The  copy  filmed  here  hes  been  reproduced  thanks 
to  the  generosity  of: 

Library 

Indian  and  Northern  Affairs 

The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmad 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  pagb  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  —^  (meaning  "COIM- 
TIIMUED"),  or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method: 


L'exemplaire  filmd  fut  reproduit  grdce  d  la 
g6n6rosit6  de: 

Bibllothique 

Affaires  indiennes  et  du  Nord 

Les  images  suivantes  ont  6t6  reproduites  avec  le 
plus  grand  soin,  compte  tenu  de  la  condition  et 
de  la  nettetd  de  l'exemplaire  filmd,  et  en 
conformity  avec  les  conditions  du  contrat  de 
filmage. 

Les  exemplaires  originaux  dont  la  couverture  en 
papier  est  imprimde  sont  filmds  en  commengant 
par  le  premier  plat  et  en  terminant  soit  par  la 
dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinte 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration,  soit  par  le  second 
plat,  selon  le  cas.  Tous  les  autres  exemplaires 
originaux  sont  filmds  en  commenpant  par  la 
premidre  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinte 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration  et  en  terminant  par 
la  dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  telle 
empreinte. 

Un  des  symboles  suivants  apparaitra  sur  la 
dernidre  image  de  cheque  microfiche,  selon  le 
cas:  le  symbols  -♦•  signifie  "A  SUIVRE",  le 
symbols  V  signifie  "FIN". 

Les  cartes,  planches,  tableaux,  etc.,  peuvent  dtre 
filmds  6  des  taux  de  r6duction  diffdrents. 
Lorsque  le  document  est  trop  grand  pour  dtre 
reproduit  en  un  seul  cliche,  il  est  filmd  d  partir 
de  I'angle  supdrieur  gauche,  de  gauche  d  droite, 
et  de  haut  en  bas.  en  prenant  le  nombre 
d'images  ndcessaire.  Les  diagrammes  suivants 
illustrent  la  m^thode.

The  pUn  BuggoBtod  by  Brigadier  General  Waldo  to  Pitt  for  the  reduction  of 
LoaiBbonrg  in  1768  (doIo  A)  is  bo  clearly  drawn  from  his  experience  whilst  in 
command  of  the  land  forces  at  the  reduction  of  theBarao  place  in  1746,  that  it  Hcems 
doBlrable  to  call  attention  to  Bome  of  the  incidents  of  the  first  siege  for  the  purpose 
of  comparison. 

The  ottaok  on  Louisbourg  in  1745  was  decided  on  entirely  by  the  AsBcmbly 
of  MasBachusettfl,  under  pressure  from  Shirley,  the  Governor.    The  idea  appears  to 
have  taken  practical  shape  in  the  mind  of  Shirley  after  the  arrival  at  Boston  of 
exchanged  British  officers  from  Louisbourg,  bringing  such  accounts  of  the  state  of 
the  garrison  and  inhabitants  as  induced  him  to  bring  the  subject  before  the  Assem- 
bly. (For   the   mutinous   state   cf  the  garrison  and  its  causes,  see  Ferland's  Cours 
d'Histoire,  part  ii,  pp.  475  et  seq).  The  first  decision  of  the  Assembly  was,  that  the 
undertaking  was  too  groat  for  the  abilities  of  the  Province,  but  that  it  was  ready 
to  contribute  towards  the  prosecution  of  an  expedition  undertaken  by  the  Crown. 
A  second  delibeiation  led  to  a  differont  resolution,  adopted  by  thonarrow  mojority 
of  one  vote,  by  which  it  was  decided  to  attempt  the  reduction  of  Capo  B  ^ton,  to 
enlist  3,000  volunteers,  subsequently  increased  to  3,260;  to    make  the   neceasary 
arrangements  for  victualling  and  transport,  besides  providing  a  naval  force  to  act 
as  a  convoy.  Application  was  made  to  the  other  colonies  to  furnish  their  quotas  of 
men  and  ships;  a  despatch  was  sent  to  the  Imperial  authorities  and  a  request  to 
Commodore  Warren,  then  at  Antigua,  for  his  assistance  with  such  ships  as  could  bo 
spared.  Without  waiting  for  an  answer  to  any  of  these  applications,  preparations 
were  at  once  begun  for  the  expedition.  The  vote  of  the  Assembly  was  taken  on  the 
25th  of  January,  1745,  and  in  seven  weeks  after  the  Governor  had  issued  his  procla- 
■mation  in  accordance  with  the  resolution,  the  ships  of  war  were  ready  for  sea,  the 
largest  being  almost  wholly  built  in  that  time ;   the  transports  were  provided ;'  tho 
provisions,  artillery,  ordnance  and  other  stores  shipped,  and  the  troops  embarked 
at  Boston.    Even  before  that  date,  several  armed  vessels  were   stationed  before 
Louisbourg  to  keep  intelligence  and  supplies  from  getting  in,  and  it  was  only  on 
the  arrival  of  the  combined  fleets  (for  Warren  had  joined  at  Canso)  that  the  com- 
mander at  Louisbourg  knew  that  an  attack  was  projected.    For  the  present  pur- 
pose,  it  is  unnecessary  to  give  the  general  history  of  the  events  attending  the 
expedition,  beyond  tho  refusal  of  Warren  to  co-operate,  a  refusal  which  reached 
Shirley  tho  day. before  the  eailinf?  of  the  colonial  fleet,  and  was  concealed  by  him 
from  all  but  Pepperell  and  Waldo,  the  two  commanders  of  the  expedition,  evidently 
in  the  belief  that  if  it  were  known  that  Massachusetts  must  herself  conduct  the 
enterprise  single-handed,  the  Assembly  would  withdraw  from  a  danger  which  tho 
members  had  been  most  unwillingly  led  to  incur.    That  Warren  did,  nevertheless, 
co-operate,  was  in  consequence  of  orders  sent  direct  from  London,  in  answer  il- 
the  communication  forwarded  to  the  Ministry  by  Shirley.

In  the  printed  accounts  of  the  operations  there  is  great  confasion  as  to  dates. 
Most,  although  not  all,  of  this  confusion,  will  disappear  if  it  be  borne  in  mind  that 
in  1752  the  new  stylo  of  reckoning  time  was  adopted,  but  that  its  use  crept  in 
gradually,  some  retaining  the  old,  others  using  the  new,  between  which  there  was 
adiflforenceof  eleven  days.  Hutchinson  (History  of  Massachusetts,  1161),  Douglass 
(Sammary  of  the  Political  History  of  the  Colonies,  1160),  and  an  anonymoos 
writer  (Memoirs  of  the  Principal  Transactions  of  the  last  War,  1767),  give  the 
30th  of  April,  1745,  as  tha  day  of  the  arrival  at  Gabarus  Bay.  Jeflfery  (Natural 
and  Civil  History,  1760),  says  it  was  the  11th  of  May,  the  dates  of  landing  agree- 
ing, if  the  difference  between  the  old  and  now  styles  bo  taWn  into  account. 
A  portion  of  ttie  troops  landed  that  afternoon,  a  little  south  of  Louisbourg,  being 
opposed  by  about  100  French  regulars,  24  from  a  Swiss  company.  The  defenders 
lost  8  men  killed  and  ton  taken  prisoners.    The  New  Bnglauders  suffered  no  loss. 

On  the  2nd  of  May,  according  to  Douglass,  a  date  confirmed  by  the  large  plan 
published  with  Waldo's  proposal  at  note  A,  400  men  of  the  colonial  troops  were 
sent  round,  under  cover  of  the  hills,  to  the  northeast  harbour  of  Louisbourg.  The 
smoke  from  the  burning  of  the  storehoasos  and  fish  stages  there,  which  had  been 
set  on  fire  by  this  detachment,  so  alarmed  the  French  troops  that  they  retired  pre- 
cipitately from  the  Grand  Battery  without  disabling  the  artillery.  It  was  entered 
next  day  and  taken  charge  of  by  Waldo. 

The  work  done  by  Iho  colonial  t.oops  in  1745  was  such  as  to  inspire  Waldo 
■with  confidence  in  the  success  of  the  plan  he  laid  before  Pitt,  in  1757,  for  an  attack 
on  Louisbourg  by  a  largo  combined  military  and  naval  force  early  in  the  following 
epring.  Within  twonty-throo  days  from  the  time  of  the  landing  in  1745,  the 
colonial  troops  had  erected  five  fascine  batteries  against  the  town,  mounted  with 
42,  2i  and  ISpoundcrs ;  mortars  of  13,  11  and  9  inches  diameter,  and  some  cohornei. 
These  had  to  bo  transported  for  two  miles  over  a  morass,  so  deep  that  the  cannon 
sunk  in  it  out  of  sight ;  horses  and  oxen  were  of  no  use,  nor  could  wheels  be 
employed.  Everything  had  to  be  done  by  the  men  themselves,  although  1,500  of 
them  at  one  time  were  incapable  of  duty  from  fluxes.  Sleighs  were  made  by  which 
the  cannon  and  mortars  weio  transported  by  men  accustomed  to  working  in  the 
woods,  and  who,  on  this  occasion,  were  knee  deep  in  mud  and  water  for  days,  with 
cold  nights,  from  the  offoots  of  which  they  had  no  proper  tents  to  guard  them* 
They  knew  nothing  of  scierce;  laughed  at  the  technical  names  used  by  the  engi 
noers  in  laying  oat  the  approaches,  anl  wont  on  with  their  work  undc  cover  of  tho 
darkness,  no  lights  being  allowed,  as  these  served  as  a  mark  for  the  French  artil- 
lerymen. On  tho  30th  of  April  tho  combined  forces  under  Pepperell  and  Warren 
had  reached  Louisbourg  ;   by  the  17th  of  June  it  had  capitulated. 

That  the  expedition,  had  it  been  carried  on  by  Massachusetts  alone,  would 
have  been  unsuccessful,  was  an  opinion  held  at  the  time,  and  there  seems  to  be  little 
reason  to  change  that  opinion  now.    Hutchinson,  whoso  favourable  estimitoof

In  1730  he  purchased  the  rights  of  the  heirs  to  the  remains  of  any  claim  that 
might  still  exist  to  the  Stirling  grants  in  Nova  Sootia  and  New  England,  and  a. 
proprietor  of  the  lands  in  Nova  Sootia.  attempted  to  effect  their  settlement     lu 
the  document  he  prepared  with  this  end  in  view,  the  history  of  the  transfers  of  the 
grant  originally  made  to  Sir  William  Alexander,  of  Menstrie,  by  James  V£  of  Scot- 
land, in  ie21.  is  succinctly  given.    The  proposals,  with  summary,  will  be  fo^^^  'it 
Boto  B,  taken  from  the  documents  relating  to  the  Stirling  peerage,  p.  UO.    An 
account  of  these  documents  is  given  in  report  on  Archives  for  1881,  pp.  24.  25,  and 
by  these  a  clear  proof  is  afforded  of  the  groundlessness  of  the  claims  set  up  by  the 
American.  William  Alexander,  in  1757,  and  of  those  by  Humphrys  at  a  later  date, 
to  the  benefit  of  the  grants  made  to  Sir  William  Alexander  in  1621. 


The  Journal    of  Legardeur  S^  Pierre  (note  0)  throws  light  upon  the 
expedition  made  by  him  and  Marin  for  the  discovery  of  a  western  sea.    So  far  as 
I  can  ascertain,  it  has  never  been  published.    An  account  of  the  leading  events  m 
the  life  of  St.  Pierre  being  easily  accessible,  details  would  be  out  of  place  in  this 
report     His  long  connection  with,  and  the  ascendency  he  had  succeeded  in  obtam- 
ingover  the  Indians,  pointed  him  out  as  a  fit  successor  to  LaVerend rye  in  the 
command  of  the  expedition  for  the  discovery  of  the  western  sea.  of  which  the  jour- 
nal gives  an  account.    On  his  return  he  was  appointed  to  the  command  of  Fort 
LeBoeuf.  where  he  received  Washington,  sent  to  demand  that  the  French  should 
oive  up  their  plans  for  holding  possesrion  t)f  the  Ohio,  as  being  a  violation  of  the 
treaty.    In  1755  he,  with  a  party  of  Indians,  formed  part  of  Dieskau's  expedition 
to  Lac  3t.  Sacrement  (Lake  George),  where  he  was  killed,  whilst  Dieskau  was  try- 
ing  to  draw  the  British  forces  into  an  ambuscade. 

Smith  (History  of  Canada,  1815.  Vol.  I.,  pp.  215,  216),  states  that  St.  Pierre 
and  Marin  went  on  the  western  expedition  with  the  sole  intention  of  making 
money  ;  that,  being  perfectly  indifferent  to  the  discovery,  they  proceeded  but  a 
^hort  distance  in  the  Indian  country  and  returned,  their  attention  having  bean 
taken  up  in  the  collection  of  fars.  of  which  they  brought  vast  quantities  to  Qaebec, 
^here  they  netted  to  each  individual  of  the  partnership  (of  which  St.  Pierre  was 
one)  an  enormous  profit.  Smith  does  not  quote  his  authority.  He  is  copied  by 
aucceeding  writers,  who  refer  to  him  as  their  guide.  Bibaud's  account  is.  m  fact, 
Almost  a  literal  translation  from  Smith. 

St.  Pierre  and  Marin  were  appointed  by  de  la  Jonquidre.  who  succeeded  de  la 
Galissoniere,  as  Governor  of  Canada.  The  character  of  de  la  Jonqui&re  is  painted 
in  dark  colours,  his  avarice  and  greed  being  represented  as  of  the  mo.t  exagge- 
rated  kind,  as  an  instance  of  which,  the  story  is  told  of  his  anxiety,  when  at  the 
point  of  death,  to  save  the  expenditure  even  of  candle  ends.  Ferland,  quoting  frorn 
an  author  whom  he  does  not  name,  says  that  de  la  Jonquidre  died  of  grief,  caused

by  tho  charges  brought  against  him  with  rospoot  to  his  share  in  tho  trade  at  tho 
posts.  (Coura  d'Histoire,  part  IE,  pp.  503-1)  It  is  not  impossible  that  tho  fact 
of  St.  Pierre  and  Marin  having  been  appointed  by  do  la  Jooqaidro  may  have  trans- 
ferred to  them  part  of  tho  odium  in  which  he  was  hold. 

In  the  defence  of  Bigot,  prepared  by  his  oounsol,  the  charges  against  him  are 
taken  ap  in  detail.  The  second  part  deals  with  the  accusations  in  respect  to  the 
fur  trade,  and  although  tho  names  of  other  participants  in  this  business,  charged 
with  obtaining  illicit  profits,  aro  mentioned,  that  of  St.  Pierre  doe=}  not  appear. 
The  absence  of  any  reference  to  him  in  this  defence  gives  a  certain  amount  of  pro- 
bability to  the  belief  that  ho  was  not  guilty  as  charged.  The  writer  of  tho  '•  Men- 
oires  aur  les  affaires  du  Canada,  1749  d  1760,"  published  by  the  Quebec  Literary  and 
Historical  Society  in  1873,  says  at  page  10,  referring  to  St.  Pierre's  being  selected 
to  command  the  western  expedition,  that  the  partners,  for  their  own  interest, 
could  not  have  done  better  than  entrust  to  him  that  position,  as  "to  a  perfect 
knowledge  of  the  Indian  trade,  he  joined  great  integrity."  Tho  Journal  will,  how- 
ever, show  what  St.  Pierre's  proceedings  wore.  The  blanks  left  in  tho  dates  aro 
given  as  in  tho  original,  as  is  tho  date  (25th  August,  1752)  of  a  letter  received 
from  Iho  Marquis  Du  Quesne,  which  is  evidently  an  error.  I  have  added  a  transla- 
tion of  the  Journal. 

As  a  complement  to  the  Journal,  tho  despatch  on  tho  sama  subjoet,  from  Sir 
Guy  Carleton  to  Lord  Shelburne,  dated  2nd  March,  1766,  is  of  interest.  His  refer- 
ence to  a  poesible  trade  to  the  Pacific  from  the  East  Indies,  shows  tho  ideas  held  by- 
Sir  Guy  Carleton  120  years  ago.  In  this  he  probably  represented  the  bant  of  tho 
opinions  of  the  merchants  of  that  day.  The  list  of  the  French  posts,  with  their 
officers,  men  and  canoes,  is  also  given  (Note  D), 


When,  on  the  9th  September,  1760,  Montreal  surrendered,  it  was  agreed 
between  Amherst  and  Vaudreuil,  and  embodied  in  the  Articles  of  Capitulation, 
that  two  f^li'ps  were  to  be  provided  to  carry  to  Prance  the  Chevalier  do  L6vi8,  the 
principal  officers  and  staff  of  the  land  forces,  the  engineers,  officers  of  artillery  and 
their  domestics  (Article  XIV).  A  vessel  was  to  be  appointed  for  M.  Bigot,  the 
Intendaiit,  and  his  suite  (XV).  The  necessary  and  convenient  vessels  were  to  be 
ordered  for  M.  de  Longneuil,  Governor  of  Trois  Eividres,  the  staff  of  the  colony, 
and  the  Commissary  of  the  Marino  (XVI).  Tho  officeri  and  soldiers,  as  well  of  the 
land  forces  as  of  the  colony,  and  also  the  marine  officers  and  seamen  who  were  in 
"the  colony,  were  likewise  to  be  embarked  for  France  in  sufficient  and  convenient 
vessels,  provision  to  be  made  for  the  wives  and  families  of  the  married,  together 
with  the  servants  and  baggage  of  the  officers  and  the  haversacks  and  baggage  of 
the  soldiers  (XVII).  The  baggage  remaining  in  the  fields,  of  the  officers,  soldiers 
And  followers  of  the  troops,  could  be  sent  for  without  hindrance  or  molestation

^VIII).  Hospital  Bhips  were  to  be  provided  for  the  Bitk  and  wounded  who  could 
Wromoval.and  subsequently  for  the  others  when  they  had  Buffloiently  recovered 
(JLIiJ.  It  was  also  agreed  that  ships  should  be  provided  for  carrying  to  Prance 
the  officers  of  the  Supreme  Council,  of  justice,  police,  admiralty  and  all  other 
officers  having  commissions  or  brevets  from  His  Most  Christian  Majesty ;  their 
lam.hes,  servants,  Ac,  being  included,  as  in  the  case  of  the  other  officers  (XXI) 
All  were  to  be  victualled  at  the  expense  of  His  Britannic  Majesty.  By  Article 
^XV,  passages,  with  the  same  privileges,  wore  to  te  given  to  the  officers  of  the 
India  Company. 

On  the  11th  September,  1160,  two  days  after  Vaudreuilhad  signed  the  Articles 
^Capitulation,  General  Amherst  wrote  to  Haldimand  that  he  had  made  arrange- 
ments for  the  vessels  to  convey  the  French   officers  to   France,  the  "  Molcneux  " 

rrTr.?'.t  ^^  ^''  ^«'«^'"*°'  f«r  '^^  Marquis  de  Vaudreuil  and  suite;  the 
Wolfe,    Captain  Oliver,  for  the  Intendent.    Plat  bottomed   boats  had  been  pro- 
Tided  for  the  conveyance,  alongside  of  the  vessels,  of  the  baggage  of  these  gentle- 
«en.    Two  other  ships,  not  named,  had  been  engaged,  one  for  the  passage  of  the 
Chevalier  de  Livis  and  suite ;  the  other  for  the  engineers  and  officers  of  the  staff 
(B.  1,  p.  126).    On  the  13th,  a  detail  of  th«  arrangement  for  embarkation  was  sent 
^Amherst,  and  on  the  same  day  the  arrangements  for  the  conveyance  of  the 
French  troops,  then  at  the  Bay  of  Chaleurs,  were  also  communicated ;  officers  of 
the  sUff,  with  detachments,  wore  sent  to  Quebec  and  to  the  Bay  of  Chaleurs  to 
Berve  as  a  guard  during  the  embarkation,  and  Amherst  says,  in  his  last  letter,  that 
Jie  would  be  charmed  if  the  Battalion  of  Beam  and  the  two  of  de  Berry  could  set 
off  on  that  day.     (B.  1,  p.  130).    At  note  B  will  be  found  interesting  lists  of  the 
Bhips,  the  names  cf  the  officers  embarked,  the  names  of  the  regiments,  the  number 
of  the  tioops,  &c.  There  arc,  besides,  the  nr.mesof  all  holding  office  in  the  Govern- 
ment of  Canada  at  the  date  of  the  Conquest,  and  other  information.    These  lists  I 
iave  not  considered  it  necessary  to  translate.    The  names  of  those  who  perished 
on  board  the  "  Auguste  "  differ  slightly  from  those  given  by  St.  Luc  de  la  Corne 
>n  his  Journal  of  the  voyage.  Although  the  diflference  is  not  great,  the  accompany,

The  attempted  settlement  of  t,he  Eod  River  country,  begun  by  Lord  Selkirk 
In  1811,  is  of  peculiar  interest  now,  when  such  rapid  changes  are  taking  place  ia 
that  region  and  in  the  North- West  Territories.  It  is  well  known  that  the  Hud- 
Bon's  B^y  Company  obtained  a  charter  in  1670  from  Charles  the  Second,  under  tho 
name  ofthe  Company  of  Adventurers  of  England  trading  into  Hudson's  Bay,  th» 
iur  trade  being  the  principal  business  carried  on  for  many  years  under  its  pro- 
TisionB.  But  the  trade  was  not  left  in  their  hands  without  opposition  from  th^

much  of  the  land  in  that  vicinity  when  first  settled ;  not  leas  than  42  of  the  original 
111  aottlere  having,  it  is  stated,  died  daring  the  first  year.  (W.  H.  Smith's  Oanads, 
18fi'i,  vol.  I,  p.  2).  It  was  also  known  as  the  settlement  on  the  Chenal  Eoartd,  as 
appears  by  a  letter  from  Lord  Selkirk's  agent  at  Amhertttbarg,  to  the  Oommissary 
■at  that  post  (ot  provitjioDS,  on  the  lOlh  of  November,  1804,  in  which  ho  said  that  he 
'had  recoivod  information  from  Lord  Selkirk's  agent  at  Chenaille  Ecarto  (Chenal 
Ecartd)  "  that  there  was  but  one  barrel  and  a  half  of  pork  in  store,  which  woald 
soon  be  expended,  and  that  unless  an  immediate  supply  was  made,  the  sottlem 
might  suffer  from  the  want  of  that  necessary  article  "  (G.  363,  p.  44).  In  accord* 
anco  with  this  request  Oapt.  filearairo,  commanding  at  Amhcrstburg,  gave  orders 
for  a  supply  to  be  sent,  on  receiving  security  for  its  repayment,  of  which  he  advised 
the  military  secretary  in  a  letter  dated  15th  January,  180S  (C.  3t!3,  p.  45).  Writing^ 
from  London,  on  the  1st  of  February  of  the  same  year,  to  Lieut-Geaoral  Hunter, 
Lord  Selkirk  speaks  of  the  sickness  that  prevailed  in  his  new  settlement  at 
^*  Baldoon,  on  the  Chenal  Ecarto,"  which  he  had  apprehended,  as  the  situation, 
from  the  local  cironmotances,  could  not  become  healthy  *'  till  the  adjacent  islands 
•can  be  appropriated  and  improved,"  and  concludes  by  asking  for  a  grant  of 
additional  lots  to  some  of  his  settlers  in  theShawanese  township  adjacent  and  hoped 
that  Mr.  Macdonell  might  be  allowed  to  negotiate  with  the  Indians  for  t^^e  necessary 
land  (C.  363,  p.  47)  Alexander,  not  Mile?,  was  his  agent  at  the  Baldoon  settlement 
(C.  363,  p.  60).  On  the  report  of  Meas^rs.  Chewett  and  Kidout,  Joint  Surveyor 
'General,  dated  22nd  May,  1805  (p.  51)  the  request  was  refasad  (p.  53). 

The  destitution  to  which  Lord  Selkirk's  settlers  had  been  reduced  at  Baldoon 
is  clear  from  the  correspondence. 

The  second  change  was  that  to  Prince  Edward  Island,  800  emigrants  having 
been  landed  there  during  the  same  year  that  the  Baldoon  settlement  was  formed 
(1803).     The  reason  for  this  is  stated  by  Lord  Selkirk  himself,  who  says: — 

"  I  waa  given  to  understand  that  it  would  bo  more  satisfactory  to  Government 
if  the  people  I  had  engaged  were  sotlled  in  a  maritime  situation  instead  of  that  I 
had  at  first  in  coritomplation.  I  waa  by  no  moans  'satisfied  that  iho  suggestion 
was  founded  in  just  views  of  national  policy.  Nevertheless,  I  thought  it  my  duty, 
under  ail  the  circumstances  of  the  case,  toaoquiesco,  anddotermiood  on  making  my 
settlement  in  Prince  Edward  Island,  in  thoGulf  of  St.  Lawrenoe."  (Observations, 
Ac,  1805,  p.  6.) 

The  bitterness  of  feeling  which  existed  between  the  N.W.  and  X.Y.  Companies 
may  be  seen  from  the  concluding  sentence  of  a  letter  written  by  Forsyth,  Biohard- 
eon  &  Co.,  on  the  23rd  December,  1333.  They  say  :  "  By  last"  advices  the  grand 
crisis  was  considered  as  not  being  far  distant,  and  we  fervently  pray  that  it  may 
terminate  in  the  ruin  and  disgrace  of  our  unprincipled  enemy."     (0.  363,  p.  41.) 

This  state  of  feeling  must  soon  have  ceased  to  exist,  as  in  1805  the  two  com- 
panies reunited.  The  union  was  not  followed  by  any  improvement  in  the  condition 
of  affairs  in  the  North- West.    According  to  the  statement  of  Mr.  Edward  Bllioa

before  the  Committeo  of  the  (Britiah)  House  of  Commons,  on  the  Hudson's  Bay 
charter,  ip  IBS'?,  "The  competition  of  the  two  Canadian  companies  against  each 
other,  and,  after  their  junction,  their  joint  competition  against  the  Hudson's  Bay 
Company,  were  conducted  with  great  extravagance.  There  had  been  frequent 
collisions  between  the  Indians  and  the  whites,  and  gradually  everything  became 
woise,  until  about  the  year  1811."    (Evidence,  question  5778.) 

It  wag  at  this  time  that  Lord  Selkirk  entered  into  close  connection  with  the 
Hudson's  Bay  Company.  According  to  the  statement  of  his  opponents,  His  Lord- 
ship's first  intention  was  simply  to  purchase  shares  in  the  company  as  a  stock- 
jobbing operation,  but  an  examination  of  the  rights  conferred  by  the  charter, 
having  enlarged  his  views  of  the  power  and  privileges  of  the  company,  he  invested 
to  the  extent  of  £40,000,  the  total  amount  of  stock  being  £100,000.  It  was,  con- 
tinue his  opponents,  by  the  influence  this  gave  him,  that  he  was  able  to  obtain  a 
grant  of  116,000  nquare  miles,  notwithstanding  the  opposition  of  other  share- 
holders. (Narrative,  1817,  pp.  3  to  6),  The  Earl's  own  statement  is,  that  the 
shareholders  who  opposed  were  partners  of  the  North-West  Company,  and  had 
purchased  such  shares  as  were  in  the  market,  for  the  purpose  of  offering  a  factious 
opposition  to  any  proposal  he  had  to  bring  forward.  Mr.  Edwaid  Ellico,  in  his 
evidence  before  the  Committee  of  the  House  of  Commons,  already  referred  to  sub- 
stantially confirms  the  statement  of  Lord  Selkirk's  interest  in  the  company  and 
the  acquisition  of  the  land,  vrhich  he  states  was  given  as  a  free  grant,  adding,  that 
after  his  connection  with  the  company  its  movements  became  moro  active.  No 
sooner  was  the  grant  made  than  a  prospectus  was  issued  in  the  United  Kingdom, 
immediate  preparations  were  made  for  its  settlement,  and  Mr.  Miles  Maodonell  was 
appointed  to  take  charge  of  the  arrangements  for  obtaining  and  settling  the  colon- 
ists on  the  Eed  fJiver.  The  letters  in  note  F,  taken  from  Capt.  Macdonell's  letter- 
book,  addressed  to  Lord  Selkirk  and  others,  give  a  narrative,  almost  from  day  to 
day,  of  the  occurrences  preceding  the  shipment  up  till  the  time  when  the  emigrants 
reached  the  Eed  Eiver. 

The  Miles  Maodonell,  thus  appointed,  generally  but  erroneously  described  as  a 
captain  in  the  Queen's  Bangers,  was  born  in  Inverness,  Scotland,  in  1767.  In  1779 
he  was  at  Carleton  Island  with  his  father,  a  loyalist  refugee  from  Tryon  County  in 
the  State  of  New  York,  who  held  the  rank  of  captain  in  the  King's  Koyal  Eegiment 
of  New  York,  of  which  Sir  John  Johnson  was  Colonel.  Miles  received,  in  1782 
his  commission  as  ensign  in  the  same  corps,  and  served  till  its  reduction  in  1784 
(C.  793,  p.  68).  Shortly  after  the  close  of  the  war,  he  returned  to  Scotland  and  in 
1788,  at  the  age  of  twenty  one,  he  married  there,  Isabella  Macdonald  of  Morar, 
with  whom  he  came  back  to  Canada  (Miles  was,  it  may  be  mentioned,  thrice  mar- 
ried). In  1794,  he  was  appointed  lieutenant  in  the  second  battalion  of  Royal  Cana- 
dian Volunteers,  to  which  his  father,  John  Maodonell,  Speaker  of  the  Assembly  in 
Upper  Canada,  had  been  gazetted  as  captain  (Simooe  to  Dorchester,  20th  Decern-

is  in  thoHe  terms  : —

"  Captain  Miles  Maodonoll  being  desirous  to  assist  at  the  approaching  election 
in  Glengarry  for  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Parliament,  I  have  to  requoHt.  of  yoa 
to  solicit  HiH  Excolloncy'fl  perminsion  for  him  to  go  down  with  Mr.  SheriiF  MoDo- 
nell,  wlia  propoHOH  to  offer  himself  as  a  candidate  for  one  of  the  ridings  of  that 
Counly,  Captain  McDonoll's  interest,  joined  to  that  which  the  Sheriff  already  pos- 
eesfes  there,  would,  I  make  no  doubt,  secure  the  election  in  favour  of  Mr. 
MoDonell."     (0.  793,  p.  62.) 

After  the  reduction  Miles  lived  in  Glengarry,  some  of  his  letters  being  dated 
from  Osnabuig,  others  from  Cornwall. 

It  is  believed  that  he  was  appointed  to  be  one  of  the  sheriffs  of  Upper  Canada, 
but  this  seems  doubtful.  Mr.  W.  J.  Macdonell,  of  Toronto,  who  was  written  toon 
the  subject,  gives  it  as  a  family  tradition  that  his  uncle  Miles  offered  the  reversion 
of  the  office  to  his  brother  (the  father  of  Mr.  W.  J.  Maodonell)  and  the  Missea 
Macdonell,  of  Broekville,  grand  daughters  of  Miles,  are  positive  that  he  was  shoriflr, 
but  the  evidence  on  the  point  is  not  satisfactory,  and  leads  to  the  belief  that  it  was 
another  Miles  who  hold  the  office,  as  it  is  certain  that  a  Miles  Macdonald  was 
sheriff  in  1808.  In  the  public  and  privatt  correspondence  of  Captain  Miles  Mao- 
donell who  went  to  Eed  River,  there  is  not,  so  far  as  I  have  yet  been  able  to  see, 
a  single  reference  to  his  holding  the  office.  In  the  loyalist  land  grant  book,  his 
name  occurs  interlined  in  red  ink,  as  receiving  a  grant  on  the  11th  November, 
1806,  by  Order  in  Council,  his  name  having  been  omitted  in  1784,  at  which  date 
he  would  be  about  seventeen  years  of  age.  The  difficulty  of  determining  with 
renpect  to  the  question  of  identity  is  largely  increased  in  the  present  case,  as  will 
be  evident  when  the  fact  is  stated,  that  in  the  one  land  grant  book  now  referred 
to,  there  are,  besides  Macdonalds,  84  McDonolls,  nineteen  bein^  :  j?  John. 
The  title  of  Esquire  appears  to  have  been  attached  to  the  names  -■  " '.  ^  I  'ding 
official  positions,  but  the  Miles  Macdonell  entered  in  that  book,  and  who  is  so 
described  as  to  leave  no  doubt  that  he  was  the  same  who  served  at  Carleton  Island, 
is  called  captain,  not  sheriff. 

Leaving  the  qncgtion  undecided,  it  is  evident  that  if  he  wore  one  of  the  sheriffs 
of  Upper  Canada,  >v  tu  n  shrioiralty  extending  from  Glengarry  to  York  (Toronto)

to  take  into  oonaideratlon  the  conditione  nubmitted  for  raising  tho  corps  and

th«  subject,  that  it  appears  the  zoa\  of  tho  settlers  had  far  exceeded  their  ability 
all  steps  towards  raising  the  corps  wore  to  be  abandoned,  bm  compensation  wan  ta 
be  made  to  those  who  had  been  employed  in  services  connected  with  the  formation 
of  the  corps  (C  79G,  p.  61.) 

But  although  that  special  effort  had  been  uosucceMful,  tho  Glengarry  Light 
Infantry  Fencibies  had  been  rained  and  the  offioops  appointed  in  February,  1812 
nearly  two  months  bofore  Lord  Lirrerpool's  letter  was  written,  as  appears  by  a 
memorandum  signed  "Edward  Baynes,  Colonel  Glengarry  Light  Infantry,"  dated 
Srd  November,  1813,  in  which  the  names  of  the  offloors  are  given  CO.  797  dd 
U9-181).  ^  '  *^*^* 

During  the  time  Miles  was  engaged  in  tho  abortive  negotiations  for  raising  » 
Glengarry  corps  he  entered  into  correspondence  with  Lord  Selkirk,  through  whom 
he  transmitted  a  memorial  to  the  Commander-in-chief  for  mililary  employment.  In 
a  letter  dated  London,  6th  December,  1809,  his  Lordship  says  that  he  has  heard  of 
an  opening  regarding  which  he  could  then  enter  into  no  explanation,  "  farther 
than  to  express  ray  conviction,"  the  letter  continues,  "that  if  I  can  succeed  in  obtain- 
ing  it  for  you,  it  will  be  more  advantageous  than  that  which  you  were  desirous  of 
obtaining  last  year,"  and  urges  him  to  be  ready  to  come  to  London  at  a  short  notice. 

On  10th  of  February,  1810,  Lord  Selkirk  acknowledges  receipt  of  a  letter  from 
Captain  Macdonell,  dated  on  the  8th  of  December,  in  whioh  he  asks  for  a  recom- 
mendation that  his  son  should  receive  an  Ensign's  commission.  Tho  son  referred 
to  was  Mr.  Dona.d  tineas  Macdonell,  lato  warden  of  Kingston  Penitentiary,  wha 
received  his  commission  and  served  for  a  number  of  years.  In  this  second  letter. 
Lord  Selkirk  urges  strongly  that  Captain  Macdonell  should  come  to  London, 
although  no  definite  information  can  yet  be  given  him  as  to  the  nature  of  the 
employment;  ho  went  and  was  engaged  to  act  as  Governor  of  the  Bed  River  sotUe- 
ment,  as  already  mentioned. 

The  war  between  the  North  West  Company  and  Lord  Selkirk,  tho  death  of 
Semple,  the  imprisonment  of  Miles  Macdonell  at  Fort  William  and  his  removal  to 
Montreal  by  the  North-West  Company,  and  the  events  of  that  stirring  period  in  tho 


XX 


history  of  the  North- West  have  been  written  on  so  fully  that  it  is  unnecessary  to 
do  itore  than  to  refer  to  them  thus  briefly.  Miles  Macdonell  in  his  later  years 
lived  at  Point  Fortune,  on  the  Ottawa,  where  he  died  in  1828,  in  the  sixty-second 
year  of  his  age. 

A  letter  by  Lord  Selkirk,  dated  29tii  jane,  1811,  addressed  to  Captain 
Macdonelx  whilst  he  was  still  at  Yarmouth,  is  of  interest  as  showing  some  of  the 
plans  entertained  by  His  Lordship.  After  expressing  regret  ai.  the  delay  in  the 
setting  out  of  the  expedition,  which  would  probably  prevent  the  emigrants  from 
reaching  Bed  Eiver  that  season,  he  suggests  as  a  last  resource  certain  employment 
for  tbem.    His  Lordship  says : 

"  There  is  an  object  which  the  company  have  much  at  heart,  but  which  they 
have  not  hitherto  h/>d  sufficient  strength  of  hands  to  accomplish,  viz.,  the  erection 
of  a  new  factory  in  place  of  York,  upon  Seal  Islands,  rear  the  mouth  of  the  Nelson 
Eiver.  If  your  people  were  employed  in  that  object  for  the  winter,  the  company 
would  be  willing  to  pay  their  wages,  and  perhaps  it  may  be  more  advisable  to  do 
this,  than  to  make  an  abortive  attempt  to  reach  the  interior ;  as  by  this  means  you 
conld  set  out  by  the  first  of  the  navigation  in  spring,  and  reach  Eed  Eiver  in  the 
best  of  the  season.  After  all,  this  would  be  a  disagreeable  resource,  as  losing  a 
aeason,  but  it  would  be  better  than  to  run  a  risk  of  being  frozen  up  before  you 
reached  the  point  of  destination. 

"  If  this  resource  is  to  be  adopted,  you  will  of  course  concert  the  details  with 
Mr.  Auld.  I  believe  I  mentioned  that  I  am  anxious  to  have  the  soundings  of 
Nelson  River  taken,  from  Seal  Islands  down  to  the  open  sea.  I  beg  that  while  you 
are  at  York,  you  will  try  to  induce  some  of  the  officers  of  the  ships  to  go  and  mak^ 
the  survey.   I  will  pay  a  handsome  premium  to  the  individual  who  accomplifhes  it."

Great  uncertainty  exists  as  to  the  dates  when  various  public  works  were  con- 
Btrncted  in  Canada.  This  arises  largely  from  the  fact,  that  these  were  executed  by 
the  Imperial  authorities,  and  that  therefore  no  records  exist  in  our  departments 
■which  can  throw  light  on  the  subject.  In  dealing  with  the  documents  relating  to 
the  Selkirk  settlement,  it  was  necessary  to  investigate  some  of  the  contemporary 
events  bearing  upon  the  history  of  Lord  Selkirk's  enterprises.  In  the  course  of 
this  investigation,  a  plan  and  documents  were  found  among  the  Military  Correspon- 
dence (series  C)  in  this  branch,  showing  that  in  1191-8,  the  North- West  Company 
had  built  a  canal  on  the  Canadian  side  of  the  Sault  Ste.  Marie.  This  canal  being 
one  of  the  earliest  built  on  this  continent,  I  thought  it  desirable  to  investigate  the 
whole  question  of  the  construction  of  the  first  canals  inj  Canada,  the  result  of 
which  I  now  beg  to  submit. 

The  report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Public  Works  for  the  year  ending  30th 
June,  186*7,  being  the  last  report  of  the  old  Province  of  Canada,  contains  a  general 
account  of  the  most  important  public  works  of  Upper  and  Lower  Canada,  previous 
to  the  constitutional  change  which  was  about  to  take  place. 

At  page  566  of  this  report,  is  the  following  account  of  certain  of  the  canals,  in. 
theee  words :

Cabcadep,  Cedars  and  Coteau  du  Lao. 

Prior  to  1804,  they  woro  as  follow,  viz. :

These  canals  had  a  depth  of  U  feet  on  tbe  mitre  sills  ofthe  locks,  which  wore 
'oTb'aW'elHoTflour.'''^"  '''"P'^'"^'  '^^'''''  capable  of  can ying  from  30 
In  1804,  the  locks  at  "Split  Rook"  and  "Coteau  du  Lac"  wero  partly 
rebuilt,  and  a  now  canal,  about  half  a  mile  in  length,  with  3  locks,  6  feel  in  width 
between  the  quo.n^posts  o Hho  g^tos,  wa.  constructed  at  the  foot  of  the  CaJades 
instead  of  the  oM  l^rench  locks  at  the  "Faucille  "  and  the  "  Trou  du  Mo^lin/• 
The  error  committed  in  calling  these  French  locks,  arose  from  the  Department 
of  Public  Works  having  ^con  obliged  to  rely  for  information  on  local  tradition,  no 
reference  being  possible  at  the  time  to  documentary  evidence. 

That  these  canals  were  not  built  during  the  French  occupation,  may  be 
inferred  with  certainty  from  the  negative  evidence  of  Bougainville,  who  served 
with  distinction  under  Montcalm  (M^:noire  sur  I'Etit  de  la  Nouvelle  France  1757) 
In  this  J/emo/re.  Bougainville  describes  (p.  79)  the  passage  of  Montcalm  from 
Montreal  upwards,  speaks  of  the  frightful  rapids ;  gives  in  detail  the  names  of  the 
places  passed  ;  describes,  briefly  but  forcibly,  the  Cascades,  the  Buisson  with  its 
strong  current,  the  difficult  navigation  over  the  whole  course,  and  the  porlagiog  at 
various  points,  but  makes  no  mention  anywhere  of  a  canal,  except  in  .peaking  of 
Lachine,  to  which  place,  he  says,  a  canal  from  Montreal  had  long  been  spoken  of 
but  none  built.  It  is  clear,  that  situated  as  the  French  were  after  1757  no  canal 
could  have  been  built  in  the  interval  before  the  Conquest  in  17D9  and  1760. 

Knox,  in  the  second  volume  of  his  "Historical  Journal,"  at  page 458  under 
dale  of  September,  1760,  describes  the  passage  upwards  from  Montreal  and  the 
difficulties  of  navigation,  but  gives  no  hint  of  the  existence  of  a  canal. 

The  positive  evidence  is,  on  the  other  hand,  very  complete.  Colonel  Gother 
Mann,  of  the  Royal  Engineers,  in  his  report  on  tho  state  of  the  canals,  dated  24th 
December,  1800,  says  that  they  woro  first  built  between  1779  and  1783,  and  recom- 
mends  their  enlargement  (0.  38,  pp.  1  to  8).  The  exact  date  of  constraotioa  can 
be  settled  positively  from  the  letters  of  Capt.  Twiss,  the  commanding  officer 
of  the  Royal  Engineers,  under  whose  direction  the  works  were  executed  in  accord- 
anco  with  the  oxxlers  of  Haldimand.  thea  Governor,  who  designed  these  canals

it  in  stated  that  a  very  complete  canal  ia  finished  at  the  C6teau,  by  which  bateaux 
pass  through  three  locks.    (B.  54,  pp.  410-11.) 

On  the  22nd  August,  1T83,  Captain  Twiss  reports  the  progress  of  the  work 
during  the  season  'in  these  terms: — 

"  On  Wednesday  morning  I  left  Montreal  and  visited  (sic)  the  progress  of  the 
several  canals,  which  fully  answer  my  expectations,  and  I  can  aasuro  Your 
Excellency  that  the  whole  will  bo  completed  about  the  30th  September  when  I 
propose  to  discharge  all  the  workmen  employed  there.  In  the  meantime  some 
little  aH8i^tance  will  bo  reL|uired  from  expert  minors,  and  therefore  I  write  by  this 
por-t  to  Lieu^  Hockings  to  direct  him  to  send  here  two  such  as  soon  as  possible. 

"The  canal  at  Mons.  Longuouil's  mill  I  have  directed  to  be  finished,  so  as  best 
to  answer  the  king's  service,  and,  at  the  same  time,  have  insisted  on  Mons  Lon- 
gueuil  paying  a  part  of  the  expenses. 

"  The  money  received  this  year  at  the  several  locks  is  as  follows  :— 

The  Coteau  du  Lac £127    0     0 

Between  the  Cascades  and  the  Trou 46  15     0 


£173  15    0 


^And  when  the  lock  at  the  Split  Hock  is  finished,  the  toll  upon  each  bateau 
will  be  26  shillings,  JNow  supposing  the  private  trade  only  continues  as  for  two 
3  cars  past,  which  has  been  about  260  batteaux  each  year,  the  sum  received 
liimually  will  amount  to  £325  currency,  which  sura  I  think  cannot  fail  of  paying 
al  persons  necessary  to  be  employed,  as  well  as  all  expenses  for  keeping  the 
whole  m  (he  best  repair  possible,  and  whatever  boats  the  king's  service  requires 
•will  of  course  always  pass  free."  (B.  154,  pp.  453-4.) 

It  is  unnocessary  for  the  present  purpose,  to  follow  the  history  of  these  canals 
lurihor,  yet  a  brief  statement  of  the  alterations  made  in  1804,  may  be  useful.     As 
already  stated.  Colonel  Mann,  in  his  report  dated  in  December,  1800,  recommended 
c-rtain  changes  to  be  made  in  the  Canals.    Ho  proposed  to  enlarge  the  opening  of 
the  gates  at  the  Coteau  du  Lac  to  9  feet  6  inches ;  to  give  an  additional  breadth  of 
two  feet  to  the  canals  and  four  feet  to  the  locks  and   to  deepen  the  whole  one  foot 
Bix  inches.    A  sicvlar  enlargement  was  recommended  for  the  canal  at  the  Split 
Kock.     For  the  canals  at  the  Mill  Eapid  and   Cascades,  however,  owing  to  their  j 
bad  condition,  to  their  liability  to  damage  from  ice,  and  to  the  consequent  largo 
annual  exponee  for  their  maintenance,  he  proposed  the  construction  of  one  canal  to 
a^  oid  both  rapids.    "  At  about  nine  hundred  yards,"  he  says, «'  above  the  Cascades^ 
0-.  the  stream  leading  to  the  Grand  or  Ottawa  River,  and  at  nearly  the  same 
distance  above  the  Mill  Rapid  on  the  Cataraqui   River,  a  neck  of  land  is  formed, 
which  presents  a  favourable  situation  for  a  permanent  canal.    The  length  across 
i^  fifteen  hundred  feet  in  a  straight  line  on  the  course  which  I  should  propose  tho 

canal  to  run At  the  extremities  of  the  section  lino  the   waters 

01  the  Cataraqui  or  St.  Lawrence  River  were  thirteen  feet  eight  inches  higher  than 

Ih'.r-eofthe  Ottawa  River I  propose  to  sink  the  canal  threo 

f.-.>t  below  the  surface  of  the  waters  as  they  were  when  the  level  was  taken,  at 
w'Hchporiod  they  were  uncommonly  low.    This  will  be  more  than  sufficient  to

The  additior.al  expenditure  was  due  to  the  difficulties  encountered  in  the 
i^ck  cutting.  The  canal  still  exists;  the  masonry,  however,  is  showing  signs  of 
giving  way,  but  tho  rock  cutting  appears  to  bo  almost  unchanged.  The  gates  are 
no  longer  on  the  locks,  and  owing  to  their  absence,  the  waters  rushing  through 
have  made  a  shoal  at  th,  Ottawa  end.  which  impedes  navigation.  Preparatory  ^to 
improving  tho  channel,  a  dam  has  been  built  nearly  mid-way  between  the  extrem- 
ities of  the  canal,  to  stop  the  flov.  of  water  by  which  tho  silting  was  caused.  The 
remains  of  the  other  canals  are  perfectly  visible.

mand  of  Major  Holmes  had  attacked  the  post,  pillaged  it  of  every  arlicle  of  value 
belonging  to  the  company  and  to  Mr.  Johnston,  and  set  fire  to  all  the  houses, 
stores,  sheds,  &o.  On  the  30th,  he,  with  Mr.  McGillivray  and  ot  hers,  went  to 
Sault  Ste.  Marie,  where  thoy  found  the  ruins  of  the  buildings,  including'the  saw 
mill,  still  smoking,  and  the  schooner  driven  down  to  the  foot  of  the  rapid,  where 
she  had  burned  to  the  water's  edge. 

Seven  years  subsequent  to  that  date  (in  1821)  the  Northwest  Company 
amalgamated  with  the  Hudson's  Bay  Company,  and  new  buildings  were  erected  at 
the  Sault.  On  the  1st  March,  1824,  "Thomas  Thain,  agent  for  tho  Hudson  Bay 
Company  in  Canada,"  wrote  to  Colonel  Darling,  military  secretary,  offering  "  to 
enter  into  such  arrangements  for  the  sale  of  the  buildings  at  present  occupied  by 
the  servants  of  the  company  at  St.  Mary's  as  may  suit  the  views  of  His  Excellencv  " 
(C.  363,  p.  152.)  ^' 

In  the  course  of  the  negotiations  a  plan  of  the  buildings,  &c.,  was  sent,  which 
shows  the  canal,  but  not  the  lock,  there  being  marked,  however,  a  race  to  the  saw 
mill,  which  it  is  stated  on  the  plan  was  built  in  1821  (C.363,  p.  156). 

The  remains  of  the  canal  are  still  visible.  Mr.  Joseph  WiUon,  Collector  of 
Customs  at  tho  Sault,  in  reply  to  inquiries,  reports  that  there  is  a  narrow  channel 
which  if  a  canal  at  all,  was  only  wide  and  deep  enough  for  bateaux  and  canoes.

That  waB'all  that  was  intondod  at  the  time  of  construotion,  as  appoarH  by  a  report 
raado  by  Ouptain  Bruy4re«",  dated  10th  Septorabor,  1802,  which  Htates  :— 

"  The  landing  !h  in  a  bay  inamodiatoly  at  tho  bottom  of  tho  full  on  tho  noareat 
channel  to  the  land  of  the  north  (thoro.  A  Kood  wharf  for  boutH  in  built  at  lliu  land- 
ing, on  which  a  Htorohouso,  60  foot  long,  au  (cot  wide  iti  erected.  Tho  wharf  ia 
|)lankod,  and  pathways  made  and  planked  all  around  it.  Clo!«e  to  the  atoro  a  look 
18  conHtrnclod  for  boats  and  canooH,  being  38  feet  lopg,  8  foot  9  inches  wide.  The 
lower  gate  lot*  down  by  a  wind'ass;  the  upper  hati  two  folding  gatoH  with  a  Hluioe. 
Tho  water  riHos  9  feet  in  the  lock.  A  loading  trough  of  timbtr,  framed  and 
planked,  300  foot  in  lotgth,  8  fool  9  inches  wide,  (J  foot  high,  Bupportod  and  levelled 
on  beams  of  cedar  through  tho  Bwamp  is  conHtructod  to  conduct  the  water  from 
the  canal  to  the  lock.  A  road  raised  and  i)lanked  12  foot  wide  tor  oattlo  extends 
the  whole  length  of  the  trough.  The  canal  begins  at  tho  head  of  it  which  is  a 
channel  cleared  of  rocks  and  the  projecting  points  excavated  to  admit  tho  passago 
of  canoes  and  boats.  This  canal  is  about  :i,6b0  foot  in  length,  with  a  raised  bridge 
or  pathway  of  round  logs  at  tho  side  of  it  12  feet  wide  for  oxen  to  track  tho  boata. 
About  170  feet  from  tho  upper  part  of  the  canal  a  storehouse  is  built  36  feet  long, 
23  ieot  wide.  An  oxoollent  saw  mill  for  two  saws  is  constructed  and  placed  in  a 
lino  with  tho  lock  parallel  to  it."     (0.  382,  p.  216.) 

In  1851  two  petitions  wore  presented  rolativo  to  the  construction  of  a  canal  on 
tho  earn©  side,  one  on  behalf  of  Angus  D.  McDonoU,  of  Toronto,  praying  for  an 
act  of  incorporation  for  the  construction  of  a  ship  canal  around  the  Sanlt,  tho  other 
from  Frederick  Chase  Caprool,  praying  for  a  charter  to  bo  granted  to  him  under 
certain  stipulations  for  a  canal  at  the  Sault  to  connect  Lakes  Superior  and  Huron. 
A  bill  to  incorporate  tho  Sault  Sto.  Marie  Canal  Company,  represented  by  Mr. 
McDoncU,  was  introduced  and  passed  tho  second  reading,  but  on  the  motion  for  a 
third  reading  on  the  22nd  July,  1851,  Mr.  (afterwards  Sir  Francis)  Hincks  moved 
its  rejection,  which  was  seconded  by  Mr.  LaFontaine  and  carried. 

Next  year  (1852)  another  })etition  for  a  charter  was  presented  by  Mr.  Allan 
McDonoll,  of  Toronto,  but  by  this  time  tho  canal  on  the  American  side  was  begun 
by  tho  State  of  Michigan  and  completed  in  1855.  A  previous  attempt  mad,e  by 
thatStato  in  1839  had  been  defeated  by  a  misunderstanding  between  the  State  and 
the  Federal  Govornments. 

Much  of  tho  interest  in  viio  history  of  those  canals  lies  in  tho  fact  that  they 
were  tho  germ  of  tho  canal  system  now  in  exintence.  The  size  at  dififerent  dates 
may  be  compared.  Tho  dimensions  of  the  first  canals  (n79-83)  it  is  not  easy  to 
determine.  Tho  proposals  made  by  Colonel  Mann  for  the  canal  to  avoid  tho  Cas- 
cades, &o.,  (1801-1805J  may  be  taken  as  tho  measure  of  the  others.  That  at  the 
Ooteau  du  Lac,  he  proposed  to  enlarge  by  making  tho  opening  of  the  gates  9  feet 
6  inches,  to  give  an  additional  breadth  of  2  foot  to  the  canal  and  4  feet  to  the  locks 
and  deepen  the  whole  1  foot  6  inches.   (C.  3.^,  pp.  1,  &c.) 

Tho  first  canal  there  (iho  others  appear  to  have  been  smaller)  must,  therefore, 
in  all  probability  have  had  the  following  dimensions :  Width  of  lock,  16  feet, 
width  of  chaunol,  8  feet ;  depth,  1  foot  6  inches.  There  is  no  informatiou  as  to  the 
length  of  tho  lock.

it  would  aoom  almost  to  une_/{flrfe  non  rer.evoir  in  relationd  to  the  property  of  thetyranta

"Versailles,  Jth  April,  1738. 
"To  MM.  DEBfiAunABNOis  and  Hocqcabt. 

"Gentlemen,— Pracgois  Bissot,  son  and  heir  of  Francois  Bis^ot  de  la  Rividre,  in 
his  own  name  and  in  behalf  of  the  other  co-heirs  of  his  father,  represents  that  in 
1661  la  Compagnie  des  Indos  Occidcntalos  conceded  to  hislato  fathor  a  trac*  of  land 
called  L'lle-auxGEufs,  on  the  north  shore  of  the  St..  Lawrence  below  Tadousac,  near 
Monts  Poles,  with  the  ri^ht  to  hunt  and  to  establish  on  the  mainland,  fiom  Ile-aux- 
ffiufs  to  Sept  lies  and  in  Grande  Ance,  extending  towards  the  Er^ruimaux,  pcdentary 
flsherios  for  seal,  whale  and  porpoise,  at  an  anr.  -,  •^x^'A  of  2 'winter  seal  or  10 
•  livres  iournois.' 

"  That  in  truth,  the  deed  of  grant  having  been  d.  s  yod  in  the  fire  which  occurred 
at  Quebec,  ho  is  rot  in  a  position  to  produce  it ;  but  that  the  saiti  di  ed  is  set  out  in 
another  '  Acte  de  Foy  et  Hommago'  made  by  Bissot  the  elder,  for  the  land  granted 
on  the  llih  February,  166«.  That  the  faid  FranQois  Bissot  and  after  him  Fraiioois 
Biseot  his  son,  have  always  lived  on  the  said  grant. 

"That  the  houses  and  establishments  thereon  erected  by  them  having  been  burnt 
there  several  times  by  the  English,  they  rebuilt  them  each  time.  That  in  17,2,  tho 
Ferraier  of  the  Domain  claiming  that  Ile-aux  (Eufg,  as  far  as  tho  river  Moisy,  formed 
part  of  tho  Domain  of  Tadousac,  asked  that  it  be  reunited  thereto  and  for  payment 
of  arrears  of  rental  duo  by  the  Bissot  heirs. 

"That  in  order  to  obviate  all  controversy,  tho  said  heirs  abandoned  tho  tract 
claimed  by  the  Fermier  of  tho  Domain,  and  prayed  for  a  confirmation  of  the  remain- 
der of  the  land  comprised  in  tho  concession  to  Bissot  the  older. 

"  That  on  the  12th  May,  1733,  M.  Hocqnart  issued  an  ordinance  whereby  in  view 
of  the  abandonment  by  tho  said  heirs  of  the  land  in  question,  they  wero  discharged 
from  the  arrears  of  rental,  and  as  to  th  confirmation  of  tho  remaining  land  they 
were  referred  to  His  Majesty  for  .a  decision. 

"  Under  those  circumstances  Sr.  Bissot  has  prayed  that  in  order  to  secure  his 
rights  and  those  of  his  co-heirs,  they  bo  granted  letters  confirming  them  in  tho  pro- 
perty, possession  and  enjoyment  of  the  land  remaining  to  them  out  of  that  comprised 
in  the  grant  made  to  Francois  Bissot  de  la  Riviere,  their  autheur. 

"  You  will  bo  good  enough  to  verify  the  facts  ho  has   alleged  ard  inform  me  of 
the  result  of  your  inquiry,  and  give  mo  your  advice  as  to  the  reauest  made  by  him 
so  that  I  may  place  His  Majesty  in  a  position  to  decide  as  ho  may  think  proper.       ' 

"If  you  judge  it  to  be  right  to  grant  the  confirmation   asked  for,  you  will  be 
careful  to  give  me  a  clear  description  of  the  lands  it  will  bo  proper  to  include  therein 
But  in  tho  inquiry  you  are  to  make  in  this  matter  you  will  bo  careful  not  to  propose 
anything  of  a  nature  to  prejudice  the  domain  of  His  Majesty." 

"  Your  obedient  servant,

with  them,  we  rafay  soon  be  able  to  cause  them  annoyance  on  thoir  back  frontier. 

Sir  A has  pledged  himsalf  ho  deoideiiy  opposed  to  this  project  that  he   will 

try  every  means  in  his  power  to  thwart  it.      Besides,!  am  oouviuoad  ho  wa*  na 


friend  to  your  Lordship  oven  before  this  came  on  the  carpet. 
The  wind  falls  a  little,  I  am  in  hopes  we  may  get  away  in 


the  morning. 


I  have  the  honor  to  be,  with  high  respect, 


Your  Lordships,  &o., 

MILES  MiCDONELL. 


Stornoway,  25th  July,  181 L 

My  Lord,— Our  fleet  put  in  at  Stromness  by  contrary  winds  on  the  15th  instant, 
whore  the  Pi  iuco  of  Wales  remained  to  take  the  men  on  board.  The  E*ldyst  >ne, 
and  EiwJ.  &  Anne,  &C5,,  left  Stromness  the  evening  of  the  same  day  and  arr  ved 
here  on  the  17th  instant.  On  going  ashore  I  was  honored  with  Your  Lordships 
letters  of  21st,  22nd,  29th  June^  &  2nd  July.  Of  Oapt.  Eoderick's  people  then 
there,  82  in  number,  exclusive  of  James  Young,  12  of  them  are  engaged  as  writon* 
<&  20  as  labourers.  Ton  of  the  labourers  are  at  £25  yearly  wages.  They  would 
not  by  any  means  consent  to  have  wages  reduced;  and  the  offer  of  land  at  the  end  of 
one  year's  service  they  did  not  think  sufficiently  advantageous.  The  land  they 
altogether  make  very  light  of.  Upon  the  whole,  I  judged  it  more  beneficial  to  the 
concern  that  they  should  be  kept  for  the  full  period,  as  their  labour  for  the  two 
last  years  will  bo  better  than  that  of  the  fi'-st,  &  sending  them  home  at  iho  expira- 
tion of  one  year  would  be  incurring  a  heavy  expense  without  receiving  much  bene- 
fit from  them  to  compensate  it.  It  is  an  unfortunate  circumstance  that  they  wero 
engaged  different  from  the  othero,  which  will  always  be  a  source  of  grievance  and 
discontent.  Many  of  them  said  they  would  not  have  engaged  had  they  not  been 
promised  such  wages,  &  1  suppose  Capt.  Roderick  was  anxious  to  send  a  cumber 
forward  to  make  up  in  some  shape  for  the  defection  of  bo  many  others  whom  ho  had 
engaged, 

I  had  them  warned  to  assemble  by  themselves  to  talk  with  them;  &  first 
spoke  to  two  separate  to  find  out  their  disposition.  On  the  return  of  these  to  tho 
others  there  was  a  general  clamour,  saying  that  they  were  going  to  bo  impose!  upon, 
&o.  It  was  then  necessf  r-y  to  address  the  whole  body  and  assure  them  that  no 
alteration  would  bo  made  in  their  agreeraonts.  Others  wanted  an  augmentation  to 
thoir  pay,  saying  that  if  I  had  power  to  reduce  I  could  add.  From  the  fewness  of 
our  numbers,  besides  tho  loss  it  might  occasion  to  Capt.  Roderick  (who,  I  bolievo, 
has  not  been  wanting  in  exertions)  it  would  never  do  to  let  any  of  them  return 
home.  The  Captain  must  be  at  some  lose  with  Young ;  but  tho  wages  to  him  wero 
enormous,  &  I  am  astonished  ho  could  think  of  making  such  a  contract  without 
orders — he  says  there  was  not  time. 

There  are  only  14  of  tho  Irish  besides  Mi.  Bourke;  few,  instead  of  70  that 
were  promised.  Mr.  Evorard's  letter  to  me,  a  copy  of  which  I  enclose,  throws  some 
light  on  the  subject. — It  appears  from  it  that  none  of  the  Galway  men  reached 
Sligo,  altho'  ho  had  advice  from  the  house  of  Graham  &  Co.  of  thoir  being  on  tho 
route.  Ho  mentions  to  have  enclosed  their  letters  to  him  on  this  business  but  has 
omitted  to  do  it.  My  letter  to  Mr.  Evorard  I  enclose  open  lor  your  Lordships  per- 
nsal,  to  be  afterwards  forwarded. 

Mr.  Bourke  1  find  has  already  commenced  a  correspondence  with  Your  Lordship. 
His  reply  to  tho  Highlanders  shews  at  least  some  spunk  and  zeal  for  tha  cause  he  is 
engaged  in.  Ho  speaks  Irish,  French,  Spanish,  &c.,  &c.,  and  might  be  very  useful; 
but  he  is  unfortunately  fond  of  a  sup  of  the  creature  to  which  he  is  but  too  mucti 
addicted.    Ho  appears  howover  to  have  inuaonoe  among  the  people  of  tho  D.strict  ho

Captriiu  Hanwell,  who  saw  in  that  movement  tho  lo^s  of  his  Command,  as  afterwards 
each  ^h,p  was  to  make  tho  best  of  its  way  to  its  destined  port.  The  desertion  at 
btornowuy  from  the  Edwd.  &  Ann  took  place  after  the  General  distribution  had  been 
made  &  each  ship  had  received  tho  number  of  men  allotted  to  her.  It  was  my  inten- 
tion to  replace  in  part  this  det^ertion  by  taking  a  few  from  the  two  other  ships,  that 
each  might  bear  its  share  of  tho  loss-bat  tho  Commodore  would  not  part  with  any  of

or  direction  as  to  the  destination  of  the  people.  "^         °  J 

I  took  with  me  8  men  from  the  Eddystone  to  tho  Edwd  &  Ann— with  this 
augiuontaijon  the  numbfr  on  board  was  53,  labourers  &  Artificers  collectively. 
Ihirty  of  these  I  oxp(ct  to  have  for  the  settlement ;  &  from  the  remainder  Mr.  Hil- 
iiors  party  may  bo  formed,  not  conceiving  it  to  be  tho  intention  of  tho  Co.  that  all 
tho  clo.kH  and  writers  wore  for  ono  part  of  the  Country,  I  permitted  three  to  vol- 
unteer into  the  Prince  of  Wales  for  the  south  Factories,  and  two  others  to  go  in  the 
iiddystono  to  Churchill,  &  desired  tho  Captains  to  mess  them  in  their  Cabins! 

Iho  passage  has  been  of  uncommon  length,  &  for  a  summer  ono  very  boister- 
ous.-On  tlio  morning  of  tho  6th  Sept.  wo  discovered  land  (Button's  Island)  &  wero 
Irora  that  day  to  the  I5th  in  getting  thro'  tho  straits,  After  entering  the  straits  wo 
daily  saw  a  number  of  Jumps  of  ice  called  by  the  seamen  Islands,  of  these  sot^o  were 
small,  &  others  appeared  the  size  of  two  or  throe  Acres  in  circumference,  and  about 
lOU  leot  high.  As  we  kept  at  a  distance  from  land  in  obedience  to  tho  Signals  of  tho 
l^ommodoro,  saw  nothing  of  the  natives,  which  was  a  groat  disappointment.  Tho 
Country  on  both  sides  of  tho  strait  appeared  to  be  high  naked  rocks,  &  with  the  ex- 
ception of  a  little  snow  or  ice  which  I  imagine  they  are  never  clear  of,  are  not  Qn- 
liko  tho  west  coast  of  Sutherlandshiro  &  part  of  Eosshire.  At  the  upper  pan  of 
the  strairs  wo  met  a  quantity  of  flat  ice,  which  gave  us  no  interruption  but  that  of 
laying  to  for  one  night  with  a  fair  wind.  On  tho  Ocean  we  had  an  uncommon 
share  of  boisterous,  stormy  and  cold  weathor-but  after  entering  Hudson's  Bay  ex- 
jserienced  a  course  of  fine,  mild  weather  and  moderate  fair  winds.  Arrived  hero  on 
tho  Uth  September  after  a  passage  of  61  days  from  Stornoway,  tho  longest  and  latest

matlon  concerning  him  from  the  R.  0.  Bishop  of  Killala,  from  whoHo  diosoHO  ho  ia, 
thro'  Mr.  Kvorard  at  Mftynooth,  Ho  tella  mo  that  ho  carao  away  without  tho 
loavo  of  tho  BJHhop  who  was  at  tho  timo  at  Dublin.  A  report  must  bo  made  ot  him 
at  Quebec  aa  now  belonging  to  that  Dioseao.  Ho  is  however,  very  zouIouh  for  tho 
incroaso  of  our  Colony,  bo  assaroB  mo  ho  can  got  thousands  to  come  out  from  Muyo, 
has  written  very  encouraging  letters  to  his  own  rolalions  there,  and  wrote  lottors 
for  almost  every  one  of  his  flock  to  their  friends  in  tho  same  encouraging  strain.  He 
wishes  to  become  a  (^harolioldor  in  tho  concern.  Ho  is  related  to  Mr.  Evorard  at  Sligo. 

I  found  every  facility  &  readiness  both  from  Mr.  Auld,  &  Mr.  Cook  tho  Governor  of 
this  place,  to  moot  Your  Lordship's  views  to  forward  the  Colony,  consistent  with  their 
duty  to  the  affairs  of  tho  Company.  They,  as  well  as  a  groat  number  of  the  Cos. 
officers  &  other  servants  in  the  Country,  feel  interested  in  its  success,  &  look 
towards  it  as  a  future  asylum  for  themselves  &  their  rmmerous  offspring. — I  am 
informed  that  many  of  tho  Company's  servants  &  othoin  from  the  N.  W.  Co  who 
have  served  their  time,  &  have  families  with  Indian  women  will  bo  induced  to  join 
lis  soon  as  they  see  a  settlement  begun  on  a  permanent  footing.—  Many  of  these  aro 
worth  money  and  can  afford  to  pay  well  for  land — Your  Lordship  will  pleaso  to  send 
me  Instructions  respecting  such  people. 

The  Hddyd'.one  has  now  arrived  bore  with  all  her  passengers  &  Cargo  without 
being  able  to  get  to  Churchill.  This  affords  an  additional  supply  of  men  not  wanted 
by  the  Company.  1  am  therefore  allowed  to  Augment  my  number  to  35  labourers 
&  avtiticore.  I  have  taken  all  Capt.  Roderick's  men,  the  Lewis  men,  with  a  portion 
of  Irish  ;  the  rest  of  ray  list  will  be  fillod  up  by  a  selection  from  Orkney — there  aro 
besides  a  numbei-  of  Orkney  men  here  going  home,  who  have  served  out  their  time — 
1  oxpecl  to  be  ablo  to  prevail  on  some  of  theho  to  remain  for  one  or  two  years  more 
— as  experienced  men  their  service  will  be  important  to  asbist  in  ascending 
waters  next  spring. 

Mr.  Auld  had  previous  to  my  arrival  sent  orders  to  tho  difToront  Posts  in  tho 
Rod  River  (Jountry  to  procure  &  save  as  much  provisions  as  possible  for  the  uso  of 
tho  ensuing  year — and  says  that  even  had  this  not  been  done,  there  could  ba  no 
apprehension  of  any  want  of  Buflfalo  moat,  from  tho  vast  abundance  of  tho  Country. — 
This  being  the  case  I  think  an  accommodation  may  bo  provided  there  for  45  to  50 
passengers  to  bo  sent  out  next  year  for  the  settlement,  among  whom  may  be  8  or  10 
families. — Boats  for  this  number  will  be  ready  hero  for  taking  them  up. — Bach  boat 
will  require  two  export  men  accustomed  to  rapids  &  poling,  some  such  might  be 
procured  in  tho  Orkneys  who  have  been  formerly  in  the  Cos.  service,  by  making 
early  application,  and  they  ought  to  be  engaged  under  a  penalty  to  bo  lit  for  tho 
HOrvico  which  thoy  undertake.  Tho  Fuctoiy  can  furnish  some  men  of  this  descrip- 
tion as  goon  as  their  people  come  down  with  the  Furs,  which  is  always  before  tho 
arrival  of  the  ships.  Tents  of  Imitation  sheeting  will  be  required  to  protect  the 
people  from  the  rain,  flies,  &c.,  in  ascending  tho  waters,  thoy  will  serve  parties  for 
dilForent  successive  years,  &  may  afterwards  bo  of  use  for  straw  bed-<,  bags,  &o.,  in 
the  settlement.  Even  tho  C'*'.  men  have  tents,  &  families  cannot  popsibly  dispense 
with  them, — the  simplest  and  most  convenient  is  tho  Military  tent  with  a  ridge  polo, 
&  to  contain  six  soldiers  with  their  arms  &  knapsacks. — Leather  of  old  tents  can  be 
furnished  here  for  covering  the  goods  in  tho  boats,  instead  of  oil  cloths  which  would 
be  expensive. 

The  Boats  used  here  carry  30  pieces  of  90  lb  each,  &  are  navigated  by  5  men, — 
our  boats  are  entirely  disapproved  of  altho'  far  lighter  &  easier  constructed  th m  tho 
others.  I  will  not  give  up  the  utility  of  flat  bottoms  for  river  navigation  whatever 
may  be  their  opinion,  &  shall  prove  them  to  be  of  use  next  spring  by  going  up  in 
them.  The  people  hero  have  never  seen  anything  that  is  used  in  other  parts  of 
America. — My  axes  &  some  other  tools  are  objects  of  great  wonder,  &  condemned 
without  mercy.  J  am  sorry  to  find  Holtzapffol's  axes  very  badly  tempered — the 
edge  of  the  first  one  tried  broke  in  cutting  a  soft  poplar  stick.  The  Blacksmith  here 
may,  however,  soften  them.  In  England  they  do  not  understand  tho  tempering  of 
edged  tools  to  stand  in  cold  countries.

My  Lord. — The  people  going  home  have  disappointed  my  expectations;  thoy 
formed  a  comljioation  toifcthor  against  remaining  longer  in  the  country,  or  they 
have  an  idea  of  getting  very  high  wag«3s  at  home  for  coming  out  again,  but  1  hope  none 
of  thoee  will  bo  taken  into  onr  service.  ,  I  have  only  been  able  to  engage  one  man  for 
two  years  at  £:5  per  ann.,  who  has  been  three  years  inland  from  Churchill. 

Mr.  Hillier  was  font  off  the  30th  ulto,  with  a  party  to  north  side  the  Nelson,, 
1  Bcnt  away  my  people  yesterday  to  tho  same  place,  and  follow  them  myself  today. 
Mr.  Tomison  returns  with  the  sbips — he  has  said  nothing  to  me  of  his  intentions — 
I  have  it  only  from  others — Wo  can  very  well  dispense  with  him — Had  he  remained 
he  could  be  of  no  service  to  our  party,  neither  hero  nor  at  the  Red  Rivor. — The  poor 
old  man  hurt  his  back  by  a  fall  on  the  pissago  and  feels  discouraged. 

M>'.  Edwards  has  not  been  sufficiently  careful  of  tho  Instruments  your  Lordship 
Bont  to  his  charge.  The  two  Baromolers  are  injured — thoy  should  have  boon  sent 
back  to  be  repaired,  but  that  he  has  taken  them  with  him,  and  I  have  only  learned  the 
accident  since  his  departure. 

I  have  taken  the  liberty  of  putting  some  letters  for  Canada  under  cover  to  Your

Blacksmiths  shop  or  Tools.— Could  you  spare  half  a  dozan  Tin  plates,  wo  are  mach 
in  need  of  them. 

Mr.  Auld  might  have  been  crossed  every  day  since  Saturday  last,  &  may  yet  so 
long  as  this  mild  weather  continues.  I  beg  my  respects  to  him,  and  am  with  true 
regard 

My  Dear  Sir, 

Very  Sincerely  Yours, 

MILES  MACDONELL. 

Sent  by  two  men  from  south  side  Party  to  YP,  w>io  returned  the  5th  Instant, 
and  brought  an  order  for  Mr.  Geddes  to  give  us  all  the  m«.at  he  might  have  whenever 
called  for. 


Nelson  Encampment,  30th  November^  1811. 

My  Dear  Sir, — A  mild  day  offers  to  send  a  boat  across  the  Nelson  with  the 
Express  from  Churohiil,  which  arrived  here  on  the  28th  instant. 

I  beg  of  you  to  embrace  every  opportunity  of  sending  us  skins  for  Togas,  Trousers, 
&c.,  with  twine,  coarse  needles,  &c.  The  skins  you  sent  by  tbe  last  Indi.ins  have  not 
yet  reached  mo,  the  weather  being  such  that  we  could  not  put  out  a  boat  to  cross 
them.     I  shall  now  get  them  by  the  return  of  this  boat. 

Mr.  Auld  was  to  have  furnished  us  with  some  whip  siw  Piles,  from  Churchill, 
but  I  see  none  arrived.  Of  course,  we  cannot  possibly  saw  boards,  for  want  of  them. 
Mr.  A.  promised  us  a  quantity  of  Essence  of  Malt,  Chrysttilizei  Salts  of  Lamon, 
&o.,  to  be  used  as  a  preventive  for  the  Scurvy,  but  says  nothing  to  mo  in  his  lottor 
about  such.  The  Scurvy  has  not  yet  made  its  appoarance  among  us,  but  as  our 
people  are  now  living  entirely  on  salt  provisions,  and  our  stock  of  oatmeal  not  war- 
ranting a  liberal  issue,  we  are  not  certain  how  long  that  dreadful  evil  may  keep 
away  from  us. 

I  am,  my  dear  Sir, 

Your  most  obedt.  and  humble  sorvt,, 

MILES  MAODOi^ELL. 
Wm.  H.  Cook,  Esq.,  Govr.  YP. 

I  hope  the  people  with  you  are  recovered  from  the  complaints  thoy  had  when 
you  wrote  mo  by  Mr.  Auld. 

M.  McD. 


To  William  Auld,  Esq.,  Superintendent  of  the  Northern  Department  Hudson's  Bay, 

Nelson  Encampment, 

25th  Deer.  1811. 
Dear  Sib, — 

Your  letter  of  the  16th  Oct.,  from  YF.  reached  me  on  the  5th  Novembjr  at  the 
time  you  crossed  here  on  your  route  to  C.  R.  &  should  have  been  aokaowledged 
before  now  had  an  opportunity  for  communication  offered. 

The  selection  of  men  for  Bed  River  settlement  was  made  in  my  mind  on  board 
of  the  ships,  &  once  that  I  learned  the  number  to  be  given  me  for  that  service  there 
could  be  no  further  delay — In  conversation  with  you,  after  the  arrival  of  the  Eidy- 
stone,  I  was  permitted  to  take  35  of  the  passengers  besides  Wm.  Fm  lay  since  engaged. 
The  people  being  landed  from  the  ships  at  different  times  &  hurried  off  promiaon- 
ously  as  they  landed  from  the  l^aotory  "to  this  place,  the  men  intended  for  R.  R.  S.

I  like  your  candour,  &  the  freedom  with  which  you  deliver  j-our  opinion; 
permit  me  likewise  to  dc  bo,  &  altho'  it  muBt  difler  from  y(  uis  with  regard  to  the 
river  navigation,  it  may  yet  be  no  more  than  an  opinion  :— In  ppeakirg  cf  waters 
that  I  have  not  Been,  I  feel  a  great  advantage  you  have  over  mo;  yot  cannot  help 
being  strongly  impressed  with  the  idea  that  had  we  arrived  in  this  country  in  suffi- 
cient time  to  put  our  boats  together  &  to  get  np,  we  should  with  the  assietauce  of 
pilots  have  accomplished  the  voyage  to  B.  B,.  S. ;  of  course,  not  in  so  ehoit  a  time  aa 
your  experienced  men  might  do,  but  with  perseverance  &  diligence  we  should  get 
up,  &  I  trust  without  the  loss  of  lives  or  property.  It  is  probable  that  we 
could  not  be  able  to  take  all  the  stores  along — the  devil  must  be  in  the  way,  if  with 
BO  many  men  &  all  effective,  we  could  not  go  up.  I  shall  next  summer  put  the  matter 
to  the  test,  &  shall  only  require,  (nor  would  I  wish  to  take  more)  than  one  experi- 
enced man  in  each  boat  along  with  our  own  hands,  &  those  I  will  not  require  to 
take  farther  than  the  entrance  of  Lake  Wmnipic.  The  number  of  boats  for  my 
party  will  be  five  or  f-ix,  &  the  furnish'ng  one  pilot  for  each  will  not  I  hope  bo  very 
detrimental  to  the  Honble.  Coy's,  affairs.  Probably  this  number  of  men  may  be 
famished  as  early  as  we  can  be  ready  to  proceed  before  the  arrival  of ''the  inland 
traders.  When  familes  are  to  go  up  they  will  require  two  experienced  men  in  each 
boat,  as  they  may  not  have  so  many  effective  men  as  we. 

The  boats  which  have  been  sent  from  England  are  not  well  constructed — the 
plan  of  them  was  good,  but  the  idea  baa  not  been  well  taken  up  by  the  tradesmen 
who  had  never  before  teen  anything  of  the  kind.  The  work  is  very  slightly  & 
imperfectly  executed,  &  there  was  not  time  for  alteration.  The  best  of  them  are  30 
feet  long  &  came  out  in  bulk,  but  unfortunately  were  not  landed,  owing,  as  I  have 
been  inlormed,  to  a  difference  between  Capt  Taylor,  of  the  scho*  ;er.  East  Maine,  & 
Mr.  Davidson,  mate  of  the  Edw'  &  Ann;  Davidson  wanted  the  boats  to  be  taken 
ashore  in  the  schooner  ;  Taylor  would  not  receive  orders  from  him,  the  boats  were 
consequently  left  in  the  ship  &  brought  back  to  England.  They  would  be  very  con- 
venient for  us  next  spring  to  go  up.  They  ehall  not  however  be  lost  as  I  expect 
them  out  again  &  will  terve  to  transport  part  of  another  divisioi-.  of  our  people. 
Ihose  you  saw  at  YF  aio  too  short,  too  deep,  &  very  slightly  put  together. 

All  the  boats  I  ever  saw  used  for  shoal  river  navigation  were  flat  bottomed  &  some- 
thing of  the  model  of  those  now  at  YF  ;  no  others  can  answer  a  good  purpose.  I 
shall  cause  my  boat  builder  (Thomas  Angus)  with  such  assistance  as  he  can  have 
from  your  people,  to  build  nest  spring  two  or  three  boats  such  as  are  used  on  the 
St,  Lawrence  &  Mohawk  Eivers.  they  will  be  easier  built,  lighter,  carry  more,  & 
managed  by  as  few  hands  as  your  boats.  When  proved  to  be  fit  for  your  rivers  hero, 
I  am  persuaded  they  will  be  generally  adopted  For  these  boats  I  expect  to  have  all 
the  wood,  materials  ready  in  course  of  the  winter. 

Your  boats  that  I  saw  at  YF  are  in  my  opinion  certainly  not  the  fittest  for  shoal 
river  navigation  &  allho'  thoy  have  hitherto  served  the  purpose  must  yet  be  managed 
with  much  labour  &  disadvantage. — They  are  of  the  construction  of  whale  boats,  are 
heavy,  &  better  calculated  for  sea  service  than  that.of  shoal  rivers.  The  keels  must 
be  a  constant  impediment,  always  touching  stones  in  shoal  water.  From  the  form 
thoy  take  in  the  bow  &  stern  a  man  cannot  stand  in  them  to  use  a  petting  Pole  ; — 
most  essential  &  indispensable  tool  in  rapids  &  strong  currents. 

You  very  justly  remark  that  wo  have  a  vast  deal  of  lumber  to  carry  up.  A  great 
deal  is  required  to  form  a  settlement  so  distant  from  resources  as  that  country  now 
is,  I  should  be  at  a  loss  to  know  what  articles  among  the  stores  to  leave  behind.  Our 
Packages  have  not  been  well  made  np,  &  will  certainly  require  a  roinspection  for 
which  there  will  be  sufficient  time  in  the  spring.  The  private  luggage  of  both  the 
officers  &  men  must  be  limited.  Erom  what  you  state  of  the  abundance  of  the  coun- 
try, I  am  happy  to  iearn  that  it  will  not  bo  necessary  to  bring  with  us  much  moro 
provisions  than  what  the  journey  up  may  require,  this  will  enable  us  to  take  a  greater 
proportion  if  not  the  whole  of  the  other  public  stores. 

That  the  arrival  of  strangers  among  them  is  not  liked  by  the  Oikneymen  now

Kelson  Encampment,  6th  January,  1812. 

My  Deab  Sir,— McEsre.  Tate  &  Spencer  arrived  here  lafc.t  evening  oud  handed  me 
your  obliging  letter  of  the  2nd  in&tant.  We  have  collected  hero  all  the  drift  wood 
fit  for  boat  timbers  that  we  could  between  this  and  Fiamborough  Head.  There  is 
BOt  much  of  it.  There  is  likewise  eomo  collecled  bv  the  party  I  had  on  the  south 
side  the  river,  and  which  has  since  been  recalled  from  there.  "Wo  have  a  parcel  of 
oars  and  poles  here,  and  when  dreeted,  will,  1  ihibk,  be  sufficient  for  oiir  puriiose. 
But  there  is  not  a  tree  on  this  side  the  river,  as  far  as  Mr.  Geddes's  place,  tit  to  be 
eawed  for  boat  plank. 

Mr.  Tate  informs  me  there  is  a  quantity  of  good  wood  on  the  poulh  side  above 
the  house  your  people  were  building  which  he  formerly  taw  and  [  now  send  men 
along  with  him  to  whom  ho  will  show  the  place.  Three  boats  is  tho  number  I  had 
made  up  in  my  mind  that  we  should  require  to  build  ;  I  am  happy  to  find  that  your 
opinion  perfectly  coinsides  with  mine  in  this  respect. 

•1  ^'  mu'  ^®  necessary  to  conclude  where  these  boats  can  be  most  conveniently 
boilt.  The  materials  lying  so  scattered,  nothing  of  tho  kind  can  be  attempted  here. 
1  shall  have  a  hut  built  immediately  at  the  place  where  the  wood  is,  and  have  it 
eawed  into  boards  and  planks.  None  of  tho  boards  brought  hero  can  be  of  any 
service.  There  is  yet  a  quantity  left  at  the  Now  House  which  may  come  into  use. 
As  you  ssy  that  you  have  materials  for  one  boat  at  the  Factory,  there  will  not  bo  a 
vast  deal  required  for  two  more.  The  boats  that  I  shall  direct  the  construction  of 
will  be  flat  bottomed,  &  without  keels  ;  they  will  be  easier  built,  lighter,  carry 
more,  &  managed  by  aw  few  hands  as  your  boats  which  I  have  seen  at  the  Factory 
They  should  be  about  30  feet  long,  the  timbers  all  shaped  alike,  with  a  strong  Mom* 
&  stern.    The  boards  &  plank  for  these  should  be  sawed   the  length  of  from  15  to  20

My  Dear  Sir,— I  am  surprised  that  Mr.  Gcddes  should  make  a  complaint  to

much  08  he  thought  proper  &  came  off  with  it  as  fast  as  he  could,  without  waning 
for  another.  The  2nd  parly  coneisted  of  13  men,  with  them  I  scnl  an  officer  to 
regulate  their  burdens  &c  to  prevent  them  from  running  away  from  each  other  for 
fear  of  accidents  through  cold  &c.  The  conduct  of  this  ])arty  I  know  has  been

i^«LS0N  Encampment,  14th  February,  1812. 
Mr  Dkar  Sib, 

A  Combination  has  been  formed  by  a  part  of  tho  men  against  the  authority  of 
the  oflBcors  sot  over  them.  Mr.  Hillier  &  myself  were  taking  evidence  as  Magistrates 
ot  their  burning  a  Hut  built  for  tho  acccmmodaiioa  ot  Mr,  Finlay,  in  tho  most 
audacious  manner.  Thirteen  of  thera  besides  P'inlay  are  implicated,  who  all 
to  a  man  have  set  us  at  defiance.  There  are  some  othtrs  of  tho  old  hands  that 
are  private  advisers  &  abettors.  There  are  very  little  provisions,  and  was  thero 
abundance  I  do  not  think  myself  justifiable  to  issue  the  Cos:  property  to  refractory 
servants  who  run  counter  to  all  order.  It  is  therefore  most  probable  that  theho 
men  may  visit  you  soon  at  the  Factory,  &  I  think  it  but  reasonable  you  should  have 
this  early  intimation.  Thero  is  no  fear  of  us  here,  wo  are  yet  strong  enough  to  pro- 
•  tcct  ourselves,  but  threats  have  been  hold  out  to  intimidate  us.  Our  men  going  at 
any  time  to  tho  Factory  ought  not  to  have  access  to  tho  place  where  their  Boxes  are 
wiihont  an  oflScer  being  along  with  them,  several  of  them  have  pistols,  &c,,  &  some 
pilfering  has  been  committed  from  each  other's  Boxes. 

I  enclose  an  acct.  of  all  the  articles  received  from  Mr.  Geddes,  in  which  you  will 
perceive  tho  receipt  of  the  last  article  was  2nd  December,  &  since  then  I  have  not  had 
arything  from  him  nor  has  any  of  my  men  been  there.  I  know  nothing  of  tho  20  lb. 
fat  ho  fctates  to  have  delivered  to  Mr,  McDonnell.  I  will  be  obliged  to  you  to  furnish 
ino  with  2  Quires  foolscap  paper.

Wm.  H.Cook,  E<qr. 

(Jtovv.  yp. 

NiLsoN  Enoampmunt,  27th  February,  1812. 
My  Dfab  Sia, — 

1  ombruco  an  opporlunity  oflforiug  for  Churchill  to  do  mvHoIf  the  plouHuro  of 
\Triting  you. 

In  thia  wild,  desolate,  &  (I  may  add)  birren  region;  secluded  at  present  from 
all  commaiiication  with  the  civilized  world,  intelligence  of  a  local  can  alono  bo 
expected.  Could  wo  join  in  the  centinel's  cry  of"  All  is  well,'"  altho'  not  art' .  ding 
great  changos  might  yet  be  Hatisfactory  in  our  isolated  situation.  Wo  have 
as  groat  variety  as  generally  happens  in  thia  sublunary  world,  of  which  wo  hem  form 
a  true  epitome,  being  composed  of  men  of  all  countries,  religion,  &  tongues. 

The  Irish  displayed  their  native  propensity  &  prowess  on  the  first  night  of  the 
year,  by  unracrc. fully  boating  some  Orknoymen  of  Mr.  Hillior's  party.  Too  much 
liquor  was  the  only  incitement.  The  perpetrators  of  this  unwarrantable  act,  were  as 
much  as  could  bo  done,  debarred  from  a  repetition  of  such  conduct,  by  obliging  »bem 
to  give  security  for  their  future  peaceable  deportment.  The  effect  will  not  however 
ba  HO  readily  removed,  &  will  consequently  servo  to  strengthen  the  prejudices  alroiidv 
existing  against  them. 

We  have  lately  had  another  aflfair  which  may  be  attended  with  couseqaences 
more  serious  than  the  firit,  &  of  which  William  Pinlay  engaged  by  me  in  October 
lust  at  YP,  is  the  primary  mover  &  cause. 

At  a  time  when  our  people  were  every  day  getting  down  in  the  Scurvy  (ItJ  in 
my  party  &  17  of  Mr.  Hillior's  were  already  seized  with  it)  regulations  were  estab- 
lished for  the  health  of  the  people;  to  which  Pinlay  refused  to  conform.  On  this 
account  he  was  struck  olf  work  for  two  or  three  days,  &  not  intending  to  go  further 
lengthrt  with  him,  he  was  ordered  to  resume  work;  but  this  he  refused,  saying  that, 
he  would  work  no  more.  As  ho  persisted  in  this  determination  altho'  frequently 
ordered  to  work,  after  a  week  had  passed  I  had  him  brought  before  Mr.  Hillier  as  a 
Magistrate,  where  different  misdemeanours  wore  proved  against  him,  for  which  he 
■WHS  sentenced  to  confinement  as  a  refractory  servant.  Not  thinking  it  any  punish- 
ment that  he  should  sleep  &  sit  idle  in  the  same  house  with  the  other  men,  I  had  a 
hut  built  for  him  to  which  he  was  removed,  a  party  he  had  formed  among  the  people 
assembled  to  the  nuraber.of  13  men  on  the  first  evening  of  his  confinement,  &  burnt 
the  Hut  to  the  ground,  triumphantly  shouting  in  the  most  audacious  manner  when 
they  had  got  it  in  flames. 

Mr.  Hillier  &  I  had  all  those  men  brought  before  us  &  were  investigating  tho 
matter  as  Magistrates  when  th-^y  refused  to  submit  to  our  authority  and  walked  away. 
They  are  now  with  Pinlay  in  a  house  by  themselves,  under  no  control  or  regulation, 
subsisted  by  tho  Provisions  of  the  H.  B.  Co.  which  I  oblige  them  to  bring  from  YP. 
for  themselves.  None  of  the  Highlanders  were  concerned  in  this  affair ;  &  you  will 
be  surprised  to  learn  that  even  none  of  the  Irish  had  a  hand  in  it,  they  are  all  men 
from  Glasgow  &  Orkney. 

Thoro  will  be  a  necessity  of  sending  some  of  these  men  home  to  be  tried  by  the 
laws  of  their  country;  however  detrimental  to  affairs  in  tho  meantime,  it  will  check 
Buch  irregularities  in  future,  and  tend  to  the  establishment  of  order  and  subordina- 
tion in  this  country.  I  nhall  not  trouble  you  more  at  present  on  this  subject,  as  you 
are  soon  expected  here  we  shall  deliberate  on  what  is  to  be  done. 

The  scurvy  made  great  advances  among  us,  but  from  a  plentiful  use  of  spruce 
its  progress  was  stopped  and  our  people  are  now  mostly  recovered,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  one  who  I  am  afraid  we  may  yet  lose,  he  being  reduced  to  lowest  extremity. 
Oar  winter  has  been  unusually  severe  with  little  snow.  All  kinds  of  game  deserted 
us  entirely,  and  the  supplies  from  the  poor  natives  wero  scanty,  although  I  am  con- 
vinced thoy  brought  all  they  could  possibly  spare.  Under  all  those  circumstances 
■wo  have  not  suffered  any  privation  of  necessaries,  and  on  the  oonlrary  wore  rather 
co.-afortable  than  otherwise.

It  h  very  detri mental  to  us,  particularly  in  tho  prenont  time,  to  bo  deprived  of 
the  HorviocH  of  so  many  men.  Not  only  those  but  Hovoral  others  in  my  opinion 
should  be  went  homo  m  incapable,  from  age  &  bodily  InQrmitioH,  of  earning  their 
wa^oH.  Four  of  thin  olasH  wintered  with  mo  &  Mr.  llillior  ban  Hoverai,  all  of  tho 
people  who  camo  out  last  year.  Suoh  mon  can  bo  of  no  norvice,  &  it  is  better  to 
navo  a  few  &  all  offoctivo  than  to  have  a  long  list  of  invalidn  merely  nominal  rated 
at  high  wages.  A  descriptive  list  of  mon  so  diuchargod  nliould  bo  sent  to  the  Com- 
mittee that  orders  may  be  given  the  Agents  against  reengaging  any  of  them. 

Taking  this  into  considoralion  tho  number  to  bo  furnlHhed  for  ray  expedition  from 
last  year,s  importation  must  consequently  fall  short  of  tho  calculations  first  made. 
From  tho  facility  «fc  readiness  I  have  oxporioncod  from  you  lo  forward  tho  under- 
taking I  am  porsuudod  that  overy  possible  assistance  will  bo  rendered.  Mr.  Cook's 
dilligetiCe  with  tlio  boats  is  such  that  they  will  occasion  no  delay.  Should  every 
other  matter  bo  in  like  forwardness  wo  may  take  advantage  of  tho  lirst  of  the 
navigation  to  proceed.  It  will  be  requisite  that  a  trader  with  an  assortment  of  goods 
for  the  Indians  accompany  tho  settlers  so  as  to  give  tho  settlement,  in  the  first 
instance,  tho  appearance  of  an  ordinary  trading  post,  to  prevent  tho  joalousy  the 
Indians  might  coiiooive  against  a  permanent  ostablishmont  boing  raado  in  their  coun- 
try. This  measure  will  be  beneficial  to  tho  Co.,  ivs  it  will  be  giving  them  tho 
advantage  of  a  trading  post  without  being  at  tho'oxpoiiso  of  establishing  and  main- 
taining one.  It  will  likewise  bo  necessary  that  u  quuntiiy  of  slops  bo  sent  under  the 
charge  of  tho  trader  for  the  use  of  tho  settlers. 

I  expect  about  Forty  mon  &  8  or  10  families  out  this  year  for  R.  R.  S.  &  fer- 
vently pray  they  may  bo  able  to  get  to  the  settlement  before  winter,  of  ^rhat  country 
tboy  may  bo  of  is  uncertain,  but  I  suppose  thoy  will  bo  a  mixture  of  Soots  &  Irish. 
I  would  recommend  as  little  intercourse  between  them  &  the  mon  of  YF.  as 
possible,  particularly  while  your  people  continue  in  tho  discontented  state  of  mind 
they  appear  to  bo  in  at  present.  Ilouyos  for  thoir  reception  until  ombarkod  for  the 
Settlement  might  be  built  above  the  Factory  on  the  south  sido  tho  river,  at  the  Ton 
Shilling  Crook  or  any  moi'o  convenient  situation  in  that  quarter.  If  built  below,  the 
people  would  be  visited  and  disturbed  by  tho  crows  of  the  Boats  plying  between  the 
Factory  &  the  ships,  &  various  irregularities  might  be  committed  which  it  is  beat 
to  guard  against. 

Printed  orders  must  be  given  to  tho  Captain  of  tho  Ship  the  Insurgents  are  put 
on  board  of,  to  guard  against  attempts  they  might  make  to  escape  at  Stromness, 
or  any  other  port  the  ship  may  touch  at  before  arriving  at  London,  &  even  there, 
untill  they  are  delivered  over  to  the  custody  of  the  Law.  Tho  expenses  of  sending 
homo  those  follows,  as  likewise  tho  gent,"  who  go  as  evidences  against  them,  the 
H.  B.  Co.  &  Lord  Selkirk  will  arrange  together.  Were  it  practicable,  tho  evidences 
should  not  take  passage  in  tho  same  vessel  with  the  Insurgents.  From  the  inform- 
ation I  have  received  of  the  place  called  Tiie  Rock,  120  or  130  Miles  above  YF,  where 
boats  Cflrrying  upwards  of  Six  Tons  might  reaoh,  iu  would  be  a  very  c:)nvonient  sit- 
uation to  establish  a  Post  at,  both  for  R.  R.  S.  &  H.  B.  Co.:  it  raigbt  bo  made  our 
principle  Dopot  for  Stores.  Your  Inlanders  might  stop  there  instead  of  coming  all 
the  way  down  to  the  Factory,  particularly  in  those  turbulent  timos.  In  case  of  in- 
vasion from  Americans  or  other  enemies,  tho  Co's  most  valuable  property  would  be 
safer  there  than  at  any  place  on  tho  Sea  Coast. 

The  giving  my  views  so  freely  to  one  who  possesses  that  minute  local  knowledge 
of  the  country  which  can  only  be  obtained  by  long  experience,  may  from  a  stranger 
appear  officious  &  introsive,  but  let  me  assure  you,  that  tho30  suggestions  spring 
from  a  desire  of  showing  my  readiness  to  join  in  whatever  project  may  be  judged 
salutary  to  promote  general  good.  However  slender  such  endeavour  may  now  appear, 
I  firmly  trust  that  my  cooperation  will  yet  be  found  of  essential  benefit  to  the  in- 
terests of  the  H.B,  Co. 

With  sincere  estoem  &  regard, 
I  am,  My  dear  Sir,

Nelson  Encampment,  12th  May,  1812. 
Mr  Dear  Sia, — 

I  yeeterday  received  your  olliging  letter  of  10th  Inst.,  touching  those  points 
we  had  verbally  diecaesed  while  I  was  last  at  the  Factory.  I  immediately 
sent  for  the  '^Jlaegow  Insurgents  &  their  Orkney  Associates— they  sought  time 
to  deliberate  on  the  overturr>  made.  At  10  o'clock  today  I  sent  an  officer  down 
toknow  their  mind,  a  numbor  of  them  were  out  hunting  (they  having  been  lately 
supplied  with  Guns  &  Ammunition  at  the  Factory)  &  had  not  come  to  any  decision. 
Two  of  them  came  up  at  3  o'clock,  reported  for  themselves  &  the  rest  that  they  would 
all  Kerve  the  Coy.  on  conditions.  I  informed  them  that  no  conditions  would  be  granted 
but  that  of  their  original  engagements  forthe  time  to  come.  With  this  they  went  off  & 
two  others  brought  me  the  enclosed  writing  which  you  will  please  return  me  when 
opportunity  serves.  You  see  how  our  good  intentions  are  spurn'd  at  by  those  mis- 
creants.  These  were  informed  that  no  such  condition  would  be  sanctioned,  that  they 
must  take  their  chance  &  strive  to  conduct  themselves  in  a  manner  to  merit  forgive- 
DesB.  but  they  acknowledge  no  fault. 

The  compromipo  between  Anthony  McDonnell  &  the  two  Orkneyrafen,  if  not 
exactly  according  to  Law  Practice,  is  yet  in  my  opinion  strictly  just,  for  who  is  more 
entitled  to  compensation  for  an  injury  than  the  sufferers  ?  And  if  an  Act  of  Parlia- 
ment deprive  us  of  the  means  of  legal  redrets,  we  can  coneequently  justify  the  pro- 
priety of  adopting  po  equitable  a  measure.  J        J  r 

I  do  not  see  my  error  respecting  tbe  venison  at  the  Fishing  Wire  House.  What 
we  had  from  there  before  4th  Nov.,  &  sometime  after  that  period  was  brought  down 
^  our  people  in  Boats—some  of  your  people  would  have  come  round  the  point  of 
Mai-sh  after  the  time  I  came— indeed  I  am  credibly  informed  it  was  with  much  reluc- 
tance that  men  were  prevailed  upon  to  pilot  round  the  Points  the  boats  with  our 
people  some  days  before  I  came.  The  Indians  might  have  been  got  to  bring  some 
carcases  of  Deer  uown  in  their  Canoes,  but  the  Hhds.  of  Salt  Meat  could  not  certainly 
be  brought  m  their  small  bark  vessels. 

What  I  mentioned  about  the  issue  of  Eaisins  was  from  reports  current  here 
which  1  am  now  satisfied  were  not  correct.  My  acct.  may  be  filled  up  by  the  iesue 
ot  Molasses  &  Eum,  Articles  I  had  not  to  give  to  my  people.  Molasses  I  understood 
was  brought  m  Feby  from  Y.F.,  &  issued.  As  to  Bum  I  did  not  understand  a  weekly 
allowance  of  it  was  given.  I  gave  drams  occasionally  to  my  people  but  my  orders 
preclude  me  from  giving  a  fixed  allowance. 

I  am  sorry  to  have  said  so  much  on  matters  I  do  not  conceive  myself  to  be  of 
any  moment.  They  are  talked  of  now  by  the  people  for  want  of  a  better  excuse  as 
some  palliation  for  their  discontent  and  bad  conduct.  Men  who  will  not  cheerfully 
submit  to  the  circumstances  of  the  times  are  not  good  subjects  for  us,  altho'  we  have 
unfortunately  too  many  such  at  present  on  hand. 

I  am  always, 

My  Dear  Sir, 

Your  most  obliged 

and  very  humble  Servant,

My  Dbab  Sib, 


Nelson  Encampment, 

2  let  May,  1812. 


Your  favour  of  yesterday  was  handed  me  last  night.  To  suggest  any  means  for 
forwarding  us  inland  required  no  apology  to  me,  1  am  only  sorry  this  backward 
season  will  not  admit  of  so  early  a  departure  as  we  could  wish.  It  would  not  bo 
right  to  lose  any  advantage  within  our  reach  for  the  transport  of  stores,  particularly 
-when  so  many  untoward  circumstances  conspire  against  ns  that  require  exertion  to 
surmount.  You  have  therefore  my  ready  concurrence  to  dispose  ot  myself  &  people 
for  the  advancement  of  this  desirable  end. 

I  herewith  enclose  a  list  of  the  eflfective  men  &  the  officers  now  with  me  that 
you  may  decide  on  what  number  of  them  shall  be  sent  across  the  river.  Some  offi- 
cers must  of  course  be  with  the  men  wherever  they  go,  &  not  one  half  of  those  with 
me  are  required  here.  Prom  this  to  Flamboro'  Head  the  river  is  extremely  rough  & 
there  is  no  snow  for  hauling  by  land  ;  however,  those  are  trifling  impediments  that 
we  can  overcome.  I  imagine  some  where  about  the  place  where  the  small  house  was 
burnt  will  be  most  centrical  for  the  party  that  goes  across.  The  two  men  I  now 
send  will  require  assistance  of  men  and  sleds  to  bring  the  tents. 

There  is  an  indiflferent  carpenter  here,  a  very  slow  hand  ;  I  will  send  him  to  the 
Factory  if  required,  What  is  to  be  done  with  the  Boats  here  ?  They  are  yet  fast  in 
the  ice  &  cannot  be  touched. 

I  enclose  a  return  of  the  Delinquents  &  non  eiFective  men  for  your  information. 

I  am  my  dear  Sir 


Most  truly  Yours, 


Wm.  Auld,  Esq.

My  dkar  Sir, 


Nelson  Encampment, 

22d  May,  1812. 


At  this  late  period  an  hour  should  not  be  lost,  f  now  send  Mr.  McLeod  with  six 
men  across  the  river  to  be  ready  for  any  orders  you  may  give ;  they  are  the  most 
etfoctivo  of  my  people— I  may  reinforce  them  with  two  more  men,  you  know  my 
whole  strength  is  not  great.  Tiie  majority  of  men  hero  is  made  up  of  Felons,  Insur- 
gents, 2  non  effectives.  I  wish  you  could  employ  Michael  M.''Donnell,  he  &  another 
Gentleman  here,  retain  such  animobity  against  each  other  that  it  does  much  harm.  I 
ehall  be  much  disappo'nteci  if  he  does  not  make  an  active  &  good  officer. 

My  carpenter,  Johr  M'Kay,  has  broke  one  of  his  ribs  &  is  consequently  unfit  for 
any  thing  at  present.

Nelson  Encampment, 

29th  May,  1812. 

My  Lord, 

To  give  Your  Lordthip  a  proper  account  of  this  country,  would  requjre  abilities 
&  more  minute  knowledge  of  it  than  I  poseess.  A  cursory  view  of  York  Factory 
&  some  account  of  thoee  belonging  to  it  as  far  as  come  within  my  observation  is  all 
I  can  attempt. 

The  X'actory  is  built  at  the  distance  of  100  yards  from  the  North  Bank  of  Hayes' 
Eiver,  in  low  miiy  ground  without  a  ditch.  The  stagnate  water  by  which  it  is 
always  surrounded  except  when  Frozen,  would  be  productive  of  much  ill-health  had 
they  a  longer  summer.  The  chief  Building  is  two  storeys  high  &  covered  with  lead 
— the  whole  badly  planned  &  as  badly  constructed,  make  but  an  indifferent  appear- 
ance, inconvenient  in  every  respect,  &  not  at  all  calculated  for  a  cold  country.  Eooms 
all  laid  out  &  connecting  with  each  other  by  narrow  cold  passages.  The  best  rooms 
have  grates  such  as  are  used  in  England  for  burning  coals,  out  of  which  the  front  bars 
are  taken  to  get  wood  into  to  burn  on  end.  All  their  chimneys  are  deep  narrow 
holes  with  straight  jams,  the  wood  is  burnt  in  them  on  end,  &  except  immediately 
in  front  the  heat  goes  principally  up  the  chimney,  there  is  neither  a  Canadian  or 
Swedish  stove  used  in  all  the  country.  There  is  a  ground  cellar  under  one  part  of 
the  building,  but  it  keeps  nothing  from  freezing,  and  for  want  of  a  drain  it  is  con- 
stantly filled  with  water,  until  the  frost  sets  in  hard.  The  site  of  the  old  Factory 
about  half  a  mile  below  was  in  my  opinion  preferable,  on  a  dry  point,  where  Hayes' 
Eiver  &  a  Creek  coming  into  it  washed  two  sides.  The  French  had  a  Factory  some 
miles  above  before  they  gave  up  the  country  at  the  Treaty  of  Utrecht. 

The  whole  pile  of  buildings  except  the  Launch  house  &  canoe  store,  are  sur- 
rounded by  a  single  pile  of  pickets  forming  an  oblong  square  of  400  feet  front  to  the 
river  &  300  ftet  depth'.  The  pickets  are  about  18  feet  above  the  ground  &  so  slender 
&  open  that  they  would  give  no  t^ecurity  against  an  enemy.  A  store  called  the 
Launch  house  built  dose  to  the  wharf  on  the  river  bank,  is  annually  in  danger  of 
being  carried  away  at  breaks  up  of  the  ice  in  spring.  To  guard  against  this  casualty 
the  stores  must  be  timely  removed  into  the  Factory.  Last  year  the  water  at  the 
breaking  up  of  the  river  flowed  into  YF.  and  the  people  had  boats  ready  manned  at 
the  front  gate  to  save  themselves  and  some  of  the  property. 

There  is  ro  garden  cultivated  at  TF.  I  am  convinced,  however,  short  as  the 
season  is,  that  abundance  of  green  vegetables  and  potatoes  might  bo  raised.  A  gar- 
den formerly  cultivated  at  the  old  Factory  produced  well.  The  present  chief  has  no 
taste  that  way.  On  landing  last  fall  I  saw  cabbages  at  table  for  dinner,  but  they 
''ere  brought  from  Churchill  where  a  garden  is  culti'  -^ted  with  success.  The  season 
f  here  too  short  for  raising  grain  but  good  meado  ^night  be  made  in  every  part  I 
,ave  yet  seen.  The  land  is  level,  wet  and  generally  covered  with  moss  through 
miich  grass  frequently  penetrates.  1  imagine  wherever  grass  grows  wild  it  would 
grow  by  culture.  The  banks  of  rivers  and  ravines  are  from  15  to  ^00  feet  high  except 
immediately  on  the  sea  coast  where  the  shore  is  very  flat,  and  back  from  it  a  gradual 
rito.  This  alTords  a  facility  for  ditchirg.  There  are  tbiee  cows  atd  as  many  boiKcs

V/illm.  Finlfty  first  sot  tho  oxaraplo  of  disobeying  my  order  to  drink  tho  spruce 
at  the  most  iiluiming  time  of  tho  disorder;  for  this  I  put  him  off  worlt  for  two  or 
three  d;iy-(  and  not  intendinc:  to  j?o  further  lengths  with  him  ho  was  ordered  to 
resucQO  work,  hut  this  ho  refused  saying  ho  would  work  no  moro.  Ah  he  porsistod 
iu  this  dotormiiiation,  altho'  froquontly  ordered  to  work,  aftor  a  week  had  passed,  1 
eammoi  up  hin  conduct  when  detached  with  iMichael  MacDonnoU  with  what  took  p'aoo 
here  and  had  him  brought  before  Mr.  Hillier  as  a  Magistrate  when  different  misdo- 
meanorn  were  proved  against  him  as  Your  Lordship  will  find  in  Document  No.  2,  for 
which  he  waj  sentenced  to  confinement  as  a  refractory  servant.  Not  thinking  it  any 
punishment  that  ho  should  oat,  fileop&  sit  idle  in  tho  "floaso  with  tho  other  men,  I 
had  a  Hut  built  for  him  to  which  ho  was  removed.  A  paity  he  had  formed  among 
the  people  at^sombled  to  tho  number  of  13  men  on  tho  first  night  of  his  confinement 
(12  February)  &  burnt  tho  Hut  to  tho  Ground,  triumphantly  shouting  in  tho  most 
audacious  manner  when  they  had  got  it  in  flames.     Their  huzzaing  brought  mo  oat, 

I  found  them  all  at  tho  Hut,  &  had  their  names  taken  down  on  tho  spot. 

Mr.  Hilliev  sat  with  me  next  day  when  wo  had  these  Insurgents  brought  before 
m  &  proceodod  .Hgainst  them  as  per  Document  No.  3.  At  tho  examination  of  tho  last 
evidence  they  refused  to  submit  to  our  authority  &  contemptuously  walked  away. 
None  ot  tho  Highlanders  or  Irish  were  concerned  in  this  affair— nme  of  thorn  are 
from  Glasgow,  of  Capt.  Eodk.  McDonald's  List  &  four  from  tho  Orkneys,  young  lads 
"tat  were  induced  to  join  them.     I  struck  them  all  off  duty.     Put  them  v^ith  Pinlay 

I I  the  lower  hou«e  of  my  people  and  removed  the  other  men  from  them.  They 
brouqrht  provisions  for  themselves  weekly  from  the  Factory  for  which  I  signed  aa 
ordc/  &  were  in  this  state  untill  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Auld  ;  ho  spoke  to  them  hero   oa 

bo  27  April.  I  wont  early  in  May  to  the  Factory  to  concert  measures  with  Mr. 
Auld ;  it  was  agreed  between  us  that  they  shonld  be  taken  into  tho  Cos.  service 
rather  than  be  sent  homo.  On  my  return  proposals  to  this  effect  were  made  to  tliem 
as  pu,  up  in  Document  No,  3  &  rejected,  endeavors  wore  m.ade  before  this  to  break 
the  combination  by  getting  the  Orkney  lad?  away  from  them,  but  those  would  not 
agree  to  any  iiccoramodation  without  tho  rest.  It  was  reported  by  some  of  the  Cos. 
other  (jorvauts  that  all  those  men  disliked  tr)  bo  employed  in  tho  cultivation  of  lands ; 
but  this  they  themselves  publicly  denied.  They  expressed  unwillingness  to  serve  in 
any  capacity  as  they  were  not  treated  iu  a  manner  they  had  a  right  to  expect  from 
premises  made  thom  by  tho  agent  at  tho  time  of  engaging.  This  is  ail  the  defence 
they  have  yet  attempted  to  make. 

The  litigious  &  discontented  spirit  of  these  men  has  been  fomented  by  Wm. 
Finlay  &  other  old  hands ;  all  the  men  at  tho  Factory  were  their  friends  and  abet- 
tors. Tfaoy  were  always  well  received  there  and  allowed  to  sleep  at  the  Factory  when 
our  men  going  there  for  provisions  had  to  go  back  to  a  hut  3  miles  off.  Three 
visitors  from  Glasgow  (Messrs.  Carswell,  Brown,  &  Fisher)  have  kept  up  an  inter- 
course with  them  all  winter  against  orders  to  the  contrary,  furnished  them  with 
arms  and  ammunition  for  hunting,  &  even  carried  to  thom  every  word  thoy  hoard 
spoken  among  us  concerning  thom.  Countenanced  as  they  have  boeu  it  is  not  sur- 
prisitu;:  those  raon  should  reject  our  offers.  Tho  old  hands  have  done  their  utmost  to 
corrupt  not  only  these  men  but  all  my  paople.  Every  tima  a  parry  was  sent  to  the 
Factory  tho  rnen  were  tampered  with,  &  always  roturnod  with  some  discouraging 
story.  Tho  mischiefs  to  bo  dreaded  from  tho  Ked  River  Inds.  have  not  been  over*- 
looked,  and  wore  painted  with  most  terrific  forms.  Considerable  impressions  wore 
made  in  this  way.  I  hope  they  have  now  however  nearly  exhausted  their  inventive 
faculties. 

I  800  no  r.'source  now  left  but  that  of  sending  those  Insurgents  home,  there 
being  no  controlling  power  in  this  country  to  manage' them.  Their  accts.  are  made 
up  to  tho  12th  Feby.  &  and  since  they  have  had  nothing  from  us  but  provisions. 
They  cannot  claim  any  part  of  their  wages  from  the  beginning.  I  am  only  mortified 
at  tho  grvat  alvances  that  were  made  them  at  the  time  of  engaging  &  and  the  sub- 
CtJi^uen*.  exporsos 'hoy  have  incurred.  Two  young  Avri tors  who  wintered  with  me, 
John  McLeod  f'-om  Lewis  &  Michael  McDonnell  from   Kiliala  are   well  acijuainted

Sunday  afternoon  2lHt  Juno  tho  ice  mo 7ed  a  little  in  front  of  our  encampment, 
&  cleared  tho  mouth  of  tho  crook  our  boat8  wore  in,  but  remained  still  fast  below. 
1  oxpcou'd  wo  might  by  ^'oing  up  a  milo  above  Soal  Island,  gain  the  S3Uth  Channel 
■which  was  open.  With  this  intention  everything  was  embarked  &  wo  loft  tho  place 
at  lU  oclock  next  day;  much  ice  was  drifting,  wo  had  four  boats,  two  of  them  very 
largo  it  iinmunugoiibio.  I  got  lound  with  3  men  in  u  small  boat  and  arrived  at 
tho  Factory  at  6  o'clock  next  morning  2]rd  Juno,  tho  other  boats  put  back,  got 
entantrjod  in  tho  ico,  &  by  tho  awkwardness  of  the  people,  thoy  boing  chiefly  non 
€ffoctiV(i-',  ono  lurge  boat  got  adrift  &  was  abandoned  by  the  crow.  She  contained 
the  stores  and  luggage  of  myself  &  party,  &  was  found  by  an  Indian  two  days  after- 
wards stranded  on  south  side  the  river  near  tho  Factory  path,  completely  wrecked 
and  the  lading  wtill  in  hor.  She  had  floated  there  by  moans  of  a  quantity  of  boards 
and  oars  that  had  been  placed  under  tho  lading.  I  sent  a  party  from  bore  and  had 
all  tho  things  saved,  with  little  damage  from  having  got  wet.  The  ice  opened  at  tho 
Seal  Islamls,  and  tho  rest  of  my  people  came  here  25th  Juno. 

Mr.  Auld  thought  it  best  that  1  should  wait  till  tho  people  from  inland  should 
arnvo.  no  particular  party  could  be  assigned  mo  till  then  ;  tho  men  were  in  tho  mean 
tiino  oniployod  in  transporting  my  stores  along  with  the  Cos  gooJH  to  tho  mouth  of 
Hill  River.  Mossra  Bird,  Sinclair,  &  House  arrived  the  2Hth  Juno,  and  on  the  Ist 
Instant  the  men  woro  divided.  22  is  my  portion  out  of  49,  all  that  are  effootivo  of 
last  yoar'rt  importation.  The  poople  ore  ho  fluctuating  that  I  cannot  yet  send  a  list 
of  my  p:ti  Ly.  A  man  of  ono  nation  is  prejudiced  against  going  with  one  of  another. 
I  shall  go  on  with  any  number,  lake  possession  of  the  tract  &  hoist  tho  standard. 

It  will  never  do  after  this  to  take  tho  colonists  from  among  the  Cos  servants, 
tho  Orknoymen  are  so  averse  to  labour  that  thoy  prefer  the  Cos  service  to  agricul- 
ture, and  all  being  engaged  in  the  name  of  the  Co  they  object  to  servo  in  the  colony 
thinking  it  a  separate  concern.  The  common  servants  have  entirely  tho  rulo  here. 
Mr.  Bird's  men  came  down  yesterday  in  a  body  from  tho  Rock,  contrary  to  tho 
express  orders  of  their  chief,  who  left  them  above  to  bo  transporting  tho  goods  over 
tho  carrying  places.  I  shall  got  up  by  mixing  my  people  &  stores  with  thoso  ot 
the  inlanders  ;  some  pan  of  my  stores  must  unavoidably  bo  loft.  No  assistance  from 
here  is  promised  next  fall  to  those  coming  out.  I  cannot  possibly  afford  them  any 
&  I  dread  the  families  wintering  here,  in  which  event  some  must  perish,  '& 
the  report  will  spread  far  &  wide.  I  shall  endeavour  to  send  Mr.  MoRae  down  from 
Winipic  to  meet  them,  &  there  is  a  chance  of  my  engaging  some  of  Mr.  Bird's  free 
inlanders.  I  know  tho  littlo  exertion  of  people  here,  &  tho  confusion  at  ship  time, 
there  is  not  a  place  alottod  for  tho  reception  of  tho  colonists,  they  must  of  course  lav 
in  tents.  '       ^  '

•old  etump  above,  which  stick  had  been  then  in  use  for  three  years.  Mr.  n.  indeed 
went  further  and  acknowledged  that  on  reflection  when  at  the  bottom  ho  entertained 
fomedoubla  their  boin^'  able  toreascend.  However,  they  all  got  up  safe  with  no  other 
loss  than  the  feet  of  their  stockings  which  wore  poi  loctly  worn  out.  Wo  next  wont 
back  a  few  yards  to  the  brink  of  the  Falls  and  found  to  my  surprise  that  we  could 
not  only  approach  close  to  the  top  of  the  Falls  but  that  the  water  was  nearly  on  a 
level  with  the  flat  rock  on  which  we  stood,  (marked  1,)  that  I  could  without  the  least 
danger  stoop  and  take  up  the  water  with  my  hand  after  it  had  fallen  over  the  preci- 
pice. The  view  which  we  have  here  straight  over  the  Fall  is  very  fine,  but  not  so 
grand  as  the  one  wo  had  before  left,  oxce]jt  that  we  saw  the  pillar  of  spray 
to  greater  advantage,  as  the  Fall  from  whence  it  proceeded  appeared  leas  in 
this  direction  than  the  former,  I  do  not  know  how  long  wo  should  have 
Blood  looking  at  the  scone  befoi'e  us,  if  the  setting  of  the  sun  had  not  reminded  us 
that  it  was  time  to  return,  on  which  we  began  to  retreat.  After  we  had  returned 
more  than  a  mile,  on  looking  back  from  a  little  eminence  we  could  sco  the  spray  of 
the  Fall  rising^io  an  imracDBe  height  above  the  surrounding  woods,  like  the  large 
column  of  smoke  which  ascends  from  any  largo  building  on  fire,  but  not  of  po  dark  a 
colour.  Having  gone  a  little  further  we  came  to  the  house  of  Mr.  PEilip  Stodraau 
•wharo  we  passed  an  agreeable  hour  in  company  with  him  and  his  nicco.  As  Mr. 
Humphry  and  myself  had  no  business  at  the  Fort,  we  staid  a  short  time  aflsr  the 
rest  of  the  party,  and  were  at  last  going  in  quest  of  our  supper  without  any  liopes  of 
seeing  any  thing  more  of  the  Fall  for  the  night.  Notwithstanding  it  was  the  very 
middle  of  summer  and  the  diy  had  been  extremely  hot,  the  night  was  very  cold  so 
that  wo  had  run  a  good  deal  of  the  way,  when  stopping  just  before  the  Fort  gate 
we  saw  the  most  beautiful  as  well  ss  strange  appearance,  that  can  be  well  conceived. 
it^was  the  moon  which  was  now  just  sotting  behind  the  spray  of  the  Falls  ;  it  ap- 
peared to  rise  to  a  very  uncommon  height  in  likeness  of  a  very  dark  column,  but  the 
thinner  part  of  the  spray  which  admitted  the  light  through  it,  gave  all  the  edge  of 
the  column  a  luminous  appearance  which  looked  more  like  a  pillar  of  smoke  fringed 
round  with  fire,  than  anything  I  can  compare  it  to.  Not  wishing  ■'.o  iieep  the  siyht 
to  ourselves  we  ran  t  j  call  the  rest  whom  we  found  collected  round  a  largo  fire  from 
which  wo  could  with  great  difficulty  draw  them,  as  they  supposed  it  was  only  a  story 
made  for  the  purpijse  of  drawing  them  from  their  seats  by' the  fire,  that  wo  might 
ourselves  get  possession  of  them,  by  which  moans  thoy  were  not  out  until  the  moon 
was  very  near  gone,  when  from  what  they  saw  they  sincerely  lamented  they  had 
been  so  tenacious  of  their  seat!'.  This  over  wa  all  returned  to  the  Fort  and  after  a 
hearty  supper  we  returned  to  Mr.  Stcdmans  again  to  bad  and  niept  very  sound  until 
past  7  oclock  next  morning  (19"")  at  which  time  from  the  orders  which  had  been 
given  to  the  servants  over  night,  J  was  in  hopes  our  chair  and  I.tsosw.i  eon  the  other 
aide  of  the  water  ;  in  this  I  was  again  disappointed.  I  next  hastened  to  the  Fort  with 
all  expedition,  where  I  found  both  officers  and  men  still  in  bed,  from  whence  they 
were  soon  roused  and  a  boat  and  party  of  men  got  to  put  the  ehair  and  horses  over, 
which  wo  goon  sent  off  with  oidors  to  land  them  on  the  north  nido  of  the  Chipaway 
Creek,  whilst  wo.  having  procured  Mr.  Stodman's  light  boat,  rem.  .ned  behind  to 
breakfast.  Breakfast  being  finished,  wo  left  Mr.  Brunton  alone  ai  his  now  Government, 
about  ten  in  the  forenoon,  and  after  having  rowed  up  a  mile  or  more  under  the  East 
shore,  wo  crossed  to  a  very  large  island  that  lies  in  the  middle,  which  having  gained 
we  rowed  up  under  its  western  bank  for  a  considerable  distance  before  wo  ventured 
to  cross  to  the  western  side  of  the  river.  At  lengtn  we  made  our  croB.sing  jrood  and 
landed  about  four  miles  above  the  Falls,  at  a  farmof  Mr.  Stedman's ;  hero  Mr.  Ilamiltorj 
left  U8  and  striking  to  the  left  went  to  Fort  Brio,  whilst  the  rest  of  us  taking  the 
right-hand  road  after  a  walk  of  two  miles  came  to  Chipaway  Creek  where  we  found 
our  horses  at  the  house  of  a  Mr.  Birch,  one  of  the  principal  people  in  the  settlement. 
As  the  squire  V7as  not  at  home,  wo  were  glad  to  wave  the  ceremony  of  a  visit,  so  as  soon 
as  our  cavalry  wore  ready  we  set  out  towards  the  Falls.  About  another  mile  brought 
ti8  to  the  head  of  the  rapid,  and  a  short  way  further  wo  came  to  a  mill  Mr.  Birch  has 
lately  built;  it  appears  to  mo  to  bo  a  very  elegant  rieco  of  workmaiihhlo  and  is  to  1m

tlerH ;  ho  is  to  employ  a  petHon  in  whom  ho  ban  conttdonoe,  to  malte 
inquiry  concerning  the  qunntity  that  may  bu  proiMirod,  with  all  the 
necoHHary  information  as  to  trannport,  &o.  From  3,000  to  B.OOO 
busbeU  will  b«  wanteil.  Part  will  be  got  trom  the  Mohawic  Valley. 
To  aooortuin  parliculurM  of  the  dimth  of  one  Harris,  a  rangor,  said 
to  have  been  killed  whilst  making  bis  escape  from  the  Colonies. 
(The  ditle  is  written  June,  apparently  an  error.)  ^^K^  91 

Saine  lo  Sir  John  Johnson,  ilis  Hxcelloniiy  is  pleased  to  find 
that  ihe  arrival  of  tools  bus  quieted  the  apjirohensions  of  the  loyalists 
at  Cataraqui,  end  that  the  augmentation  of  the  ration  has  been 
attended  with  such  good  consequences.  Hu  rogrets  the  indifference 
of  the  loyalists  to  tho  oonMoquonoeH  of  bin  having  taken  that  step. 
A  review  ol  the  provittions  shows  the  absolute  necoMHity  of  economy. 
Orders  have  been  sent  to  the  upper  posts  to  reduce  the  allowance 
to  the  Indians  and  Indian  Department.  The  continuance  of  the 
heavy  expenditure  to  the  Lidians  much  surprises  His  Excellency, 
as  he  bad  understood  they  had  cultivated  grounds  at  the  new  settle- 
ment sufBciont,  or  nearly  so,  to  support  ibemselves.  To  send  off 
every  man  from  the  upper  posts  who  can  be  diKpenfied  with ;  De 
Peyster  has  orders  to  send  down  all  loyalints  who  do  not  imme- 
diately sotile.  Tho  difHculty  of  obtaining  seed  wheat.  He  (Johnson) 
is  to  send  off  a  person  immediately  to  make  inquiry  concerning  a 
supply.  Oa 

Same  to  DePeystor.  His  Excellon'oy  is  astonished  at  the  number 
of  Indians,  of  the  Indian  Dopartmont  and  of  loyalists  drawing  pro 
visions  at  Niagara,  as  the  former  have  long  since  boon  settled  on 
their  lands  and  require  little  or  no  assistance,  except  those  going 
with  Joseph  to  head  of  the  lake.  He  cannot  understand  bow  66 
persons  oun  be  employed  in  the  Indian  Department.  Orders  have 
been  sent  to  Sir  John  Johnson  to  dismiss  all  who  can  be  dispensed 
with.  Detailed  instruclions  given  as  to  the  measures  to  be  taken  to 
reduce  the  issue  of  provisions,  so  as  to  prevent  any  misfortune  from 
a  want  of  them  during  tho  winter.  96 

Certificate  by  iialdimand,  that  he  had  given  permission  to 
Messrs.  Elliott  and  Baby,  late  captains  in  the  Western  Indian  Deparlr. 
ment,  to  take  two  bateaux  loads  of  merchandise  to  Detroit.  They 
are  to  bo  assisted  and  their  goods  taken,  freight  free,  in  the  King's 
vessels.  98 

Mathews  to  St.  Leger.  His  Excellency  gives  him  permission  to 
transmit  to  Lord  Fred.  CavendiMh  the  evidence  of  tho  presumption 
and  unworthy  conduct  of  Scott  in  this  Province  (see  p.  80);  other 
evidence  will  be  forthcoming  if  necensary.  99 

Same  to  Claus.  His  Excellency  has  no  objection  to  his  going  to 
England  to  support  his  claim  for  Iokhcs,  and  will  do  anything  in  bis 
power  to  promote  his  interest  and  welfare.  100 

Same  to  French.  Directing  him  to  proceed  to  obtain  a  supply  of 
seed-wheat  in  accordaiice  with  tho  terms  of  tho  last  letter  written  to 
him.  101 

Same  to  Arthur  McDonell.  Informing  bira  that  a  warrant  will 
be  issued  for  £20  being  a  half  year's  payment.  102 

Same  lo  Barnes.  Bis  Excellency  has  ordered  a  full  ration 
for  the  loyalists  notwithntanding  the  order  of  the  Treasury  to 
reduce  it.  The  inconvenience  this  may  cause  to  the  people  them- 
selves, unless  the  utmost  economy  be  observed,  as  a  large  proportion

Mathews  to  Sherwood.  His  Excellency  is  much  pleased  at  favour-

So  soon  as  they  have  made  their  agreements  they  are  to  report  i»

He  (MathewH)  has  made  an  abstract  of  them.  A  party  of  Indians 
has  lately  arrived  from  the  River  St.  John,  with  a  young  Indian 
from  near  Penobscot,  who  murdered  McNeal  of  Qaebeo  and  his 
guide,  l£  leagues  below  Kamouraekaon  their  way  to  Halifax.  Kelly 
a  trader,  and  an  Indian  are  witnesses.  The  chiefs  have  behaved  well 
in  bringing  the  murderer  and  leaving  the  Indians  of  their  own  tribe 
until  the  trial,  which  will  take  place  at  the  next  assises.  The  ,

Innes  to  the  game.  Arrival  of  General  O'Eeilly  at  the  Belize

Innis  to  Haldimand.  The  French  inhabitants  of  the  Lakes  and 
Eiver  Pearl  complain  of  the  ravages  committed  by  the  Indiana. 
General  O'Eeilly  is  settling  a  form  of  Government  at  New  Orleans, 
not  very  agreeable  to  the  French  ;  has  sent  no  troops  up  the  Mis- 
sissippi ;  apparently,  the  Spaniards  have  no  intention  of  iortifying 
their  posts  on  that  river.  They  have  3,000  troops,  a  number  neces- 
sary to  subdue  Louisiana.  Ensign  Cambel  has  returned  from  New 
Orleans,  where  he  went  without  acquainting  him  (Innis)  and  has 
not  called  since  his  return.  Desires  instructions,  Cambel's  con-

AocouDt  follows.  92 

Lieut.  H.  Skjnner.    Memorial  respecting  rations  to  the  men  of 
■  the  Royal  Artillery  whilst  on  board  transport  for  St.  Augustine,  for 
which  no  stoppages  were  made.  94 

N.  to  Haldimand.  The  disagreeable  voyage  through  the  Keys  ; 
the  ship  nearly  wrecked.  The  wonderful  improvement  in  the 
iaiant  colony.  Provisions  plentiful  and  cheap.  Society  increased 
and  it  looks  like  the  golden  age  renewed.  The  different  opinions 
respecting  the  proceedings  of  Governor  Durnford.  Governor  Browne 
has  loft,  after  a  duel  with  Evan  Jones,  and  after  calling  out  Hodge 
and  Godley  who  apologized.  He  intended  calling  out  some  more, 
but  was  bound  over  to  keep  the  peace.  A  new  road  to  be  cut 
through  the  woods  to  Mobile.  Nothing  but  feasting  and  drinking 
since  the  regiment  returned.  9(j 

W.  Clifton  to  the  same.  Arrival  of  the  Slst  Regiment ;  regrets 
that  he  (Haldimand)  was  not  coming.  The  favourable  prospects  of 
the  new  Lieut.  Governor  putting  the  place  in  a  state  of  increase. 
Society  notes.  Introducing  his  step-son,  Lieut.  James  Winter. 
The  harmony  between  the  civil  and  military  promoted  by  Captain 
Innes.  9g 

James  Jones  to  the  same.  The  gratification  at  the  reinforcement 
of  troops.  It  leads  him  not  to  despair  of  seeing  West  Florida  again 
the  headquarters  for  the  Southern  district ;  confidence  in  the  good 
effects  of  Lt.  Governor  Durnford 's  ^rival.  His  (Haldimand's) 
house  put  in  good  order.  The  chances  of  sale  not  good,  unless  the 
planters  of  East  Florida  transfer  their  operations  to  the  more  fertile 
lands  of  West  Florida.  The  loss  by  the  conduct  of  his  (Haldimand's) 
agent.  The  wretched  state  of'  the  people  of  Louisiana  under 
Spanish  rule  ;  their  proposals  to  take  sanctuary  under  the  British 
Government,  but  have  been  amused  with  promises  till  it  is  too  late. 
Had  there  been  an  establishment  (military)  on  the  Mississippi  more 
than  half  of  the  inhabitants  of  Louisiana  would  have  taken  shelter. 
The  trade  circumscribed  by  the  Spaniards  ;  plan  in  contemplation 
by  him  (Jones)  and  his  brothers  for  a  lucrative  trade  on  the  river. 
He  will  keep  in  mind  the  suggested  attempt  towards  the  Florida 
Keys.  Wishes  him  (Haldimand)  a  safe  voyage  to  New  York. 
Would  have  sont  a  hogshead  of  claret  but  there  is  none  fit  to 
drink.  lOa 

Captain  Crofton  to  the  same.  Regrets  previous  irregularities  on 
the  provision  returns  ;  shall  be  punctual  in  future.  The  casualty 
returns.  104 

W.  Penn  to  the  same.     Respecting  musters  in  Bast  and   West 
Florida.     Applies  for  Mr.  Stewart's  office  should  it  be  vacant.     10&

Tis'  true  they  had  made  no  laws,  but  Dr.  Turn  bull  had  raised  provi- 
sions for  his  settlement  and  would  send  5,000  weight  of  indigo  ta

Major  Mathews  to  the  same.  That  he  has  sent  off  the  effects. 
Arrival  of  Sir  Guy  Carloton  looked  for.  The  abilities  of  BriKadier 
Hope  ;  his  hospitality  injuring  his  private  fortune.  The  Province 
tranquil,  but  doubts  if  the  people  have  abandoned  their  desire 
for  a  charge  in  the  form  of  government.  Brigadier  Hope  on  the 
other  hand  blamed  for  too  conciliatory  a  policy  towards  the  opposors 
of  government.  Mr.  Bailly's  statement  as  to  manner  of  gettinff 
up  the  petitions  for  changes  in  the  form  of  government  and 
the  conduct  of  the  clergy  in  relation  to  the  subject.  The  minds  of 
the  people  so  debauched  that  the  Americans  would  have  met  with 
no  opposition.  The  odious  character  of  Eochoblave.  Baillv  and

settled  for  the  last  payment  for  Montmorency  and  apprentice  fee 
for  Louis  Collins.  Death  of  Gugy  ;  not  much  benefit  to  his  heirs. 
Ihe  Countess  has  secured  everything  and  no  mention  is  made  of  his 
(Genevay  8)  advances.  Gugy's  life  shortened  by  law  suits,  &c.  210 
Major  Mathews  to  the  same.  Arrival  of  Lord  Dorchester 
(Garieton).  Ho  (Mathews)  has  received  his  commission  as  Lieute- 
nant Governor;  no  appointments  are  yet  made.  Cuthbert  and

declines  purchasing  Montmorency.  Personal  matter.  Sailing  of

Same  to  the  same.  The  confusion  consequent  on  the 
arrival  of  Lord  Dorchester,  &e.,  has  prevented  closing  the  settlement 
tor  the  furniture.  Inventory  and  list  of  eff'ects  sent.  Lord  Dor- 
chester appears  to  intend  to  continue  the  old  system.  The  extrav- 
agant  hopes  of  Mabane.  The  character  of  Justice  Smith.  Eocheblave's 
assurance.  The  cruel  situation  of  Colonel  Wiseman  obliged  to  be 
under  the  orders  of  Major  Ancrnm.  220 

Brigadier  Hope  to  the  same  (in  French).  Thanka  for  remem- 
Isrance.  His  state  of  doubt.  If  it  cannot  be  arranged  to  leave  him 
in  Quebec,  he  will  take  his  chances  in  England,  but  he  will  remain 
gr  the  winter.    The  confidence  placed  in  him  by  Lord  Dorchester.

Same  to  the  same.  Has  ordered  St.  George  du  Pr6  to  mend  the 
road  to  Lachino.  Bellcstro  not  having  attended  to  it.  The  ill  dis- 
posed of  the  Six  Nations  inclined  to  cut  off  the  convoy  between 
Ofiwegatchio  and  Doer  Island ;  will  order  an  escort.  Leaves  tho 
quostion  of  aiinod  Canadian  officers  going  with  tho  bateaux  to  His 
Lxcellency's  judgment.  Upwaid  navigation  not  yet  practicable, 
but  intends  setting  off  in  an  hour's  time  in  hopes  to  find  moaDs  to 
proceed.  Eeport  that  rebels  have  been  seen  near  Oswego.  Will 
inquire  at  Carloton  Island  and  act  accordingly.  27 

Haldimand  to  Brehm  (in  French).    Disagreeable  letters  received 
fro.Q  Niagara  and  Detroit.     Hopes  ho  will  havo  arrived  before  tho 
news  reaches  him,  and  that  from  tho  instructions  given,  he  may 
secure  the  posts  and  havo  repairs  made.    If  tho  rangers  and  Indians 
are  active,  they  should  prevent  tho  rebels  from   penetrating  to  tho 
poets.    He  (Daldimacd)  will  do  everything  on  his  side  to  send  pro- 
visionp,  &c.    Carloton  to  go  to  Montreal  to  hasten  the  convoys  and 
Schanks  will  leave  in  a  few  days  for  Carlcton   Island  with   overy- 
tbng    neccsbary  for   tho   lake  marine,   and   with  100  sailors  and 
officers.     Will  not  issue  passes  for  Detroit  and  the  upper  country 
till  better  informed ;  hopes  to  havo  moie  Canadians  for  tho  bateaux. 
Hopes  that  part  of  the  garrison  at  Carleton  Island  and  of   the   pro- 
visions have  boon  sent  to  Niagara,  so  that  Bolton  can  send  reinforce- 
ments to  Detroit.    Is  sorry  to  hear  from  Lernoult  that  the  inhabit- 
ants are  not  well  disposed  ;  hopes  that  ho  (Brehra)  may  find  moans 
to  bring  them  back  to  their  duty  and  to  have  the  worst  arrested-  it 
18  only  by  vigorous  action  that  tho  embarrasfrmont  can  bo  removed. 
In  concert  with  Lernoult,  ho  may  select  some  one  to  take  charge  of 
the  Indians,  until  tho  return  of  Hamilton  or  Hay,  but  ho  is   not  to 
bo  allowed   to  incur  expenses.     Encloees  an   open   letter  for  De 
Peyster.    Sends  this  by  Capt.  Butler,  on  whose  activity  and  '>!eal  be 
relies  to  delay  the  march  of  the  rebels.  21>

No  great  tru^t  to  be  placed  in  the  Mis^is.auga  Indians.     Tho  winds      I

out  a  scout  of  Indians  to  Oswego,  and  will  report  direct.      No  agri-

reported  by  him  (Brehm)  are  in  a  better  situation  than  he  had 
hoped.  Is  milking  every  effort  to  send  provisions,  &c.,  for  the 
defence  of  the  posts.  Fears  fnost  the  want  of  provisiors  and  trusts 
that  the  commandants  will  do  everything  possible  to  save  them. 
The  only  news  from  Halifax  is  that  il  is  determined  to  push  the  war 
with  vigour.  Sends  newspapers  to  Bolton  which  may  reach  and 
amuse  DePeyster ;  hopes  that  communication  will  bo  kept  up  with 
bis  post,  as  often  as  possible.  Shanks  might  build  a  light 
vessel  suited  for  this  navigation.  Exorbitant  bills  drawn  by  Capt. 
(xrant,  of  the  Naval  Department ;  they  are  to  bo  carefully  scruti- 
nized and  everything  irregular  struck  out.  To  report  exactly  the 
whole  state  of  'fairs  as  it  is  neither  the  time,  nor  are  these  the  cir- 
cunostances,  in  which  any  one  can  be  spared.  80 

Same  to  the  same  (in  French),  Acknowledging  the  receipt  of 
letters.  Is  sending  all  the  provisions  possible  to  the  posts,  even  at 
the  ri(.k  of  depriving  this  part  of  Canada  of  supplies.  No  ships  from 
Europe  yet;  Major  Holland  arrived  from  Halifax,  reports  the  nation 
resolved  on  war.  Has  sent  iO  men  to  push  on  the  works  at  Carleton 
Island,  taking  artillery,  &c ,  asked  for  by  Bolton,  who  had  received 
orders  to  tend  to  Detroit  the  necessary  artillery,  replacing  it  by  that 
now  sent.  Trusts  to  his  (B.ehm's)  activity  and  zeal  to  carry  out 
the  orders  given  him  respectir  g  the  post.  Has  sent  orders  to  arrest, 
if  necessary,  the  principal  disturbers  in  Detroit,  and  even  to  take 
hostages  to  be  sent  to  Niagara  to  secure  the  fidelity  of  the  rest. 
Kespecting  Grant's  accounts  for  the  marire  ;  Schanks  to  have  them 
all  carefully  examined,  and  make  a  report.  If  Grant  cannot  settle 
the  accounts  according  to  the  prescribed  rules,  he  is  to  be  sent  to 
Quebec,  to  be  examined  concerning  the  enormous  expenses.  The 
enormous  consumption  of  provisions  caused  by  useless  people  at  the 
posts,  may  occasion  iheir  loss.  §2

Brehm  to  Haldimand.  Had  taken  advantai?e  of  the  time  be  had 
to  wait  for  news  from  Michillimakinak  to  run  down  to  Sandubky 
and  the  mouth  of  tho  Miami  to  look  out  for  places  for  ccorehonses. 
Has  found  two  islands  suitable  for  the  purpose,  of  which  sketches 
are  sent.  Has  received  intimation  of  his  appointment  as  barrack 
master,  for  which  he  returns  thanks.  Works  in  progress  by  Lernoult 
and  his  garrison.  The  trouble  taken  to  get  water  into  the  post. 
Bolton  expects  an  expedition  against  him  ;  does  not  think  it  possible, 
rut  Bolton  is  right  to  be  cautious.  Page  86 

Same  to  the  same.  On  account  of  DePeystor's  safety,  trade  may 
be  carried  on  to  the  North  West  and  merchandize  sent  up  without 
risk.  Will  send  such  supplies  as  he  can  to  the  posts,  leaving  the 
rest  to  be  sent  from  Quebec.  No  cannon  nor  musket  paper  for  oar- 
tndges  to  be  got  on  either  communication.  The  inconvenience  of 
not  having  a  list  of  scores  sent.  The  great  expense  of  stores  and 
the  cause;  suafgests  a  central  storehouse  at  Niagara,  and  how  to  be 
supplied.  Romarks  on  the  proper  method  of  dealing  with  barrack 
stores,  &o.  Blankets,  furniture,  &c.,  should  be  sent  to  all  the  posts 
to  be  delivered  at  Niagara.  McKee  reports  that  it  is  doubtful  if  the 
Shawanese,  Delawares  and  Sanduskies  will  resist  the  rebels  much 
longer,  if  no  troops  can  be  sent  to  support  them.  Rebels  using  every 
moans  to  detach  the  Indiant^.  The  difficulty  of  defending  such  aa 
extent  of  territory  with  so  few  troops.  Proposes  to  build  bateaux 
at  the  Cedars,  instead  of  at  Montreal;  collect  the  stores  and  send 
them  off  from  there  whence  they  can  go  much  earlier  to  the  upper 
posts  than  from  Montreal.  Other  advantages  urged.  Will  wait 
arrival  of  Shawanese  chiefs  before  leaving  for  Niagara.  88 

Same  to  the  same.  Tho  returns  show  the  impossibility  of  lessening 
the  expenses  at  tho  posts, where  this  would  have  been  done  long  ago 
but  for  tho  fear  of  discontei.t  and  mutiny.  Urges  a  larger  allow- 
ance to  Mr.  Baby ;  his  views  as  to  tho  necessity  of  having  troops 
and  office!  8  to  lead  them,  if  the  Indians  are  to  act  in  a  large  body 
supported  by  those  of  McKee.  93 

Same  to  the  same.  Sands  this  letter  witfi  Muisonvillo  as  an  evi- 
dence of  his  service-)  being  recognized.  Understands  that  he  is 
applying  for  1  he  pobt  of  G^rani  Foyer  to  the  settlement.  Is  sorry 
that  he  (Brehm)  cannot  leave  by  the  vessel  he  intended,  but 
Lernoult  wished  him  to  remain  on  account  of  defences.  The  in- 
creasing expenditure  of  rum,  on  account  of  the  number  of  Indians. 
The  enemy's  attack  on  Carleton  Island.  t)5 

Haldimand  to  Brehm  (in  French).  To  examine  carefully  the 
most  suitable  place  for  provision,  ko.  stores  at  tho  Codars,  and  also 
for  log  houses  to  lodge  a  company;  the  rest  of  the  detachment  might 
be  quartered  on  the  nearest  inhabit.nnts.  The  inconvenience  of 
establishing  a  yard  at  the  Cedars  for  building  bateaux,  all  the 
materials,  tho  workmen  and  their  families  beinsr  collected  at  Mon- 
treal. Has  allowed  40  canoes  to  leave  for  the  Grand  Portage,  and 
20  others  for  Michillimakinak.  Does  not  believe  it  would  be 
prudent  to  let  them  go  further.  97 

Brehm  to  Haldimand.  Indian  corn  bought  as  ordered.  Will  pass 
over  Indian  domands  as  thoy  cannot  be  complied  with.  Lernoult 
anxious  that  the  commission  of  justice  of  peace  he  has  issued  mar 
be  contirmed.  Sends  returns  of  craft,  &o.,  in  case  of  an  expedition 
to  the  we;(t  ward.  Reports  of  the  state  of  the  garrison  enclosed.

defend  the  town.  The  fitness  of  Capt.  Lernoult  for  the  office  of 
Adjutant  General ;  his  weak  constitulion  is  against  his  being  em- 
ployed to  command  an  expedition.  How  he  found  the  old  post  at 
Presque'lsie  ;  a  few  Indians  had  been  hunting  in  the  neighbourhood. 
Arrived  here  (Niagara)  on  the  22nd,  will  remain  for  some  days, 
and  go  by  the  Genessee,  Ironieqnat,  Grand  8od.i8  and  Orwego  to 
Carleton  Island.  Port  P>ie  has  only  partly  got  an  abatis  for  want 
of  men,  they  being  kept  employed  at  loading  vessels.  Trusts  an 
allowance  will  bo  made  to  the  subaltern  commanding  at  Port  Erie, 
the  expenses  being  so  great.  Gives  instance  of  additional  expenses 
at  the  posts.  Has  seen  Capt.  Schanks,  and  recommended  him  to 
keep  his  temper,  as  he  believed  (Japt.  Grant  was  acting  under 
orders.  Page  98 

Brohm  to  Mathews.  Enclosing  aocount  of  Stcdman's  respecting

to  Lernoult  to  hold  courts  martial.  Plan  of  rebul  fort  at  Tuscara-

Indians  in  fcrnnll  parties  cannot  prevent  the  progress  of  the  ecemy, 
and  in  largo  numbers  muft  have  white  officerp  and  troops  for  reasons 
given.  Shanks  has  brought  up  cohorns,  one  for  Detroit  and  one  for 
Nifigara,  calling  them  howitz-rs.  Lernoult  had  asked  for  royal 
howitzers.  Those  brought  usolcsn  for  the  purpose  for  which 
they  wore  wanted,  liospecting  the  supply  of  Indian  corn.  Could 
provisions  not  be  obtained  from  the  inhabitants  at  fixed  reasonable 
rates?  What  carriages  Stcd man  can  furnish  for  Oswego.  Bolton 
wants  more  provisions.  Ho  expects  to  be  obliged  to  maintain 
3,0)0  persons  this  wirter.  The  returns  show  how  they  inf-rease 
already.  State  of  the  fonitications  and  of  work  at  Port  Schlosser  and 
Port  Erie,  To  meet  the  demands  of  merchants  for  goods  destroyed 
has  had  a  writing  projjared  for  them  to  sign  that  they  will  ship  and

the  loss  of  the  Six  Nations.  Hopes  that  100  men  may  be  sent  to

Ilaldimand  to  Brehm  (in  Fionch).  In  glad  to  find  that  he  has 
gone  to  St.  John'rt,  &c. ,  along  wiih  Capt.  Twins,  to  examine  and 
arrange  for  stores,  wood,  &o.  Believes  that  the  veaso'H  would  be 
safer  at  Iple  aux  Noix  than  at  St.  John's.  The  ioo  rauy  allow  more 
exact  soundings  to  be  taken.  Wishoi*  to  have  his  viowB  com- 
municated to  Twiss,  80  that  no  useless  works  may  bo  begun.  If  the 
news  as  to  Oornwallis  be  verified  a  visit  from  the  rebels  in  spring  is 
rot  improbable.  Thinks  that  the  measures  taken  by  St.  Leger  and 
Chambers  will  prevent  any  attempt  to  burn  the  ohipH  during  the 
winter.  125

he  wants  Indians.  They  had  refused  to  go  on  account  of  the  un- 
favourable report  he  mude  of  them  last  fall.  He  (Powell)  has  talked 
ihera  over,  and  two  parties  are  setting  out.  The  rangers  with 
Major  Ross,  sent  down  last  month,  will  leave  him  less  at  a  loss.

Powell  to  Haldimand.  The  newn  from  Clinton  confirms  that 
already  received ;  has  sent  off  rangers,  and  desired  DePeyster  to 
keep  them  as  wall  as  the  men  they  were  sent  to  relieve.  The  post 
(Niagara)  rather  requires  reinforoemonts  than  any  to  bo  sent  from 
it,  on  account  of  the  enemy's  movements.  Has  sent  some  more 
Indians  to  Oswego,  but  retained  Brant  Capt.  Ancrum  of  the  34th, 
commanding  at  Carleton  Island,  complains  of  the  weakness  of  the 
garrison ;  suggests  that  part  of  Johnson's  2nd  Battalion  might  be 
left  there.  Is  fctending  down  Lieut.  Van  Camp  and  14  others, 
prisoners.  John  Rose,  of  the  rangers,  and  his  wife,  sent  down  for 
murder.    Six  loyalists  sent  away  to  save  provisions.  Page  39 

Butler  to  Powell.  Report  on  the  state  of  the  Indian  store,  and 
the  necessity  of  supplying  the  Indians  who  had  been  settled  with 
by  ticket,  but  now  demand  the  goods.  41 

Corporal  Sherwood  reports  having  left  Minisink  on  the  24th 
April.  Brinks,  a  loyalist  from  Philadelphia,  reported  Burgoyne  at 
Charlestowu ;  had  two  battles  with  the  rebels,  whom  he  defeated, 
and  had  taken  a  great  many  prisoners.  The  rebels  had  ordered  in 
all  prisoners  in  their  hands  to  be  exchanged.  Successes  of  Eodney. 
(The  mistake  as  to  Burgoyne  probably  made  by  Brinks.)  19 

DePeyster  to  Powell.  Skirmish  of  scouts  with  the  enemy  on  the 
Ohio,  near  Wheeling,  on  the  road  to  Sandusky  ;  a  deserter  reports 
them  1  000  strong,  going  against  the  villages  of  Sandusky ;  the 
chiefs  have  sent  for  assistance,  which  he  is  sending;  but  only  a  small 
number.  He  trusts  there  are  enough  to  encourage  the  Indians. 
Sending  down  prisoners,  five  of  these  being  men  delivered  up  by 
the  Bdlawares.  The  destruction  of  works  caused  by  heavy  rain.    43 

Same  to  the  same.  Arrival  of  despatches.  The  "  Faith  "  ready 
to  sail  for  Sandusky  with  the  rangers.  Report  of  proposed  attack 
on  Sandut^ky  confirmed.  Should  it  not  take  place,  and  that  Clark 
should  intend  to  visit  the  Wabat'h,  Caldwell  would  cross  over  to 
assist  the  Miamis.  Hopes  that  this  is  a  sufficient  answer  for  not 
sending  back  the  remainder  of  the  late  Capt.  Thompson's  Company. 
The  state  of  provision.  44

Powell  to  Haldimand.  Affairs  settled  with  the  Indians  ;  will  not 
now  bring  up  matters  in  diHpute.  The  exaggerated  statement  of 
the  number  of  the  Six  Nations  that  can  be  raised.  The  utmost  is 
600  warriors,  who  are  now  employed.  Gives  reasons  in  detail  for 
not  allowing  Joseph  (Brant)  to  go  to  Oswego.  Has  stated  in  his 
letter  of  the  13th  the  number  of  Indians  who  went  to  Oswego; 
these,  with  those  who  went  unsolicited  to  Fort  Pitt,  afford  proof 
that  the  Indians  are  still  staunch,  lias,  at  the  request  of  the  In- 
dians, christened  their  village  the  "Loyal  Confederate  Valley." 
Arrival  of  Indians  at  Oswego;  complaints  that  they  were  not  pro- 
vided with  powder,  ball  and  moccaHins;  Butlor  says  they  were  well 
provided  with  everything.  Brant  is  reported  as  boing  a  great 
expense  to  Government.  94 

Same  to  the  same.  Brown,  the  Frenchman  (pp.  30,  35),  willing

Detroit  in  a  week  or  ten  dtiyg.  Impossible  to  report  on  the  pro- 
gress of  agriculture  ;  the  farmers  raised  scarcely  enough  for  their

Capt.  Johnston  to  Butler.  Sending  a  rebel  deserter  from  Fort 
Pitt;  300  men  there;  its  ruinous  state.  British  expected  at 
LeBoeaf  to  attack  Fort  Pitt.  The  frequent  desertions  owing  to  bad 
treatment.  Confirms  the  report  of  rebel  defeat  by  Caldwell  at 
Sandusky  ;  they  are  much  disheartened,  and  have  no  troops  on  the 
frontier,  except  at  Fort  Pitt.  gl 

Powell  to  Haldimand.  Is  shocked  at  the  barbarous  treatment  of 
Crawford  by  the  Delawares  (p.  87).  It  must  have  been  in 
retaliation  lor  the  mass-icre  of  the  Moravians,  with  whom  the  Delar 
wares  are  closely  connected.  In  consequence  of  the  intentions  of 
the  enemy,  will  send  a  company  of  rangers  to  Sandusky,  and  if 
Caldwell  does  not  require  them,  will  instruct  him  to  send'  them  to 
Detroit,  where  they  are  requ'-ed  for  repairs  to  the  works.  Will 
recall  100  men  from  Oswego,  so  that  he  can  send  another  company 
of  rangers  to  Detroit,  if  necessary.  Intends  himself  setting  off 
lor  Detroit  in  about  ten  days,  and  proposes  waiting  there  to  see 
the  event  of  Clark's  expedition.  io3 

Butler  to  Powell.  Has  examined  Eobert  Smith's  account,  which 
is  not  satisfactory.  Tice,  on  the  expedition  with  Caldwell  and 
Brant,  can  give  information  respecting  it.  Barbary  Davis  and 
Forder,  two  prii^oners,  wore  sent  to  Canada  on  the  llth  May;  the 
other  prisoners  shall  be  released  as  soon  as  possible.  105

all  the  lake  Indians  had  joined  him  and  were  ready  to  proceed  to 
Wheeling.  No  enemy  mentioned  as  coming  from  Fort  Pitt.  Scouts 
returned  from  the  Wabash  without  intelligence.  The  rangers  would 
be  too  late  to  join  Caldwell;  DePeyster  would,  no  donbt,  ft^iplo"

McKee  to  DoPeystor.  Had  joined  Caldwell  at  Sandusky  and 
started  with  the  Indians  for  Wheeling,  but  recalled  by  the  Shawan- 
esowhen  near  Kocshocking,  reporting  that  the  enemy  were  prepar- 
ing to  march  to  the  Shawanese  towns  ;  the  lake  Indians  were  with 
difficulty  persuaded  to  turn.  The  enemy  reported  to  boon  their  march 
bolow  Big  Bono  Lick ;  a  party  loft  to  watch  them.  Another  body 
of  the  enemy  discovered  on  the  Big  Miamis  River.  Meenagos  sent 
by  the  chiefs  of  the  lower  villages  totho  other  villages  for  assistance. 
Caldwell  and  the  lake  Indians  expected,  and  a  meeting  to  assemble 
to  determine  tho  m^.vemonts  to  be  made.  Another  rumour  reports 
that  the  enemy  wore  near  tho  mouth  of  tho  Miamis  River,  with  two 
largo  boats  and  cannon,  and  a  number  of  Indians.  It  is  tho  most 
formidable  army  that  has  come  into  thoir  country,  and  seems  in- 
tended for  more  than  attacking  thoir  villages.  The  lowness  of  the 
Miami  will  retard  their  progress  and  give  time  to  collect.  23rd 
Caldwell  arrived  with  Lake  Indians;  all  tho  force  collected  will  be 
kept  between  tho  enemy  and  Detroit,  which  must  be  their  object. 
Reported  that  the  French  of  the  Illinois  and  Post  Vincent  have 
joined  the  enemy.  113^ 

DePoyster  to  McKeo.  The  practice  of  tho  Shawanese  putting  all 
their  prisoners  to  death  must  bo  stopped.  If  not,  the  troops  must 
bo  withdrawn.  Tho  Lake  Indians  complain  of  the  troatmont  of  the 
throe  prisoners  taken  near  tho  Falls  (p.87).  Is  confident  that  he(Mo- 
Koe)  will  iiifctil  humane  principles  into  the  Indians.  False  reports 
spread  of  the  slaughter  of  the  wives  and  children  of  the  Ottawas.  117 

Powell  to  Haldimand.  .The  disagreeable  consequence  of  the 
appointment  of  Jehu  Hay  to  bo  Lieut.  Governor  of  Detroit,  as  Major 
DePeyster  can  scarcely  serve  under  an  officer  so  inferior  to  him  in 
rank.  220 

Same  to  the  same.  Had  detained  a  letter  (enclosed)  hoping  for 
more  particular  accounts  of  the  strength  and  movemonts  of  the 
enemy  ;  there  is  reason  to  suppose  that  they  have  either  gone  back 
or  are  at  such  a  distance  that  it  must  bo  at  least  a  month  before 
they  can  reach  Detroit  in  force.  Everything  quiet;  would  leave 
in  a  few  days.  Tho  ruinoui  slate  of  the  defences  from  tho  heavy 
rains;  but  by  indefatigable  eeal  they  will  bo  defensible  before  the 
enemy  can  appear.  Caldwell  is  supposed  to  have  2,000  Indians  with 
him,  which  with  two  armed  vessels  at  the  mouth  of  the  Miami  must 
retard  or  defeat  the  enemy.  Everything  reported  to  be  quiet  on 
the  Wabash.  121

board  of  officers,  and  cannot  h  !p  feeling  injured  by  Col.  Johnson's 
conooulment  of  the  matter.  149 

MoKee  to  DoPoybter.  The  reports  of  the  enemy's  movements  so 
cin  TiHtantiHlly  given  prove  to  bo  falNO.  Tli"  large  body  of  Indians 
collooted  had  disperHcd  in  dingUHt.  R  (port  in  detail  of  the  attempt 
to  got  certain  intelligence.  Arrival  at  Bryant's  Station,  and  unsuo- 
cessfiil  attempt  to  draw  out  the  garrihon.  Arrival  at  the  Blue 
Licks,  whore  the  enemy  attacked,  but  wore  totally  defeated.  There 
were  about  LOO  picked  men  from  Kentucky,  commanded  by 
Colonels  Todd,  Trigg,  Boone  and  Todd  with  Mnjors  Harlia 
and  McGeary,  most  of  whom  fell  in  action  ;  140  killed  and  taken 
with  nearly  100  rifles,  others  of  the  rifles  being  thrown  into  a  deep 
river.  Prisoners  reported  a  Colonel  Logan  expected  with  100  men, 
but  after  waiting  for  him,  they  croesed  the  Ohio,  ho  and  Caldwell 
arriving  here  lust  night  to  send  back  helj)  to  bring  in  the  wounded. 
Ten  Indians  killed,  with  LaBute,  of  the  Indian  Department,  killed 
by  an  enemy  whose  life  he  was  trying  to  save.  Mo  prisoners 
arrived.  Prisoners  ngree  that  there  is  no  talk  of  an  expedition. 
The  militia  of  the  country  have  been  employed  building  a  fort  at 
the  falls.  A  row-galley  carrying  one  Gpomider,  six  4pounders  and 
two  <i-pounderp,  which  had  gone  to  the  mouth  of  the  Big  Miamis, 
had  caused  the  alarm.  Reports  from  Fort  Pitt  of  another  expedi- 
tion to  the  Indian  country.  ScontH  sent  to  ascertain.  The  report 
of  the  cruelties  by  the  Indians  (p  87)  correct.  It  was  done  in  his 
absence,  to  avenge  the  massacre  of  the  Indian  women  and  children, 
some  of  the  prisoners  being  i  ooognized  as  the  perpetrators.  The  re- 
present'itions  made  to  the  li  Hans  of  his  and  every  other  white  man's 
bhorronce  of  their  conduc  Thinks,  however,  that  the  informant, 
'leans,  had  exaggerated,  as   iie   is  notoriously  disaffjcteJ,  and  has

back  and  been  laid  up.  The  slovenly  and  irregular  manner  in  which 
the  Indian  presents  have  been  sent  up  from  Canada.  A  survey  has 
been  made  on  the  goods,  showing  the  assortment  unequal  to  the 
purpose,  with  a  large  quantity  of  unnecessary  articles.  The 
beneca  with  three  companies  of  the  34th  and  600  sets  of  beddinir 
compelled  to  return  to  Carleton  Island.  Will  send  a  separate  &t

the  deficiencies  in  the  Indian  supplies  ;  the  articles  borrowed  to  be

Haldimand  to  Sir  Guy  Carletor.  The  information  from  Maclean 
of  barbarities  committed  on  the  Indians  at  a  Shawaneso  settlement 
(Standing  Stone  Village)  by  the  Virginiaus.  Has  used  every  moans 
to  restrain  the  Indians  from  retaliating.  Asks  him  (Carleton)  to 
represent  the  matter  to  Washington.  Reported  evacuation  of  Char- 
lestown.  Page  33 

Examination  of  Waterman  Baldwin,  a  prisoner  from  Wyoming. 
What  he  had  heard  of  rumours  of  peace,  and  the  movements  of  the 
Americans,  &c.  41 

DePeyster  to  Maclean.  Arrival  of  Fricker  with  letter.  Arrival 
of  McKee;  things  quiet  in  the  Shawanese  country.  Difficulty  in  get- 
ting the  Indians  to  return  to  their  village.  The  prospect  of  a  rein- 
foroemer.t  gives  great  confidence  to  the  Indians.  Willnot  know  the 
need  for  the  detachment  till  the  scouts  return,  so  that  there  is  time 
to  wait  the  arrival  of  the  "  Hope."  Fifty  Cherokeos  have  come  to 
Wakatomakee,  'Z7  of  whom  have  come  to  Detroit  with  letters  to 
McKee,  showing  that  the  rebels  had  very  formidable  intentions 
against  the  Indian  country  in  general.  Letters  from  Michillima- 
kinak ;  the  winter  had  set  in  again  alter  the  Biver  and  Lake  St. 
Clair  had  been  free  of  ice.  43 

Major  Boss  to  the  same.  Asks  for  a  reinforcement  to  hurry  on 
the  defences.  His  Excellencj; agrees  that  the  garrison  should  be  more 
composed  of  veterans;  his  opinion  of  the  troops  there.  The  situa- 
tion critical;  the  post  will  probab!y  be  the  earliest  object  of  the 
enemy  in  spring.  The  proposed  supply  of  well  chosen  Indians  will 
be  very  useful  and  remedy  desertion.  Those  at  the  post  not  active, 
and  failed  to  discover  the  enemy  though  so  near.  All  the  presents 
for  the  expected  Indians  should  be  given  at  the  post,  so  as  to  attach 
them.  Arrival  of  Oneidas,  who  had  to  be  clothed  ;  they  go  off  well 
contented.  4g 

Same  to  the  same.  Sends  His  Majesty's  speech,  the  most  humi- 
liating that  ever  came  from  the  Throne.  Reports  of  an  early  attack' 
on  Odwego,  if  peace  does  not  ensue.  The  shabby  conduct  of  Con- 
gress, in  attempting  to  secure  Oswego  before  the  definite  conclusion 
of  peace,  so  that  it  might  belong  to  the  United  States.  Willet's 
threat  to  return  in  spring  ;  his  precipitate  flight ;  300  of  his  officers 
and  men  frozen  and  dead  on  the  road.  Although  he  CRoss)  wants 
veterans,  he  has  no  reason  to  suspect  either  the  principles  or  con- 
duct of  the  troops  with  him  ;  on  the  contrary,  they  showed  the 
greatest  spirit  when  expecting  attack.  "  Poor  fallows.  I  have  a 
paper  now  in  my  possesj^ion  which  particularise  the  names  of  fifty 
men  of  the  garrison  whose  little  property  is  now  under  confisca- 
tion."  49 

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Will  attend  to  instructions  in  lato  letter. 
Sending  a  coffer  with  papers  for  Maurer  from  Michillimakinak. 
Sending  the  depositions  of  two  prisoners  taken  near  Wyoming 
(p.  41).  Commissary  Bliss  to  leave  in  May  on  account  of  bad  health. 
The  one  sent  in  his  place  not  to  bo  too  great  a  gentleman,  as  the  pay 
will  not  keep  up  one  of  that  sort.  51 

Saoie  to  the  same.  Work  on  the  mills  shall  be  forwarded  with  all 
expedition;  Declines  to  consult  with  Butler  or  others  respecting 
the  best  methods  of  building.  Finds  it  a  maxim  "  that  has  been 
long  adopted  in  this  part  of  the  world,  that  whatever  cim  bo  got 
from  Government  is  well  got  where  no  censure  can  ensue."  He  will 
go  on  the  spot  and  report  in  a  tew  days.  Return  sent  of  the  farms 
about  Niagara.  ResDectincr  the  want  of  inrnic.flH  fnr  Tmlinn  rrnr.Hu    f>a

Maclean  to  Eobs.  Is  anxious  to  give  him  a  reinforcement,  but  there 
ought  to  have  been  some  definite  number  applio  i  for.  He  must 
specify  how  many  arc  required  and  how  many  can  be  accom- 
modated. Wishes  that  he  (Ross)  had  written  to  the  General 
through  e  winter  about  a  reinforcement,  as  enough  ol  troops 
migfit  h'  ,  e  been  sent  to  Niagara  for  that  purpose.  The  General 
does  no  1  speak  of  a  reinforcement,  but  only  of  Pending  to  Niagara 
men  su  spocted  of  being  ready  to  aessrt,  to  be  replaced  by  regulars 
from  thence.  Quo'es  from  his  (Ross')  own  letters  to  show  how 
impoB,  ble  it  was  to  comply  wilh  his  wishes  as  to  the  84th.  As  to 
losing  -roperty  on  the  Mohawk  Eiver,  not  one  of  the  t-^th  ever  had 
an  acr,  there  to  lose.  The  destruction  it  would  be  to  a  regiment  to 
have  If  parcelled  out  in  small  numbers.  If  ho  su-pects  the  84th  he 
should  end  the  whole,  officers  and  men,  to  Niagara  to  be  replaced 
by  ref;i  'ars.  In  a  RS.  is  glad  to  find  that  he  (Ross)  has  changed 
his  mil  1  about  his  garrison.  Page  56

Island  does  not  know  what  to  do  with  the  largo  quantity  of 
provisions  next  spring.  Has  ordered  him  to  complete  Detroit  and 
Michillimakinak  for  twelve  months  from  next  June.  Desires 
instructions  if  the  order  is  not  approved  of.  P.S.— Reduction  in  the 
Indian  Department  ordered  by  Sir  John  Johnson.  Is  sorry  for 
Wilkinson's  removal,  who  is  an  honest  man.  Suggests  his  appoint-

1783.  Bxcelloncy's  instructions.  Is  sorry  that  four  Dolawares  have 
returned  with  tho  scalps  of  a  man  and  boy  and  with  a  prisoner,  a 
young  lad  of  seventeen.  They  had  boon  as  far  south  as  Fort  Pitt 
and  at  Hannah's  town,  about  40  miles  east  of  it.  The  four  Indians 
reprimanded.  At  the  Council  of  the  Six  Nations,  the  Indiana 
warned  that  unless  they  refrained  from  such  proceedings,  they  could 
expect  no  protection.  Cruel  murder  committed  on  a  Delaware, 
supposed  to  bo  by  a  man  named  Jonathan  Pray.  If  tound  guilty, 
he  trusts  Pray  will  be  sent  up,  to  convince  the  Indians  that  they 
will  get  redress.  Pago  76 

April  32,  Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Transmitting  correspondence  with  Ross  at 

Niagara.  Oswego  respecting  reinforcemenis.     The  want  of  easterly  winds  has 

prevented  the  arrival  of  troops  from  Carleton  Island,  but  hopes  that 
the  reinforcements  will  reach  Oswego  today  or  to-morrow,  is  sur- 
prised that  no  vessel  has  yet  arrived  from  Detroit,  as  the  winds  have 
been  fair.  "It  is  a  cruel  thing  for  men  of  honour  to  have  to  do  in 
such  cases  as  the  present  with  such  worthless  and  faithless  people  as 
the  rebels,  for  while  I  was  busy  in  using  every  means  in  my  power 
to  prevent  the  Indians  from  going  to  war  they  were  prepcring  to 
cut  (he  throats  of  the  Indians.  I  was  forced  to  send  three  solemn 
embassies  to  stop  four  large  parties  last  week  only.  However,  please 
God,  we  shall  bo  prepared  f9r  the  worst."  80 

Samt  to  Ross  Has  re-^.eived  the  copy  sent  of  Carleton's  letter. 
Is  happy  that  he  (Ross)  has  sent  express  to  Major  Harris  for  ammu- 
nition. Has  no  doubt  he  has  also  asked  for  the  two  comjjanies  of 
the  34th  and  the  ten  Rangers,  which  Harris  was  ordered  to  have  in 
readiness  to  send  to  Oswego.  No  troops  can  be  sent  there  from 
Niagara  for  want  of  boats.  The  only  vessel  was  sent  off  to  Oswego 
with  Capt.  Dame  of  the  Rangers  and  20  Indians.  Surprised  she  had 
not  arrived  before  the  express  left.  Hopes  that  by  the  time  this 
reaches  there  will  be  600  men  in  gari'ison  at  Oswego,  a  more 
respectable  situation  than  Niagara  occupies,  seeing  the  number  of 
sick,  &c.,  there.  He  (Maclean)  is  in  a  delicate  position.  Ho  must 
not  only  look  after  Oswep^o,  but  also  after  DePoyster,  as  well  as  the 
Six  Nations.  The  false  reports  spread  by  the  enemy.  It  would  be 
folly  to  dismantle  Niagara  of  any  number  of  men  till  the  enemy's 
movements  are  known.  His  calculation  of  their  numbers  and 
plans.  Believes  their  real  designs  are  against  tho  Indians.  Move- 
ments of  scouts.  Danger  of  the  Indians  making  a  separate  peace 
with  the  rebels  should  they  believe  themselves  deserted.  P.S. — No 
boats  at  Albany  or  Schenectady.  82

McKeo  to  DoPeyster.  Reporting  a  rumour  that  the  enemy  were 
coming  to  invade  the  Indian  country  by  way  of  Bjaver  Creek.  The 
statement  that  Higgina  had  gone  off  to  the  enemy  is  false,  as  he  was 
at  his  place  yesterday.  107 

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Reporting  that  he  had  received  the  pro- 
clamation of  a  cessation  of  arms.  He  would  see  that  no  hostile 
act  was  committed.  The  complaint  of  Colonel  Willet  respecting  • 
Wyoming  was  without  foundation ;  that  no  men  had  been  there 
from  this  district;  six  men  on  a  scout  had  taken  two  men  in  a 
canoe  40  miles  from  Wyoming  and  brought  them  in  safe ;  that 
Willet  had  forgotten  the  conduct  of  his  savaf^es  at  Standing  Stone 
Village,  and  that  it  was  a  matter  of  surprine  that  the  Indians  could 
be  restrained  considering  the  many  reasons  they  had  for  acts  of 
retaliation,  &o,  108 

Same  to  the  same.  Pointing  out  the  distress  in  which  he  shall  be

DePeysler  to  Maclean.  Has  received  letters  from  Niagara  by 
express  in  thirteen  days.  Is  impatient  for  the  arrival  of  vessel ;  has 
ordered  off  tbo  "  Hope  "  and  "  Danmore";  will  detain  the  latter  on 
the  chance  of  hearing  from  McKeo,  as  two  days  will  either  confirm 
or  contradict  his  letter  (p.  107).  He  believes  that  the  Indians  will 
comply  with  Haldimand's  wishes,  if  the  enemy  let  them  alone, 
which  they  will  not.  Is  sending  down  some  prisoners  and 
a  band  of  Munceys.  113 

Resolution  of  Congress  to  communicate  to  the  Indians  that  pre- 
liminaries of  peace  have  been  settled  ;  that  the  British  troops  are 
to  evacuate  the  posts,  and  that  the  United  States  are  disposed  to 
enter  into  friendly  treaty  with  the  different  tribes.  115

Maclean  to  Haldimand.    The  orders  to  employ  the  King's  vessels 
on    the    lakes  in  carrying   merchandise  on  the   first  trip  shall  be 
attended  to.    The  clothing  of  the  8th  and  34th  Regiments,  and  400 
barrels  of  pork  have  arrived;  bad  condition  of  the  pork;  Bouchette 
reports  that   they  were  the   best  at  Carloton   Island   out  of  4,400 
barrels,  a  report  confirmed  by  the  arrival  of  the"Liranade"  with  7o4 
barrels,  in   a  worse  state  and  there  are   no  barrels   to  repack,  and 
resalt  the  pork.     If  the  terms  of  peace  are  as  reported  the  Indians 
will  bo  outrageous ;  Sir  John  Johnson    should  be  here  at  once;  his 
presence  was  never   more  needed.    Col.  Johnson  ought  also    to  be 
here,  as  he  has  made  promises  to  the  chiefs  known  only  to  himself 
and  them.     When  news  arrive-l  from  Carleton  at  New  York  of  the 
hostile  intentions  of   part   of    Washington's  army,  the  Indians  to 
whom  belts  were  sent  were  oerfectly  firm  in  their  attachment.    118 
Same  to  the  same.     Transmitting  an  address  from  the  farmers 
respecting  the  p'-ecarious  titles  to  their  farms.    They  do  not  wish  to 
resori;  to  colonial  law  and  cannot  repurchase  their  farms.    There  is 
a  tract  of  land  of  twelve  mile?  along  the  lake  which  the  Missisaugas 
will  part  with,  and   they  (the  farmers)   would  sooner  go  to  .Tapaa

A  similar  letter  to  DoPoystor  follows.  129 

Speech  from  Major  Wall  to  the  Shawanose.  130 

Maclean  to  Washington.  Acknowledging  receipt  of  his  letter, 
and  stating  that  a  copy  of  His  Majesty's  proclamation  had  been  sent 
him,  which  he  had  communicated  to  Major  DoPeystorat  Detroit,  to 
prevent  the  disagreeable  consequences  that  might  arise  to  the  peo- 
ple of  the  United  Stales  from  the  improper  conduct  of  General 
Clark  in  the  Indian  country.  The  complaint  of  Colonel  Willet,  that 
Wyoming  had  lately  been  cut  off  by  Indians  was  entirely  unfounded. 
No  attempt  had  been  made  against  that  or  any  other  settlement 
since  he  (Maclean)  had  the  honour  to  command  the  upper  posts. 
The  Indians  had  implicitly  obeyed  orders,  notwithstanding  great 
provocation,  and  committed  no  act  of  hostility,  except  the  killing  and 
scalping  of  two  men  by  three  young  Delawares,  who  had  been 
absent  hunting,  and  who  on  their  return  were  severely  repri- 
manded. The  extraordinary  expedition  of  Willet  against  Oswego 
caused  the  sending  out  of  small  scouts  to  watch,  one  of  which 
brought  in  two  prisoners  unhurt,  on  this  side  Wyoming,  who  were 
sent  to  Canada  to  be  restored  to  their  friends.  Assures  him  (Wash- 
ington) of  the  care  he  huS  taken  to  prevent  acts  of  hostility  and  to 
show  himHaldimand's  anxiety  on  this  point,  he  encloses  an  extract 
from  a  letter  from  Haldimand,  dated  in  February,  forbidding  acts 
of  hostility  or  retaliation.  The  Indians  meditated  no  acts  of  cruelty 
against  the  frontiers,  their  forbearance  in  view  of  the  unnecessary 
acts  of  cruelty  on  the  part  of  officers  and  men  of  Congress  has  been 
very  meritorious.  Transmits  a  newspaper  published  in  Albany, 
containing  base  and  scandalous  falsehoods  which  must  be  intended 
for  the  most  wicked  purpose  of  inflaming  the  minds  of  the  ignorant 
multitude  to  commit  acts  jf  wanton  cruelty  against  the  Indians. 
The  permitting  such  publications  would  bo  a  disgrace  to  any  nation. 
The  blessing  of  peace  being  now  restored,  he  trusts  in  God  that  all 
animoBities  shall  cease,  132 

Same  to  Matiiows.  Enclosing  valuation  of  a  horse  taken  from

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Encloning  the  correspondence  with 
Washington.  Trusts  that  his  letter  to  Washington  (p.  132)  is 
approved,  but  he  thought  it  his  duty  to  defend  the  Indians  against 
false  aspersions.  I4I 

Same  to  Mathews,  reminding  him  of  the  Albany  paper  he  had 
sent,  containing  the  most  diabolical  fal.-ohoods  against  the  Indians, 
which  His  Excellency  had  desired  to  be  kept  from  the  Indians. 
The  war  being  ended,  he  had  thought  the  best  use  to  which  ha 
could  put  the  paper  was  to  transmit  u  to  Washington.  143 

Same  to  Haldimand.  Advising  that  he  has  drawn  for  £2,702  6s. 
N.  Y.  currency,  in  favour  of  Philip  Stedman  for  services  on  the 
carrying  place  at  Niagara.  145

Maclean  to  Uiildiinand.  Acknowledges  receipt  of  variouH  letters. 
With  lospect  to  iho  IjOunduricH,  alas  !  they  were  perfectly  well 
known  on  the  23rd  April,  to  every  ranger  in  Butler's  corps.  Few 
of  the  IndiuDH  yot  know  them,  and  ho  would  endeavour  to  keen 
them  in  good  humour,  Joseph  Brunt,  though  bruve  and  faithful, 
is  the  n.oHt  IroublcHorae,  being  the  boat  instructed.  IIo  has  gone  to 
see  Sir  John  Johnson,  and  is  perfectly  satisfied  with  his  (Maclean's) 
conduct  to  the  Indians.  The  alarm  sent  by  Carleton  of  an  attack  is 
groundless.  Sergeant  Walker  reports  that  the  American  troops 
wore  being  dismissed.  Will  attend  to  forwarding  the  merchandlBe  ; 
will  investigate  Guy  Johnson's  accounts  ;  JoHOph  Brant  can  throw 
some  light  on  them.     No  vessel  yot  arrived  from  Detroit.  147 

Same  to  the  same.  Has  drawn  for  £2u8  7s,,  N.  Y.  currency,  in 
favour  of  Simon  Mactavish  for  rum  supplied,  and  explains  how  Mr. 
Mactavish  suffers  loss  by  the  transaction.  149 

The  account  follows.  151 

Same  to  the  same.  The  want  of  ram  ;  the  Indians  have  been 
supplied  a  little  more  liberally  than  usual  to  keep  them  in  good 
humour.  The  honourable  and  liberal  conduct  of  Hamilton  and 
Cartwright  in  lending  rum,  by  which  thoy  must  be  considerable 
losers,  oulj'  ^;lipulating  that  a  certain  quantity  of  dry  goods  might 
be  shipped  lor  them  at  Carleton  Island,to  which  ho  had  agreed.  The 
Indian  officers  that  have  resided  at  the  Indian  villages  for  some 
time  cannot  be  removed  for  fear  of  creating  suspicions,  but  ihey 
will  be  discontinueu  as  fast  as  circumstances  permit.  The  Indians 
behave  well,  but  he  wishes  Sir  John  Johnson  would  appear  soon.  162 

Same  to  the  samo.  Recommends  that  the  dotachraoDt  of  the  34th 
Regiment  at  Oswego  may,  at  the  request  of  Major  Hayes,  be  brought 
to  Niagara,  and  that  the  detachment  of  the  84th  at  Oswego,  be  sent 
to  Carleton  Island.  Major  Potts  reports  that  all  is  quiet  at  Detroit. 
The  Indian  presents  for  Detroit  and  Michillimakinuk  had  arrived 
the  day  before  Major  Potts  loft.     Rum  wanted  at  the  posts.         155 

Samo  to  Mathews.  Suggesting  that  it  would  bo  good  policy  to 
keep  Joseph  Brant  in  Canada  for  some  time,  and  to  got  him  to  write 
to  David  and  Aaron  that  they  are  not  to  bo  forgotten.  Joseph 
knows  too  much  and  too  little;  though  a  good  fellow,  ho  is  a  porfoct 
Indian,  and  after  picking  up  news,  true  and  false,  ho  might  do  mis- 
chief if  he  returned.  In  the  meantime  Sir  John  Johnson  should 
como  up  whilst  Joseph  is  in  Quebec.  Joso))h  said  that  England  had 
sold  the  Indians  to  Congress,  and  those  people  might  by-and-bye

Same  to  Ualdimand.  Sonds  a  report  received  from  DoPeyster, 
wliich  he  (loos  not  believe.  The  naval  stores  sent  up  last  fall  are 
partly  at  Fort  Erie  paitly  at  Fort  SchlosHor  ;  the  engineer  stores 
are  at  Schiossor,  all  perishable  articles  are  under  cover.  David  and 
Aaron  thought  of  fccttliug  at  Gotiossoo,  but  will  wait  till  Joseph 
arrives.  All  quiet,  and  bo  hopes  will  remain  so  if  rum  and  presents 
arrive.  Wishes  Sir  John  Johnson  wore  here.  Siends  copy  of  in- 
.structions  given  by  Sir  John  to  Thompson,  who  has  arrived  to  take 
charge  of  Indian  presents,  &c.,  as  he  thinks  thoso  run  counter  to  tho 
general  instructions.  It  was  from  belief  in  the  absolute  powers  of 
Sir  John  johnson,  that  tho  king's  stores  suffered  so  much  under 
Dease.  David  and  Aaron  report  to  Butler  that  thoy  had  an  invitation 
from  the  western  Indians  to  attend  a  conforenco.  Does  not  believe 
that  a.  mefisaiTG  'vas  received  and  has  forbidden  Uavid  lo  go.         159

sparingly  that  was  being  sent  from  Carleton  Ibl  nd,  after  the 
payment  of  the  rura  borrowed.  Cannot  understand  tho  onler,  as  the 
repayment  will  absorb  nearly  all  that  is  now  sent.  The  roduotion 
he  has  made  in  the  i^suo  of  rum.  The  issues  for  two  months  after  he 
arrived  at  Niagara  were  not  small,  as  Doase  was  co  slouch  ut  expcd- 
ing  rum.  j-^g 

Same  to   Haldimand.     Reports  the  state  of  the  feelings  of  the 
Indians   as   to  the  boundaries  and  of  the  reports  brought  by  the 
Oneida  Indians  of  the  bloody  threats  made  by  Schuyler  against  the 
Indians  and   whites,  ertpeciuliy  Sir  John  Johnson  and  Butler.    "  The 
Indians  from  tho  surmihes  thoy  have  hoard  of  the  boundaries,  look 
upon  our  conduct  to  them  as  treacherous  and  cruel  ;    they  told  me 
they  never  could  bolievo  that  our   King  could  pretend  to  cede  to 
America  what  was  not  his  own  to  ^'ive.  or  that  the  Americans  would 
accept  from  him  what  he   had   no  right   to  grant.     That  upon  a 
representation  from  tho  Six  Nations  in  the  year  17<i8,  the  King  bad 
appointed  Sir  William  Johnson  a  commissioner  to  settle  tho   boun- 
daries between  the  Indians  and  tho  Colonies.     That  a  line  had  been 
drawn  from  the  head  of  Canada  Cronk  (near  Fort  Stanwix)  to  the 
Ohio  ;  thai  the  boundaries  there  settled  wore  agreeable  to  the  Indians 
and  the  colonies,  and  never  had  been  doubled  or  disputed  since  ;  that 
the  Indians  were  a  free  people,  subject  to  no  power  upon  earth;  that 
they  were  the  faithful  allies  of  the  King  of  England  not  his  subjects ; 
that  he  had  no  ripht  wi.atever   to  grant  away  to  the  States  of 
America  their  rights  or  properties  without  a  manifest  breach  of  all 
justice  and  equity  and  they  would  not  submit  to   it.     They  added 
that  many  years  ago,  their  ancestors  had  granted  permission  to  the 
French  King  to  build  trading  houses,  or  small  forts,  on  the  water 
communication  between  Canada  and  the   Western  Indians,  in  the 
heart  of  their  country,  for  the  convenience  of  trade  only,  without 
granting  one  inch  of  land  but  wh.it  the  forts  stood  upon,  and  that  at 
the  end  of  the  last  war,  they  gran   )d  leave  to  Sir  William  Johnson 
to  hold  those  forts  for  their  ally  the  King  of  England,  but  that  it 
was  impossible  from   that  circumstance  only  to  imagine  that  the 
Kingof  England  should  pretend  to  grant  to  the  Americans  all  the 
whole  country  of  the  Indians  lying  between  the  lakes  and  the  fixed 
boundaries  as  settled  in  176'8,  between  the  colonies  and  the  Indians, 
or  that  any  part  of  it  could  bo  claimed  by  the  Americans  or  granted 
by  the  English  to  them."    They  did  not  wish  to  go  to  war  with,  or 
expect  friendship  from  either.     "  They  would  not  be  the  aggressors, 
but  they  would  defend  their  own  just  rights,  or  perish  in  the  attempt 
to  the  last  man  ;  they  were  but  a  handful  of  small  people,  but  they 
would  die  like  men,  which  they  thought  preferable  to   misery  and 
distress  if  deprived  of  their  hunting  grounds."     The  charge  of 
treachery  and   cruelty  is  repeated,  of  which  only  Christians  were

will,  no  doubt,  bo  sent  home  on  tho  tirst  opportunity.  192 

Same  to  DePoysttr.  Informing  him  of  Major  Wall's  proposal  for 
an  exchange  of  prisoners.     The  Indians  aro  ready  to  agree.  1^3 

DePeystor  to  Maclean.  Ho  will  send  oflFtho  rest  of  tho  goods  to

Maclean  to  Haldiraand.  Transmitting  DePoysttr's  letter  respecting 
the  exchange  of  prisoners.  The  farmers  have  been  bringing  in 
wheat,  now  in  store,  for  which  they  received  flour ;  they  will  bring  in 
twice  as  much  this  year,  which  will  be  useless  if  the  mill  is  not  fin- 
iphod.  The  saw  mill  would,  in  six  months,  pay  the  expense  of 
building  it.  ]g9 

Same  to  General  Lincoln  (U.S.)  That  his  letter  has  been  received 
and  that  the  mission  with  which  Mr.  Bull  was  charged  had  been 
f^fficially  executed  some  time  ago  by  or  ler  of  General  Ha'.dimand. 
Points  out  that  Mr.  Bull  could  not  be  allowed  to  visit  the  Indians, 
and  that  when  his  (Lincoln's)  letter  was  delivered,  Mr.  Bull's  mission 
waH  at  an  end.  201 

Same  to  Haldimand.  Sends  the  correspondence  with  General 
Lincoln.  The  Mr.  Bull,  who  brought  the  letter,  is  a  poor  old  Moravian; 
hi-^  son  and  daughter  had  been  put  to  death  in  the  massacre  of 
the  Moravians  at  Fort  Pitt,  by  Col.  Davidson ;  the  remnant  are 
settled  about  twenty  miles  Irom  Detroit,  where  Bull  and  his  com- 
panions wish  to  join  them,  and  never  placo  themselves  near  Con- 
gress, as  they  would  rather  retire  beyond  Hudson's  Bay.  Sends 
Albany  papers  ;  a  few  more  resolutions  like  those  at  Saratoga 
(p.  183)  would  soon  set  war*  going  again,  Schuyler,  there" is  little 
doubt,  is  the  principal  person  concerned  in  these  inflammatory  pub- 
lications, as  he  is  a  large  purchaser  of  the  confiscated  estates  of  loy- 
alists. 203 

Bphraim  Douglas  to  M.  Elliot.  Announcing  in  friendly  terms 
that  he  is  charged  with  a  mission  from  the  United  States  Con- 
gress to  the  Indians,  and  asking  him  (Elliot)  to  be  present  at  the 
meeting.  205 

DePeyster  to  Maclean.  Is  disappointed  at  not  receiving  goods 
for  the  Indiana,  as  much  clothing  is  due  them.  Is  almost  harassed 
out  of  all  patience,  bat  has  hitherto  kept  from  communicating  the 
articles  relative  to  the  boundaries,  although  the  Indians  nearly  all 
know.  Has  thoughts  of  calling  a  council  of  chiefs  on  the  1st  of  July, 
and  as  that  will  be  attended  with  expense,  is  glad  to  know  that  Sir 
John  Johnson  is  expected.  207 

Lt.  Col.  Dundas  to  Haldimand.  Applying  for  leave  of  absence  on 
account  of  private  aff'airs.  209 

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Respecting  promotions  in  the  84th  Regi- 
ment, uiid  arrears  in  the  regimental  accounts.  How  they  are  pro- 
posed to  be  paid  up.  210 

Same  to  the  eamo.  Reporting,  in  great  detail,  the  cause  of  the 
damaged  state  of  the  pork  received  from  Oarleton  Island.  212 

Same  to  the  same.  Representing  the  mischief  that  would  bo  caused 
by  iho  report  that  Sir  J.jhn  Johnson  had  gone  to  Cataraqui  to  arrange 
for  the  settleraout  there  of  the  Mohawks.  The  want  of  rum  ;  states 
how  that  borrowei  from  Hamilton  and  Cartwright  was  settled  for; 
one  puncheon  of  rum  will  have  more  effect  on  the  Indians  than  all 
the  ability  of  Sir  John  Johnson.  216 

Same  to  the  same.  Acknowledges  receipt  of  letter  refusing  leave 
of  absence '.  and  admits  the  justice  of  the  reasons.  2 19

Has  not  yet  receive  I  orders  as  to  the  reduction  in  the  Naval  Depart- 
ment. The  report  of  the  affair  at  Standing  Stone  Village  was  given 
in  the  express  words  ot  McKee's  letter.  Is  sorry  the  iron  work  for 
the  mill  was  not  sent  up  in  spring ;  it  will  oblige  hira  to  supply  the 
farmers  with  provisions  to  keep  thorn  from  starving  as  they  cannot 
make  use  of  their  wheat.  Page  226 

Maclean  to  DePeyHter.  Expected  arrival  of  Sir  John  Johnson  with 
clothing  for  the  Indians.  Disuuswing  the  question  of  the  proper  way 
to  deal  with  the  Indians  ;  whether  to  call  a  council  of  tho  chiefs,  or 
to  do  as  ho  (Maclean)  had  done,  to  send  officers  among  them  to 
advise  them  as  to  the  coarse  they  should  follow.  228 

DePeyster  to  Haldimand.  Has  sent  Lt.  Wllmot  to  conduct  to 
Quebec  the  discharged  men  of  the  8th  or  King's  Regiment,  and 
recommends  that  he  be  appointed  to  conduct  them  to  England.  231 
Maclean  to  the  same.  Jt  is  scarcely  possible  to  know  how  to 
behave  with  tho  designing,  hypocritical  Americans.  They  have 
euiissaries  constantly  among  the  Indians.  The  danger  of  dealing 
with  them.  If  there  are  any  white  men  among  those  sent  last,  Col. 
Butler  and  he  are  of  opinion  that  the  consent  of  tho  chiefs  should  be 
obtained  to  bring  them  here,  to  be  sent  to  Carleton  Island  till  His 
Excellency  can  be  heard  from  and  to  send  the  Indians  back,  escort- 
ing them  to  a  distance  from  the  frontier.  The  Americans  may  pre- 
tend they  cannot  prevent  their  Indians  coming  to  see  the  Indians 
in  Canada,  but  this  is  all  a  farce ;  if  there  may  not  be  some  sinister 
design,  they  would  act  openly.  232 

DePeyster  to  Maclean.  "  The  enclosed  is  this  instant  come  to  hand., 
I  have  despatched  Mr.  Elliot  to  fetch  in  this  favourite  of  Congress 
least  he  do  mischief  among  the  Indians."  235 

Report  of  a  council  held  with  the  chiefs  and  warriors  of  the  Six 
Nation  Indians  and  their  confederates,  at  the  council  fire  kindled  at 
the  Onondaga  settlement,  Colonel  Butler  presiding.  236 

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  Recommending  the  oldest  lieutenant  in 
the  84th  for  promotion.  241 

DePeyster  to  Maclean,  reporting  his  conference  with  Douglas  and 
McCully,  sent  by  the  United  States  Congress  to  treat  with  the 
Indians.  He  has  recommended  them  to  go  to  Niagara,  to  which 
they  have  agreed.  243 

Same  to  the  same.    Is  happy  that  Douglas  and  McOully  have  em- 
barked ;  suggests  that  they  had  better  return  home  by  Lake  Cham- 
plain.     They  would  not   wish  to  bo  martyrs,  and  it   would   bo  an 
eternal  slur  upon  him  (DePeyster)  should  any  drunken  Indian  or 
any  one  whoso  suffering  had  been  too  great  to  listen  to   reason,  do 
them  an  ill  turn.    Besides,  they  will  be  provontod  from  dealing  with 
the  Indians,  whoso  chiefs  thoy  were  unable  to  see  when  they  wore  at 
Detroit,  which  is  by  no  moans  a  place  for  American  deputies  to  re- 
side in.  246 
Maclean  to  EalJimand,    Explaining  the  state  of  the  accounts  of 
the  senior  captain-lieutenant  ol  the  b4th  Regiment.                       248 
Same  to  DePey^iler.     Speaking  in  strong  terras  of  tho  conduct  of 
the  Americans  in  attempting  to  deal  with  tho  Canadian   Indians 
without  reference  to  the  authorities.  251 
Same  to  Haldimand.    Enclosing  papers  and  correspondence  with 
DePeyster,  relative  to  the  mission  of  Douglas  and  MoCuUy.         254

(p.  236).  Tho  spooch  attributed  to  Schuyler,  he  (Maclean)  believes 
to  be  a  fabrication,  as,  although  he  has  no  great  opinion  of  Schuyler, 
he  cannot  believe  he  would  use  such  expressions.  Arrival  of  Brant 
and  John,  greatly  pleased  with  their  reception  at  Quebec.  They 
went  off  with  Capt.  Powell,  and  returned  pleased  with  their  recep- 
tion by  tho  chiefs.  He  (Maclean)  was  angry  with  Butler  for  recom- 
mending  tho  Indians  to  send  two  men  of  consequence  to  meet  the 
vagabond  Oneidas.  Brant  has  succeeded  in  having  runners  sent 
after  the  two  who  had  gone,  with  orders  to  bring  them  back.

And  from  Douglas  to  Maclean,  of  the  same  date.  211 

DePeyster  to  Maclean.  Hopes  that  the  missionaries  from  General 
Lincoln  have  been  sent  round  by  Oswego  or  Lake  Churaplain ;  it 
would  be  dangerous  for  them  to  travel  from  Detroit  to  Fort  Pitt. 
Reports  have  been  reaeived  of  the  Kentucky  people  having  attacked 
and  carried  off  horses  belonging  to  Indians  hunting  on  their  own 
ground  on  this  side  of  the  Ohio,  and  that  the  Indians  had  pursued 
them,  had  killed  throe  men  and  had  one  of  their  own  mortally 
wounded  Has  investigated  and  found  the  Kentuckians  were  the 
sole  aggressors,  the  Indians  being  peaceably  disposed.  To-morrow 
he  is  to  bo  cursed  with  a  visit  from  70  Cherokeea  and  other  southern 
Indians,  200  in  all,  bringing  letters  from  St.  Augustine.  It  is  said 
that  when  they  left  war  was  reigning  in  that  quarter  more  than 
ever,  so  that  he  supposes  they  must  have  been  several  months  on  the 
road.  Does  not  know  what  to  do  with  these  gentry ;  they  will  look 
very  black  at  his  empty  hands  after  coming  such  a  distance.  The 
two  Moravians  will  remain  quietly  at  their  own  plantation  near 
Detroit.  213 

Maclean  to  Haldimand.  There  will  be  1,100  barrels  of  flour 
wanted  if  the  same  number  as  before  of  troops  and  Indians  are  to  be 
victualled  till  24th  May,  1184.  There  is  more  than  sufficient  of 
pork  and  every  other  provision  ;  flour  will  be  wanted  for  129  days 
at  Detroit ;  where  there  is  sufficient  of  the  other  stores  except  of  but- 
ter, of  which  plenty  can  be  spared  from  Niagara  There  is  plenty  of 
flour  at  Carleton  Island  to  supply  both  posts.  No  provigion  returns 
have  been  received  from  Michiilimakinak  for  three  months.  Again 
calls  attention  to  the  necessity  of  finishing  the  mill  to  grind  wheat 
for  the  farmers.  Some  of  Butler's  men  want  their  discharge  which 
has  been  refused  till  he  (Maclean)  hears  from  His  Excellency.  Some 
deserters  from  the  rangers  and  Johnson's  Corps  have  been  sent 
back  from  New  York,  but  a  deserter  of  the  34th  is  left  at  liberty. 
This  distinction  is  evidently  intended  to  prevent  these  men  from 
claiming  their  properly  and  to  prevent  other  loyalists  following 
their  example.  216 

Same  to  the  same.  Enclosing  list  handed  him  by  Douglas  of  pri- 
soners taken  by  the  western  Indians,  some  of  them  as  late  as  M^y,

him  and  Butler  about  the  issues  of  rum  ;  thinks  that  the  practice 
may  be  broken  of  supplying  it,  if  a  bad  example  is  not  now  intro- 
duced. The  deputies  of  the  Hurons  and  Delawares  from  the  west-

perfectly  well  pleased.  The  admirable  behaviour  of  the  Indians. 
They  look  on  Haldimacd  as  their  best  friend,  and  he  (Maclean) 
thinks  there  will  bo  no  difficulty  in  managing  them.  Encloses  letter 
from  DePeyster,  who  thinks  that  the  Virginians  on  the  frontiers 
will  bring  on  an  Indian  war  if  they  can.  He,  Johnson  and  Butler 
think  it  would  be  proper  to  give  the  earliest  possible  intelligence  of 
the  true  state  of  affairs  to  the  commanding  officer  of  the  United 
States  for  the  northern  distiict,'  to  prevent  the  bad  eflfects  of  misre- 
presentation of  the  Kentucky  people  to  Congress.  Sir  John  Johnson, 
has  already  clearly  written  on  the  subject  to  Schuyler.  He 
(Maclean)  had  also  written  to  Willet  on  the  subject,  to  prevent 
an  attack  on  the  Indians.  Robertson  complains  of  the  want  of  rum. 
Some  of  the  principal  chiefs  of  the  Six  Nations  wish  to  go  to  San- 
dusky to  meet  the  western  Indians,  so  as  to  form  one  Confederacy. 
There  are  35  nations,  of  whom  the  Six  Nations  would  bo  at  the 
head.  Sir  John  Johnson  will  explain  the  proposal  to  His  Ex- 
cellency. "  293

that  Ross  did  not  stop  them  at  Carleton  Island.  The  liquors  brought 
have  been  put  in  a  place  of  security.  He  had  entered  into  explanations 
with  the  traders  as  to  the  impropriety  of  their  conduct,  &c.  Tho 
danger  these  traders  run  of  being  attacked  by  half  drunken  Indians, 
from  some  of  whom  Mr.  Todd,  of  Montreal,  had  a  narrow  escape. 
He  has  directed  one  of  the  traders  to  write  to  his  friends  to  stop  all

He  has  more  plague  with  rum  than  with  all  other  business.  The 
seamen  must  have  it,  for  it  is  a  part  of  their  wages,  and  they  will 
desert  or  mutiny  if  they  do  not  get  it.  '^324

ening messages.  It  depends  on  Butler  to  keep  the  Indians  quiet,

dence to  come  here  without  dread.  The  Six  Nation  Indians  who 
went  to  Sandusky  have  returned  well  pleased,  having  made  a  league, 
oflfensive  and  defensive,  with  the  southern  and  western  nations  and 
agreed,  unless  attacked,  to  live  at  peace  with  tho  Americans. 
The  Six  Nation  deputies  have  brought  back  thirty- six  of  the  western 
and  southern  Indians,  to  have  a  general  council  for  confirming  all 
that  has  been  done.  Mrs.  Hanson,  one  of  the  ladies  from  Schenec- 
tady, wishes  to  return,  but  will  not  be  permitted,  as  such  promiscu- 
ous intercourse  cannot  be  allowed.  370

val of  American  traders  at  the  Indian  village  of  Ginoussi  (sic)  brought 
by  invitation  of  Ebenezer  Allen,  now  a  prisoner.  Brant  and  other

with  some  respectable  people  to  investigate  the  charges.  The  lies 
told  about  them  given  in  detail.  The  Governor's  conduct  is  owing 
to  the  necessity  of  humouring  the  people,  the  election  being  nigh. 
Attack  on  them  by  the  paper  published  by  Adams  and  Nourse. 
(Lieut.  John  Brotk  was  the  eldest  brother  of  Isaac  Brook.)  35

B'-ehm's  mission  respecting  the  upper  posts.  The  saving  to  be 
effected  in  provisions,  &c.  Till,  he  (Bolton)  receives  reinforoementa, 
nothing  can  be  done  with  respect  to  the  rebels  hovering  on  the  coasta 
between  Lake  Erie  and  Detroit,  except  to  harass  them  with  small 
and  multiplied  parties  of  rangers  and  Indians.  Scouts  should  also 
be  on  the  Mohawk  for  observation,  to  see  if  the  enemy  are  moving 
on  Oswego  and  their  plans.  E/ery  exertion  must  be  used  for  tho 
preservation  of  ihe  upper  posts.  Capt.  Butler's  abilities,  &c. ;  he  ia

Hopes  that  Captain  A  ubry,  with  detachment  of  the  47th,  has  already 
joined.  Care  to  he  taken  with  the  stores  and  to  guard  against  error 
in  the  returns  of  those  in  store.  As  large  a  proportion  of  entrenching 
tools  as  possible  will  be  sent  to  Carleton  Island  with  100  seamen  and

Same  to  the  same.  Approves  of  the  precautions  taken  with  respc  j* 
to  the  Indians.  His  anxiety  to  take  possession  of  Oswego,  but  prepa- 
rations are  required,  especially  as  regards  provisions,  which  have 
not  yet  arrived  from  Europe.  The  advantage  of  using  fish  to  save 
pork.  The  supply  of  rum  ;  the  exorbitant  price  charged  at  Niagara, 
&o.  Has  sent  four  grasshoppers  and  two  royal-,  with  ammunition.

Indian  Department.  Hopes,  by  late  newspapers,  that  the  war  will  be

the  number  of  bateaux  not  sutfioient  for  an  expedition  against  the

has  so  little  help  to  conduct  Indian  affrtirfa;  his  confidence  in  him 
makes  him  easy  as  to  ihe  safety  of  the  post.  Desires  that  every 
useless  mouth  should  bo  removed  from  Miagara.  Hopes  that  some 
families  may  be  sent  to  the  oppoHiionideof  the  river  to  cultivate  the 
land.  Cannot  risk  the  removal  of  Mnjor  DePeyster  from  his  post,

The  arrangement  of  pay  for  the  rangers  approved  of.  Disapproving 
the  appointment  of  an  additional  interpreter.  No  plan  of  operation

Same  to  the  same.  Letters  from  Bird  and  McEeo  leave  little  doubt 
of  Bird's  succenh,  bat  is  still  anxious  about  him,  owing  to  the  flckle- 
neijs  of  the  Indians.  Sinclair  has  sent  parties  to  cover  Bird  and  to 
intercept  convoys  of  provisions ;  couriers  engaged  to  act  between 
Michillimakinak  and  Niagara.  Harper,  the  rebel  prisoner,  will  bo 
kept  safe.  146 

Same  to  the  e&me.  Biid's  success  rendered  incomplete  by  the 
fickleness  of  the  Indians,  who  deserve  censure  rather  than  presents. 
Everything  will  be  done  to  assist  Sinclair  at  Michillimakinak  ;  one 
or  two  small  vessels  will  be  attached  to  the  post;  the  "  Hope  "  and

lately,  they  have  had  slight  pretensions  to  protection.  Captain 
Macdonald's  successful  negotiations  with  the  Oneidas  ;  the  conduct 
of  the  Indians  with  Bird,  &c.,  leads  him  to  suspect  them  all ;  greater

the  rules  laid  down.  Ib  surprised  that  DePeyster  has  not  yet  sent 
the  detachment  to  Michillimakinak.  Troops  cannot  be  sent  from 
Quebec.  The  Indians  could  have  euppressed  the  rebel  ineurrection 
had  they  resolutely  opposed  them,  but  if  they  will  not  defend  their 
own  country,  they  must  wait  patiently  for  reinforcements,  a  word

have  been  a  dianght,  this  being  partly  a  duplicate,  but  entering 
more  minutely  into  details  of  arrangements  for  the  expedition.    163 

Same  to  the  same.  The  French  armament  arrived  at  Hhode  Island, 
is  suspected  to  be  for  an  attack  on  Quebec;  precautions  recommended. 
The  34th,  therefore,  to  be  withdrawn  from  Niagara  and  brought  by 
JohnaontoQaobocttfter  the  expedition  (159,  182).  Little  fear  of 
an  attack  on  Niagara ;  tho  rangorn  will  form  a  respectable  force; 
they  are  to  be  employed  on  all  necessary  work.  Tho  detachment 
of  Johnson's  corps  to  be  left  to  garrison  Carlelon  Island,  with  what 
regulars  can  be  spared.  jgg 

Same.  Circular  to  commanders  of  posts,  to  afford  Robortson,  sent

ance as  he  may  need.  j^tq

aiiaira.  jwi 

Same  to  tho  same.  Engineers  and  Q.  M.  G'h.  accounts  received. 
How  repairs  and  works  are  to  be  carried  on.  The  transport  of  pro- 
visions delayed  by  the  harvest  has  been  vigourousiy  rewumed.  Is 
alarmed  at  the  scarcity  of  flour  at  Niagara.  Trusts  that'Col.  Johnson 
gives  every  assistance  to  economize}.  No  useless  mau'.hs  to  remain 
lor  the  winter.  j^g 

Same  to  the  same.  That  he  has  appointed  Biigadier  Powell  to 
lake  command  of  the  lakes  and  posts  in  the  upper  country.  After 
giving  him  every  necessary  information  he  (Bolton)  is  to  not  out

Same  to  Powell.  With  letters  to  Bolton,  to  bo  read  and  sealed. 
Instructions  as  to  provisions,  &o.  The  detachment  of  the  34th  re-

inak  than  has  been  already  directed.  To  give  Powell  information 
about  these  disputes.     Despatches  to  be  forwarded  to  Detroit.       IbO 

Same  to  the  same.  Tho  delay  in  tho  transport  of  provisions  will, 
it  is  feared,  prevent  the  arrival  of  the  quantity  expected  at  the 
upper  posts.  A  minute  investigation  01  the  quantity  in  store, 
particularly  flour,  is  to  be  made  before  giving  up  the  command.  An 
exact  return  of  all  persons  drawing  provisions,  including  Indians, 
to  be  made,  to  enable  Powell  to  arrange  so  as  to  pravont  bad  conse- 
quences. It  will  depend  chiefly  on  Johnson  to  diminish  the  im- 
mense consumption  by  the  Indians ;  necessity  requires  that  to  bo 
immediately  done.  j^ji 

Same  to  Powell.  Fate  of  Bolton  and  loss  of  the  "  Ontario." 
Means  taken  to  make  the  loss  of  the  vessel  of  as  little  detriment 
as  possible.  The  "  Haldimand  "  and  "  Seneca  "  to  bo  repaired  and  a 
new  vopsel  built  at  Carleton  Island.  Only  repairs  to  bo  done  to  the

Changes  will  be  introduced  into  the  naval  service  to  remedy 
obstructions  arising  from  the  divided  rank  of  the  oflBceia.  Haa 
received  the  papers  taken  at  the  Miamis.  "  Tho  miscarriage  of  that 
enten)riee  by  the  enemy  was  most  fortunate,  as  it  put  us  on  our 
guard  against  one  of  greater  consequence,  irustrated  the  Hopes  of 
disaffected  Canadians  and  confirmed  the  wavering  Miamis  in  our 
interest."  All  intelligencec  concerning  that  quarter  to  be  sent  to 
DoPeyster.  The  want  of  accommodation  for  prisoners  at  Quebec ; 
the  difficulty  of  dealing  with  LaBalme's  secretary,  who  cannot 
be  kept  a  close  prisoner  nor  be  left  on  parole  among  the  Canadians. 
Will  have  to  send  him  to  an  outpost  in  the  spring.  Others  like

soner, who  has  been  sent  to  Carleton  Island ;  report  of  Lieut.

Same  to  the  same.  Will  order  a  general  court  martial  at  Butler's 
request.  ^  192 

Same  to  the  same  The  event  at  St.  Joseph's  is  fortunate,  and 
should  convince  traders  of  the  impropriety  of  keeping  large  quan- 
tities of  goods  in  remote  quarters.  1  he  accident  to  the  two  small 
vessels  at  Michillimakinak  has  increased  the  burden  of  transport; 
approves  of  the  collecting  of  assistance  for  building  at  Lake  Ontario^ 
No  merchandise  to  be  carried  in  the  vessels  till  all  provisions  are 
sent  to  the  posts.  Is  relieved  to  find  that  the  stock  of  provisions 
had  held  out;  tho  Indians  have  no  consideration.  They  must  be 
made  to  understand  that  they  are  to  return  to  their  labour  and 
subsist  upon  the  produce  of  the  corn  given  them  to  plant.  193 

Same  to  the  eame.  Concerning  the  appointment  of  Gaptaia 
Maokinson  to  the  rangers,  and  Butler's  remarks  thereon,  which  are 
uncalled  for.  Has  no  objection  to  the  addition  of  two  companies  to 
the  rangers,  if  it  can  bo  made  expeditiously  and  without  hindrance 
to  the  service.  Respecting  the  appointment  of  Thomas  Butler  and 
Allen  to  the  rangers.  195 

Same  to  the  same.  Is  pleased  to  find  the  navigation  so  early 
open,  and  naval  preparations  advanced.  Has  no  reason  to  fear  for 
Detroit ;  a  force  has  penetrated  to  Virginia  which  could  not  be 
opposed  by  the  enemy.  Detroit  must  be  attacked  by  a  regular 
siege.  There  is  no  doubt  that  every  effort  will  be  made  by  the 
enemy  to  hold  Kentucky.  The  Indians  might  have  kept  them  out, 
and  might  still  drive  them  out  if  they  are  unanimous  and  resolute, 
but  not  if  they  keep  falling  back  on  Detroit.  DePeyster  may  assist 
them  with  a  small  detachment.  Calculations  as  to  the  enemy's 
course  and  preparations  to  meet  them.  A  scout  to  Sandusky  might 
be  useful  to  separate  on  return  so  as  to  communica  j  with  Niagara 
and  Detroit.  Respecting  provisions  and  the  plan  of  cultirration 
recommended.  The  removal  of  the  posts  to  the  island  at  Michil-

llaldimand  to  l»oweli.  Has  received  the  vivrious  reports  and  intelli- 
gonoe  ;  Hoes  no  reason  to  remove  any  part  of  the  force  from  Niagara, 
the  flttfety  of  Detroit  rot  appearing  to  require  it;  bosidoa  it  is 
uncertain  what  occasion  may  arise  for  the  services  of  the  rangers 
and  tioops  now  at  Niagara.  However,  should  a  detachment  have 
been  sent  to  SandoHky  on  the  representations  of  McKoo,  not  to 
recall  It,  as  that  would  alarm  the  Indians  and  encourage  the  Virgi- 
nians  settled  on  the  frontier,  who.se  only  object  in  the  disturbances 
18  to  obtain  by  stealth  the  valuable  lands  belonging  to  the  Indians. 
Is  glad  that  the  provisions  and  merchandise  have  passed  from 
Carleton  Island  ;  hopes  soon  to  replace  the  former,  being  in  daily 
oxpeotioo  of  the  arrival  of  the  Cork  float  and  of  one  that  wintered  ut 
Halifax,  229 

Mathews  to  the  same.  Transmitting  a  petition  from  Henry 
Simmons,  a  ranger  in  Butler's  Corps;  that  and  bis  accounts  to  be

Haldimand  to  the  same.  Has  received  report  of  Butler's  success. 
Is  glad  he  has  settled  the  digpate  between  Oapt.  Dime  and  Lieut. 
Turney,  of  the  rangers;  the  latter  is  an  active,  useful  partizan,  and 
would  have  been  a  loss  to  the  corps.  232 

Same  to  the  same.  Whoever  has  or  have  been  the  cause  of  tho 
continual  discussions  at  Michillimakinak  can  have  the  service  but 
little  at  heart.  A  speedy  and  radical  cure  rami  be  applied.  Oapt. 
Aubrey  and  a  detachment  to  be  nent  there,  he  being  recommended 
to  paj'  attention  to  harmorty.  233 

Same  to  the  same.  Djase's  application  recommended  by  Col. 
Johnson  would  bo  gladly  complied  with,  but  for  reasons  stated.  2J5 

Same  to  the  same.  Reports  received.  Theactivity  of  the  Oneida 
Indians  watching  with  some  white  men  the  routes  of  the  recruiting 
parties  and  scouts  between  the  colonies  and  the  province  has 
kept  up  a  communication  for  the  rangers.  The  report  &%  to 
Ethan  Allen  is  premature,  there  is  a  commotion  in  Vermont, 
but  Allen  has  not  gone  the  length  reported,  and  his  intentions  are 
not  yet  known.  Beports  from  Sinclair  and  DoPeyster  respecting 
the  work  at  Michillimakinak;  materials  to  be  sent  that  can  bo 
spared  from  Detroit.  Sinclair  should  be  more  particular  '"n  his 
demands.  Regrets  that  Captain  Grant's  business  could  not  have 
been  transacted  at  a  season  when  he  could  have  been  better  spared. 
Blank  commissions  sent  to  the  rangers.  Is  concerned  that  so  many 
Indians  tthould  be  victualled,  being  afraid  of  the  consequences  should 
provisions  not  arrive.  No  resource  from  the  crops  in  Quebec,  they 
being  already  in  a  great  measure  destroyed.  Everything 
dictated  by  humanity  to  be  done  for  the  Indians,  but  the  greatest 
economy  must  be  oberved  at  the  post  in  the  distribution  of  pro- 
visions, ^^ly 

Same  to  the  same  (secret).  Is  sending  all  the  information  he  can 
get  by  Pcouts,  as  he  has  not  heard  a  word  from  Europe,  New  York 
or  Halifax.  A  French  fleet  reported  at  Boston,  which  gives  the 
enemy  feuperiority  by  soa.  Two  actions  reported  by  Arbuthnot  and 
Hood,  neither  very  fortunate.  Cornwallis  had  a  victory  at  Gaild- 
ford  Court  House,  but  is  said  to  be  retreating  fast.  Is  afraid  the 
report  of  the  death  of  Phillipe  is  too  authentic.     The  French  had

Ualdimand  to  tho  samo.  Tho  pleasing  contents  of  despatches 
from  DePoystor.  It  is  fortunate  Joseph  (Brant)  remained  in  the 
quarter  to  stir  up  Indians;  it  is  hoped  that  their  present  success  will 
rouse  them  more  than  hitherto.  There  is  no  doubt  that  tho  success 
of  the  enemy's  incursions  in  that  quarter  has  been  owing  to  dia- 
affection,  or  a  desire  on  the  piirt  of  tho  Indians  to  prolong  tho  war 
for  tho  sake  of  presents.  .Private  reasons  have  caused  delay  in 
sending  tho  detachment  to  Crown  Point;  it  is  probable  that  pa^-ties 
from  Niagara  will  not  arrive  much  sooner  at  their  destination.  272a

Haldimand  to  Maclean.  Agrees  as  to  the  propriety  of  keeping  a 
respectable  garrison  atCarleton  Island,  it  and  Oswego  will  be  suffi- 
ciently strong  the  rest  of  the  regiment  having  boon  ordered  up,  for 
that  purpose.  To  avoid  sending  the  rangers  lower  down  than 
Oswego,  or  separating  them  too  widely.  Oi^ors  as  to  covering  pro- 
visions at  Carleton  Island.  372 

Same  to  the  same.  Has  received  report  of  the  deliberations  of  the 
Six  Nations  in  consequence  of  the  late  attack  on  theShawanese  and 
massacre  of  Standing  Stone  Village,  Laments,  since  the  rebels  have 
taken  advantage  of  the  humane  system  of  forbearance  lately  adopted, 
that  he  cannot  afford  the  assistance  the  Indians  so  reasonably  expect* 
Exertions  to  be  made  to  prevent  retaliation  ;  thodifficulty  of  finding 
arguments  in  support  of  that  policy.  Is  satisfied  with  the  line  of 
argument  he  (Maclean)  has  used  in  his  answer  to  tlioir  speech,  buo 
as  it  is  necessary  that  he  (Haldimand)  should  reply  to  their  applica- 
tion, ho  sketches  at  some  length  the  nature  of  what  he  desires  to  say 
to  them  on  that  subject,  as  well  as  on  their  complaints  respecting 
provisions,  &e.  A  copy  to  be  sent  to  DePeyster,  he  Six  Nations 
having  sent  a  deputation  to  the  Indians  at  Detroit.  373 

Same  to  the  same.  Approves  of  the  reinstatement  of  Butler  in  the

given  on  this  subject.  384 

Haldimand  to  the  same.  The  return  of  the  34th  K.ogimont,anabloto 
reach  Detroit,  cannot  bo  of  any  bud  consequence,  but  the  failure  of 
the  Indian  presents  to  reach  may  be  distressing  to  the  service  at 
Detroit,  unless  the  traders  lend  goods  as  was  done  at  Niagara. 
K'jspoutiug  the  shipment  ot  Iiidiau  goods  j  noglocL  of  invoices,  &o.,

Indians  and  hopes  to  preaervo  their  affociion.  Holland  to  go  to 
Cataraqui  to  exaraino  the  north  sido  of  Lake  Ontario,  to  settle  those 
of  tho  Six  Nations  who  may  prefer  that  situation,  to  tho  risk  of 
being  subjected  to  tho  power  of  the  States.  Has  talked  the  matter 
over  with  Joseph  Brant.  Sir  John  Johnson  ordered  to  Niagara  to

Thoirstru-tions  to  Collins,  tho  surveyor,  for  the  laying  out  of  the 
settlpmcnt  at  Cataraqui,  to  bo  followed  in  all  other  parts  of  the 
Province  where  loyalists  shair  bo  settled.  Cannot  understand 
Bitler's  having  marked  out  30  lots  for  different  persons,  unless  tho 
few  farms  already  occupied  are  meant.  Ho  had  made  applications 
on  behalf  of  his  corps  for  settlement  on  that  side  of  tho  river,  but 
the  business  cannot  bo  anticipated,  although  there  is  every  inclina- 
tion to  servo  Colonel  Butler's  corps.  Ross  disiresged  for  want  of  a 
person  who  understands  the  construction  of  mills,  and  wishes  for  a 
visit  from  Bras-<,  of  Butler's  Rangers.  It  is  probable  that  ho  will 
find  many  amongst  tho  loyalists  accustomed  to  that  business  :  if  not, 
Brass  may  lo  tent  if  ho  can  bo  spared.  430 

Miitliows  to  tho  t-amo.  Oa  account  of  the  favourable  report  of

Bird's  request  cannot  be  complied  with.  \Vc  uld  bo  pleased  to  know 
what  is  to  bo  his  rank;  he  had  flaLtcrcd  himself  that  he  was  to  bo

by  theSenecas  that  most  of  the  Onondagas,  Tu-caroras  and  Oneidas

Biigudior  Clinton  (U  .S.)  to  Cupt.  Butlor  (Walter).  Stating  that 
a  letter  relating  to  an  exchange  of  prisoners  had  been  trunHnutted 
to  Governor  Clinton,  who  had  consoulod  to  the  proposal.  Slates 
the  arrangement  for  the  fxchangos.  JJcfluctionH  on  the  want  of 
zeal  fhown  by  the  British  officorB  in  restraining  the  oxoosses  of  the 
Indians,  and  on  cruellies  committed  when  no  Indians  wore  pre- 
sent, gij 

Eeturn  of  Indians  at  Niagara,  from  30th  December,  Vt18,  to  date, 
with  the  arrivals  ard  departures  of  the  sevorul  parties  of  different 
nations  in  that  time.  T'  o  names  and  numbers  of  the  difforent

Keiurn  by  Butlor  of  hcouts  employed.  91 

Butlor  to  Haldimand.  Eeporting  that  the  Indians  think  a  poflt 
at  Irondequot  would  bo  of  no  material  sorvicn  in  protecting  their 
country,  and  would  wish  to  have  the  post  at  Oswego,  The  Indians 
in  general,  but  not  the  Onoidus,  have  resolved  to  come  to  no  terms 
wiih  the  rebels,  who  have  sent  to  build  a  small  fort  to  protect  the 
Oneicia  villages.  A  poi«t  at  O.swego  would  shako  the  resolution  of 
the  Onoidfls  and  strengthen  tho  ethers,  who  arc  afraid  of  an  attack 
durini,r  the  winlor.  The  Scouts,  who  are  out  in  every  quarter,  will 
give  the  earlic  st  notice  of  movements  on  the  frontier,  and  a  large 
party  of  rangers  is  ready  to  move.  Suggests  that  messages  to  the 
Indians  should  not  bo  sent  direct  from  Quebec,  but  sent  through  Col. 
Bohon.  A  number  of  Mohawks,  Onondaijos  and  Oshquagos  are 
to  remain  at  Niagara,  having  now  no  homes  to  go  to.  92 

Walter  Butlor  to  Brigadier  Clinton.  Eespecting  tho  exchange 
of  prisoners.  Hois  to  proceed  to  Quebec  to  have  Haldimand's 
determination  on  the  snbject.  He  denies  tho  cruelty  charged  in 
his  (Clinton's)  letters  (pp.  £8,  89),  not  u  man,  woman  or  child  was 
killed  at  Cheiry  Valley,  except  those  who  were  killed  in  arms  in

village  and  tho  violations  of  parole  by  tho  continental 
officers,  &c.  95 

Waller  Butler.  Journal  of  an  expedition  from  Niagara  on  the 
north  shore  of  Lake  Ontario  to  Cataraqui,  with  descriptions  of  the

Butler  to  Haldimand.  Sending  details  of  the  intrigues  of  the 
rebels  with  the  Indians  and  their  efforts  to  intimidate  them  ;  what 
he  is  doing  to  counteract  those  designs.  One  party  sent  by  way 
of  Lake  Erie  to  bring  in  a  prisoner.  Another  to  Fort  Stanwix. 
Delawarcs  havo  had  u  skirmish  with  the  enemy  at  Wyoming.  They 
have  ttiken  three  pritJoners  and  sjven  scalps.  Captain  Butlor  carries 
with  hira  tho  muster  rolls  and  pay  lists  of  tho  rangers,  and  will  give 
every  information  relative  thereto.  He  (Col.  Butler)  has  drawn  for

Eemaiks  on  the  pay  lists  of  the  Indian  Department.  113 

The  same  i;o  tho  same.  Letter  enclosed  shows  that  Hay  of 
Detroit  had  not  a  favourable  opinion  of  the  Indians.  Tho  disaster 
to  Hamilton  will  not  improve  them.  Does  not  yet  know  how  it 
will  aflfect  the  Six  Nations,  it  may  incline  them  to  listen  to  the 
artful  messages  sent  by  Congress.  Sends  copy  ot  a  message

Haldimand  to  Butler.  The  anxiety  the  defeat  of  Hamilton  causes 
him  ;  has  reason  to  bo  satisfied  with  the  fidelity  of  the  Five  Nations. 
The  confidence  ho  has  in  his  (Butlor's)  exertions  to  maintain  all  the 
Indians  in  tho  humour  of  acting  for  tho  service  of  tho  Crown.  The 
impossibility  of  getting  provi.sions  to  O.swogo  is  tho  reason  for  its 
not  being  occupied;  every  exertion  will  be  made  to  have  this 
done.  193 

Tho  same  to  the  same.    Has  granted  a  temporary  warrant  for  the 
subsistence  of  the  corps.     When  tho  accounts  are  finally  settled 
every  allowance  will  bo  made  so  far  as  consistent  with  Cai-ioton's

frontiers;  the  b'ive  Nations  were  afraid  of  an  invasion  of  their 
country  from  Fort  Stanwix  and  the  Susquehanna.  Ho  is  now  at 
Canadasaga,  among  tho  Sonccas,  watching  tho  enemy's  motions 
Bolton  has  desired  him  (Walter  Butler)  to  set  off  for  Detroit,  with  a 
party  of  rangors  and  as  many  Indians  as  he  could  collect,  to  try  to 
rouse  tho  western  Indians  to  tako  an  active  part ;  could  this  be 
effected,  thoro  would  not  bo  a  rebel  in  arms  in  the  Indian  country 
in  tho  course  of  a  low  months.  The  service  Brant  could  render  were 
he  to  bo  allowed  to  go.  Calls  attention  to  advances  ho  has  made  to 
Captain  Tice,  whoso  pay  has  not  been  drawn  for ;  asks  that  the

warriors  who  had  brought  in  prisonorH,  &o.,  from  a  little  before 
i<<  a  Wallace.  He  has  no  doubt  of  tho  intention  to  attack  tho  Indian

Butler  to  Mathows.  As  a  considerable  quantity  of  clothing  and 
other  necessaries  will  be  required  when  his  mon  return  to  quarters

great  hardship  if  the  men,  after  starving  in  the  woods,  should  not 
Obtain  comf^orts  in  quarters.  Presents  are  also  required  for  the 
Indians.  Ho  believes  that  Gen.  Clinton  is  on  tho  North  Eiver  and 
has  taken  the  forts  in  tho  Highlands.  It  ia  evident  that  tho  robels 
mean  to  invado  tho  Indian  country,  both  from  Wyoming  and  J  mice 
Utsego.  Their  numbers  must  bo  considerable,  as  they  have  three 
Generals  at  ihe  former  place-Maxwell,  Sullivan  and  Hand-irom

a  full  supply  hein^  sent,  but  Bolton  will  furnish  enough  to  enable 
them  to  keep  the  field,  which  must  bo  done  so  long  as  there  is  a 
prospect  of  the  rebels  advancing  into  the  Indian  country.  Ho 
(Haidimand)  believes  that  Detroit  is  aimed  at,  if  there  is  any  inten- 
tion of  attacking  one  of  the  posts;  a  trusty  wb'o  man  is  to  be  sent 
to  discover  tho  enemy's  movements  on  the  Susquehanna,  as  he 
believes  tho  reports  of  Indians  and  depcrtcrs  are  merely  sent  as  a 
cover  to  a  leint.  Is  pleased  that  the  Oneidas  are  at  length  coming 
to  their  sent-es  ;  it  will  eave  a  disagreeable  piece  of  business ;  Capt. 
Macdonald  has  leave  to  remain  for  the  campaign.  Calls  attention

late  to  save  the  country  of  the  Five  Nations,  which  has  been 
invaded  and  the  <;orn  and  villages  destroyed.  For  want  of  provisions 
he  (Butler)  had  to  retreat  to  Niagara.  The  enemy  are  retreating, 
but  ho  cannot  yet  tell  by  what  route.  Two  parties  are  leaving  to 
ascertain.  All  the  economy  possible  has  been  used  in  the  Indian 
Department.  Tho  expenses  must  increase  instead  of  being  lesseneo, 
owing  to  tho  Indians  being  driven  from  their  country.  Notwith-

Haidimand  to  Butler.  Eemarks  on  the  report  of  the  invasion  of 
the  Indian  country  and  the  sufferings  from  want  of  provisions. 
The  latter  is  a  clear  proof  of  the  danger  that  a  large  force  would 
have  incurred,  without  the  possibility  of  sending  it  supplies.

and  men  but  he  has  also  a  duty  to  the  King  to  observe  economy. 
Has  taken  upon  himself  the  responsibility  of  naming  him  (Butler) 
a  Provincial  Lieut.  Colonel.  Is  sensible  of  Captain  Butler's  zeal  and 
activity,  but  cannot  promote  him  over  the  heads  of  so  many  officers 
of  merit  and  long  standing  as  compose  the  army  in  this  Province. 
A  flag  will  be  sent  in  a  few  days,  requiring  that  Mrs.  Butler  and 
family  be  sent  into  the  Province  in  exchange  for  Mrs.  Campbell's 
family.  199 

Walter  Butler  to  Mathews.  Is  very  sorry  to  learn  that  the  flag 
for  Albany  had  passed  St.  John's  as  he  had  intended  sending  by  it 
some  money  to  his  mother.  Is  sensible  of  His  Excellency's  favour 
in  the  promotion  of  his  father,  but  is  at  a  loss  to  know  why  he 
himself  has  been  passed  over.  Captain  Dame  is  waiting  for  orders 
to  leave  for  Niagara.  There  is  nothing  going  on  but  feasting  and 
dancing;  ho  finds  it  as  hard  as  scouting.  To  change  the  scone, 
McDonoll  and  he  intend  to  make  the  tour  of  the  mountain  every 
other  day  on  snowshoes.  205 

Statement  showing  the  daily  expenses  of  the  corps  of  rangers 
under  the  old  and  new  arrangements.  207 

Butler  to  Haldimand.  Returns  thanks  for  his  promotion ;  he 
constantly  inculcates  fidelity  oa  the  Indians,  who  still  appear 
warmly  attached.  Scouts  have  been  out  daring  the  winter ;  one 
party  returning  with  prisoners,  through  carelessness  let  them  untie 
themselves  at  night,  so  that  after  killing  five  Indians  they  escaped. 
Brant  and  others  still  oat.  The  scarcity  of  provisions  among  the 
rebels ;  their  currency  worth  only  one  silver  dollar  for  a  hundred 
of  paper.  Points  out  the  necessity  of  contingent  money  for  the 
rangers,  owing  to  the  liability  to  have  their  arms,  &o.,  damaged. 
Asks  leave  to  oome  down  to  settle  hi-9  family  when  they  arrive :

Muod  )neil  to  Mulhowi^.  Has  corrected  fho  pay  bill  in  accordance 
with  tho  acrouni  Kent.  Cannot  answer  certain  inquiries,  being 
entirely  ignorant  of  how  the  business  of  thn  rogiraont  was 
trani-ftcted  at  tho  early  period  to  which  these  refer.  Is  sorry 
that  tho  bills  drawn  in  firivour  of  Bllice  &  Co.,  have  not  been  hon- 
oured. Cjtrnot  dear  tho  regiment  at  its  dinbandrnent  without  specie; 
he,  therefore,  asks  that  a  temporary  warrant  may  bo  granted.  410 
Hiitloi-  to  tho  same.  Stating  that  list  cf  promotions  has  not 
been  oncloned  in  his  lottor  as  said.  Comj/laius  of  tho  inconvenience 
cauHod  by  the  delays  in  mottling  his  contingent  a^iiounts.  Sends  list 
of  farmois,  &c  (p  408)  The  lands  he  and  four  or  five  officers  had 
Bottled  on  turn  out  to  be  on  tho  Kiiig'«  reserve.  He  hopes  that  will 
not  prevent  their  holding  ponsession.  Ua>*  delivered  His  Excel- 
lency's sftoooh  to  the  Indians.  The  land  on  the  three  lakes  belongs 
to  a  number  of  Indian  tribes;  is  afraid  that  the  offer  to  purchase 
will  have  a  bad  effect  on  the  minds  of  tho  Indians.  412 

Same  to  Hjildimand.  That  two  of  his  sons  intend  settling.  Asks 
for  tho  contract  for  the  carrying  place  between  the  landing  and 
Chippewa  Creek.  416 

Joseph  Brant  to  Mathews.  On  his  arrival  here  found  the  Indians 
in  confusion,  owing  lo  reports  circulated  on  behalf  of  Schuyler  ;  has, 
therefore,  determined  lo  continue  tho  settlement  whore  it  is;  to 
move  aorosa  the  river  would  have  caused  more  confusion,  of  which 
tho  rebels  would  have  taken  advantage.  He  expects  in  a  few  days 
to  begin  the  new  settlement.  Peter  Ryckman,  from  Albany,  has 
arrived,  but  his  message  is  not  yet  known,  except  that  it  is  not  from 
the  United  States,  but  from  the  Governor,  Ac,  of  the  State  of  New 
York.  It  seem>)  the  different  States  do  not  agree  among  themselves ; 
at  the  same  lime  he  means  to  give  as  short  an  answer  as  possible,  as 
he  intends  to  make  peace  with  the  whole  of  the  States.  Is  sorry 
tho  clotui^g  has  not  yet  arrived.  416 

Butler  to  the  same.  Is  surprised  the  descriptive  return  hks  not 
been  received ;  sends  another.  The  Indians  from  the  west  are 
expected  lo  attend  the  council  with  the  United  States.  Asks  leave 
to  charge  pay  for  Mr.  Wilkinson,  dismissed  by  Sir  John  Johnson, 
but  whom  he  was  obliged  to  employ.  Mr.  Wilkinson  believob  that 
a  number  of  the  people  settled  in  Nova  Scotia  are  indebted  to  him ; 
it  is  likely  he  will  go  there.  417 

Petition  of  Jacob  Anguish,  a  ranger,  stating  his  services  and  his 
wounded  condition,  and  asking  that  his  situation  be  laid  before  His 
Excellency.    The  petition  is  addressed  to  DoPeyster.  419 

Captain  Armstrong  to  Mathews.  Owing  to  the  illness  of  DePoy- 
Bter,  writes  that  the  provisions  to  the  loyalists,  Indian  Department 
and  Indians  will  be  issued  according  to  instructions.  Gives  reasons 
why  a  number  of  the  discharged  cScers  of  the  Indian  Department 
and  others  are  receiving  ratioui^.  422 

Same  to  the  same.  Eeportin  |  that  tho  relief  had  taken  place  at 
Makinak;  that  part  of  the  detachment  had  arrived  here  (Niagara) 
and  the  rest  expected  tomorrow.  423
