SIR JOHN YOUNG, BART., K.C.B., iJUPBOTIKO 7- ;4-.*6 THE RECENT FENIAN RAID INTO CANADA. ^resenteli to iiotii "^wxsiti of ^aTUamrnt {15 Comntattli aiWtn ^ajestg* 2bth July, 1870. \ No. 178. " Downing Streetj Sir, 5th July, 1870. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch, No. 132, of thd 9th ultimo, with its enclosures, relating to the recent Fenian raid. I have read with sustained interest the graphic accounts given by Colonel Smith and Colonel Bagot of the two aflairs which resulted in the repulse and route if the Fenians on the Missisquoi and Huntingdon i'rontiers. I have sincere pleasure in acknowledging the conduct of the officers, the courage, alacrity, and discipline of the Volunteers and Militia, and the zeal and helpful enthusiasm of the farmers and country people on both the points of attack. The discredit and ridicule attaching to these marauders on account of their signal overtlirow when they had scarcely crossed the frontier must cripple, if not utterly destroy, the means of re-organizing expeditions as wicked and unjustifiable in their conception as they have proved to be feeble and unsuccesslul in their execution. The genuine admiration of the spirit and behaviour of the Canadian levies which pervades the reports of Colonel Smith and Colonel Bagot is the best evidence that their easy success is not so much due to the character of their opponents as to the intrinsic qualities of the Canadians, the promptitude, courage, and intelligence which make individuals distinguished and a nation great. I have, &c., The Right Honourable Sir John Young, Bart, (Signed) Granvillk. &c. &c. &c.
