'lich hail sown per- secution and bigotry, and had ii. iidated the llri- tish Islands with blood, and everywhere larried niurder and rebellion. I'hcy ilso dec larod, that the i,Hiebec' Kill of 1771 was an ac:t for eslablishing the Kom.m Cal'iolii uligion in the l'r(Hiiic:e of (Jiiebec-, abolishing the ei|iiit,ible system of I'.iiglish Kiws, anil erecting .1 tyr.uiny there. I.ven in the I'rovincial (.'ongresses, if I in.iy use the word, the same intolerant spirit inmifesled itself. 'I'liiis in the plan of ac-romm id.ition with (ircat lirilain, adopted by the New N ork Provincial Congress on the -"7111 lime, 177,, and addressed to lluir dele- gates .11 I'liilacklphia, we find the lollowing clause :- - ".\s tlie free eiij lyment of the rights of con- science is, of all others, the most \ahi.ible branch of hnni.in liberty, and the indulgence and est.ib- lishinenl of I'opery all .ilong the interior conliiies of the old I'roleslant Colonies lends not only to obstriic;t their growth, but weaken their security, that neither the r.irliament of ( ireal Ihilain or any oilier e.irthly legislature or triliiinal ought or can interleie in anywise however in the religions and eccUsiaslic al c:on'-erns of the Col.inies !" lilt lo the honour of ihe New N ork delegates they showed a more liberal spirit, as their answer shows ; -- " .\s the inhabilanls of the cintinent," said they, "are happily imited in a political creed, we arc of opinion th.it it would be highly imprudenl to run ihc risk of dividing iheni by the inlrodiiclion of disputes foreign 10 the present controversy, especially as the disc ussion of them can he attend- ed with no single advantage. Tiny are pomls aliciul which mankind will forever differ, and there- fore should always, and at least in limes like these, be kept out of sight. We are the more contlrnud in these sentiments by this circumstance that both this and the foiiiier Congress have cautiously avoided the least hint on subjects of this kind, all ihe members concurring in a desire of burying all es, those lor example of the .''all I Ictober, 177 (. and -'lid Juiie, 1 775, had the ilfic I of causing a nun. ber of I anadi.ins to oc c iipy a neutral posilion, bill I have no hesiliuion wlia ever ill saying that the fact of Can.ida reniaming ,1 llrit'sh colony is m.iiii ly due to the altitude of the Catli.iiict 1 lergy at that lime.

Our yuke is broken. A glorious lib"rly, b.ng wished for, has now ar rived, and which we will now enjoy, as-curing our sister colonies, represented by you, sir, of our real and unfeigned satisfaction at our happy union. 'I houfili the citizens of Montreal have despised us and daily do treat us vith contempt, we declare that we abhor their conduct towards our brethren and fri nds. We say that ihe articles ol ca itulat'on which they oliered is a treaty between two enemies, and not a contract or society of a fraternal union. These same citizens always nave and still do look upon us as rebels. At the appellation we took no otle'ce, having it in common with our >ister col nie^. But in spite of them and agreeable to our inclinations, we now enter Into tlie union and asscciation, as we (' d in our heart-; the moment the address of t^'e 26th Oclob'er, 1774, was handed to us, and to which if we had d.-ced we would Inve serit an answer. Vou are not ignorant, sir, that from that dale siler.ce was even a matter of siis.)ici 'P, and who, ver did dae think or utter thcr thoughts might (kpeci for recompense prison irons, or at least tiie contempt and ndignation of the citizens. We now look upon them as conquered -not united. They call us ignorant, illiteia'e men. i'rue it is, we seerred such. Despotism had almost annihilattd us, hut how can they pretend to know or detcr.nine what we are. Merit — a man of paits -had noadmisMon even to the an'echamler. But it is not neces'^ary, we presume, to truuhle your Kxceb lency with a detail of the oppreision whicli we have endurtd or with an enumeration of the authors, -a more favourable time may come. However ignorant or rehelliou* we may seem to be. we declare nnd humbly p'ay ycur Kxcellency to cotnnuinicate our declaration to (Congress. We say, we declare tnai (ur heart.s ever did desire this union- that we received and looked on the I'nioi troojis as our o »n, in a woui that we agree to the association which our i-ister colonies have olltred us, that we never thought of being admitted into a si>ciets and enjoying the advantages of such society, with- out conirihuting to tlie expense and suppor thereof. It we are ignorant, yet we are endowul wi h reason. Ihe same laws, the same iie evil, should it lead Congress ether to overrate our means or to underrate the ditficulties we have yet to con- tend with. 1 nee I not tell you that till i.iuebec is taken Canada is unco qtiereft, and that to ac-omphsh this we mu^t resoit to siege, investment, or storm. I'he hrst of thei^e is out ol the question from the difticulty of making trenches in a Canadian winter and the g'eaier difiicutty of living in them, i( we could mak ■ them ; secondly, from tl.c nature of the soil, which, as 1 am at prestnt instructed, renders mining impracticable, and were this otherwise, from the want of an engineer having sufficient skill to direct the prtcess, .nnd thirdly, from the fewness and lightness of our artdlery which is quite unlit to break waits like those of (Quebec. Investment has fewer olijections, and might be fcufncieni were we able to shut out entirely from the gar- rison and town the necessary supplies of lood and luel during the winter, but to do this well (the enemy's w^rks l>eing very exten>ive ond ollering nia-y averuts to the neiglibouring s-etilement*) will require a Urge army, and from present appearance mine will n..t when Itr.'Ught together, much, if at all, exceed eight hundred combatants. Of Canadians I miglil be able to get a consiilerable nuniber, provided I had hard money with which {■' c'litt-e, fcf-d nrd pay 1 11 their wage-:, I ut this is wan'ing. I'd ss, t'-eri.'fore, I am sv on and ariq ly relnfirce'', investment, like siege, mist be i^ivcn up. Tot' e storniiT'g plan there are few ohject'ons and t'^lhis we must come at last.

(iiiaids were now placed at Cape Diamond, at St. I.oui?, St. John's and I'alace gates, andjalso in tl e Lower Town. Orders were also given to Mt. 'I'hompson to engage a num!)erot Canadians, some of whom were to be einplcycd in culling and pre- paring pic(piets, otheis to setting them with all the expedition possible, and in laying the platforms from CapL" Diamond to the Port St. John. Tt e block-houses were to be repaired with the least de- lay, andalso the sally-ports. Tne key of the wicket of Palace gate was, tor the future, to bj sent with the other keys to the main-guard. On the J -Mid November orders were issueii that persons who were unwilling to take up arms should leave t^uebrc without delay. Hy this time Arnold had appeared before the r)ld Rock City. As early as August, 1775, a plan was adopted to send a force into Canada byway of the Rennebec, and to Arnold the command was given. He was instructed by General Washington to use the utmost vigilance in guarding against reprisals ; lo asceilaiii b) evei) means in his power tile real sentiments of the Canadians towards the .\merican cause : lo maintain the strictest discipline and gttod order among his own troops ; to conciliate the affec- tions both of the Canadians and the Indiins, and convince them that he came among them as friends, Montgomery Souvenir.

On the i,;th September, Arnold, with an .irniyof 1,000 nie.i, st.irled on this expedition, whirh, lor its no.elty, spirit and enterprise, has sildoin been excelled. .Scouts were sent ahead to mark the Indian pathwiys, ind carrying places.

'I'hey were then rediK ed to .1 daily r.ilion of half a bisi nit and half an inch sipiare ol raw pork. ( hi ihe.Slh ( iclo- ber the height of land was re.u lied. Their duty being petformed they returned, t.iking pains to con- ceal their foolsleps. On the i.uh October they reached I leer Kiver, and not meeting .Arnold there, as they expecled, the> were led 10 believe they h.id been ileserled. I'tiey were now so we.ik that they Were unable to carry their canoes. Some of theii number went ahead, promising to return within three days with provisions. The three days passed .iway withoii. any signs of the promised relief, so they proceed :d, and tin. illy after spending .'fi davs in the woodi met the pioneers of the army. Snow- was now on the ground, and i(e (m the waters. Over steep nillh, through the deep gullies and dismal .swamps, 111 the tangled brushwood and deep forests the march coiitimied. Provisions were exhausted, and roots were eagirly .sought tor, — the dogs that accompanied t^e lorce were cooked, and even the very moccasins were boiled with a view of sustain- ing life. I'cireseeing the scarcity of provisions, and the great sufferings it would entail, Cjl Knos, wiih his division, returned to ( ambridgc'. finally, after spending tinny one days in indescribable hardships, .Vrnold's men reached the first Caiiadi.ui settlement 30th .September, and here a nuinlier of them died from excess of eating. 1 )n the -iih .November .\rnold arrived at Sartigan, on the 5th at Si. .Mary's la I'.eauce, the 7th at St. Henry, and the ,sih at I'oint Levi, .Arnold at once prepared to cross the river by means of c anoes, but owing to the high winds thai prevailed he was un- able to do so until I) o'clock on the evening of the i,;lh November, and by 4 o'clock the following nioi ning 500 of his men iiad landed at W' Ifc's cove. .\rnold then, according to his own statement, " paraded, and we marched up within half a-mile of the walls, and gave the people in town three ( heers, and were in hopes of their coming out but were dis.ippointed. ftlorg.in, Kebiger and other brother olilcers did not hesitate," says Henry, " to speak of this as a ridiculous affair that gave them a contemiitible opinion of .\ mold.
