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

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.

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
s ►-
ziU
\ (?
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
XiT
^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,
ang list irt published for purposes of comparison.

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
V
zvli
V
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-
XTill
bor, 1194, 0. 791, p. 16. Littlehalot to LoMaiatre, 20th January. 1795, p. 23). In
179ff, MiloH rocoivod from Lord Dorchestor his oommimion as oaptain. Id 1800,
he WUH Httttionod at Fort George (Niagara) whore he served with the batulion tilt
its roduotion in 1602 (C. 794, pp. 102. 304). A lettir from hiH father, then lieata-
nant-colonel of the battalion, dated at Port George, 10th July, 1800, throws a oa-
rioufl light on the intorferonoe with olootions that waH sanctioned at that time by
the highest aulhoj jtics.* The letter addrosaed to Major Grocn, Military Scorei*ry,
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)

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 :

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
primarily for fac.htat.ng the transport of military stores and munitions, but with

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.
The history of the construction of a canal on tho Canadian side of the Sault Ste
Mario 19 still more obscure than that of tho St. Lawrence canals. The very exist-
ence of this canal has been entirely forgotten. Being a private undertaking, there
are no records of tho work in any public department. British or Canadian Evi-

buildings, and that we aek for nothing unreasonable." (0. 363, pp. 38 to 40 )
Gabriel Franohere (Relation d'un Voyage ; Montreal, 1830, p. 276) states that
on his arrival at the east end of Michipiooton Bay, on the 26th of July, 1814, he
met Captain McOargo, and the crew of one of the schooners of the North- West
Company, who had escaped from Sault Ste. Marie. About 150 Americans in com-
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.

"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."

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

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

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

Iho passage has been of uncommon length, & for a summer ono very boister-

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

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.

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,,

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.

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

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.

(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.
MILES MACDONELL.
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

My Lord,
York Factory, 4th July, 1812.
'
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,

•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

necoHHary information as to trannport, &o. From 3,000 to B.OOO

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

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

Innes. 9g
James Jones to the same. The gratification at the reinforcement

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

Varlo. The motives of tho people of West Florida in asking for
troops. Tho removal of O'Reilly from New Orleans has deprived
them of that pretext. The prospects ol" war in Europe, the incredi-
ble success of the Russian arms, both by sea nnd land. The Turks
soem in a fair way to lose all their European territories. The
wretched situation of Poland , Fleet fit ting out probably for Lisbon.
The violonco of party and faction at home subiided ; the Boston
rautinocrs will probably see themselves left by their English coad-
jutors and exposed to deserved chastisement, whilst New York, by a
timely retreat, will meet with roward'instoad of punishment. 139
St Augustine- -'^^^^ell to the same. Sowers has informed him of tho loss of the
■ vessel with ull the stores to furnish tho officers' barracks. Orders

tachment to be sent according to orders. The fusiliers to be kept
entire. Farmer gone to New York. P. S. dated the 15th, res-
^ peoting regimental affairs. 142
StfAuguauie. ^^^^^ ^'ant to the same. The difficulty of communicating with
' Pensacola. Has been successful in getting two regiments; only a
detachment to go to New Providence. The progress and cost of tha
barracks. Is fond of seeing military money circulated in the Prov-

Same to the same. Has ordered St. George du Pr6 to mend the

posed of the Six Nations inclined to cut off the convoy between
Ofiwegatchio and Doer Island ; will order an escort. Leaves tho

Haldimand to Brehm (in French). Disagreeable letters received
fro.Q Niagara and Detroit. Hopes ho will havo arrived before tho

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

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>

l>otroit, and get all the information on his return. Aubrey has sent
out a scout of Indians to Oswego, and will report direct. No agri-
culture can be carried on at Carlelon Island for want of men, and
from the work to do getting up a new vessel, &c. ; the " Haldimand"
being much decayed. The good character of Andrews, her captain
llei should have a commission to prevent disputes with Bouthotte'
and also hivo the carpenters under his direction. 3^
Haldiinand to Biehm (in French). Had received a letter irom
Ensign Davies, that a party of 30 rebel Indians who had boon
hanging round his post had killed two men and taken away four
prisoners, but made no motion of him (Brehm) having passed the
post. His uneas'ness relieved by receipt of a letter from Carloton

Does not believe tho Virginians will daro to attack Niagara so long
as the Five Nations are faithful. Tho only way tho enemy can
come is by Oswego, and it would be as easy to attack Detroit, whero
he learns tho inhabitants aie not too well dinposed. Depends on

-Brehm to llaldimund. Uis arrival after being twice driven back
to Carleton Island. The necessity of having whites with the Indians
at 0^wegatchie aid Carleton -iHiund, as the Indians cannot bo trusted
alone. No suitable oflSiots at Niagara. It would be of great ser-
vice if Canadian officers were sent, or if Campbell could get any
from Montreal. Hulton ncovertd; his qualities for tho command.
Discusses the prospects of Indian cooperation and moann of securing
it. Is trying to obtain information as to tho number of hon-es and
cattle for provisions when Oswego is to be occupied. Tho Indians
have promised i.'iOO warriors to protect these who are to re-estab-
lish that post. The impolicy of reilucing rations and rum to the
seamen on the lakes during the present critical time. If insisted
on, how the reduction should bo made. Difficulties in the provincial
marine in respect to rank of oflBcers. The carrying capacity of the
vessels. Bolton's desire to have authority for discretionary powers
direct from headquarters. Atks to have one of his officers at Carle-
ton Island, so that ho would obey orders on an emergency. Ho
(Brehm) suggests that Fraser id the best man at tho island, and
might be desired to obey orders from Bolton. Tho value of the
services that might be rendi red by tho emigrants to Oswego, the
upper posts or Niagara. DePoyster runs more rihk from Chicago,
by the Illinois river, than Lernoult. Bolton sending out parties
towards Tuscarawas and Fort Pitt, but Clarke, having taken Vin-
cennes in February, may have tirao to attack DePeystor. Propohea
leaving for Detroit, flow Oswego may be put in defensible order.

for that purpose. iJeturns of proviMons, &c. The state of the fort,
if finiKhod before it is attacked, il wili be very tenable. Is surprised
that Dr. Anthon has not yet got his apjiointmerit as surgeon to the
General Hospital ; his past services. The delicate state of Ler-
lioult's health ; he and Bolton able officers and it is lucky they are
uere. Will require to remain longer to gel full information as to
the forts, &c. Page 71
Brehm to DePeystor, Michillimakinak, desiring him to send
details of the state of the fort, &c., and what can be done for its
defence. Ho is to get a side or sides of the fort proof against small
cannon ; to report the movemonts of the enemy ; the feelings of
Indians, &c. i^g
Same to Haldimand. For want of sailors iiis (Haldimand's) de-
spatches cannot be sent by vessel to Michillimakinak, but will send
them by bateaux. Is sending order to DoPeyster (p. 76). Will
wan for an answer. Fjom an intercepted letter it appears that the
post IS not in such danger as was imagined, or he would have gone
there. How he proposes to obtain information to prepare for expe-
ditions to dislodge ihe rebels from their forts in the Indian conn-
^'y- 78
Haldimand to Brehm (in French). Is pleased to learn that affairs
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.

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

Same to Haldimaud. Respecting power proposed to be given
to Lernoult to hold courts martial. Plan of rebul fort at Tuscara-
was er closed; plan made by Captain Bird. Baby's opinion that
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
store them at their own risk. State of Bolton's garrison. He hopes
it will not be diminished, 105
Same to the same. Had arrived the previous night and found Slak

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

Chambers will prevent any attempt to burn the ohipH during the
winter. 125

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

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

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

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

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

the best methods of building. Finds it a maxim " that has been

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

reprimanded. At the Council of the Six Nations, the Indiana
warned that unless they refrained from such proceedings, they could

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

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

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
Estimate of a building, the property of Mr. Por.syth. 117
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

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.

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
retaliate and try to ingratiate themHolvos with Congress. 157
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

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

some trouble may bo caused by them; thoy are constantly passing
in largo parties between this and tho southwird by tho holtlomenta
of Virginia. 'The good behaviour of the DoUwares and thoir wit-o and
prudent advice to the other nations. A proporly authorized depu-
tation of the Six Nations would do good. The apprehension the
Indians have of the disposition of the Kentuckians. Hopes that for

McKeo to Major Wall (U.S.) Informing him that tho Indians

well, and will believe no bad stories. All public works at the posts

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-

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-

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

recommends that he be appointed to conduct them to England. 231

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

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.

treated Douglas and McCully and sent them off satisfied, by the way
of Odwego, 266
Copy of letter to Douglas, dated I6th July, follows. 268
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,
in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The list hua been sent to
DePeyster, with instructions to recover the prisoners and restrain
the Indians, as otherwise His Excellency could neither assist nor

protect them ; Sir John .Johnson has arrived and sent for the chiefs to
meet him. Wishes it were over, to prevent Sir John from buying
rum of which there is none in store. Difference of opinion between
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-
ward of Lake Erie are here ; a list of the prisoners lately taken has
been given to Sir John Johnson for them and hfe (Johnson) is to
speak to them in strong terms of the mischief they will bring on
themselves, if they do not refrain from acts of hostility to the Ame-
ricans. Page 279

Maclean i> Jaldimand. Sir John Johnson has left for Canada
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

tady loaded with rum to trade at the upper posts, and shall detain

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
other boats from coming up, 2nd August. Transmitting a letter

parties on the Ohio to warn thorn of the necessity of keeping the
peace. McKoe wanted here to wait Sir John Johnson's instructions
respecting the Six Nations ; so long as the hatchet remains iu the
hand of the Indians it will be difficult to restrain them. Is surprised
at not hearing from Sir John Johnson ; desires to have orders
respecting the employment of McKee and Duperon Baby, both of
whom are necessary. ■' qq >

Maclean to Mathews. Stating the hardship that Hamilton and
Cartwright would be subjected to, on account of low orioeof rum as
compared with the rate when they lent to Government. They have
always been foremost in assisting the 'Government with loan of
goods. Suggests other arrangements regarding the sale of rum.
DePeyster reports the price of flour at Detroit at £5 currency per
100 pounds^ but hopes it will soon be £3 10s.; there is not a drop
?»/"?* at -Detroit, and the naval department begin to cry out. He
(Maclean) to prevent tho seamen from deserting, has sent a
puncheon to be served out to those at Fort Brie, the same as at
^etroit. It 8 a pity such a cursed liquor as rum was ever found out.
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

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

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

the appointment of an additional interpreter. No plan of operation

Same to the same. Letters from Bird and McEeo leave little doubt

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
'* Welcome " to be sent for that purpose. 148
Same to the same. Has received copies of letteis from DePeyster
and papers intercepted on the Ohio, "rhe miscarriage of the attack
on the Spanish settlements ; the hostilities between the Indians of
St. Joseph and in the neighbourhood of Vincennes to be stopped.
Cannot send Sinclair a reinforcement. The bad conduct of the
Indians on Bird's expedition. The answer to be made to the com-
plaints of the Potawatamies of their traders being removed. Until
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

merits reward and others. The terms to bo made with those going
with the troops. 150

gements for dividing settlers, part to Detroit, to Niagara and to

houses to be built. All settlements to be made strictly according to
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
that, like provisions, is easily said, but the whole good of the servico
must beconsideied. 154

Illinois. 168
Same to the same. In consequence of the treacherous conduct of

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

How repairs and works are to be carried on. The transport of pro-

Same to Bolton. Nothing more can bo done about Michillimak.

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-

immediately done. j^ji

Means taken to make the loss of the vessel of as little detriment

been of great concern to him. (The lose of the " Ontario," with Col.
Bolton and ail on board, p. 18.3.) Means taken to make good the lona
of the vessel. Material has been prudently prepared by (japt. Fraaer,
Reiterates the caution about the consumption of provisions, &o.
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
him to be kept at Niagara where they can do no mischief. Page 187
Same to the same. Papers received ; the examination of a pri-
soner, who has been sent to Carleton Island ; report of Lieut.
Turney's scout. The prisoner mentioned is already at Coteau da
Lac to be forwarded by the first bateaux. 191
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-
limakinak. Difficulty of procuring surgeons. 198

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.

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.

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-

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

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.

behaved remaikibly woli, and tho report of IJuriroyno's ill success
does not t^ecm to have warped thera in tho Hnuillo-*!; degree. Would
have joined Burgoyno with a body of Indians, but had neither pro-
viMonsnor clothing necessary, and before a body could be collected
tho fato of tho army was known. Itoportof the success of Clinton

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

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

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

Macdonald has leave to remain for the campaign. Calls attention

Butler to Haidimand. Tho reiclorcements have been sent too
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-
stand their losses, they seem unshaken in their attachment to His
Majesty's cause. jijij

Walter Butler to Mathews. Eoturns thanks for His Excellency's

wants of the families of some of the rangers ; provisions are so
hig'.i that the men cannot purchase them for their families, sent
down from Niagara to ease the demands on provisions there. Sug-
gests that Captain Dame should be sent to Niagara. 196
Mathews to Walter Butler. Orders have been sent to Captain
McAlpino to make inquiries respecting the families mentioned in
his letter (p. 196) and to give such relief as circumstances admit
of. 198
Haldimand to Butler* The reasons given by the Indians for not
leaving the country appear to be veafionable (p. 187) ; if they by
hunting, &c., relieve the strain upon Butler and enable him to get
through the winter without distress he shall be pleased. Enters into
details respecting the pay and allowances of the rangers as compared
with the regular forces; he will do all in his power for the officers
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.

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
