A FARM of '200 superficial Acres, will be given in full property, to each <yf the three first i%Ie, yober and industrious New-England Farmers, accustomed to clear new Lands, who will engage to settle on the Lots assigned to them, on the abovernentioned tract, before the breaking up of the Snow in the ensuing Spring, (about the beginning of April) bringing with them their Workiig Oxen, and Instruments of Agricultiu-e complete, adapted to a n^w settlement. To such persons, in addition to the gift of Lands, a sum of Money, at interest of 6 per cent, will be advanced, if required, to the value of their Stock and Farming Implements, and also to enable them to purchase at Quebec, Provisions, Spring Wheat, Peas and Oats, for the ensuing seabon. The Proprietors of the aforementioned Tract of Land, having recently obiained a grant of it from the Commissioners of the Jesuit's Estates, partly with a view to the introduction of the American nxethod of clearing and cultivating Lands, in the \-icinity of Quebec, it is particularly wished tiiat the Settlers should bring with them Farming Implements, Seeds, &c. in fact every thing that they may want, excepting Provisions, and tl e articles aforementioned to be purchased in Quebec, the same as if they were going into an entire new country.— Settlers acquainted with each other, and having Families, not exceeding four small chiltlren, will be preferred. Upon good lecommendations, a small sum of Money would be advanced before their setting out. The Jesuit's Estates are well known to be among the best in Canada ; the Lands in question, at so short a distance from Quebec, have only remained in their present uncultiva. ted state, owing to the Commissioners not being anxious to make grants, and tlie want of information and enterprise among the Farmers in the vicinity. The whole of the Lands comprised in the above Tract, are unquestionably equal to any in Lower-Canada ; the ground level, or rising in gentle swells, rich and easy to be cleared. The Jacques Cartier runs through the whole of tlieni, every Lot having a siiare of the River, which is here from 70 to 110 yards in width, and navigable for Rafts and Canoes, upwards of twenty miles. Though the Tract of tiie Proprietors docs not exceed 4500 acres, there is abundance of good Land in the neighbourhood, which may be had on paying a mere annual acknowledgment of about a peimy per acre. The River on which tiie Lands lie, is only ten miles from the popiJous Villages of Lorettt and St.Ambroise ; a Road from Quebec is legally laid out and opened to within four miles of the River, and this portion is now opening by the Proprietors. The Timber is generally large Sugar Maple, Black Birch, Ash and Elm ; but there is a suffi- ciency of Pine and other Wood suitable tor Building. A Saw Mill will be erected on a large stream at the ilistance of a few acres from the River, in the ensuiug Summer ; Mch of toe Proprietors having engaged to improve one Lot for himself without delay. The three first Settlers are to be associated with the Proprietors, in proportion to their share of Land, in all the advantages arising from the Saw Mill, the property of which is to be coniiiion. Application to be mmh' immediatchj to at or by Letter inclosing sufficient recommni' daiions for sobrietij and imhistri/, to J. Neilsox, Esq. at Quebec. f QuEiihc, 1 2tli January, 181G.
