The fZrl t ' distinguish between these and Departmental Records, having apparently led to con us,„„, ,t may not be tmproper to repeat, that the Departmen J Lcords are b^ ,Z m charge of the Mtnistcr of each Department , that, on receipt or transmi sion alh document ts summartzed, indexed and ..gistered. When no longer roZ'dfor current reference, thedocuments are transferred to the Departmental fi, 3 Cl ■n charge of a departmental keeper, no additional indexing being reaniL the oZ .ndexcsbetng sufficient for all purposes, and the document being 1,; „h inah, by reference to the register. On the other hand, theduty of c*cting' ar ^gt; and proBerving the HiHtorioal Rocorda, or Arcblvoa, was, hy a special rosolutlon of Parliamont, on tlio report of a Joint Coraraittoo of both Hoasos, entrusted to the Minister of Agriculture, m Minister of Arts and Stalistios, in whoxo custody all docu- ments of this nature ought to be found. In 1872, Parliament voted to the Miniator.of Agriculture the sum asked for, and in that year I had tlio honour of being selected by you to organize the newly created office. The work had to bo begun ab ovo, not a single document of any description being in the room set apart for the custody of the Archives. Much that was neces- sarily of a preliminary- nature, had to bo done. The first important contribution to the collection was mudo by the "War Office, which, after some negotiations, conducted by me when in London, in 1873, consented to transfer the Canadian military correspon- dence, going back nearly 100 years, which was packed up in Halifax ready for trans- mission to London. These papers nnm'ier upwards of 200,000 documents of various sizes, shapes and contents, and no provision having been made for clerical assistance I was obliged, unassisted, to classify, arrange and prepare them for binding. They are now on the sholves, bound in 1,037 volumes, besides a collection of mixed Civil and Military documents obtained elsewhere, about the same time, which had also to be arransfod and classified, and which are now on the sholves, to the number of 197 volumes. Thi Haldimand collection, copies of which have boon obtained in the British Museum, I have calendared, so far as received, to the date of my leaving for Europe, in May last, and since obtaining clerical assistance, I have had upwards of 2,60U piges of the calendars so prepared, copied for the printer, in case it should be de- termined to have them published, which I bag to suggest, or to be bound for reference in MS., should that suggestion not be adopted. In the Report for 1882, will be found a specimen of the manner in which the work of calendaring has been done. These various operations wore, of course, in addition to investigating, corresponding and attending to other duties, and ai-e mentioned simply as an evidence of the careful economy observed in the expenditure of the grant made by Parliament, an economy which continues to be strictly adhered to. The progress of the work will bo best seen by referring to the Reports which I have had the honour to present, trom time to time. I venture again most respectfully, to call attention to the inadequacy of the Archives rooms, in point of space and accommodation. Additional shelving has been added, which will relieve the pressure for a time, but only at the expense of encroach- jng on space, already too limited. According to the instructions I received before leaving Ottawa, to enter on thei; work of investigation. I at once, on my arrival in London, placed myself in commu- nication with the Colonial Office, which had received a despatch from His- Bxcellencjl the Governor General, accrediting mo to the Earl of Derby, the Secretary of State for the Colonies; every facility was afltorded me by the Colonial Office, by placing me in communication with the Master of the IIoIIb and the different Departments of 8 ocial resolution of , entrusted to the ouHtody all docu- m aukod for, and in the newly created of any description h that was uecoM- contribution to the iions, conducted by lilitary correspon- 'ax ready for tran»- umonta of various clerical assistance, )r binding, Thoy on of mixed Civil which had also to le number of 197 1 obtained in the of my leaving for > had upwards of ISO it should be de- ound for reference 882, will be found loen done. These lorresponding and >nce of the careful rnent, an economy k will bo best seen mt, trom time to inadequacy of the shelving has been jense of encroach- a, to entei" on the j aiysolf in commu-f mHis-Bxcellencjl scretary of State; ce, by placing me | t Departments of State to which applications for access to papem wore necessary. In this ronnect I was greatly indebted to Mr. MoaJe, of the Colonial Omoe, for his unvarying courtesy all my applications be'ag attended to and forwarded by that gentleman with the greatest promptitude, so that I met with no delay in entering on my duties A detailed Htatomont of the work done in the difTeront offices will be found in a subso- quent part of this Eeport. In carrying out your instructions, I considered that the best method of doin^so was to concentrate my efforts, as much as possible, and to take such copious notes as would enable mo to place on record so clearly what was done, that no necessity would anse for a f ■ e h examination of the papers on which 1 1 ave now the honour to report. Bui in doing i hi., very considerable time was necessarily spent in comparing the sots of papern deposited in the different Departments of State, those, for instance in the Colonial, tl.e Foreign, and the War Offices, the Lords Commissioners for Trldo and Plantations, now known as the Board of Trade, and the collections of State papers in the British Museum, on which I formerly reported. The object of this comparison was two-fold : to avoid needless expense in re-copying duplioatos. and to prevent the consequent accumulation of copies of the same papers, that might bo found ,n two. three or even four series. To guard still further against this useless mulfphcation. I left very carefully written instructions for the guidance of the copy- istsund the revisor, by which, and by the indications given in this Report. I trusit that the chance of duplicating copies will be reduced to a minimum. The Stato papers deposited in the Public Record Office can bo examined only in accordance with rules laid down by the Department to which they belong With the strongest possible desire to interpose no obstacles in the prosecution of my searches the Deputy Keeper of Record, and his assistants could only actas tiiose rules directed! The obstacles their strict observance present to a thorough search may easily be seen, when it is understood that, by the regulations, no papers belonging to the Por- t?ifin9 .7 ^';^'^'-'^ «^ « date subsequent to 1760. or by special permission, up to 1802; of the Colonial Office, to the same dato (17G0), the Board of Trade papers being included in the latter; of the Treasury, to 1759. &c. In the case of a search being required for any special named subject, permission has sometimes been granted for access to papers subsequent to these dates, but as the investigations I was directed to make were of the>ost general nature, it was necessary to obtain general permis- mission to examine all papers, down to the most recent date, for which leave could be secured m the case of the Colonial Office p.,pers. this leave was most willingly granted by the Earl of Derby, and Hi. Lordship also placed himself in communica tion with the other Departments of State, to obtain for me the same privilege in re- gard to their papers. The P'oreign Office, on the 27th August, informed the Colonial Office, in answer to my application, that I would be allowed to examine the papers down to^l8l_5.^ There being, however, many documents subsequent to tha^date! which it was most important Hhould bo aocosHiblo at Ottawa, 1 thought it do«irabl© to malie a further upplication, and, therefore, prepared the following nicmorandum.

' " ^ DOUGLAS BRYMNBE, Archioiit. London, 11th September, 1883. This I placed in the hands of Sir Charles Tapper, the High Commissioner, who at once urged the matter personally, with the result shown in the following official answer from the Foreign office to the Colonial office. " roHEioN Office, 2l8t September, 1883. " SiB,--With reference to your letter of the 15th inst., I am directed by Lord Granville to inform you that his Lordship has no objection to treating Mr. Brymner's case as an exceptional one, and to allowins,' him to have access to tho Foreign Office papers, deposited in the Eecord office relating to Canada down to the year 1842 but that he is of opinion that he should not bo allowed to take away copies of any Daoers without submitting them to tho authorities uf the Eowrd Office in the first instance' and subsequently to the Foreign Office for the approval of Lord Granville ' "His lordshm also directs me to inform you, that he desires it to be clearly understood that ATr.

By;^i'«;lar application, permission was given to inspect tho-ecords and papon, in the Pr.vy Counc.l, but I was unable to do more than viait the office and make a proI„amary investigation, owing to the late date at which the privilege wangranted. The perm.s.s,on i., a. in the other caae., not conflnod to the immediate time, but extonifj to invoHtigations that may ro-iuire to be made hereafter. Tlje name remark applies to the leave granted, in answer to my application through the Colonml Office, by tho Board of Management of the Royai institution, which contain, a series of papers known as the Oarleton or Dorchester Collection. As the rooms were to be closed for a time, I spent some hours there, to satisfy myself as to tho general character of tho papers. Those 1 examined related chiefly to the t..ansacUons in which Carleton was engaged whilst in command in New YoHc &o during tho Revolutionary War. They will. I believe, repay careful examination' on a' future occasion, but I did not feel justified in entering upon a task that would inter- fere with the work of. for the time, more immediate concern. Besides. I believe that their contents will require to be compared carefully with those of State papers of the same period deposited in the Record Office. Mr. Vincent, the Secretary of the Royal Institution, kindly offered to make arrangements for a thorough examination, when- ever it should bo determined upon. Having made such an examination and selection in the Public Record Office as enabled me to famish a sufficient amount of w.rk for the copyi.t., ab.ut the end of Juno I loft for Paris, according to instructions, to make arrangements with Mr Joseph Marmette, tho Assistant Archivist, for the prosecution of tho work in the Prench Departments of State. Oa my arrival, I found that His Evclleacy, Lord Lyons, tho British Ambassador, to whom I was accredited by Lord (IranviUe was unfortunately, absent, from ill health. Mr. Plunkett, tho Secretary of the Embassy (since appointed Ambassador to Japan), was, however, most obliging. His assistant waa not merely official or perfunctory. Oa the contrary, he appeared to take a per- sonal interest in the success of the work. In the Departments of State, there was an entire absence of friction in the intercourse with the French officials. I may bo permitted to refer to, and to acknowledge the attentions of the H.ads of tho Porei^u and Colonial Departments-M. de Rialle and M. Aval-which secured for Mr Mw,. mette and myself all needed facilities. The details of the work done in the Dopart- ments will bo found in the statement by Mr. Marmette, which forms part of this report. During the time I was in Paris, I entflrod upon two special subjects for investiga- tion — one an examination into the method adopted there of preparing catalogaes, so as to be most readily avilable for reference j the other, the examination and seloction of such works as related directly to the history of Canada. In the selection of his- torical works, I spared no pains, after a careful examination of several thousand titles and descriptions, to ascertain by a minute and careful scrutiny of the workb eolootod for special examination, thatthey were complete editions, whether original or reprints^ 80 that no i nperfect copies might find their way to the shelves. Many of the works, it ib almost unnecessary vo say, requii-ed only careful collation, their value being well known, but otherd required a critical examination of their contents, so as to ascertain their value, or othei-wise. An op'^ortunity presented itself, of which I took advantage, to make a collection of maps, illustrating the history of Nouvelle Prance and of British North America. A few are reprints, but nearly all are originals. In making the selection,! was guided by the desire to secure useful and not merely rare or curious maps,and I took the greatest care to satisfy myself as to the real date of the original issue, so that they might be arranged chronologically. Se^reral, as may bo infeiTod from this statement, are undated, but I think' it will be found that the period of their publication, or in the case of reprints, their original publication, is almost positively fixed by direct or collateral evidence. The maps and a suitable collection of chai-ts, I have had bound, in such a manner as to make them rasy of access and at the same time to preserve them from injury. In maps at pages 32, 35 and 3*7, of volume V, tho boundaries ot the Hudson's Bay Company's territories are laid down, professedly according to the Treaty of Utrecht. In 32, the line stated to be " the southern boundary of the Hudson's Bay, settled by Commissaries after the Peace of Utrecht," is coincident with 49° north latitude, leav- ing a portion of the Lake of the Woods to the south of the line which, running due east, takes in Lake and Fort Abitibi. The other maps (35, 31) represent the bounds by an in egular line to the north of 49°, presumedly following the supposed height of land, leaving Lake of the Woods altogether to the south, in a territory l>3tween what is represented on the map as tho northern boundaries of New England and ihe southern bonndaries of the Hudson's Bay Territories, Che one extending to 48" and the other to about 49^. Map 35, professes to give the boundaries of all the grants in America]; No. 37 gives only the New Eugland and the Hudson's Bay limits, "What authority the compilers of these maps had for fixing the limits, it is not easy to ascertain. Any special investigation into the question of boundaries was beyond the scope of my instructions, although the subject came incidentally under my notice. % I in the Depart- b of this report. s forinvcstiga- catalogaeH, so 1 and seloction lection of hi»- thousand titles (vorkb eolo3tod lal or reprints, J' of the works, ilue being well as to ascertain ike a collocticn th America.

Thus, limong the Colonial entry books, is a volume numbered 25, with the title I " Transactions Betwecne England and France, relateing to the Hudsons Bay, 1687." Among the Foreign Office Eecords, under the title of" Franco, Miscellaneous' Corres- pondence, 1687," is a duplicate of the same (No. 309) and among the Treaties in the Foreign Office collecHon, is a Treaty of Neutrality, No. 101 (FO. 46) in Latin, signed J at Whitehall, on th© 6th-16th November, and ratified at Versailles on the 29th Novem- Iber, 168';. If I The Treaty and the Transactions relate to the same dispute, the Transactions I being an account of the proceedings before the Commissioners, appointed by virtue |of the Treaty, to agree upon the points to be definitely settled. The two copies, |Colonial 25 and Foreign 309, are exactly alike, line for line and page for page] .*,|although the entries in the catalogues would lead to the supposition that they are* two diflferent documents, and that the Treaty has no reference to either.

A barren abstract of the vossek entered is occasionally at the foot of the letter of advice. It is possible that the missing returns may be found by farther search amongst the papers of the Board of Trade, but this is by no means certain. The statistics contained in ,thom would be of great service to the commercial historian, and the importance of those returns is increased by the f.vct, shown in the Archives Report for 1882, that all the reporte relating to Canadian Trade and Customs now in the hands of the Custom House an- thoruio. m London, go no further back than 182^. In the Quebec series of the Colonial Office papers. Vol. 56-2, is a paper signed H.T.C., that is Cramahe, dated lOth June, 1765, with an abstract of duties and disbursements in Quebec,ftom the Conquest,n59 to October, U6i, with a proposed scale of Provincial duties, but the only complet^ I statement, so far discovered, is that from 1768 to 1783, given in last year's Report.

I am indebted to Mr. Allan ParkPaton, of Greenock, Scotland, for an interesting^ volume, the first work evor p-.blished in that town, being the "Adventures of J. McAlpine, a native Highlanao. , from the time of his emigration from Scotland to America, in 1773." The work was published in 1780, and dedicated to Sir Guy Carleton. McAlpino served as a Loyalist under Caileton. Burgoyne. Hamilton. I'hiliips, Powell and other officers, lost all his property, and for his loyalty was exi pelled from the country in common with many others. 12 Works of this character, whether published at the timo or subfiequeutly, would be of material service as contributions towards the elucidation of various points of Canadian history. A beginning of such contributions, I am happy to say, has already been made. Among these, I have to acknowledge from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, by the hands of Dr. Lyman 0. Draper, a complete set of the catalogues of the Library and of the transactions of that Society, including many very interesting papors. Also, from the State Library of Now York, by the attention of Dr. Homes, a collection of documents, a list of which will be found at the end of this Report. To Mr. Black, the Treasurer, and to the late Mr. Ansley, City Surveyor, of Montreal, thanks are due for valuable collections of reports respecting the progiess of that city. For other papers, pamphlets, &c., presented by individuals, I would refer to the list at the end of the Report. Special voferenco may, however, bo per- ■mitted to the collection of letters addressed to Sir Charles Bagot, whilst Governor- General of Canada, presented by his grandson, Mr. Joscelyn Bagot, Grenadier Guards, and to the collection sent by Sir Francis Hincks, K.CM.G., one of which is publiahed by his permission. In the Greville Memoin, Vol, IH., page 125, of the London edition, is an entry, dated 20th December, 1835, in these words : " I have just seen an excellent letter from Frederick Elliot to Taylor, with a description of the state of parties and aoiost exposi on those heads that has been transmitted from thence." On the information furnished by Sir Francis Hincks, I wrote to Sir Henry laylor, to whom the letter spoken of by Mr. Greville was addressed. Sir Henry at first sent me ..^,>5 of two letters, the one referred to by Mr. Greville, dated 24th October. 1835, and another dated the I2th November of the same year. Subsequently, however, he eentthe originals, which he had found afler a long and troublesome search, with permission to publish them, and sometime after, two additional letters. ^ese letters were written by Mr. T. Fred. Elliot, the youngest son of the Right Hon. Hugh Elliot, and nephew of the first Lord Minto. He was in Canada in 1835, as Secretary oftheGosford Commission, and whilst in that position, wrote the letters m question, unofficially, to his friend, Mr., now Sir, Henry Taylor, of the Colonial Office. Tbey were considered of sufficient importance to be submitted to the Ministry, and were passed from one to another of the members of the Administration . The' following note, written by LordHowick, respecting the first letter, shows the sense entertained of the value of the correspondence :— " Wab Opfioe, Thursday. •«^Jl?fnn^'^J-^°^'r? '■?!"'''

The effect those letters probably had in shaping tho Colonial logislation of that critical period would appear to be sufficient justiQcation for publishing them. They will be found in notes A 1 and 2, at the end of this Report. As an interesting pendant to these letters, written before tho outbreak of 1837-38 I is a letter from the Hon. A. N. Morin, to Sir Francis Hincks, 81 h May, 1841, shortly before the first meeting of the Legislature of United Canada (Mth June, 1841). The I letter will be found at note B. Early on the morning of the 13th October, 1812, Major General Sir Isaac Brock fell at Queenston, "whilst," to use the words of Major General Shoaffo, his Rucossor "gallantly cheering his troops to an exertion for maintaining it." The last official lettor he wrote before his death, is amongst the military correspondence in this office The whole letter, chiefly written on the llth, with a postscript of tho 12th has been published in " Brock's Life," by his nephew, Mr. Ferdinand Brock Tupper. from a rough draft found among Sir Isaac's papers. The biographer expresses a doubt whether it was ever sent, a doubt which its existence among the military correspondence sets at rest. The letter is written on rough foolscap, and is in Sir Isaac's own hand. For some time after the Conquest, tte only Protestant clergy in tho Province of ' Canada were the military and naval chaplains, who presumedly kept the registers of the baptisms, marriages and burials of the Protestant inhabitant.. Even after there was a resident clergy, their number was so few that the chaplains were obi iged to continue the celebration of marriages, &c. What has become of tho registers they kept I have been unable to ascertain.

In answer to inquiries, the Bishop of Qaeboc has promised to make an investiga- tion amotig the papers belonging to the Anglican Cathedral there, and Mr. Fisot, Pro- thonotary of (iueboc, states that there are portions of tho Rogistors of the garrison obaplaias deposited iu his office, but none of tho naval chaplains. Any such records are, however, very imperfect. Since this was written the Bishop of Qaebeo has '' informed mo that only tho registers of incumbents are in the Cathedral. The Secre- tary of tho Society for tho Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts has written mo that tho missionaries sent out by the society after the conqudat, only transmitted tho* numbers but not the names of those baptised, married or buried whom they had ■ registered. In the Archives Report for 1882, attention was called to tho danger of the des- truction by fi of valuable"papers which cannot bo replaced. To the instances then adduced of the burning of public buildings has to be added that of tho Legislative Buildings at Quebec, in tho epring of this year, when a large portion of tho Library, and tho Records of the Legislative Assembly wore destroyed. Other original and unpublibhod papers are deposited at (iucboc, the loss of which would be irreparable. Of these it is only necessary, in tho meantime, to notice the " Rogistres de delibera- tions ot Jugements du Conseil Suporieuro de Quebec " extending from 1663 to 1760 which are in the Provincial Secretary's Office. There are papers in many of the national depositories of the greateat importance" to Canadian history. There are many in St. Petersburg, some of which are meo' tioned by Harrise in his " Bibliographic de la Nouvello France " ; others at Rome, others among the Spa'ush papers. Respecting these latter, I have been in corres pondence with Don Pascual do Gayangoz, tho 'distinguished Arabic scholar, who write- me as follows : — " Athen.?:itm CiiCB, Pall Mall, ITth October, 1883. " My Dear Sir, — I recollect very well having seen at Seville, where the paper- " relating to our Spanish Colonies aro now kept, diplomatic correspondence in whicl " frequent mention is made of Canada and Nouvelle France. The papers procea " from Simancas or from Madri 1, whence, at the dissolution of the old " Oonsejo de la- " Indias," they were sent to Seville in 1829. " I hear also that a mass of papers from Florida and Lousiana were sent to Cub:i " where, I have no doubt, something may be found to interest you. I may add, thai " tho Spanish Government has lately ordered that they should «' be sent to Seville " How soon the order mayfbe executed, so as to make them available for readers, i: *' another thing. " In the meanwhile, if on my return to Madrid, which will take place aftc: " Christmas, 1 can in any way supplement this scaftty notice, or forward your plan^ " in any way, I shall be most happy to help you in your researches.

JAYANGOZ." Since tho last iloport was published a valuable addition of printed works hag been mudo to tho Archives. Those are indispensable us tho working tools of those charged with the collection of historical documents, it being impossible to couducfc investigations successfully without them, as thoy must always bo at hand, and con- stantly ttocessiblo in tho Archives Rooms, not only to tho officials but to those engaged in historical investigations. I would beg to direct attention to tho want of anything like a complete sot of Canadian pamplets, and of pamplets on Canadian -ubjeets. It is most important that this want should be supplied. Gifts of private collecti >ns of this nature liavo boon made to local institutions, whore thoy are, to a certain extent, useful; but if the collection of works in the Archives Office at Ottawa is to become as oxtpu >ivo und useful as it ought to be, for practical purposes of research, it would require tho assistance of every one interested in tracing and preserving the history of the progress of the country, using the term " history of progress " in its most general sense. It is to bo hoped that all who can contribute to this object will do so. Pamphlets, which at the moment of publication may seom to be almost worthlossj ami scarcely deserving of preservation, may prove, in the course of years, to be of great value, in a historical point of view Many writings of an ephemeral nature are out of print; many have been printed only for private circulation. In the case of County histories, for instance, having a very limited circulation, they have almost entirely disappeared . Imperfect as many of them are, there is not one of thorn that does not contain information of sorvice, to at least the local historian, and it is desir- ous that all works of use to investigators of social progress, should be found in tho Archives Rooms. The British Museum has attained to its present extent, and its contents have become so valuable, in a literary and historical point of view, by a similar course to that to which I have taken the liberty of calling attention. The nucleus of the Museum was formed by the collection of Sir Hans Sloan, who bequeathed to it 50,000 volumes. With this and the Harleian collection, to which was added the Cottonian collection and the Eoyal collection, both of the latter being MSS, the British Museum may be said to have oi iginated in 1-753. Before the opening of the Museum, in 1759, George II. presented the old Eoyal Library, dating from the reign of Henry VII. When tho Library was opened, a Jewish gentleman, Solomon da Costa, sent a present of 180 volumes, of the choicest kind in Hebrew literature, which formed the foundation of the present extensive Hebrew Library in the Museum. These, Mr da Costa stated, wore sent as a token of gratitude for the protection and privileges that he enjoyed whilst living under the British Constitution. In 1763, George III pre- sented the Thomason collection of books and tracts, published in England between 1640 and 1662; it is of a most miscellaneous character, from a folio to a broadside, and has been of most essential service to historians of the time immediately preced- ing and during the Commoiiwoaith. That collection contains about 30,000 distinct publications, bound in 2,200 vpi'imes. The Reverend C. M. Cracherodo bequeathed 16 if 4,600 volumes in 1*799 ; the Lansdowno collotion o( AfSS (1,245 volamoa) came to tho Musoum in ISU'Z ; the Hirgravo, in 1813, the Barney, in 18 17; Sir Joseph Banks left 16,000 vuliiraes of natural hidtoiy, voyagca and travels and scientiflo workf, in 1820. The Royal library was transfen-od by Goorge IV., in 1823. It had been colloctod by George Ilf. during his long reign, and had, it is eatiraatod, coat His Maje.-ily £130,000 stg. It oonHistod of 65,250 volumes, besides a largo collection of pamphlets afterwuids bound, increasing tho collection to 84,000 volumoij. The Egor- ton MSS (2,568) were added in 1829, ajid the Arundel (550 volumes), in 1831. These are only examples of the miuiy contributions to tho Museum, still contiruiing, which have helped to make a collection so rich in every variety of literature, much of which could not have been soourod by any amount of money granted by Parlianient, many of tho private collections being unpurchasablo. If similar public spirit were shown here, there seems no reason to doubt, that in respect to Canadian litoratnre, tho col lection at Ottawa might be as complete as tho British Musou n has become in the- much ifloie OKtensivo field of tho literature of tho world. The more complete tho collection, the more neoessary becomes a full and accurate catalogue, and a comploio index to the works, according to authors, subjects, the names of individuals and places, tho dates of events, &c. Every exertion is being made lo have theso prepared on such a system as to be of the greatest possible use^ but the wjrk is one of time, and much deliberation has been necessary before doter- mining on the adoption of a permanent system. Acknowledgments of assistance in examining tho different methods of preparing catalogues are duo to M. Marshall, of tho Bibliothequo Rationale, of Paris; in London, to Mr. W. Hardy, Deputy- Keeper of Ilecord.s , and Mr. Alfred Kingston, of the Public Record Office ; to Mr. R. Garnett, and Mr. H. Kensington, of tho British Museum ; to Mr. W. H. Overall, of the Library of the Corporation of London, Guildhall ; to Mr. B. Vincent, of tho Royal Institution; •in Edinburgh, to Mr. Stair Agnow, Registrar-General, and Mr. T. Dixon, of Her Majesty's Register House. Dr. Frasor, the Deputy Keeper of Recoi'ds of Scotland, who has been mo!«t obliging in furnishing information, was unfortunjitoly absent dur- ing my visit to Edinburgh. Without entering into minute details, it may be said generally that there are two distinct systems to choose between. Of these, the British Museum may be taken as tho representative of tho ono, tho Bibliothequo Natioimle, of Paris, as the roprcsentativo of the other, tho nystom in the latter being tho ono gouorally folloived on this continent. In some respects, the practical working of tho two does not materially differ. In the Public Record Office, London, and the General Register House, Elijiburgh, tho iriystem is a very simple ono, tho documents deposiiod by the difierent Departments of State being arranged separately and in strictly chronological order, the same practice being followed in respect to Court Records. 17 To attempt to give a detailed statement of the syBtom adopte 1 by public lihrurios of a geno,:.l character, would entail a long and teoUnionl description. „nH„ito.i for* Eeport of tlu. nature.

I would again call the attention of the possessors of family and other papers which throw a light on the social, commercial, municipal or pohUcul history of th* country, to the importance of having these deposited among the Archive Voithor for present, or, whore the contents do not now admit of it, for futu.-o r.diuunoo If not BO preserved, there is little, if any, doubt that, in the oe of u cop.p -ralivoly short time ihcsu will bo destroyed, and a loss thus sustained which can scarcely bo estimated. ^j^y^ The details of the work which follow are divided into a synopsis of papers, none of which have yet been copied for deposit among the .^chi.es; a Hat of pap rs for comparison with those already copied; Mr. Marmette's I^cport, with details of work done in Pans; a selection of original letters and the catalogue of papers, manuscript and printed, contained in the Archives rooms, on the 31st December of this year The whole respectfully submitted.

Pope, Minister of Agriculture, &c., &c,, &c., Ottawa. on the I began Sib, — I have the honour to submit to you my Ecport historical researches which, according to your instructions, to make at Paris, last summer. I was in Franco, whfn, in tho course of the month of June, I received a letter from Mr. Lowe, the Secretary of your Department, informing me that I was attached to the Archives' Branch thereof, and that it w.is my duty to hold myself in readiness to act in concert with Mr. Bryraner, the Archivist. While expecting that gentle- man's arrival at Paris, I began to place myself in relation with several distinguished functionaries, who were in a position to facilitate my researches in the Government Departments and public Libraries. I was already, for several months, in constant communi- cation with M. Avalle, the head of one of the branches of the Marino Department, and Mr. Berthall, one of the Directors of the National Library, both gentlemen being devoted friends of Canada. Some months jireviously, I had the advantage of making the acquaintance of M. A V lUe, at tho time when he was publishing a very remarkable ^tady (>ti Canada, in the Bevue Maritime of January and February 18'3 Thacks to the kindness always shewn me by M. Avalle, when iMr. Brjmner came to Paris, we wont, at once, to be presented at the Department of Marine, where we were most courteously received. JS'evertheless, I had no idea of commencing my researches at tbo A I'chives of that Department, for we possess at tho Library oi Pai-- liament the greater part of the manuscripts of this Department ■which concern our history, copied under tho direction of M. Fari- bault, in 1862. The sanie must be said of the Ministry of War, which was largely drawn upon by Mr. Faribault. 117 oui-selves at the ^inLry of Fore5^\'??^ "' ^f'"' ""^ i°tr«j... i. • "i*". ."-^ "/ 118 of tho Mississippi by D'Iberville ; a curious account of the travels and adventures of Mathieu Sagean, born at the villat;e of Lachine, written about 1700 ; and finally, a fascinatine: narrative ot a voyage to Chili by DoBeauchosno. I must not fail to direct tho attention of our linpuists to several manuscript works on certain Indian dialects of North America, amongst others, an Algonquin grammar com- ])OSied in 1074 by Louis Nicholas, Missionary Priest; a French Algon- quir) voeabularj', a small dictionary of the language of the Iroquois of the Agnier Nation, in tho handwriting of M. de la Galissonniore ; and, to come to an end, the Kudimonts of the Mic-mac language. As to the accuracy with which copies of those several raanu- fcripts ought to be made, it is my duty to represent to you, Sir, that it id absolutely necessary that tho copying be controlled and tho copiosi most carefully collated, by a competent person, with the original documents. For, if tho copyists were left to themselves, wo could only expect to have defective repi'oductions of historical documente, on the scrapulcns correctness of which, tho historian must rely, in order to find in our Archives, a faultless expression of tho primitive textp.

My Dear Taylor, — Although I have kept my letters to you free from poli- tics, I should not like you to be altogether ignorant of the nature of the scone in which we are acting, and now, on the eve of the Assembly's meeting, I propose to fiend you as good a tableau as I can yet present, of this community. Whether or not it be correct, at least it has not been imbibed from any single source, nor adopted ready-made, but is the honest result of very general and diligent inquiries. People have been accustomed, in England, to hear of only two parties in Canada, the English and the French, bat there are in fact throe parties, the Official, the English and the French, besides some important French classes altogether distinct from the party which goes by that tiurno. The Official — or as the l^'rench terra it, Bureaucratic party — is composed of a few old men, holding the highest offices. They seem to be fond of privilege, jealous of interference, and ready to take offence at any inquiry into the popular allegations. Moat of them are dull, and those who are the reverse, are said to be interested. It is of veiy little consequence what they are. Whatever influence they may have formerly oxerciged, through the imtruraentality of weak Governors, they are now destitute of any of the real elements of power, having neither connections at home, nor weight ia the Province. I take pleasure in stating this broadly, because once, from a quarter whence trifling objections too often r- ^me, my ears were shocked, on board of ship, with some talk o£,danger from these men. *• They would write to their friends in England, they would give their own version of thing.-", and would raise a clamour against the Com- mission, if they wore annoyed." Wliy, if their friends numbered legions, I should trust that no mission, cent on such an errand as ours, could shrink from exposing any abuses that might bo detected amongst them, but the truth is,"that it tbore bo a body in the world which may, without fear, be handled'according to its merits (who would wish more?) that body is the high oflicial party in Canada. In the Province itself it is very ditliMilt to say by which of the great divisions of the pcojilo it is ■disliked the most. Very dilierent from this feeble Corps, is the rcul " English party." It is coin- posed of almost all the Merchant-t, with an admixture of considerable I;andholdor-<, and of some of the younger and more intolligont Civil Ofiiccrs, It possesses mnch iiitolli- gODce, much wealth and still more credit, and in addition to these, it has all that mutual confidcnco, and that proci^don and miily of purpose, which, to do our country- men justice, they know bettor than any other people how to confer on political asso- ciations. This impo--ing Jjody, moreover, has groat advantage at the present moment in the moderation of tone which it can a.-sumo in contrast to the violence of its adver- parics, thus gaining the goodwill, if rot the overt support, of that nunriorous portion of Society which prefers sccuril3'--and a tranquil life to everything else. Yet I do not liko the English party. It is fully, as ambitious of dominion as the French party, and, in my opiriion, prepared to seek it hy more unscrupulous means. Whi'iiovcr cither of the two, at the present moment, t^pcaks of separation, i look upon it as mere bombast, or artifice to bend the course of Government, but depend upon it that if tarily, and with power t-. set him aside at pleasure. These ideas may be agreeable saive to people's self-love. The real explanation of the case, I fear, is, that the Cana- dians want nerve and enterprise in public things, and that just as they used to follow the lead of three or four Englishmen, so now the impetuosity and oratorical talent, of Papineau command from them an unqualified submission. Ho is, in truth their Master. Their natures crave for support, and they will always seek it in characters more vigorous than their own. I never saw any one who seemed batter versed than the Canadian Speaker, in the arts and demeanour by which one man wields dominion over tho minds of many, and he is daily becoming more confirmed in his sway, as they are in their obedience. Such is the man that a few of his followers have the pre- sumption to suppose that thoy can set aside, when no longer serviceable. It is just as likely that all your sheep in England will rise up and address the sheep-dogs, and say: '• While we wanted you it was well, but there are no more wolves, and wo will take care of ourselves and dispon so with your canine guardian- ship." One look from Pa;»iueau's eye would quoii nis whole Canadian flock. The truth is, that Papineau, with all his faults, is rathor a fi-io frtiio^, T dare say we shall tind him perversa and suspicious, and that if ever he quarrels' with us he will bo coansoly abusive. Still tho good points of his character are not to be U a~ll ;liii| 162 denied. He Beems to be irreproachable in bis private life ; in social interconrso he is n)ild and gentlemanlike; and if, in politicB, he in loo hot and unmeasured in bis prccecdingB, I do not find that reaBonable men accuHO him of being diHboneBt. His principal faults are violence, a want of the plainer sort of sense, and, I Jear, an invet- erate prejudice against the English. Whatever else he be, it is impossible to sot eyes on him, and cot perceive that he is ly nature, as much as by the station he has won for himself, the first of the French Canadian race. Independently, however, of temporary causes, and the influence of ambitious men, there appears to me to be a deeper motive calculated to bind the French party together, and give a general direction to their Policy. They can hardly fail to see that the English have possessed themselves of the whole wealth ar.d power of every Country in which they have acquiied a footing. In all parts of ilie world, civilized or savage, whether as British subjects in the East or as revolttd Colonists on this Continent, there has shown iUelf in the English people the same imfossibilily of amalgamation with others, the same necessity of gaining the upper hai.d themselves. This,]it must be admitted, ctin form no pleasing topic of consideration ioi the mild andunoontentious race who find themselves here, imbedded in the midt-t oi growing Settlements and Nations of EngJishmen. Whatever political power they ms y lor the moment possess within the limits of their own Province, even there their moie active riv ^s have hold of all the Commerce of the Country, and beyond the ai tificial boundaries which distinguish theirs from adjacent regions, they we surrounded on all sides by Millions using the language and the customs of which they have so much reason to drsjid the ascendancy. Looking to the circumstances, I cannot think that the French < aafidians would be very unreasonable to dread some ftiture extinction of their own tongue and peculiar habits, and whether or not any of tbem extend their views so far, it is not to be doubted that some amongst them fear a lapse into insignificance. In fact the real question between the parties in this Country, is a question of time. The French cannot in their hearts be ignorant that they have a full measure of power at this moment, but they Fee it continually inclined, as it were, to pass into the grasp of others, and so they are restless and jealous. The English, on the other band, must be confident that the dominion of the Country will eventually centre in their race ; but they are impatient and wish to seize the prize before it ie legitimately theirs. Both parties are at present in their proper places. Each, however, is striv- ing, one 1o precipitate, — the other to avert, or at any rate [postpone, a transition which will eventually be the proper effect of the Institutions of the Province. In the meanwhile collateral objects will arise in the course of the struggle, and results will be valued by the contending parties, not merely an Ibey may advance their own cuuse, but as they may injure or humiliate their adversaries. The Government will not be esteemed according to its independent merits or its courageous impartiality ; it will be judgtd by the extent to which its views may fall in with the purposes of one or other of the Factions. Lord Aylmer's Administration was, at the outset, the ridicule and scoiri of the Constitutionalists (as they are now misnamed) ; yet, when the fracticusnesH of the French drove Loid Aylmer from that class, the English received him with open aims, and I myself saw them following him to the Beach with their acclammations, and their praises, and almost their tears. After this review of the composition and motives of the parties into which this Countiy is divided, it may seem natural that I should draw some practical conclu- sions from the whole. I have ahesdy said that, if separation were the object to be feared, I should look upon the party which is continually clamouring for British Laws and British Connection as by Tar the most likely to revolt, liut dismissing the idea of separation (as I think you safely may), and considering otir difficulties as mere diflQculties of adminisiraticn from day to day, the French party, as being pos- sessed of the Eepresentative Instiluu'ons of theCountry,is obv]\?!.S)j,the most formid- able, and the one of which the favour is most necessary to tro conduct of Public affairs. ;. ^•- ■ Turning from these considerations of immediate convenience lo higher and more permanent objects, I will not deny that, while I dissent from liieir inferences, 163 iterconrso he isured in his boneBt. His 3ar, aa invet- le to sot oyes 1 he has won of ambitious French party selves of the ed a footing. H in the East nglish people ty of gaining asing topic of ere, imbedded ever political rovinoe, even Country, and regions, they oms of ■which ircumstances, dread eome or not any of gst them fear a question of t full measure i, to pass into , on the other ally centre in e legitimately ever, is striv- a transition 7ince. Tn the d results will ice their own ^ernment will impartiality ; le purposes of he outset, the I) ; yet, when s, the English to the Beach to which this ctical conclu- 3 object to be g for British int ditmisfing ' diflBculties as as being pos- j most fbrmid- luct of Public ^■^ ■■ J higher and eir inferences, I fee much weight in the facts on which the English rea-^on. Although thev can seldom prove that the French act unconstitutionally, they often show that they use the Constitution unwisely. It is not unconstitutional for instance, that a great co-oidmate branch of Parliament, entrusted moreover with ibe special custody of th& public purte, should state the amount of its contingent expenses broadly, and refuse to submit to any canvassirg of the details by the other portions of the Legislature ; at the same time it is lamentable that, by almost general confession, this privilege is likely to be made the means of bestowing excessive salaries on the partisans ot the majority of the Assembly, and perhaps of defraying the disbursements of unauthor- ized tommittees of correspondence and voluntary congregatior s of Members out of eeaeion. The proper remedy for this would be the indignation and resentment of the people, and It is no doubt to be regretted, in common with the English party, that, lor political purposes, there is scarce such a thing as a people in Lower Canada. Just aw with regard to the contingencies, so also with regard to the vast influence of individuals who can command thoui?and,s of votes and Sionatukes (if 1 may bo allowed the term) at pleasure. I dissent from the English as to its being urconstitutional, but 1 tigreo with them so far as to think it an anxious thing to try the working of the iritith Constitution in a Country where there is no public opinion, and hardly spirit enough m the poseeesors of repr scntative power to quarrel amongst ihomselvos. «nd h)i m some tort of a mutual cl. eck. Having thus stated the fullest extent t« which I can concur in the views of the JLnghbh paity. 1 will add, without a moment's hof-itation, that I do not see sufficient reason to follow those views to their only legitimate conclusion (they lead to no other),— vi^. : to deprive tha Lower Canadians of the free exercise of their Conbtitu- ticn. let. There is the obvious objection of the odium and possible danger of the attcmj t;— 2ndly. To leave this humblest class of objection, for one of principle and feeling, I would shrink, until the last necessity, from mulcting a people of institu- tions calculated to develop their energies and intellect. This necessity is not nearly arrived in Lower Canada. On tht contrary I see no cause whatever to despair of the i'lcnch Canadians learning to wield their privileges discreetly. It is but recently that they have come to know and feel their powers, and already the most experienced men m the country admit that there are dawnings of improvement. 1 have extorted this admission from more than one Member of the miscalled " Constitutional Associa- tion. The events of the last two years will have done much to educate the French Canadians in politics. If you could see the gloom which has been hanging over this city the shame to private families, the difficulty to honest tradesmen, tho want of employment for the operatives ;— if, after your ears were filled with complaints here, you could go (as I have done) into the country, and at distances of 10 and 20 miles, iind the peasants deploring the loss of their usual market in the Capital ; yoa would see that the Assembly, by its deniai of all public money, has made an experiment on the patience of the people which it cannot be rash enough lightly to repeat. Wher- ever I have been, I have taken care, with expressions of profound submission, to ex- plain to the good folks that it was not the Government which withheld, but the Assembly which refused, the ordinary expenditure of the place, and I was happy to iind the " Habitans" tolerably enlightened on the subject, i he leading men, you may be sure, have opened their own eyes to the risk of a re-action ; and this is the secret ol the compliments they begin to pour forth to our conciliatory qualities. lam gJad of It, for I would rather they were brought back to moderate conduct by their own discernment of its necessity, than by any paltry arts of ours. Like boys for the hrst time entiusted with agnn, they could not resist the delight, mimrled with trepida- tion, of discharging it; but having once experienced the shock and the effects, they will reserve the fire another time for the pressure of some real necessity. This then is the sum of my creed ;— -that to conciliate the French Canadians, and train them up in the arts of Government, is the safest and most convenient policy lor the present, and likewise the one most conducive to solid and lasting advantages ucrcuftor ; but that the experiment is likely to be obstructed by perversity and selfish- ness on vaiious sideS) and that in the melee, some of us who are now employed in 14 a — llj Hi III *%■; v'l , m 164 Canuda, may chance to Iobo our reputations. So let it be. I may with tho most per- loot truth (ivclaro, that from the moment I found I really had gained admittntiuo into IhiB great tield, 1 whistled all perHonal thoughts to the wind, and hithorto, tho more tiio htorm hoB threatened, aa the Seesion draws near, and tho greater the rumours of alarm, the more my spirits have risen. It was to encounter this we came here, and things muMt go very hard indeed before I part with ray peace of mind. With this comfortable sentiment, I had bettor prepare to conclude so long a disqv'siiion. I hnd thougut of saying something of the Catholic Clergy, and the owners ol Seigncuries, among whom 1 have made several acquaintance; but time is wanting, and your patience doubtful. And as it ia as well that a letter Hhouli bo either one thing or another, I will not, on this occasion, enter inta private matters, further than to say that my wife and 1 are well, and living on go id terms with vari- ous Members of every class I have above passed in review. I know some of tho Constitutionalists well enough to vex them by saying, that if they would take the really appropriate title of An^t-Constitutionalists, and avow their opinion that the Britihh System was unsuited to this Pi-ovince, there would be much more coherency in their rca^-^niniis, and more difficulty (tho' fur from insuperable) in answering them. On me other hand, some of the Quebec Members, to whom 1 have alluded, are on terms with us, approaching to real friendship, and lately had a project to take Jane and me on a tour thro' the District, stopping every night at the House of some friend or relation, bat the weather was provoking enough to defeat the plan. If we had made that expedition, we would have seen more of the intimate life of the French -Canadians, than one English family in a thousand does. In short, we feel no lack of novelty, either of acquaintance or scenes; and in spite of business or political crosses, a mau must manage ill, who could not spend a year or two at Quebec very pleasantly. Ever yours sincerely, T. Fkbdk. Elliot. NOTE A 2. MB. ELLIOT TO MB. TATLOB. QoBBEo, 12th Nov., 1835. My Deab Taylor, — As a Sequel to the long Dissertation which I sent j oa last month on the public affairs of this place, I must write to tell yon that our Sessioh has opened with some success and eclat. The speech was made vary long for two reasons, Ist not to disappoint an expectation, which prevailed, of something unusual at this crisis ; 2ndly to preclude any inconvenient application for a disclosure of the letter of the Instructions, by liberally communirating the spirit of them in tho first instance. As a composition, the speech seems to me by no mean;^ ree from faults, which, were it an exercise for young gentlemen at their studies, it might be worth while to point out ; but seeing that we are grown men, and our main object, not rhetoric but Good Humour and supplies, I cannot think that the speech was ill adapted to its purpose. .At any rate it has had the merit of success. It has been highly lauded, and the En- glish party, tho' sadly annoyed at one of the measures which it announced, have taken the rest in much better part than I expected. The answer of thoAHeorably is the ablest paper I have ever seen issued from that Body, it so happily accomplishes the purpose, which I knew from the principal members that they entertained, of adhering to their former Declaration's on matters of general principle, and at the same time conveying that spirit of good will towards the now Governor which unquestionably prevails at this moment throughout the Assembly. If I can procure them, 1 will enclose copies of the Speech and the Reply.

Lord Aylmor's Aiiminiatmtion was, I grieve to say, onwino in this re >eot during the latter pen »d of hi« Govt. Hid apj)olnlmentB and reoommendations within the last tweh'e monthri were urpai'duiatle, and there are eomo of his des- patches on thone points which I can Houiue road virith patience, now that 1 ander- «tand the real oharflctors of the Individnals. The train is that, though amiable and well-moaning, he became blinded b)r prejudice at the end of his administratioD, and uever was there a measure more indispeuaable than bis removal. N'ou know that -about a year ago I thought differently, and on that very account I now make the admiHHlon more emphMtieally. In what I have said of the friendliness and judgment of some of the French Canadians, you must not 8uppo< ' a " include thom all. Papineau's bias against England and Englishmen is ktiO'.?D, and I sliil continue to fear that, whatever may ' o the intelligence of others, they will not {Kis^ess amongst them eloquence and nervo enough materially to control the excesses of that ener- ji^etic man. Yet the moderate people certainly have gained Homo advantages this Session. The mere prooeoding to buainesH is in itself a triumph, for Papineau avow- <.'dly wished to refuse to have a Session until the demands of tho people for an Elective Oouncil were conceded. The subdued and tolerant tone of the answer to the Gover- nor's Speech is also a token of respect for the views of the temperate part of the Assembly. There is daily becoming apparent a more marked opposition of views lietween the Members for the District of Quebec and those from thj District of Montreal ; and I only hope that the separation may not be precipitated, for the Quebec Represontotives have much more power, while their Oolleaguos hope to rotaiu the appearance of ther support, than they could have as a declared Minority acting in open opposition to the rest of the House. All I dislike in their former plan of notion was their unqualified and silent s^bmitsion to the Majority; to keep mea^iui-ett with it is no more than polititj. One of the first Members of the pf^ipular party in the House of Assembly said to me a short time ago: " It would Ikj aflFoctation not to look to the probability that " sooner or later this Province must fall olT from the Mother-Country, tho' not, I " hope, in our generation. None of ns think the time near at hand, but some prefer "th:- mcasn-cs which tend to postpone it, others those which seem likely to accele- " rate it. Mr. Papineau isono of tho latter class, I belong to the former." He then proceeded to assont to tho following opinions, which 1 have found to receive a tolerat./ ready acceptance among tho most intelligent of the French Canadians; that the English Constitution confers nj)on the Assembly as great power as it has any reason to desire ; that whether or not a Canadian have a predilection for flo- publican Institutions, he ought to see that the biT^t preparation for them would be a schooling in the exercise of the privileges of Englishmen ; that in their present state of political brtckwardness tho Canadians could not be thrown off from En;^land with- out becoming merged in the Mass of their neighbours, but that, enlightened hy a long use of tho powers secured to thom while thoy are kept within their artificial limits as a British Colony, they may at some future time be capable of sustaining a separate oxiHtence of their own.

NOTE B. A. K. MORIN TO HON. rRANOIS HIXCKH. QuBU£c, 8th May, 1841. DkabSiu, — I mui«t Bolidt your indulgcnco, uud expicsa to you my sincere regret for rot having; I ten able to uriHWcr KOunor your very important lotterH to rao anJ to our luutuul Iriciid Mr. Lal'ontaine, who boH f>ent them to mo under the pretence, unl'our.ded, accoidin^ to me, that being out of the Uouso of Aseembly, ho was not to 1m conBideHd an a leadtr of it. But to my own dolayn, which have been far from coiniDg of a want of perBoual i eopeot and friendnhip for you, or of a want of sympathy and united letlings on the t-ubjcct of our common aftuirf, Bovernl circumstancoB have retarded me: first, my health which baa been bad for somo time; secondly, my dif. fidence at atlcniptirg lo write the Englinh language, and lastly, more than all the rest, a belief that I ought not to take the lead when older and abler politicians hold «]r..&dy the vost of chiffs in this part of tho I'roviiico ; the fact is that I was afraid of iniHrcpreftenting the opinions of others, and almost did boliovo that I was alone in my way of tbinkii g, ard that unless I should modify it, I was not to consider myself aa reprebcnting the general opinion here. However, the time drawing near when I must arfcwer jou, and having seen a good deal, and conveiscd with many of the members and olhci Libeinie, I must ul all events lot you know my view oi our present position, and ulihough I beg to be considered aa speaking for myself only, I will venture to bay that u large portion of our members would agree with mo. To resume the whole details in a ft w words, I am against the Union ai d against its main features, as I think evoi y honest Lower Canadian should bo. i:ut I am not for violence or haste. Ido not expect a diiectrepcal, at lea^t for a time, and thercluro I do not wish to take a hohtilo position and embarrass Government on account of tho Union. I want to con\irico tho authorities of their error, and give them tho nece^sary time to repair it As to firm though moderate declarations and protehtations, wo would be unworthy of those whe)m wo repi o^ent if we did not make them. Wo cannot sacrifice or oompro- miho their et-fcential rights; we even hope that a liberal majority will bo with us to aesert them. But I am not for entering into colliKion with tho other branches em any account if posnble, nor for stopping the march of affairf, an some may have fancied. We must hay what defects are to be remedied, and until that remedy comes or is denied, do our beht to incpiio to the Colonial Government those liberal and popular principles and policy which would tei.d in their application to secure tho liberties and welfaie of all. If I am reluctantly bound to oppobc, I will not do it systtmatic- ally. I am for peace, union, and harmony, if they can be obtained. I still longed for tboBO blcKbingH when I resolved to re enter public life. 1 would retire soon into Eiiyuey if we weie lorg to bo without them. I will go further, and say without _ esitation that I would coidially support a Government whose labe)urs would tend to impj^rt them justly and honestly. Much is to be done, of coarse, or rather undone, to convince me that such is tho aim of Government, when for years no other plans have been advanetd in thet)jy and put in i)ractico but tho.:e which were lor the destruction and prostration of my countrymen. But, dear Sir, if justice can still bo had, lot us have justice, and help those who will offer it to up, those who are or may bo ready to govern accoidirg to a free expression of the people's wishes and feelings. You may B convinced that I have no wish to quarrel with the present Governor or any other one. I hope that in all my life I will be, as I think I have been, ami still moro than over if I can, above individual quarrels and considerations. Before the details of the Union were known, and before that law had receive-l its osecution, 1 sometimoii im- agined that I misrht bo instrumental, in c^n an humble dejjfrec, in recDUciling f'e Government sa.d tho peojile. It was my o.ily aim, and an I had the honour to men- tion t^ Lord Sydenham, the only time I have conversed with him, I would not think it worth while for me to meddle in public affairs any longer, if I bad not a hope of seeing that harmony sub-ist in the end. I may err, and I very often err, but to attain that end 1 would devote with pleasure some more years of my most fervent „.,,.„,,.j ,, , vuinit ij-j ui.L-<.:^nt. t.^.' the uciici mat uur uACriiuus vvouiu 00 Uboiui to our ^llow citizens, and our a i vice bo heard in the high quarters. in ', 1841. icore regret > mo aiiJ to e protenco, I WOH not to :n far from f Bympathy taricoH have Jly, mv dif. ban all the licianH hold UH afraid of ilone in my V myHolf as oar when I any of the our prcHont nly, I will To resume lin features, ceor huHte. ot wish to )n.

I hope you havo no fear of misunder^ ■landings between you and an. For ray part I havo none. The following oxplana- tlonH Hnd detailH will, I hope, convinco you that the Refi-rmors of both PiovincoH mual «nd will act together, although circumstances peculiar to each late Provinoo put them reBpectlvoly in a different position. Your letters are frank, comprehonsivo, and to mo, satisfactory. They havo f)oen considered ho by every one of the few friends to whom I havo comraunicaiod them, and as to those to whom I could not give a full knowledge of them, I have had indirect moans to be Hatisflcd that their general views aro concurred in. Some times ttero is a division in words and denominations, as there may bo between you and Mr. Ncilson here, when no pi-actical discrepancy exists. You muHt not, therefore, be alarmed at some exproHnions in newspapers, or in spoocheM, from any one or two of our public men. And even those exproHsions, in the mind of Mr. Aylwin and Mr. Noilson, of whom you think yon havo to complain, do not apply to you, I am quite certain, but only to some of those whom you admit yousolf, to bo diHincdned in yomo points to do justice to Lower (Janada. :Not that I approve of anything which may tord to irritate or disunite, but when I seo such prospects of good understrtnding and mutual confidence, I look eagerly to them. You havo seen how the idea of mnking tho Repfil aainequn non question, and of the members abhtaining from nilting until then, which w«h entertained in the Aurore, wan combatted by the Camdien. Not two, or perhaps not one, of the Quebec members, would be for the line of policy recom- mended in those articles of the Aurore; as to tho Montreal members, I would bo very much surprised if they thought otherwise than wo do. I thought tlitu on thin hubject, Parent's article of the 9lh April would allay all uneasinoss. This last article has, no doubt, mot your views. Hero, everyone continues to havo the greatest confidonco in you and the Keformora of Upper Canada, and to bo thankful to you j)cr8oi!!illy, a» editor, for your defence of the Canadian character and ri^rhts. As to parties in tho now Hou?e, there may be probably, five shades or divisions, three with you and two with us. Ist. Upper Canada Liberals and Roformors, decided to act honestly and inde- pendently, and advocating popular and rospont^iblo Government. 2nd. Upper Canada Tories or Consorvativee, independent from Government, rather opposed to it at this moment. 3rd, Officials in Upper Canada, whether Tories or Reformers, by namo, tied or predisposed to vote on all matters as if they were directly responsible to iho pre- sent Executive. 4th. Reformers of all grades from Lower Canada, who for tho past havo advocated liberal and popular measures, representing generally, French constituencies!, oj.posed to the Union, but friendly to tho Upper Canada Reformers and to responsible govern raont. 5th. Officials from Lower Canada, other rcprescntativcH of tho self culled JJiitieb 1 arty, and other members at Montreal, elected moro or less by violence. Now, in my opinion, the most natural alliance is lolweei) numbers 1 8nd 4, although some of you approve of tho Union, on account of tho advantngos it gives to Upper Canada, while wo oppose it, because none of its provisions are just or beneficial towards us. But natural justice on tho ono part, and common ideas and interest on the other, will bring an understanding, oven on this most (ielicato point.' Numbers 3 and 6 will, from tho beginning, act together also. Number 2 may join cither. There is a belief here among eomo, perhaps from not knowing tho pnst divisions and recent strifes in Upper Canada, that tho party of Sir Allan McNub and Mr. Cartwright might unite with you and us, and agree upon identical plans of good government. Do you think that Union possible under the present circumstances, or likely to last, if it could take place ? 1 make no mention of the possibility of that party No. 2 joining with some of as to npset tho Union at once, and be at warfare nntil an' absolute repeal comes. J have already said I saw no prudence in that hnstilo stand. lu that case we T;owor Canada Reformers, would be divided amongst ourselves, a circumstance which Ir 170 would deploio bitterly, but which I do not apprehend. The necessity of a permanon t alliance hhoald bring towards you those of us who might be inclined to act too decid- edly, and the same reason should also bring unto us the less decided portion of voa above. ^ Should we, in the beginning, in claiming our rights aa Canadians and as Britiah subjects, be abandoned by you and helped by the Conservatives, that circumstance would be more painful to rao than I could express. It would, no doubt, lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Still, after that, and here I speak for myself and from my own convictions and firm principles on Government matters, I would join you atid act with you on general affairs, unless I lett the field altotrether, oat ot discouragement, I know in this declaration I am going very far. Many would prefer the O'Connelltail-syatem, and to unite with one party or the other as momcncfuy alliance or expediency may suggest. This I am unable to do. I have no cunnuig, no i?.triguo ond, perhaps, no discernment; and I crave only forwardness and honesty. Therefore, it tbe friends do not befriend me, I will leave the Party, and >ot befriend anotner camp. You see my oincority, and I can hardly go beyond that. But from the contents of your letters, there is little danger of our being thus placed. It is in that case that 1 would regret my election, when so many of my best friends, whom I could cons'Mt are not lu be in the Housp , Lafontaine, Leslie, Girouard and Huot, will be much ^yantlng. Eoom may bo madefc.r the two first here below, if there are no near elec- tions for lorrobonueand Montreal, under better protection. As to the two latter gentlemen, I am sorry that they have declined from the beginning. P«st disputes on the subject of responsible government, as exemplified in a Pro- vincial llisecuti?e Council, have created a chasm between you and Mr. Nwilson. Now it IS very difficult to guess what he will or will not do, but when you treat with him person:.: y, yon. will find him very accommodating. I am sure he is not for violence and for creating difficulties. His opposition to the Union, and bis labours as Presi- dent 01 iha Quebec Committee, have given him an immense influence. If we were to support a Government ready to do justice to Lower Canada, and he were to oppose it we could not go on easily. However, rothing of the kind is to be feared. We had some jears in the beginning ; now we are convinced of his pacific dispositions. Bat again, ho is the leod/^r, and not I or any ther one. ' You ra'ist not be surprised if we are opposed to the Union, and even if our elec- tions havo i.iai>^ly turned upon that point. Marked with so many defects in its de- tails, the -noasute \n principle bus been advocated both in England and here as the smest means of destroying the political rights and social institutions of half a million ol people. No o'ih^v pnndj>le but that one can be squeezed out of it. The few con- stituiional advantages it seoms to confer on Lower Canada, comparatively with the Jato temporary Govei\..aent, are oflbnsively curtailed, and in every respect the whole ot it 16 injurious to us. As to Upper Canada, with the exception of the debt, which 1 confers 18 a great boon, it diminiBhes the public liberties, and we have all been told to rest satisfied with that, content or not. It reduces the legislative functions of the Assemoly to the power of voting, uow taxes, but without power to control the pro- ceefis, or apply them, except when over abo-t £150.000 yearly, and with the strange anoDiuly ot the Til-ocutive branch having the initiative. But another thing is to be dissatisfied with the Union, and another thing to b» dispo.jied to break everything on account of it. I am convinced that the late Act wou 1(1 n .f bo J iii'r;odiately repealed, and that if it was, it would be orly for worse. It 18 a wehktjown tact that it has been passed in opposition to the well-known wishes ot Lower Canada. Bent on injustice, as aro presently towa-ds us the metropolitan auti^ioriiic.', trom lack of duty, or from misapplied national prejudice, it is only witli time, and with the help of honest and liberal men amongst you, that wo can instil better feelings in the hearts of our rulers. Lot us try so to do, find in the meantime let Upper and Lower Canadians know and appreciate eachothor better, and cement a union which, at all events, will be profiuble to both; it is true tliat if we -lave not a Kajority for gooot le contents it case that lid coDsrlt, II be much ) near elec- two latter d in a Pro- ion. Now, t with him or violence rs as Presi- no were to > oppose it, . We had ions. Bat f our elec- s in its de- lere as tho i' a million 3 few con- ' with tho . the whole ebt, which 1 been told ions of the >1 tho pro- he strange hing to be B late Act worse. It wu wishes )tropoli«^an it is only it wo can Uid in the jotter, and that if wo under the scourge of ordinances passed permanent by the late special Council, but if the same body had la^;tcd, somo more ordinances might have heaped the system now in operation. Wo do not wish to make the Speakership a plitical question. Ifyou think it just that .■> member Hpeaking both languages should have the honour, I would men- tion Mr. Vigtr Mr. Cuvillier, Mr. Quosnol, Mr. Noilson. The one who suits you best would, no doubt, be auceptablo here ; as to offering, it has never been done, and how- ever proper in its terms the circular of Sir Allan McNab was, it has appeared to ns something Htrange. Ifyou do not, any more than us, make a political question of the matter, and if you wi.sh to have a member from Upper Canada, I think Sir Allan or Mr, Merritt would have a chance. Why has not Mr. Viger'a name been men- tioned ? He will certainly be the most learned member in historical, political and par- hamentary knowledge, and hi.s whole life has been devoted to tho popular cause. If vou prefer Mr. Cuvillier, his nomination would likely be welcome. We have had very little opportunity of late to know his opinions, but 1 have no doubt he is independent and liberal. Mr. Lafontaine was the proper choice to be made ; he has been out-seated in a^ bush at the furthermost extremity of a county, with a }wpulation of 20U Tories and 20,000 Liberal:*. Under the present circumstances, Mr. Baldwin, who otherwise would have met our choice, could hardly be proposed. But we have great confidence in him, and so has Mr. Neilson. My name has been mentioned in Lafontaine's letters, and in yours. I must not play the hypocrite, and will speak at once on the subject. . Setting aside tho arduousness of the task, there would be many more aged and more able members to whom an injustice would bo made if any junior member was pro- posed. Those members and their friends would consider it invidious. I think, therefore, that even if I were abio to keep tho balance and concile so manj- conflicting parties as there will be in the House, 1 should be out of the question. I had novop believed that 1 would bo thought of. I must be on the floor, where I will try to vie with my colleagues in zeal, independence and sincerity. I know prospects are not encouraging, and many think that it is better for Lower Canada, in lb > pre>ent time, to abstain altogether from politics, until justice is done to us. I am sometimes my- self ditcouraged, but I hope to be able to bring on that justice, as one of many, if we can bo understood, aa I have no doubt wo will. Our Quebec people intend to be at Kingston u few days beforehand ; so the Montrealers will bo invited to do. Some hoars of personal int< rcourse will do much more than a long written correspondence. You see at once, no doubt, that the annihilation of Lower Canada as it has up to this time e^i-ted, is a favourite project. Tho Tories of Montreal, therofo-c have realized all thoir dreams, anJ they cannot be said to have been kept down, they Lave all power upon our lives, property, rights, interests and feelings oven, and that without any successful appeal. And encouraged as they are, they go in overy instance much bo} >nd what tho authorities might have oven supposed. But Lower Canada, as a con, .lunity of Britinh-born citizens, has been transtoired to that party, styling themselves exclusively British. We are told every day that such a system is to b« mainlair.od, and we bo deprived of our rights and existence by all means, lawful or not. Will you accede to that? An enlightened regard is to be had for Lower Canada, that is to f^«-' 87"^' furthiirocea..ion to discus: ion' aS explanation. ^ ha, I ^.-.y 1 say ,n good faith.

And in November, 1685, the peticioners renewed thfir complaints by an humble peticon to Tour Majesty setting forth they had then received fresh intelligence that ye French had, in an open hostile manner, in the time of peace and good correspon- dence of the two Crowues, f-eized within Hudsons Streightsone of yo Peticontrs ships commanded by one Edward Humep,and carryed her, with allher ladeiug and severall of your Majefclye subjects upon her, prisoners to Quebeck.

This we are humbly of opinion they mW not deny because they never made any claime nor visited it, till the last summer, when they destroyed His Maty's subjects there by surprise, even at the instant when a Treaty was on foot for a good Corres- pondence and a perpotuall peace botweene ye two Crownes. And this we hope your Lordshiiis will agree to be essentially necessary to the welfare of the Company that it would be very imprudent (if our servt"'. could live there without a supply of Pi*o- visjons Irom England) to send any ships thiih';r without the said Mandate : as well be- cause the FriMiih there have doubtlois roceivod the Publication of the lately Treaty for confirming tho possession!; tuoy had the sixth day of J^ovember last, and consequent- ly will treate our servants as eaemiei and seize our ships and effects as, heretofore as also for that wo shall find it very diffloult to engage hired ships and men to expose themselves to tho mercy of ye French (who have already treated his Majestys Bubjacts so ill) and when they carry nco force to oppose their violence.

En I'an 1612 le Chevalier Thomas Button, Anglois, fit un voyage dans les De- troits et dans la Baye nusdite et prit possession de diverses places (et particuliero- ment do la Riviere "du Port Nelson et des Torres voisines au nom da Roy Jacques premier ot norama ladite Riviore et. lePort oii luy et sa Compagnie passdrent I'hyver Port Nelson du nom du Capitaine du vaisseau qui s'appeloit Nelson. En 1631 le capitaine Luc Fox fit un voyage a Hudson-Bay par ordre du Roy Charles premier et cntre plusiours lieux de la dite Baye ou il entra, il alia dans !a rivieio du PortNelson et trouvant la vne croix qui y avoit este plant^e par le Ohevalior Thomas Button, il la rolova et en renouvella Tinscription, declarant le Droit et la PosBossioii '^tio SaMajostey avoit et comma ensuite les Pays voisins do oetto Riviere, New-NoiUi-Wales.

En 1670 le Roy d6fnnt octroya une Cbartre aux dits interessez et en forma vne compagme lear donnant pouvoir et privilege de trafiquer (i rexclusion de tona autres; dans la dite Baye, l!>etroit8, TorroH, R.vieres et Hob, qui sent tant au dedans qu'aux environs do la Baye et des Detroits. w««o E- .^" ^?.^ur Oompagnie onvoya Charles Bayley on quality de Gouverneur de lear Factories ^tablies dans la dite Baye. avoc qui le Siaur de Frontenao Gouverneur de Canada, entretint vne bonue correspondence sans jamais se plaindre d'auoun dom- mage oa tort fait par la Compagnie ou par sos agents, soit en y ^tablissant son com- merco on en bfitiBsant des Forts au fond de la Baye, et en 167^, lodit Bayley envoy, un naviro appelle Employ au Port Nelson pour y nn, Bights lie manner tbe same, fajesty to vere then ily seized rstood by session as ire cannot ion of the lerein set belonging mpany of them to ir Messrs ^ Sritan- dson. t I'Ameri- I'fludson 97 par lo Jiiponse. morUl nomm* par los Espagnols qni touching „„ «-„„* II ' i 1 " Hudson's **" tirent in docouverte long- B»7. temps avant que les Anglois y eusHont estd. On voit par les Eolations que le dit Sebastion Cabot n'y a passd que par oc- casion comme les autree navigateurs en cherchant un passage du costd de I'Ouest pour allor aux Indes, ce sont dos faits connus par tons les navigateurs. Les Francois y ontesti en divers temps, raais on n'a jamais creu que cos voyages pus- sent i^crvir do Titre. Henry Hudson peut avoir navigu6 dans lo Detroit de la Bayo du Nord do Canada comme plusieurs autros ont fait, mais il est constant qu'il n'en prit point possession n'y ayant aucun acto qui en fasse mention ni aucun vestige d'6tablis- sement fait par les Anglais. Le droit qu'on voudroit prendre par les caites modernes ot sans aucun fon- demcnt, ces sortos d'ouvrages n'esfant point luit par ordre ni par la participa- tion dcs Souverains, ceux qui les compo- eent ne cherchent que la nouveauto pour en avoir un plus grand debit, et prennent les dcrnicres relations qu'ils trouvent sans h'inlbrmcr d'oii cllcs viennent. Si on veut admettro ces sortes de preuves, les Francois fcront voir par plu- sieurs Belations imprimeos d, Londres avec privilege que tons les Pais en ques- tion leur ont appartenu avant quo los Anglois les eussent connus et cela soul finiroit la contestation mais il mo semble qu'il (8t plus convenabio et qu'on con- naitra mieux lo Fond du Droit dos deux JNalions en examinant les titres qui se- ront produitB par lesdeux Compagniesde (ommerce, ceux do la Compagni'j Fran- ^oise seront mis cy apres. Lc8 Francois occupoient en ce tems la toutos COB terres et Ton prouvera par les Proces-Vorbaux du Sr. Champlain qu'il on prit poBsossion et de celles qui sont cinq cens lieues par delA, le pays des Iroquois et de la Eiviere de Saguo- nay ct y fit des itablissoments qui ont estd continuez. Auiieu que par bo qui est dit dans 1' Article cy a coste, il par- Joist qu'apids le voyage du Chevalier Thomas Button en 1612 les Anglois n'y Bont retoun^z qu'en 1631 ce quijustifie qu'ils n'ont jamais C8(6 en ce pays la pour 14 a— 12| chevalier Sebastion Cnb'^t en vertu d'uno commission du Eoy Henry Septieme. En I'an 1610 Henry Hudson sujet do Sa MajoBlo naviga dans les Detroits et dans la Bayo do Hudson en prit posses- sion et donna des noms A divers lieux siluez dans la Baye et les Detroits par les quels ils ont tonjours esl6 nommez et connus depuis ce tems la dans < -s cartes qui ont esld faites tai t dies les Pais etrangers qu'en Angletei re. En I'an 1612 le cheralior Thomas Button, Anglois, fit un voyage dans les Detroits et dans la Baye susdite et prit fiossession de diverses places et particu- idrement de la Eividro du Port Nelson et des Tot res voieines au nom du Eoy Jacques piemier et nomma la dite Ei- vidre et le Port ou loy et pa Compaguie paseerent I'hy ver du Port Nelson du nom du oapitaine du vaisseau qui a'appellait Nelson. r'. 180 Riponae.

Cotte croix n'a pu estre plant^e que f>ar lea Frangoi^et c'est vno preuve infall- ible qu'ils ont ^^te lea premiers occupana do ces Torres. Le nom de New Nord Wales donne a cetto contree en 16;i I ne prouve rien cen- tre la premidre possession des Francois qui eat depuis I'annee 1640 outre que ce lieu la ne pout avoir aucun rapport avec celuy de Nelson on estant esloignd d'en- viron 400 lieuos. On convient qu'en ce tems U les Anglois entrdrent dans la Bividre qu'ils nommdient Eupert, oil ils ont bfiti ensnito un Fort, mais ce Pais leur estoit si peu connu qu'ils furent obligez de s'y faire ictroduireparles nommez d^s Grosseliera et Baddison Francois babi- tans de Canada, qui quitterent pour la premiere fois la Compagnie Fran^oise qu'ila servoient. II n'est pas vray semblable que la tra- bison de ces deux bommes puisae servir de titre contre la Compagnie Fran^oise -qui en fit sea plaintea en ce tema 1^ et a continue depuia d domander raisoo de cette usurpation les affaires qui aurvinrent en Europe peu de tems apres, ont fait negliger la poui'suite de celle-cy, diyit la Compagnie Fran^oise ne s'eat jamais de- sist^e. Les FranQois n'ont su aucune connais- sance de cette prise de possession qui ne pourroit avoir aucun lieu quand elle seroit veritable, puisquo lus Francois estoient les premiers occupans fondez en Titre, et qu'il ny avoit point do guerre entre les deux Boys et qu'au contraire le Traite de Bieda fait en 1667 les maintenoit dans leur ancien Droit. En 1631 le Capitaino Luc Pox fit un voyage k Hudson's Baye par ordre da Boy Charles premier ot cntro plusieurs Lieux de la dite Baye oh il untra, il alia dans la Eividre du Port NolHon et trou- vant U vno Croix qui y avoit^std plants par le Chevalier Thomas Button, il la releva ot on renouvella I'inscriptio.i, do- clarant le Droit et la posHossion ijuo Sa Majesty y avoit ; ot nomma ensui'o les Pais de cotte Eividre New-North -Wales. En 1667 Zacheirie Qilham Anglois fit un autre voyage dans oetto Baye et entra dans rEmbouchoure d'uno Biviere qui est au fond de la Baye et la numma la Bividre Bupert k I'honneur de feu Son Altesse le Prince Raport qui estoit le prin- cipal des Intyerosaez dan^ cette Expedi- tion, le dit Gilham b&tit aussi un Fort a qui il donna le nom de Charlos A le hon- ueur du Boy deffunt et ayant pria posses- sion do la dite Biviere et des Torres voi- sinea il y oitablit le Comraeroo et vne bonne correapondenoo avec les naturels du Pals.

Voici lofaitqu'ils cortitient veritable et qui ser- vira do fiepoDso a co qui est dit cy a cost^. En Tanneo 1682 la dite Compagnie Fran^oi^ equippa doux vais- eeaux a Quebec,. hur le-^quels estoiont Ra- UiHBon ot des Grossoliors, qui avoiont obtonu en Franco le pardon do la Tra- hison qu'ils avoiont faite vision8 et ruinerent la Factor.e que la Corapa- gnioy avoit establio, emmenerent prison- niers a Canada lo Sr. Bcidgar Gouver- nenr de la Factorio ot 16 autres per- sonnes snjet de Sa Majosle. Do plus la Compagnie perdit aa memo temps lo navire nomme lo Prince Rupert command^ par Zacliarie Gilbam avec sa charge, provisions et munitions, io dit Gilham ot cinq autros porjonqea ayant p^ri avec le vaissoau et six autres aajeta de Sa Majeft^ ayant est* auS'*! obliges par cotte Invasion de so retiror dans les bois ou ils moururont de Faim et de raisere. Ces Doramages estant sap- putez avec toute la moderation possible moment du moins a plus de vingtoinq mil Livres Sterling de perte aux Interos- soz. lMm4 I: 1 f; ■? 184 IIb en estoient dans cette contestation Xorsqae led Gla is pouas^es par la mar^e coaperent lea cables du vaisseau Anglois le firent deriver en lar^o, oCi il fit nan- frage, lea gens de I'^quipage s'estcnt sanvrz k Terre dans des chaloupcs de- manderentda secoure aux Francois qui le lenr accorderent, et leur donnerent mesme vne barque et des vivres pour se retirer oil ils voudroient alien. V^e partie des Francois qui estoiont dans le dit Fort de la Eiviere de Bourbon spres avoir laiss^ les Gens n^cessaires I»nr la Garde de leur Poste et pour con- tinuer leur commerce avec les Sauvages 8*en retournerent k Quebec avec la Barque de Baston et son equipage que le Oouverneur de la Nouvelle-Frnnce fit relascher, qaoiqo'elle fust sans Commis- sion et par consequent sujette k confisca- tion. Messieurs les Commiesaires pourront joger par les faits ci-dessus, dont plusieurs Auglois qui en ont connaissanee ren- dront temoignage, si la compagnie d'Hud- Bon Baye est bien tbndee dans les preten- dus Domraages et Interests qu'elle doit avoir souffert en cette occasion. 11 a desja estd repondu k rette plainte que les Francois n'ont rien entrepris cen- tre les AiDglois en 1684 et que ces deux ▼aisseaux ayant trouve les Anglois esta- blis par Badisfron ne toucherent ni a leur Fort ni k leurs Habitations quoyqu'ils les possedaasent contre toute sorte de Justice «t de Baison et se contenterent d'entrer dans une petite Riviere nommde La Gar- gousse a demie lieu de \kot. ilsfurentobli- goz de passer I'hyver et ils s'en retour- nereiit ensuito k Quebec. Ce vaisseau n'a pu esti-e pris par les Francois lesquels au conlraire demandent la restitution des Agrez Poudres et autres munitions enlev^os k vn bfitiment Fran- cis. En 1684 les Francois en vertu d'nne Commission du S' de la Barre Gouverneur de Canada, entrerent avec denx vaisseaux etcinquante hommes dans la dite Baye et allerent au Port-Nelsoc, ou ils entrerent avec main-forte et y bfitivent vn Fort au- dessus de celuy de la Factorie de la Com- {)agnie et par ce moyen firent cette ann^e e Commerce de la Compagnie avec les Indiens, ce qui est vne perte aux Interes- sez du moins de dix mil Livres sterling. Au moie de juillet de Tan 16861esdeux vaisseaux eusditsretournant aCanadaren- contrerent a I'Emboucheure des Detroits un navire de la Compagnie nomm^le. Marchand de Perpotuana Edouard Hu- mes Maistre, qui alloit rend re son bord k Port Nelson avec sa charge et Provisions, qui ecstoient dcbtin^es pour lo service et pour I'avancement des Ktablisseraents et Factories des Iiitereseez et s'en estant emparez ils I'ammeuercnt a Quebec en Canada avec le maistre, IVquipage et 14 Passagersqui furent faits Prisonniers, ce qui a cause vne i)erte k la Compagnie du moins de cinq mil Livres Sterlg, comme aussi aux proprietaires du vaisseau, par 185 Hiponse. la perte de lear b&timent et do son fret,, gages et habits da maistre et de I'eqai- page, du moins de douzo centfl cinquante oinq pieces. En Tan 1686 les Francois de Canada prirent et ruinerent par Force troie Forts et Etablissements de la Compagnie sitnes aa fond de la Baye et trois de leurs vais- seanx avec vne grande quantite d'Effets, ProvisionB et munitions que los Interea- sez avoient amasa^es pour s'en servir dans lour negoce durant plusieurs anodes. Us enleverent ausai plus do cinquante mil peanx de Castor etoxposoreDt a la mercy des vagues dans un petit et vieux Bfiti- ment tout rain6 environ cinquanto sujets de Sa Majeste pour les faire ]ierir misera- blement on mer outre plusieurs autres qu'ils tnerentoa emmonerent prisonniers. Cette perte se monte d plus de cinquanto mil Livres Sterling. La Compagnie de Canada convient que n'ayant pft avoir raison en Angleterre ni en France de Milord Preston an snj )t de renlevoment qui fut fait en Tann^e 1683 de son Fort, Magazin et marchandises A la Eividre de Bourbon le dit milord Pres- ton ayant dit k lenr agent que cette affaire ne regardoit point le Koy son Maistre ne s'agissant que de I'lnterest des marohands, Elle prit la Besolution an mois de juin de I'ann^ 1686 n'ayant point aeses de vaisseauz pour reprendre son Fort de la Bividre de Bourbon, d'en- voyer 90 hommes par Terre aux Forts Bapert, Monssipi et Chiohitchouan, des- quels lis so rendirent les maistres et en leverent los marchandises qu'ils y trou- verent pour Bepresailles de ce que la Compagnie d'HudKon Baye leur avoit enleve aut dt. Fort de la Biviere de Bourbon en I'an 1683, Et a I'egard des Pertes Dom mages et Interests soufferts de part et d'autre, Elle consent volontiers qu'ils soient juges et liquidez par Messrs les Commissaires nommez par les deux Boys. 11 seroit h aoubaitcr pour I'utilite des deux Compa- Snies que leurs agents se tinssent chacun ans leurs postes pour faire leur com- merce sans so traverser les vns les autres, ce procedS n'estant qn'il I'advantage des sauvages qui par cette desunion leur ven- dent plus cher leurs Pelleteries. Sa Majesty tiesChretienne a donnd en dernier lieu ses ordres pour empescher los courses de ceux qu'on appelle Cou- ) ours de Bois ou Gens sans aveu qui csu- hent ces deeordres. Lorsque Sa Majeste Britanniq en aura donn^ de semblables de sa part, le Commerce des deux Cor pa- gnies en Ira beaucoup mieux. , To which Papers of the French Commissioners the>e was delivered the reply following : Beply to the Ant-wer given by the French Commissioners to the memoriall con- cerning the Eight of His Majesty of Great Brittain to ye Bay and Streights of Hudson and of the Damages which his Majesty's subjects have sustained by the Violence of the French Together with an answer to what is alledged by the French for justifying the Bight and Title to that Country and Streights. De plus los Francois de Canada ont depuis cinq ans negocie et froquonte dans les limites mentionnez et presents Jans la Chartre de la Compagnie so cachant aux Environs, etespiant leurs Factories s'attirant ainsi induement le commerce des Interessez avec les nalureln du Pais, par oil la Compagnie perd du moins dix mille peaux de Castor par an de la valeur de vingt mil livres sterling. Le totall des sommes susdites montent k cent onze mil deux cens cinquante cinq Livres sterling.

This late taking of Possession on which there is noe necessity of founding our Eight was sononded low dayd after by the arrival of an other ve:»soll from England whereof Guilham the father was master, at which time Mr. Bridgard G-overnor for the English Company made ki owne to ye French His Majestye-. Right and Title and the Priviledges of the Company to the Trade of that Country. Notwithstanding ■which, these new comers overcame by strength or Policy both the Ifather and the son and destroyed or took their vessells with what they had on board, tho' in time of peace and within tho Possessions of the Crowne of England, which never were dis- puted there before even in time of warr. 'Tis acknowledged that ye Grant or Letters given by His ia^ajesty to ye English Company do not of themselves give any Right, but ye ostablishmt of a Company priviledged for so Considerable a Commerce and the Actual Tradeing they have Main- tained with ye Inhabitants in pursuance of the said Grant or Letters, the Forts they have built in sevcrail places and the Factories they have kept at so vast a charge, do plainly shew that his Maty was not deceived, but that ye grant was founded in bin owne Eight which itath been yett further confirmed by this last takeii g of possession and ye Continuall Tradeing of his subjects under his Royall Authority. The English Company doth not think it eelfe obliged to answer the Diimages sustained by the French in 1H83, seeing what they did on that occasion ww against the Intrusion of the French and in pursuance of the Powers and Priviledges granted them by his Majesty for the Trade of those parts. What is here meant is little to the Purpose either in regard to ye last Treaty or to his Majestyes former or present Title whereof the Dispute and proceeding by such ways in time of peace and under the shadow of a Treaty of good Oorre-ipondenea seemo very extraordinary and may prove of dangerous Consequence. As to the Titles produced by the French Commrs, the Commission given by King Francis the first is of noe force in respect to these Counti ies, there haveing never been any Actual Possession taken and in effect all the other Letters Patients can signify nothing in prejudice to his Majtys Right, seeing noe |.rince whatso- ever can be hindred from givoing to his Governors, Agents and Com; -nnys such Titles as he shall think best. Those given by Henry the Great and Louis the IHth compre- hend all that the Crowne of England possesses or hath possessed on ye Continent of America, together with severall Large Islands, which nevorthelons liannot in the least eclipse or diminish His Majesty es Clai me. ♦ Now if the Commissionots should insist on Titles of that nature, there would be no safety for his Majestys tsubjects in America. Carolina, Pensilvania and other places possessed by his Majeftys subjects even since the Tieaty at Breda would bo in Danger should the French iliink tit to surprize them, after which it would not be difficult for them (o alleilge imaginary discoveries or oven to prove that five or six French had passed that wity before, and made some Contract with the Indians. It is much more just and reasonable to rely upon A ctuall discoveries and upon possession taken in view of all tho World and which have continued for a long time together and are too clearly proved by tho Violence of the French in their enterprise in the Years 1682 and l«iH6. As to the Dammages sustained by tho subjects of ffrance, the English Company maintaific thoy are not obliged to indemnify them after soe manifest an lnvas'on. It shall not be ye fault of ye Compan v of Uudsons Bay, if their Agents and thoso of ye Company of Canada do not keep within their respective Bouuiis. the one pre- tending only to the Trade of the Bay and streights above menconed, whilst the other keeps to that of Canada — and that the Forts, Habitations, ffactorios an • ti-tablishrats. of the English Company be restored and their Limitts made good as ye first discoverers, Poesetisors and Traders thither, being the LawfnII marks ot soveraignty and this for above Twelve Years together before over the French lh''8 *»»« ^'•«!® of tho BngliHh within the Bounds of ye Raid Comoanv ZX::^i^^I^::^ '°*^- He^-ationandsatisr^rl^^o'c^^C^^^^ **^derd^lf.^W^/?"n^ par Messreles Commissaires de Prance au meraoire dee droits d« Boy de la Grande Bretagne sur la Baye et D^troitB d'Hu"son Tt H«!

All that are acquainted with ye nature of the Indians well know their wander- ing and variable Dispositions, and it is easy to produce on his Majestys part submis- Bions and Capitulations of those people, which do very much effect the French In- terest and pretentions in those parts, but it is enough to say that noe Action or Besolution of those savages can aUer an Bstablieht Bight. The English Company do not pretend that the ffrench had noe knowledge of the Bay and streights of Hud- eon before the Year 1682, being very sensible that the French have of a long time been acquainted with and envied the Prosperity of the Trade and settlement of the English, and often attempted to undermine them in their Commerce with the In- dian^, which nevertheless they could never accomplish in any part till the Assault madb upon his Majesties subjects in 16S2 which is averred to be the first pretended settlement of the French upon the Bay after Twelve Yeares uninterupted possession of the English Company of that name. It is a Certaice murke that the French stand in need of Arguments to main- UanQ their Eight, since they insist upon the service of des Grosseliers and Eadisson made use of and paid by the English, when it is well knowne that the most famous Conquests and discoveries of the world, have in all tiiaes been Carryed on, with the help of strangers without diminution of the Eight of the Prince, under whose banner the same was ii^ade. It may well be that Monsr. Frontenac might have some Complaint of the English but did the ffrench over openly question the establishment of the English in the Bay or Interrupt their Trade till the Yearo 1682. The possession of this Trade is of too great a Consequence to have been passed in silence upon any such account for Boe long an Interval of time as Twe've Yeares. It will raflher be believed that ye French did not th'nk it seasonable for other reasons to make their advances de proche et procLe et s'estendre sur las Lleux appartenants h la Compagnie Angloise till the Year 1682. Upon further reflectior it is to be hoped £he Freuch will disowne this method of acquisition and takeing possession which is soe injurious to good neighbourhood, and soe contrary to the intent and meaning of Treaties. Finally, His Majesties subjects referr theinselves to all ihe Constitutions of Eight that are allowed by Treaties and the Law of Nations, and could as well as the French have availled themselves even of the Law of Nature (du Droit Naturel) if they had not hoped to have received from ye Justice of the most Christian King (who hath drowned the whole proceedings of his subjects in this affair) intire flatisfaotioc for the Injury and Losses they have suffered by the Invasion of his sub- jCiDts, which has been often demanded by ye reiterated memorials of his Majestys Envoy in the Court of France and is now expected with Impatience least by the Compenys being kept out of possession of their Property by Continued Delays, their Commerce in those parts may suffer irreparable Dammage.- Ebponsb an dernier Memoire de la Compagnie Francois de Canada touchant lea Detroits et Demandes de la Compagnie Anglaise de la Baye J'fludson.

Whereupon his Majesties Commissioners haveing fully debated the matter with the Commissioners of France on the 10th of August 1687, their Lordship desire ye said ffrench Commissioners to make some proposafl in writeingtobesent to Hudsoos Bay Company ior their answer therein which proposal was accordingly delivered as follows : Proposal of the Frencn OonnniBsion- ers in order to aa •ccomodation. Les deux Compagnies de I'Am^riqne septentrionale no pouvant oonveuir ensemble de la propri^te de la Baye d'Hudson, II semble que pour parvenir k nn accommodement convenable aux deux Na- tions la Compagnie Fran^oise pourroit rendre les Trois Forts qu'EUe prit rann^e dernidre k la Compagnie Angloise au fond de la Baye et que la dite compagnie rendit en memo tems k la Franjoise le Fort et Magazine de Nelson qui furent pris sur les Francois en I'ann^ 1683. Et qu'en consequence de cet accommodoment il fust regI4 et fixe des Limites dans tonte cette partie de TAmeiique en sorte que les deux compagnies ne ptissent empieter a Tavenir Tune sur I'autre et que chaonne de son oost^ fit vn commeree utUe sans se troubler et sans aueun des ambarras qui ne sont que trop souvent arrives aa prejudice des sujets des deux nations. La compagnie d'Hudson Bay n'a jamais fait vn commerce si utile que pendant le tems qu'elle n'oooupoit que les trois Forts du Fond de la Baye, les Pelleteries y sont & beaucoup meilleur marohS paroe que les sauvages de ce cost4 la n'ont pas tant de chemin k faire pour les transporter jusques an bord de la mer anlieu que d'un ooste du Port Nelson, il faut que les sauvages viennent de fort loin. Cet echange est I'ox- Sidient qui paroist le plus convenable pour I'avantage des deux compagnies dans la ^Intion oii les deux Boys sont de ne se point coder I'un k I'autre la propridt^ de la Baye entiere. Si la compagnie Angloise a quelq-o autre expedient k proposer qui puisse mieux oonvenir aux deux Nations sur ce fondement qu'auoun des deux Boys ne vcut c^der la propriety de la dite Baye, Elle en peut dresser vn memoire qui sera do nouveau examine par Messrs les Commissaires. To which the Hudsons Bay Company Betnrne ye Answer foUowiog The Hudsons Bay Company haveing received a paper containing a proposal of an Expedient made by the French Commissioners to Exchange the three flbrts surprised by the French the hist Year in ye Bottom of the Bay, for the Fort and Factory of Port Nelson, altho' the said proposal in it hath neither Justice, Beaaon nor Equity and therefore can expect noe formaii answer, yet that they may know the said English Company's Besolatione, they answer Answer of jeOomp. of Hudsons Baj to the propoBall of ye fteneh Oommission- ers for an accomo- 4ftcoii.
