 May IT PLEASE Your ExcELLE^iCY, ' \ 
 
 W' . ■■": ■ " ' ' ■ ' .: •-- - ^' \ " 
 
 E» the Inhabitants of the City and neighbourhood of Quebec, beg leave to congtatttlate 
 
 Your Excellency on youf safe return to the bosom of your much respected Fjirnily. i 
 
 We have beheld with admiration the resources which the wise and conciliatory measures of Your Excel* 
 
 Ipncy have, in a most eminent degree, brought into operation ; and under Divine Providence, our utmost 
 
 gratitude is due to Yout Excellency, for having, hitherto, without the eifusion of blood, arrested the threat* 
 
 cncd invasion of oup Country by an inveterate foe, envious of our happiness, and jealous of the power do 
 
 , justly possessed by our beloved Sovereign. 
 
 Your Excellency has duly appreciated the character-of His Majesty's Subjects in this Province, and 
 we feel.a pride which language can with difficulty express, in contemplating the unanimous zc^I; loyalty 
 and courage displayed by the whole Population, in the support and defence of the Government. 
 \ The confidence Your Exellency has placed in the Peo|Je committed to your care, has only awakene<l 
 those generous sentiments by which their ancestors «rere distinguished ; and, in^is part of the Province 
 but one feeeling prevailed at the moment of the late premediutcd attack, that of regret at being at a 
 distance from Your Excellency, and Q]i|t Brethren in Arms." Your Excellency may, with confidence, rely 
 __^ on the Unanimous co-operation of the entire Population, whenever you may see fit to caU t4iem forward. 
 
 In eongftitulating Your Excellency on the Surrender of De'tfeit, the glorious success which attended^ 
 His Majesty's Arms at the Battle of Quefenston, and the heroism with which our Sister Province of Up- 
 per Canada is struggling in the Common Causc^ yre must beg to be permitted to pay a just and weU me* 
 rited tribute of respect to the memory of the brave and much lamented Major Genebal Brock, whose 
 death we consider as a public loss. * 
 
 Supported by His Majesty's Regular.Forees, under the command of brave and experienced Officers, 
 and Your ExceUency possessing the confidence of aU His Majesty's Subjects, we have little 'to dfead | 
 and we humbly beg leave to express to Y6ur Excellency our gratitude to the Army, and t6 the other Em. 
 bodied Corps in both Provinces, for the zeal and courage which pervades the whole. 
 
 We sincerely pray for the restoration of Peace, without a wish that the smaUest concession should b 
 •made to the ambitious, unwise and unjust policy of thcN^Vmerican Rulers. A state of warfare is by 1) 
 means desirable, but forced oh us by a Power with whom our Mother Country has- evinced the most sit- 
 cere desir^ of refining at (peace, we shall consider nb sacrifice too great to repel every attack, and we 
 ■pledge ourselves to support Your ExceUency with our lives and fortunes, should the Enemy persist in their 
 ambitious views, arid dare to attempt the invasion of the Province. p^ 
 
 That Your Excellency may be the instrument, under Divine Providence, of securing to Hjs Majesty's- 
 North American Colonies, a continuation of the ineatirtiable blessings* they have hitherto enjoyed, that 
 your merits may meet with the full approbation of ouf Beloved Sovereign, aUd of His Royal Highness 
 the Prince Regent ; and that you may, at the end of a glorious aiid-TOccessfuI Contest, rerire in peace 
 and happiness, to the enjoyment of every domestic felicity, is our most sincere "desire ; and we venture to 
 add, without fear of contradiction, that of all our Fellow Siitjects throughout the Piovince.
