparts, and I must say that Gauthie received a well deserved reward from the general. Since the 23rd, the winds in the E. and S.E. parts of the island, were constant! from the S.E. and were fresh enough, with much fog and rain to make us fear a storn and so it began on the 24th in the afternoon, without much violence at the outset, bi: at one o'clock in the night it turned into a most terrible hurricane, there was not single ship of our squadron that did not drift, although each had four anchors unde, her bows ; by daybreak our situation was lamentable. During the night Le Dauphit Royal fired a cannon as signal of distress. In spite of our wish to assist them, we wer absolutely unable to do so. The sea was so dreadful that it made us shudder. Th cable of Le Dauphin Royal broke, she was instantly thrown on Le Tonnant where sh broke her rudder, the whole of the gallery of the poop was destroyed, but these damage were inconsiderable compared with those sustained by Le Tonnant, whose bowsprit wa broken, also the figure-head and cut-water ; and she was thrown, while thus entangle< on the Royal battery, where she struck with violence. We were even suprised that sh could resist the shock, the mizzen-mast was promptly cut away to lighten the stern whic was the portion that was suffering most, they staved in the water casks and evei 30 large barrels of wine to lighten her, and notwithstanding the rough weather they gc her off again. The worst leak did not exceed 38 inches per hour when once things wer arranged, which gave hope of saving the vessel. L'Hector, although it struck prett hard, was fortunately none the worse. If at noon the wind had continued for anothf hour and not changed to the S. and S.W., nine or ten of our vessels, including that our general, would have been in imminent danger of being driven ashore. It is impoj sible to imagine such a dreadful' spectacle as that which met our eyes. The frigal La Bénaquise, the cable of which parted, was instantly thrown up on the beach, along wit 25 merchantmen, several of them high and dry. More than 80 boats and skiffs of tt squadron were tossed by the waves and smashed most of them on the shore, a numbe of the men on board them perishing. More than 50 schooners and boats met the sam fate. By 3 p.m., the hurricane having greatly abated, I went in our boat to help ot L'INFLEXIBLE SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 generals. Sailors, who have been more than 50 years afloat, say that they never saw the sea so awful. The ramparts of the town were thrown down, and the water inundated half of the town, a thing which had never been seen. The sea dashed with such tremendous force on the coast that it reached lakes two leagues inland. It may be said that Louis played a high stake and made six points, but that George, although supported by Holbourne, only scored three, as you will see further on. During the afternoon of the 27th a boat arrived with a report that whilst passing St. Esprit they saw a large ship lying on the shore with the rear part sunk ; they saw a number of people on the shore, and also many others on the prow. Upon this information we sent, next morning, 4 schooners with 60 grenadiers and 100 soldiers, who were forced back by contrary winds, and went by land,. The same day a person of the locality brought in his boat Captain Thems second captain of the said ship who is on board with us, also two sailors. We learn that it was the Tilbury 60 guns, forming part of the Holbourne squadron. The Captain, and the commander of the grenadiers were drowned, as well as half the crew. Our troops had great difficulty in reaching the scene of the wreck, owing to the floods in many localities which the gale had caused the sea to submerge. We were anxious to give the shipwrecked prompt assistance, for fear of the fury of the Indians, who might possibly get there first. This they did but they behaved very well under the circumstances, their conduct surprising us. When a company of Savages, 150 strong, made their appearance, not one of the English, although half dead with hardship, expected to escape, but a chief came forward and reassured them, saying :—"Fear not, since the hurricane has brought you to shore we are coming to your relief, but if you had come to make war upon us, not one of you would be safe, and we would take all your scalps ". The Indians themselves went on board the ship to help the others get off. The living were not plundered at all, but as the dead arrived on the shore they searched them. As soon as the Captain came ashore he was taken before the General and questioned freely as to the wreck. We expected that this would prove futile because the English are ignorant of anything which is disadvantageous to them, nevertheless in that moment may be in the rush of joy as knowing that he was saved from such great danger, he said that since his ship was lost, he had great apprehension for part of his squadron, from that, questions were useless. Notwithstanding reports received from several persons certifying that masts and remains of vessels were found, I never thought that an exact account of their losses could be obtained except from France; the best news we could obtain was through the reports of five Indians who returned from Halifax {on October 22nd. These Indians brought 5 scalps and two prisoners from the squadron. [The Indians offered their captives to the General saying " Our Father, accept from lus, some more fresh meat, and make use of it." The prisoners being questioned, [said that the Tilbury with another ship that they could not name were lost : [that 14 ships of Holbourne's squadron reached Halifax, but of these 3 or 4 were so ; damaged that it was found necessary to leave them there, and besides seven other ships [dismasted were missing. Now, will it be a mistake to say that Holbourne is a daring [man on the sea and Loudon on the land. With his determination to beat us the first ■loses the sight of dangers and sacrifices himself, while the second trained his troops |at Halifax when the capitulation of Fort George was going on, you must acknowledge ■that the million they spent to lay siege to Louisbourg and for other undertakings ■through Canada, were a poor investment, and we must recognise that their projects have failed in this part of the country. The disaster of the 20th March last at Fort George has l>een a terrible blow ; the burning of 300 boats, stores of victuals, and supplies of all finds, 17 houses located near a fort, an hospital and a large store full of timber, a paw mill, and several houses making a kind of lower town near the fort, two galleys Irith 3C oars, and more than 300 cords of wood picked up for the heating of the Fort, pll reduced to ashes. The loss was so much the more deplorable, that the provisions were Itored to be used during the next campaign, also that they thus found themselves in the greatest embarrassment. On the 30th of August last, we learned from Quebec that the irench in front of Fort George was forced between the 4th and 5th of August during the Jight, and the besieged raised the white flag on the 9th at 6 o'clock A.M. As this is lecret information, I will continue the story of the campaign. CANADIAN ARCHIVES 5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1906] On September 28th, the general sent M. de Tourville to inspect the coast and see if he could discover any debris of the Holbourne squadron ; in turning out he met a snow, which was bearing down on him with such confidence that he took it for a French vessel despite its flag. Their (the English) pretentions are so great that they believed the vessel to be of their own nationality. What will surprise you, perhaps, is the fact that this vessel carrying 16guns, 12 swivel guns, 4 grenade mortars, a crew of 92 men.idepatch- ed to Halifax with despatches to Holbourne, surrendered at the first shot from M. de Tourville. Since the accident of Le Tonnant all hands on board are working day and night at the repairs in the hope of saving her. The general neglects nothing that may expedite the work, with a view of bringing her back to France, but in spite of the short-! ening of rations which he made throughout the fleet, the reserve of stores forced him to decide on leaving before the last moment, and he would do nothing else though thel separation was very painful to him. The happy arrival of L'Appollon however, two days before our intended de] parture, caused him much pleasure, and he determined to postpone leaving until the work was completed, a time we awaited with patience, being in a roadstead where wej had no protection, and where the rough weather caused us several times to apprehend! further disaster, but happily none came. During the time we were waiting there came into port 3 boats and schooners,! equipped by the merchants of Louisbourg as privateers, bringing 14 or 15 English ves-l sels. On the 29th when we were all ready to sail, the wind became too strong and we had to defer it till the morrow, the 30th, when the weather was very fine until one! o'clock in the afternoon, when we were becalmed. The squadron started with the exception of L'Eveillé which grounded on a bank,] where she remained some time, and then got off happily without accident. Le Diadème and our own ship had to anchor in the channel, as we found that thel wind from the open sea opposed our leaving and at the same time threatened rough weather, we therefore returned to the head of the roadstead ; towards evening fog setj in and the wind from the east south-east freshened with very heavy rain during thel night. This gave rise to some anxiety concerning our fleet, which was off the coast. They were still in sight at midnight, and remained in the calm. Amongst them was Lm Défenseur, and as the currents drove her westwards, she anchored under Portenovel half a league off shore, but the roughness of the weather drove her thence and she had! to cut her cable, hoist her sails, and enter the roadstead by 6 a.m. As command ant, I went on board at 7 a.m. to take orders. The wind veered to the east north-eastl quite fresh with snow in abundance. At noon Le Diadème dragged her anchor, makl ing signals of distress ; we sent her some assistance at once ; for a time it looked as ill she would be wrecked on the reefs of the Islet, but happily she recovered herself inl spite of the heavy wind which was blowing. The next day, the 1st of November, we sailed] from the roadstead for France, at about 10.30 a.m., a long looked for departure, but il was not made without accident for we had nine men wounded by anchor cordage whicll broke, and we came near being thrown ashore. On the morning of the 9th we sighted m squadron of 13 ships slightly to leeward heading in the same direction as we were. W<| made towards them, and at noon were about one league and a half, as they answered oui signals, we recognized them as some of ouk own nationality. We joined them, each oncl taking his own position in the line. On the evening of the 11th, we passed through J gale which became very violent during the night, so that we were obliged to shorten sail until next day, the 12th. About 3 p.m., the wind having calmed down, our general gave the signal to reform ; the sea was very rough and our ship laboured heavily. Oil the 19th at 10 p.m. a frightful hurricane arose as did the sea also, this obliged us tJ shorten sail on the mizzen-mast, which was instantly carried away. The following daj at 5 a.m. the wind shifted from S.W. to W.N.W. in a frightful squall, but fortunatel] did not last long and eased the tempest. On the 24th whilst giving chase to an Engl lish ship we lost our main top-mast, and immediately set to work to replace it. L* Diadème overtook the chase and attacked her, and for an hour and a half the fight wal briskly maintained on both sides. Seeing that hë chase led us towards the Britisll L'INFLEXIBLE SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 Channel, the general gave the signal for us to resume our formation, and we continued our course The sad condition of the whole fleet made us long to reach France more than half the cre<vs were sick and the remainder worn out with fatigue so that we | could not manoeuvre. 8 ' On the 23rd before one p.m. we sighted Ushant, and at 9.15 we anchored in the roadstead at Brest. - jWe lost during this voyage 5 officers, seven midshipmen! and 2 000 in addition to bringing.back more than 2,400 sick. Such is the end of a'sad I sailors I cruise. 18—61* II 5-6 EDWARD VII SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 A. 1906 PART IX GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF LA BEAUCE, P. Q. M. l'abbé CHARLES BEAUMONT.

GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF LA BEAUCE SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 243 PREFACE The | Genealogy of the Families of La Beauce " printed in this volume will enable the families of that vast district to trace their origin with a degree of certainty. It is the work of a worthy priest, Mesire Charles Beaumont, who devoted years of patient research to the accomplishment of this patriotic service to his country. M. Charles Beaumont was born at Charlesbourg on the 2nd November, 1820, issue of the marriage of Jacques Beaumont and Agathe Pageau. He was educated at Quebec and ordained priest on the 23rd of June, 1844, and became vicar of Ste Anne de Beaupré. In 1849* he was appointed curé of St. Féréol, in 1852 curé of fe' Etienne, in 1853 curé of S' Hénédine, in 1862 curé of S' Michel, and, towards the end of the same year, curé of S' Joachim. He retired from the ministry and went to reside at Ange Gardien, where he died on the 2nd of September, 1889. He was burried a.t Charlesbourg, his native parish. We are indebted to the Rev. Edward Carrier, curé of St. Joseph, for permission to publish jfchis volume. P. M. O'LEARY, Ptre. 18—16A** — 5-6 EDWARD VII SESSIONAL PAPtZR No. 1( A. 1906 ARCHIVES DE LA PAROISSE DE LA BEAUCE.

Dès 1737 elle était déjà desservie comme mission d'abord par le R. P. François Carpentier, Récollet et dans la suite par d'autres missionnaires, dont sept religieux récollets. La paroisse de St-François comprenait dans l'origine toute la seigneurie de Rigaud-Vau dreuil, soit une étendue de 9 milles de front sur 12 de profondeur ; elle fut démembrée dans la suite pour former St-Victor de Trihg (1871) et plus tard St-Benjamin.

La première chapelle fut construite vers 1750 et subsista jusqu'en 1783 ; de 1783 à 1803, les offices eurent lieu dans une chapelle temporaire, qui fut démolie pour faire place à une autre également démolie en 1855 et remplacée par l'église actuelle.

Son établissement remonte presqu'aux temps même du fondateur de Québec, car on trouve que des colons s'y étaient fixés des 1640 ; cependant sa première chapelle ne fut bâtie que près d'un siècle plus tard en 1737. Cette première construction fut remplacée par une nouvelle église construite en bois en 1764. Comme elle menaçait ruine elle fut démolie pour faire place à une autre en 1785 laquelle à son tour fut remplacée par l'église actuelle, magnifique édifice en pierre, construit en 1867. Dès l'origine St-Joseph fut visité par les missionnaires, à des époques éloignées, jusqu'en 1738 lorsqu'une desserte régulière fut organisée.
