 REMOVAL OF THE ACADIANS 
 
 In 1740, difficulties between France and En- 
 gland, in consequence of court-intrigues, kindled 
 a heedless war which terminated with no less 
 levity by the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The redac- 
 tion of the treaty exhibited, on the part of the 
 French ministers, such a neglect and unpardonable 
 ignorance that a new war began very soon after, 
 on the borders of Acadia. The governor of 
 Canada placed garrisons along the frontiers and 
 the peace heretofore enjoyed by the Acadians 
 ceased to exist. 
 
 In 1755, the envy which the prosperity and rich 
 soil of the colony had excited among the militia of 
 New-England brought on this infamous and cruel 
 spoliation, an eternal stain on the name and honour 
 of England, which unfortunately is not without 
 more than one parallel in the history of that nation.

 calamity, the Acadiaushad to bow to tlie atrocious 
 law of a triumphant foe ; and on the 10th of 
 September, the mournful expatriation took place. 
 
 That date had been fixed upon as the day of 
 departure ; and a man of war was in waiting for 
 them. At day break, the drums were resounding 
 in the villages, and at eight o'clock the ringing of 
 the church bells told the sad and desolate French- 
 men that the time had come for them to leave for 
 ever their native land. Soldiers entered houses, 
 and turned away men, women and children into 
 the market place. Till then each family had 
 remained together, and a silent sadness prevailed ; 
 but when the drums beat to embark ; when the 
 time had come to leave their native home for ever, 
 to part with mother, relations, friends, without 
 hope of seeing them again, to follow strangers that 
 enmity, language, habits and especially religion 
 had made antipathic, crushed beneath the weight 
 of their misery, the exiles melted into tears and 
 rushed into each others arms in a long and last 
 embrace. The drums were resounding incessantly 
 and the crowd was pushed on towards the ships 
 anchored in the river. Two hundred and sixty 
 young men were ordered to embark on board the 
 first vessel : This they refused to do, declaring 
 they would not leave their parents but were willing 
 to embark with tlieir families. Their request was 
 immediately rejected, but they were forced into

 the liomes as expect* igtlie return of their owners, 
 while the faithful watch dogs were liowling on 
 the deserted hearths. 
 
 According to the llevue ties Deux Monties of 
 1.S.31, the number of prisoners thus removed in 
 the district of Mines amounted to 4,000, and it 
 may be said that the whole French population liad 
 been banished, as very few could escape. 
 
 From the following statement may be obtained 
 an idea of the wealth of that country. Four thous- 
 and houses and five thousand stables were burned ; 
 twelve thousand oxen, three thousand cows, five 
 thousand calves, six thousand horses, twelve 
 thousand slieep and eiglit hundred pigs were 
 taken possession of. 
 
 The American colonists, who had long since 
 provoked the measures, obtained a grant of the 
 land, and of course the numerous herds were not 
 without profit to some one ; so, nothing had been 
 neglected to succeed in that canton, which was 
 the wealthiest of all. 
 
 How did these poor people live in the forests 
 and wilderness ? through what succession of dan- 
 gers and sufferings did they pass in the presence 
 of speculators among wdiom their lands were 
 divided ? This we do not know ; But we are 
 
. — 
 
 aware tlmt thoy felt tlie pan^s of lnin<;«'i' and the 
 cold and defendcc] their lives n^^ainst wild l^er.its. 
 
 At the present time, we find a small parish of 
 Acadian origin, growing on the ruins of their 
 country, in the midst of Britisli invaders. The 
 population are French Acadians an<l catholics in 
 every principle and remains as an unconquerahhi 
 protest of justice. They are the inliahitants who 
 escaping from British persecution, took refuge in 
 the woods and later emigrated into several localities 
 of St. Lawrence. 
 
 In 1755, tlie French commanding officer stationed 
 himself at Beausejour with a small garrison of one 
 hundred and iifty men, whei'e they watched tlie 
 movements of the English, wdio later on took the 
 fort by a surprise. The women and children were 
 able to escape and hide away in the woods ; who 
 was soon after joined by the connnander with a few 
 armed men. When they saw the liames destroying 
 their houses, the blood of the old Acadians swelled 
 in their veins, and they listened only to anger 
 and revenge, they left th(dr wives and children 
 into the woods and threw tliemselves suddtmly on 
 the enemies, who, broken by this furious and un- 
 expected attack, returned to their ships, leaving 
 behind forty-five of their conu'ades dead or 
 wounded. After this dreadful slaughter, the Frencli 
 officer apportioned to the best of his ability, the

 ])ogn) T-^ain to c' "ar the woods along tlie shoi'es ; 
 hut the majority of tliose estahliyhed on the shores 
 had to take refuge in Canada. 
 
 In 1757, there remained on the borders of the 
 Gulf of the St. Lawrence, but very few families, 
 being unprotected by their small number and by 
 the remoteness of English settlements, together 
 with the usual poverty of an uninhabited country, 
 n).ade it anything out a desirable location. 
 
 As to the fate of the people dwelling along the 
 river of Annapolis, tliey threw themselves in the 
 woods at the first suspicion ; for they had for sou)e 
 time been accustomed to such tactics ; but this time, 
 it was not a passing storm after which tliey could 
 return to their fields and rebuild their wooden 
 house. The English levied on them a lasting war. 
 One portion of the people of Annapolis were obliged 
 to take refuge, through forests and deserts, with 
 tlie Savages, while others scattei'ed along the 
 shores, where, poor and unnoticed, they earned 
 tlieir living as Acadian fishermen. There, for several 
 years, they succeeded in concealing their existence 
 aiiud anxieties and privations, hiding carefully 
 their small canoes, not daring to till the land, 
 watching with apprehension any English sail, and 
 dividing with their friends, the Indians, the supplies 
 due to fishing and hunting.

 comforted and sustained them against english per- 
 secutions, this missionary had been called by 
 th^m, and offered to defray his own expenses. 
 
 A certain number still remained scattered in 
 different places living miserably in the remotest 
 cantons. 
 
 In 1763, permission was granted to Acadians 
 that had been transported into Massachusetts to 
 establish themselves on the south-west shore of 
 their old country near St. Mary's Bay. 
 
 The township of Clare, Digby county, was at 
 the time a ruff and jagged place, remote from all 
 habitation and accessible only by sea. The Aca- 
 dians who seem to possess as an essential charac- 
 teristic, a constant energy and indominable perse- 
 vercnce were ready to recommence the struggle 
 and work without loss of courage. They were not 
 long in putting their shoulder to the wheel, when 
 the said inheritance, granted them by the com- 
 passion of their oppressors came back into their 
 hands. Industrious, hard- workers, sober, they soon 
 cleared the land, built fishing boats and created in 
 this deserted country a sufficient thrift. All the 
 authors are in accordance in their testimony as to 
 the preservation of the language, national cha- 
 racter and vigilance to maintain old customs,

 Mr. Halliburton, judge in Nova Scotia, has ^ 
 written the following in 1829 : "While Germans ^ 
 have a tendency to disappear in the English popu- ^ 
 lation, the Acadians live together as much as j 
 possible ; keeping their religion, language and l^ 
 peculiar customs. They never intermarry with^^ 
 their protestant neighbours. Among themselves, ^ 
 they speak but French." g^,

 France has been, till the middle of the last cen-hc

 world. The moment seems propitious to present 
 to the public the researches we publish here. IV(

 to call back the painful end of efforts which, af^rj 
 their beginning, raised so legitimate and brightj 
 hopes ; but we must overcome the natural repuli

 Les difficultes entre la France et I'Angleterre, 
 renaissant sans cesse des pressions de Cour, avaient 
 en 1740 allum^ fort a I'dtourdie, une guerre qui 
 fut terminee avec non moins de l^g^ret^ par le 
 traits d'Aix-la-Chapelle, dont la redaction accusait 
 de la part des ministres Fran^ais une negligence 
 et meme une ignorance impardonnable, qui ne 
 tarda pas a devenir la cause d'une guerre nouvelle

 Ce fut en 1755 que les milices de la Nouvelle

 arnios, entourt's de soldats, ecrases par le nialheur, 
 les Acadiens subirent la loi atroce du vainqueur, 
 et le 10 septembre en effet eut lieu la scene lugu- 
 bre de cette expatriation. 
 
 Le 10 septembre le jour fixe pour I'embar- 
 quement, un vaisseau de guerre les attendait. D^s 
 le point du jour les tambours rdsonnerent dans 
 les villages, et a huit heures, le triste son de la clo- 
 che avertit les pauvres Fran^ais que le moment de 
 quitter leur terre natale ^tait arriv^. Les soldats 
 entrerent dans les maisons et en firent sortir tons 
 les hommes, temmes et enfants, qu'on rassembla 
 sur la place. Jusque-la chaque famille etait rest^e 
 rc^unie ; et une tristesse silencieuse regnait parmi 
 le peuple. Mais (piancl le tambour annon(;a I'heure 
 de Tembarquement, quand il fallut abandonner 
 pour toujours la terre oh. ils (^talent n4s, se sepa- 
 rer de leur mk'e, de leurs parents, de leurs amis, 
 sans espoir de jamais les re voir, emmenc^s par des 
 (Strangers, leurs ennemis, dont ils different par le 
 langagc, les coutumes et sur tout la religion, alors 
 accablt^s par le sentiment de leurs miseres, ils fon- 
 dirent en larmes et se prdcipiterent dans les bras 
 les uns des autres, dans un long et dernier em- 
 brassement. Mais le tambour battait toujours, et 
 on les poussa vers les batiments stationn^s dans la 
 riviere. Deux cent soixante jeunes gens furent 
 designes d'abord pour etre embarqut^s sur le pre- 
 mier batiment, mais ils s'y refuserent, declarant

 ne partiraient qu'au milieu de leurs families. Eli ]

 serent la baionnette et marcherent sur eux. Ceux 
 
 qui voulurent rdsister f urent blesses, et tous f uront 
 
 obliges de se soumettre k cctte horrible tyran- t

 quement, la route ^tait bord^e de femmes et t 
 
 d'enfants, qui, k genoux, au milieu de pleurs, et p 
 
 de sanglots, b^nissaient ceux qui passaient, fai- 
 
 saient leurs tristes adieux k leurs maris, k leurs 
 
 fils, leur tendant une main tremblante, qu'ils par- n 
 
 venaient quelque fois a ioucher, mais que le sol- ti

 Les jeunes gens furent suivis par les homme.^ pi

 scene d(^chirante. 
 
 La population male fut jetee a bord de cin(| 
 vaisseaux de transport, qui attendaient dans la 
 riviere ; chaque batiment dtait sous la garde de six 
 officiers et quatre-vingt soldats. A mesure qui 
 d'autres navires arriverent, les femmes et les en 
 fants y furent embarques, et (^loignes ainsi ci 
 pleine mer, les soldats chantaient en presence de ci 
 sort si deplorable. Les pleurs de ces pauvres mal 
 heureux excitaient leur ferocite : ils eurent meiiit 
 beaucoup a souffrir de la part des officiers.
