The historian Garneau thuis sums up the character of this celer hrited m ». : — " FrauQois de Laval, the first Bishop in Canada, was a scion of ** the illustrious house of Montmorency. To his high descent he *' Mwed much of the intluence which he exercised in the civil as '• well as the ecclesiastical atlairs of the colony, making and un- '* making its governors at will. He had great talents and much '• activity, while his overlx3aring spirit brooked no opposition. His *• naturally obstinate character, hardened rather tlian subdued by *' religious zeal, caused constant dissensions between hiniself and " the public functionaries with whom he had to deal; he also got " into trouble with the heads of the l(K;al religious communities ** and even with private individuals. He was firm in the belief *' that in what ' er he did for the supposed weal of the church, in *' any contingency, he could not err; and firm in this i)ersuasion, ** he did some things, in a colonial sphere of action, which would ** have been deemed exorbitant in Europe." ************ " He found invincible antagonists in successive governors, all " more or less jealous of the undue influence which he i)osses8ed ; " and these, individually, were often kept in countenance by ^' public sentiment, which veered fitfully for or against the two *' absolute masters of the people, lay and spiritual. The complacent *' recognition of such references to popular feeling seemed to solace ** the minds of the colonists somewhat, under the oppression of the ** double yoke they had to bear." 124.

McCiiLL, James, Founder of McGUI University. liorn in Soothmd, Otlober (Jth, 1744, caino to Montreal at an early hge, and onj;a^e«l HucceHsfully in niercantilo piTsuits; liiM integrity and public spirit cained the eonfnience of his fellow-citizens, and he wwA elected their representative in Parliament, He was subse* qm'iitly apiK)inted a niemlmr of the 1793 Execntive Council, and dnrinji; the war of 1812 was a colonel juid brigadier-general of militia. Died in Montreal, December 10, aged tiO. Hy his will, he set apart his estate of Burnside, on the slope of the Mountain, with a sum of £10,000, for the foundation of a university, one of the colleges of which wtus to be named the McGill College. But many delays occurred before the university was in a f)osition to enter upon its career of usefulness, but Mr. McGill's bequest was the foundation upon which, in various ways, has been built up an institution second to none in Canada. Alone, that bequest, muiiiticent as it was, was inadequate to such a result. But it awakened the zeal and stimulated the efforts of others, and pro- duced a kindred generosity which has shown itself in man } unstinted contributions. 89. Metcalfe. Charles, Lord, K.Ci.C.B. Bor7i January ^oth, i-jS^, £>ied Se/>feni/fer c^t/i, 1S46. Etigravcd by IV. Warner, Philadelphia, frovi a painting by A. Bradish. Sir Charles Metcalfe served his country in various positions in India with distinguished ability for thirty-seven years. He sub- sequently was appointed Governor of Jamaica, which he resigned to return to England for the pur|x)se of obtaining medical advice, and left the island May 20th, 1842. In the same year, declining health comi)elled Sir Charles Bagot to resign the governor-general- ship of Canada, a position which had become so troublesome tbat few could be found to undertake it, and Sir Charles Metcalfe's rame was presented and he yielded to tlie solicitations of the Ministry. The entire term of his governorship was marked by the most violent political strife, during which, it is said, " it w as amusing to mark the calmness of Sir Charles Metcalfe." To his steadfastness of purpose, he perhaps sacrificed his life. He would not resign his ap[X)intment when the absence of toil and anxiety might have alleviated the terrible disease with which he was afflicted ; but, true to his principles, he maintained his post, ex- j)Osing himself to the bitter shafts of party malevolence. MoLSON, Honorable John (i). Born 1^64, Died iS^6. Born in England, and came to Canada in 1782 ; having deter- mined to remain in Montreal, he founded the brewery, which has been continued by his descendants down to the present time. In 1809 (only two years later than Fulton launched his first steamboat on the Hudson), the first step towards steam navigation of the St. Lawrence, w as taken by Mr. Molson. He went to Eng- land and brought out engineers and other workmen, with such parts of the machinery as could not be made in Canada. The first vessel placed upon the /iver was the Accommodation, a small boat 72 feet in length, and propelled by an engine built by Mr. Jackson, of not more than six horse power. In 1811, the Suyiftmre was launched by Mr. Molson, and in the following year did service in the transport of troops and stores during the war. These vessels were placed on the route between Montrepl and Quebec, and were soon after replaced with the Malshom, Lady Sherhrcoke, and others of superior tonnage and power. Later in life, Mr. Molson became president of the Bank of Mont- real, at a time of great commercial difficulty, from which period the bank has steadily progressed until it has attained its present high position among banking institution?. Mr. Molson was also a member of the Executive Council of Lower Canada. Molson, Honorable John. (2.) Son of the foregoing, born in Montreal, in 1787. Ho was connected with his father in all his enterpri^es. At a later period, when railroads were introduced, Mr. Molson took an active part in their introduction into Canada, and was President of the first opened in the Province (the St. Lawrence and Champlain), of which he continued a Director until his death. Nor was he less active in advancing the intereists of our monetary institutions. He became a Director of the Bank of Montreal, but retired to make room for his father at the period already referred to. Resuming his seat at the Board on the retirement of his ftUher from the Presidency, he remained as a Director till 1853, w hen, in connection with his brothers, Thomas and William, he established the Molson's Bank. When the Special Council replaced the Parliament, in 1837, he was called to a seat in it. He, how^ever, never desired to enter public life. He preferred to take part without ostentation in every eftbrt towards developing the resources, and to aid in the advance- ment, of his native city. Having shouldered his musket in 1837, he, with many other loyal men, felt keenly the passing of the Rebellion Losses Bill, and was one of the signers of the famous Annexation manifesto, a proceeding for wiiich he was deprived of his commis- missions of Justice of the Peace and Colonel of the Militia ; the ofiTers atterwards made by Grovernment to reinstate him, he respectfully declined. As a private citizen, Mr. Molson was highly esteemed. The cause of education and philanthropy ever found him a friend, and, indeed, there is scarcely an important educational % <>r charitable institution in Montreal with which liis name was not <'onnected. The Molson Chair, in the McGill College, endowed by the liberality of tlie three brothers, may be specially mentioned as an instance of munificence and public spirit. As a Governor for many years of the Montreal General Hospital, from the Presidency of wliich he retired sho>"tlv before his death, hifi zeal will be lonjr remembered. He died in ^tontreal ,July 12th, 18()0, in his 78rd year. Montcalm Le Saint Veran, Louis Joseph, dorn 17 12, die^ 1759- Celebrated as a brave and intrepid military officer, and as the last commander of tiie French tro> '|^)S in America previous to the conquest of Canada. He entered the army when 14 years of age, iind served in Italy as early as 1734 ; he distin;ruished himself in Germany durinjj; the war for the Austrian succession ; he was ajzain in Italy, and gained the rank of Colonel at the battle of Piacenza (1746). In 1756, bein^r then a Brigadier-Greneral, he was appointed to command the French troops in Canada ; he was dis- tinguished for the masterly manner in which he executed the command conferred upon liim, and, particularly, for the stout and resolute resistance which he made to the English, under Wolfe, in 1750, when they att-i-cked the city of Quebec. He had conducted his operations againf«t the English with great activity and success, and had made himself master of Fort Ontario, at Oswego, and Fort William Henry, at the head of Lake Geoi^e, and thus became possessed of 42 guns and la"ge stores of ammunition and provisions, which were invaluahle to his almost destitute army. Scarcity of food had been one of his chief difficulties ; the harvest in Canada had failed, and the French Government was reluctant to send out supplies, which were liable to be captured by the English cruisers. In the campaign of 1757, Montcalm occupied the strong position of Ticonderoga ; he made it still stronger by entrenchments, in constructing which he worked with the common soldiers, and at the head of about 3,600 men, awaited the attack of over fifteen thousand. After a fierce battle, the English retreated in disorder. The personal bravery which Montcalm had evinced, increased his popularity among the soldiers ; and, it is believed by manj^ that if he had received timely reinforcements, he could have held out for a much longer |)eriod ; but the want of energy on the part of the home government, the scarcity of food, and personal dissensions between the Governor and the military commander, forbade him to look for much assistance ; and, in the midst of victory, he expressed his conviction that in a few months the Fnglish would be masters of the French Colonies in America. 6 ■- ■•■'■ Resolved, however, to struirgle to the last, he actively prepared' for the campaijrn of 1 759. The success of the whole campaign , or, more proj)erly, the conquest of Canada, (lei)endod upon the taking of Quebec, and to protect it, Montcalm had concentrated his principal force on the banks of the Montmorenci River. Being attacked in front by General Wolfe, on July olst, he repelled him with considerable loss- AVolfe then changed his plans ; he landed his troops by night, above Quebec, climbed the table-land that overhanj^s the city, and on the morning of 13th September, 1759, appeared with his whole force on the Heights of Abraham, in the rear of the French army. Montcalm led the attack in person, but his troops broke before the deadly fire and unflinching front of the British; and, when Wolfe gave the order to charge with baj'onets^ the French tied in every direction. The gallant British General fell in the moment of triumph. Montcalm was mortally wounded a few moments after Wolfe was borne from the field. On being told that his death was near : "So much the better," he said, " I shall not live to see the surrender of Quebec." He died next morning, and his tleath was followed by the loss of all Canada, where his career " had been a wonderful struggle against inexorable destiny." He was buried in the Ursuline Convent at Quebec. 87. Reid, Chief Justice. The Hon. James Reid, was one of the Judges of the Court o Queen's Bench for 33 years ; during 15 of which he presided as chief-justice. No man ever possessed m^^re respect and confidence . during his judicial career; he was regarded as an upright and im- partial judge, his integrity was inflexible. His widow built the west wing of the Montreal General Hospital as a memorial of this worthy citizen. 25-535. Wolfe, General James. Born in England, January loth 172(), the son of Edward Wolfe^ an ofiicer in the British army. He entered the army at an early age, and distinguished himself in several engagements. In 1758, Wolfe was sent on the expedition against Cape Breton, in which Boscawen commanded the sea, and Amherst the land forces, the landing was eflfected on the 8th of June, and Louisbourg surrend- ered on the 26th July. Wolfe soon afterwards returned to England. In 1759, on the formation of the memorable expedition against Quebec, Wolfe received the rank of major-general, and was placed in command of the land forces, the command of the fleet being entrusted to Admiral Saunders. The expedition arrived at the Isle of Orleans on the 26th June, and the months of July and August were sp)ent in repeated unsuccessful attempts to drive the French from their advantageous post near the Falls of Montmo- rency, and here the Enjzilish suffered a repulse o- attempting to effect a landing. After long waiting an opportunity, Wolfe at last succeeded in effecting a landing above the city, and carrying his forces up the cliff to the Plains of Abraham, thus compelling Montcalm to fight The battle was strenuously contested, but itie French at length gave way. Wolfe fell in the hour of victory, and Montcalm also was mortally wounded. Archambault, Rey. p. Cur^ of Vaudreuil. Founded the Congregation of Ste. Anne (the Mother-house now at Lachine) at Vaudreuil. Bellefeuille, Antoine Lefebvre de (1755-1816).

The obituary notice in the European Magazine, published in London, 1801, states : — "He was the first British merchant who '' settled at Three Rivers, after that place was taken by his friend, "General Haldimand, in 1760. From the records of his descend- ants, we gather that he was a Commissariat OfBcer on the staff of General Amherst's invading army. In 1759, he was in New York, and joined the St. Paul's Lodge of Freemasons (the certificate is on exhibition). He settled in Three Rivers, about 17G0, and immedi- ately opened an extensive establishment as an importer from England. He acquired avast amount of property, bequeathing no fiewer than seven seigniories. Had his foresight led him to settle in Montreal, his estate would have been among the largest and wealthiest in the country. He was noted for his scrupulous integrity in his commercial dealings, and was much respected as a leader in society at that day. At his table have dined all the great travellers and historians who were visiting Canada, and he enter- tained in grand style the Duke of Kent, the father of the Queen, on his visit to Three Rivers. He was the first Israelite to settle in Canada. 44. Hart, Ezekiel. Born at Three Rivers, 176^, died there 1843. Was the second son of Aaron Hart. He was very popular, and 9 respected by all classes of the community, li 1807, he was elected to replace the Hon. John Lee- as membe^ of the Legislative Assembly for Three Rivers, deleating by a laige majority Mathew Hell, Col. Thomas C CorHn, an 1 Pierre V^sina, advocate. Mr. Hart declined to take the oath "on the faith of a Christian," the clerk permittinii him to take it in the Jewisii form. Tlie House objected and declared the seat va(^ant. He was agam returned in May, 1808, by an equally lar^re majority over l;is opponents (Messrs. Badeaux, V^sina, and Judge Foucher), but was prevented from taking his seat by a similar resolution, and the House, to avoid a re-election, pressed tho second reading of a Bill to "disqualify Jews *' from being eligible to a seat in the House of Assembly." The third reading was fixed for the 15th May, 1800, wljen the Governor- General (Sir James H. Craig), an intimate friend of the Harts' since ho opposed the American forces at Three Rivers, in 1777, came to the rescue, and in most indignant terms, and to the surprise of the House, dissolved it. " You have dissipated your time," ho said, " in passing acts which appear to be unconstitutional inringe- " ments of the rights of tlie subject, and repugnant to the very " letter c f tlie statute of the Imperial Parliament under which you "hold your seats ; and to have been matured by proceedings which " amount to a dereliction of the first principles of natural justice." For the Parliament of 1809. Mr. Hart, though offered, declined re election, not willing to prolong the strife, or raise religious prejudices. He lived long enough to see (in 1831). at the request of his son, Samuel Becancour Hart, the Act " Cap. 57 Anno primo Gulielmi IV." piissed,by which both became Justices of the Peace, and the further disqualification of Jews was rescinded. It is to the credit of Canada that this act of justice and civiliza- tion was passed 26 years before a similar act became law in the British House of Commons. Mr. Hart was a Militia Officer, and served in the War of 1812. An interesting memoir of this family has been published by Dr Joseph Tas>e and Benjamin Suite in La Revue Ciwadienne, 25th June, 1870. •557. Herrict, Major-General F. 1766-1844.

On the several expeditions despatched with a view of conquering Canada. Lord Howe was selected to command one of the divisions, and he accordingly accompanied them, and for some time, in 1757, he commanded at Halifax ; but on Abercrombie being appointed to 10 the chief command, Howe was attached to his army in command of a party, and he fell in the rash attack on Fort Ticonderoj^a, on July 5th, 1758, his talents were of a high character, and his services were held in grateful remembrance. Ibbotson, Captain H. (P/totograp/i) Born in 1790, and arrived in Canada with his regiment (103rd) in the winter of 1812. They marched from Halifax to Quebec on snow-shoes' traversing a region that was at that time a desert, resting at night witliout any shelter, exposed to the severity of the season.

Having left college, he embraced the literary profession. Amongst his hterary works, he wrote the first History of Canada i in French, since the conquest, the merits of which, though variously estimated, are generally admitted. He is described as having been a laborious writer, and indeed the number of his works proves that he must have been so. He also engaged in more profound scientific studies, and but a few months V)efore his death, he was engaged, at the age of 75, in translating the reports of the geological com- mission. fosEPH Brant. Joseph Thayendaneken, commonly called Brant, a Mohawk Chief. — Frotti an original drawing. Joseph Brant, Thayendanegea. — Painted by G. Catlin, from the original by E. Ames. A celebrated Indian Chief, of pure Mohawk blood, who was at the head of the Six Nations. About the year 1756, he was sent to school by Sir William Johnson, and having received a good edu- cation, he was employed on public business. In 1782, he acted as interpreter to Smith, a missionary. He visited England in 1775, where his attainments attracted attention. In the war, he acted on the side of the British, and destroyed the settlement of Minisink, July 22nd 1779. In the engagement, it is said that forty four of the Americans fell beneath the tomahawk of Brant. The destruc- tion of the settlement of Wyoming was ascribed to him by the poet Campbell, and by other writers, but proofs were presented to the poet in 1822, by one of Brant's sons, making it clear that he was not concerned in that dreadful massacre. Brant visited England a second time after the peace. He translated the Book of Common Prayer, and the Gospel according to St. Mark, into the Mohawk language, which was pub- lished in London, 1787. ' The saddest event of his life, was the death of a son, whom he killed, in self-defence, when making an attempt to murder him. He never recovered from the remorse occasioned by this act, and 36 as an expression of penitence for a deed, which was perhaps un- avoidable, he re-signed liis commission in the British service, and surrendered himself to justice, but Lord Dorchester, the GovernMr of Canada, at the time, would not accept his resignation. He died in 1807, at the age of 65 years. 66o. Duke of Kent. Edward. a. From a painting by Sir IVm Beec/iey. R. A. b. By Armstrong, from an original painting.

A distinguished naval officer, wliose name is allied with that of Wolfe, in the siege of Quebec, as the commander of the squadron acting in connection with the army. The fleet was one of the finest armaments ever fitted out in England and well able to cope with the dangerous service in wliich it was employed. It rendered gieat service to Wolfe, by bombarding the town, and keeping the enemy in constant anxiety ; his skill was admirable in combatting the numerous dangers which the ingenuity of the French com- mander set forth, especially when the fire-ships were dispatched to destroy his fleet. He died in England, in December 1775. 654. SiMCOE, Lieltenant-General, First Governor of Upper Canaaa. From a family portrait, John Graves Simcx)e was bom in 1752, and was the eldest son of < aptain Simcoe of H. M. S. Pembroke, who was killed at the siege of Quebec, in 1759. In his 19th year he entered the army, he was appointed to an ensigncy, and as hostilities had already commenced with America, he was despatched to join his regiment He arrived at Boston on the very day of the battle of Bunker Hill, and afterwards took an active part in the war. He fought at the battle of Brandy wine, and was wounded at that engagement. In 1777, he obtained the command of the Queen's Rangers (a provincial corps, newly formed), who acquired new laurels, an-l were justly celebrated, as was ilieir leader, for their gallant deeds and exploits. During the rest of the war, or until their disband- ment, they bore {)art in nearly every eng£^ement, which took 41 place. Unfortnniitely the regiment was under Lord Torn wallis, and was surrendered l)y that nohleman to the victorious Ame? leans. With the surrender at Gloucester Point, ti)e activ<* existence of the Rauirers terminated. The provincial rank of the officers was retained to them in the British army. 1 he w ar for indejiendence virtually ceased witli the capture of Yorktown, and Colonel Simcoe returned to England, fatij^ued by arduous duties, and preatly impared in his constitution. He was received by the Kin^ and all classes of society in a nuiniier which plainly showed that his services were fully appreciated. He remained in England, until the passing of the bill dividing the province of Quebec, into Upper and Lower Canada, when he wan selected as the first gov- ernor of Upi>er Canada, whither he proceeded in 1791. Up|)er Canada was then a comparative wilderness, and it is hard to picture a more dejected colony. Governor 8imcoe, however, entered ur)()n his duties with a resolute heart. Newark, now Niagara, was made the seat of Government, and a Parliament was Convened as early as the 17th September of the same year. He had the whole country surveyed, and laid out into districts, and invited as much immigration as jwssible. For this purix)se, those who had adhered to the cau.se of England in the revolted Colonies (now the United States), and are known by the sobriquet of United Empire Loyalists, removed to Canada, and received an allotment of land free. Discharged otilcers and soldiers received a portion o^ land gratuitiously,and all possible means were employed to further the projects of the Governor. A Provincial corjis was raised, and Colonel Simcoe was appointed to command it This corps he called the " Queen's Rangers," after his old regiment. In 1796, the seat of Government removed to York (now Toronto), which was, at that time, a collection of shanties ; and this place, Governor Simcoe determined, should be the capital of the Province. He accordingly, with that intention, improved the site and vicinity of the projected city to a great extent. Roads were constructed so that a proper communication could be kept up between town and countrv. In 1794, Simcoe was promoted to the rank of Major-General, and in 1795, he was appomted Governor of St. Domingo. He died in England in 1806, at the comparatively early age of 54, having served his country for many years in a variety of occupations. €56. WoosTER. David. Engraved by J.

In the library of the Anierican Antiquarian Society at Wor- cester, Mass. there is a large collection of most interesting and valuable historical manuscripts, among them are a number of letters relating to the Expedition against Canada in 1775- 70. — the following may be regarded of sutlicient interest to be reproduced here: — N. York, Fbbr'y vb 28tii 1776. Sir, — I am to inform ye that I am appointed l)y the Continental C3ngre8S, to the command of the Troops in Canada. I hope and dare say we shall all agree well together. I must request you immediately to contract and grind into flour twenty thousand bushels of wheat I must also desire that you will suffer the Merchants of Montreal to send none of their woolen Cloths out of the Town — th3 post is just going out, I must therefore conclude. Sir. Yours, CHARLES LEE, Major General. I have ordered twelve twelve-pounders from Crown Point to Sorrel. I leave it to your discretion whether it would not be prudent before it is too late in the season to send to the Falls of , where it appears to me you ought to establish a Post.

Scott. 658. Maisonneuve, Paul de Ohomedy, Steur de. The founder of Montreal, landed at Pointe-A-Callieres May 17th, 43 1642, and was apiK)inted Governor. He managed the new settle* ment with great success. In lt)47, he was advanced to the governor- Bhip of the province, but succeeded in getting M. D'Ailleboust &\y pointed in his stead. A violent jealousy and vindictiveness existed on the part of Governor De M^sy against De Maisonneuve, and to him is ascribed the causes which led to his retirement. He returned to France, and died there in 1679, in a state bordering- upon indigence. AUTOGRAPHS. (Exhibited by Mr. H. Mott.)

He was the firet, after Jacquos Cartier, to attempt the coloniza- tion of New France. lie set out in 1542, but his expeilition was atten(le. 4. M. Charles Hualt De Movtmagny — {Autograph only.) He succeeded I)e Chdteaufort in 1()36. During his administra- tion the settlement of Montreal was established. He sought to imitate Champlain's policy with regard to the aborigines; and if the insufficient means at his disposal did not always enable him to carr}' out his views, he contrived nevertheless, by a union of firm- ness with conciliation, to make his authority respected among all the tril)e8. He was succeeded by D'Ailleboust in 1647. 5. M. Louis D'Ailleboust. He succeeded De Montraagny as Governor of the colony. He 46 originally came to Canada with colonists for the Island ^f Mont- real. He administered tliat settlement during the absence of M. de Maisonneuve, and was afterwards promoted to the government of Three Rivers. Replaced in 1651, he settled in the country, and died i.t Quebec in 1660. 6. Jean de Lauzgn. He was one of the principals of Richelieu's company, and suc- ceeded M. D'Ailleboust. The affairs cT the colony were not very promising, the Iroquois were increasing in audacity and harassing the French at all points. So dangerously beset was the settle- ment at Montreal, that De Maisonneuve, the local Governor, went to France in search of succour, whence he returned in 1653 with a reinforcement of 105 men. A succession of changes now took place in the government ; De Lauzon was succeeded by his son, who in turn gave way to the former governor, D'Ailleboust, who was superseded in IboS by Viscount D'Argenson. 7. Pierre de Voyer D'Argenson (Viscount D'Argenson). The day after he landed, the Iroquois massacred some Algon- quins under the very guns of Quebec, and escaj^ed from the 200 French who were sent in pursuit He retained his appointment until 1661. His government seems to have consisted of little else than barbaric invasions, and ^'ivil and religious quarrels. Disease and misunderstandings compelled him to soUcit his recall. He died about the year 1700. 8. Pierre du Bots, Baron D'Avaugovr. He succeeded D'Argenson, in 1661. He was of a resolute tem- perament and brought into the affairs of Canada the rigidity that he had contracted in the military service ; and during the whole time he held office in New France, he ha^. constant disputes with Bishop Laval, principally with reference to the liquor traffic, which the latter wished to prohibit. At length, through the Bishop's re- presentations, D'Avaugour was recalled in 1663. 9. AuGUSTiN deSaffray-Mesy. Was appointed in 1663. He was a man of haughty and obstinate temper, and having quarrelled with his Council, he took upon him- self to send back to France two of its principal members — an arbi- trary act which procured his own recall ' 1665. He died at Quebec, however, before the dispatch arrive^. The Marquis de Tracy arrived at Quebec in 1665, as Viceroy and Lieule ian!>-Geueral ; Db Coukcelles was named under him as Governor, and Jean Talon as Intendant The Viceroy brought with him the Carignan regiment and a large body of settk Sw 4T Prompt measures were taken against the Iroquois, and three forts were erected on the Richelieu, so as to cover the French settle- ments—one at Sorel, one at Chambly, and the third nine miles higher up the river. Most of the officers ot the Carignan regiment settled in the country, antl received grants of land with seignorial tenure from the King. Having placed the colony in a state of defence, the Viceroy re- turned home in 1667, leaving 10. Daniel de Remy de Courcelles. At the head of the Government. Before his leaving, De Tracy had concluded a peace with the Indians, which lasted for eighteen years, and during his ter ii of office trade monopoly was abolished. De Courcelles, by skilful diplomacy, averted a threatened Indian war. He had fixed upon Cataraqui, near the present site of Kings- ton, Out., as an eligible point for the erection of p fort for the pro- tection of the fur traders and to che^k Indian incursions. He visited the spot in person, but was so much injured in health by exposure and hardehip, that on his return to Quebec he desired to be relieved from the burden of office in 1672. ' 11. Louis de Buade, Count de Paluan and De Frontenac. Assumed the government in 1672. He caused the fort at Cataraqui to be built imm* diately, and gave it his own name, Frontenac. During this administration an expensive scheme of exploration was planned by the Intendant Talon. Fnntenac was a bold and valorous soldier and a most successful :/'ministrator, but principally on account of some despotic acts, he was recalled in 1682. In 1689, he was reappointed governor, and in 1690, he defeated Sir William Phipps and the English fleet before Quebec, thus achieving a great victory, in commemoration of which Louis XIV ordered a mecial to be struck. He died in 1698, and was inhumed in the Recollet Church at Quebec, which no longer exists. 12. M. Le Febvre de La Barre. In 1682 M. de La Barre arrived as Governor, and M. de Meules as Intendant. His general management of affairs was extremely bad, and in consequence of dissatisfaction felt at his want of suc- cess he was recalled in 1685, and he left the province without regret. 13. Jacques Rene de Brisav, Marquis de Denonville. Governor from 1685 to 1689. He was specially selected on ac- count of his distinguished valour. DoubtUss he was brave, but he was liable to receive wrong impressions of affairs, and an imperfect 48 knowledge of the relations subsisting between the French and the savage races, led him to commit acts which violated the principles of equality. He kidnapped a num>M'r of Indian chiefs, and send them to France to work in the galleys, at a time when tliey were bound on a peaceful mission to himself. He thus excited against himself and the French a spirit of hate and detestation in the heart of the red men— a feeling which culminated in the frightful " Mas- sacre of Lachine''— 1400 Iroquois laid waste tlie island of Montreal, slaughtering all who opposed them, and carrying off 200 prisoners. Denonville hud a speculative, rather than an energetic mind, and was not prompt in action. Few governors ever set down more sage maxims for administration, yet fewer left it in a sadder plight. At this crisis, French Canada was virtually reduced to the forts at Montreal, Three Kivers, and Quebec, with the post at Tadou.«8ac. When atfairs were at this extremity, the government was en- trusted for the second time to the ex{^rienced hands of the Count DE Froxtenac, who returned from France in 1689, bringing with him the Iroquois chiefs whom his predecessors had so basely en- trapped. By restoring these captives, the Indians were for a time pacified, and his defeat of the English fleet under Sir William PLipps, {see ante) in a great measure restored the influence of ti»o Frtnch. 14. Louis Hector de Callieres. (^Autograph on/y.) In 1698, the veteran Froiitenac died at Quebec, aged 78, and wa8SvicceededbyM.de Callieres, Commandant of Montreal. In 1701, a temporary pacification and alHance of all the Indian tribes was eti'ected by him. In the same year the war of the Spanish Succession broke out in Europe, and England soon conceived the design of annexing to herself the whole of the North American Continent. De Callieres held the appointment of governor until his c'eatli at Quebec in 1703. 15. Philippe de Rigaud. Marquis de Vaudreuil. On the death of I)e Callieres, the colonists {)etitioned for th9 appointment of the Marquis de Vaudreuil. which Louis xiv wiMing- ly graute<^ He tirst came to Canada several years earlier as com- mander of the forces, bringing with him 800 men. With 300 of these he Ment to the relief of the "Massacre of Lachine," and also served under De Frontenac in the grand ex|)edition against the Iro lois. In 1690, he was engased in the defence of Quel)er^ against the attack of .\dmiral Phipps. In 1702, he obtained a seigniory, and was apjxiinted Governor of Montreal. He was married at Quebec, to the daughter of Chevalier de Soulanges ; this marriage was viewed with dissatisfaction by the French ministry, who did not wish him, nor any of the governors, to ally 49 themselves with the colonists. After the accession of Louis xv, he effected miivierous reforms in the colony, the most imi)ortant being an improvement in education. In 1714—10, the government whs administered by Claude de Rame/ay, iluring the absence of Vandreuil. After a rule of twenty-two years, Vandreuil ilied at Qaebcc on October loth, 1725, universally regrettense«iuence of the inroads which the Oiitagamis were making on the un])rotected colonists, he found it necessary to take steps to check them. A small ex- pedition was organised, composed of the colonists, who pursued tlie savages as far as where the city of Chicago now stands, and to the Mississippi. They met with the Indians and signally defeated them, well nigh exterminating the tribe. When war was declared between England and France, and tlie conquest of Canada and the other French colonies was resolved on by the former, and when only a feeble force was at his disposal, Beauharnois strengthened the several weak positions of the coun- try, and founded tlie impregnable Crown Point. By his entreaties he prevailed on the Ministry to send an expedition to recapture Cape Breton and to drive the English from the West Indies. Had this exhibition been commanded by a competent officer, great damage would certainly have been dune to the Enghsh forces both V»y land and sea. As it happened, the French tleet was annihilated by violent storms, which the inexperienced commander (D'Anville) was unable to contend with. Beauharnois was succeeded in 174i)-7 by M. de La Jonquiere. 17. Roland Michel Barrix—CoUxNT de la Galisonniere {A/ao- graph only.) The Marquis de La Jon«iuiere, Admiral of France, wa^i appointed 4 50 Governor in 1740; but on the outward voya«:e, his fleet was inter- cepted by Admiral Anson and Rear Admiral Warren. The French were defeated in the engagement which ensued, and the new Governor of Canada was taken prisoner. Upon the capture becom- ing known in France, the Count de La (lalisonniere was commis- sioned to till the vacancy so created. He administered the Government of New France from 1747 to 1749, during the imprisonment in England of Admiral de La Jonquiere. and, although ruling for little more than two years, he thoroughly studied the condition of Canada. He was a distinguished marine otficer. active, energetic and enlightened as a civilian, and spent in scientific pursuits such leisure as his public duties allowed him. He gave a strong impulse to the administration, as well as much good counsel; which, had it been followed, might possibly have praserved Canada for sorce time longer to France. His administration and scientific; talents even surpassed his genius for active war. He died at Nemours, October 2(>th, 1756. Men of science lost a brother by his decease, for he was a devoted student of natural history. Whatever foreign Iwalities he visited, he endowed with the most useful plants of Old France, and rendered to her, in exchange, whatever was likely to enrich her from the New World and other foreign parts. La Gallsonniere had a great heart, seated in a mean body, for he was both low in stature and deformed in person. 1 8. Jacques Pierre de Taffanel, Marquis de La Jonquiere. He reached Canada in 1749, and the Count thereupon resigned his trust and returned to France. La Jonquiere was born about 1686, and had served his country with great distinction, having risen to the rank of Admiral in the Navy. His government was marked by coiisiderablo firmness, and he carried out generally the policy of La Gali^-onniere. He solicited his recall in 1751, in consequence of some charges relative to his monopoly of the peltry traffic, preferred against him by the Jesuits, to which the Ministry gave credence ; but, before he could receive it, his bodily powers, affected by mental irritation, and impaired by age and the fatigue of an over active career, gave way, and he died at Quebec, May 17th, 1752, and was buried in the Hecollet Church, alongside of Frontenac and Vaudreuil. He tarnished his reputation by an inordinate love of wealth, and his avarice laid him open at last, after accumulating a large for- tune, to the attacks which hastened his death. Although possessed of millions, lie denied himself, it may be said, tlie necessaries of life, even in his last moments. He was replaced temporarily by Charles Le Moyne, Baron de Longueuil (son of him formerly men- tioned), at the time Governor of Montreal. 61 19- Marquis Duquesne de Menneville. A brave and judicious Governor, who during three most impor- tant years (1752-55) pursued such a firm and vigorous policy, as to call forth the admiration of the people of Canada and his native country. He was descended from the great Ducjuesne, grand-ad- miral of France, under Louis XIV. He was a captain in the navy, and was recommended to his appointment by La Galisoniere. He introduced great reforms in the colony, placed the colonial troops on a par with the European, by constant drilling and study ; he erected forts in the far west for the protection of the country, and he resisted the encroachments of the English and colonial troops. Whether it was that he found the speck of war, which was at the time rising on the horizon, too great a task for him to resist with the means at his disposal, or whether he had some prophetic warning of the ultimate destiny of New France, and so wished to avoid so great a responsibility, it is not possible to say ; but he solicited his recall on the plea that be wished to return to active duty. 20. Pierre-Francois, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal. The last Governor of Canada under French domination, and un- doubtedly one of the best He was a son of the former governor of the same name, and was born at Quebec in 1698. He was ap- pointed in compliance with the wishes of the people, who remem- bered his father's happy administration. In 1733, he was appointed governor of Three Rivers, and in 1743, of Louisiana, in both of which positions he was greatly popular. In 1748, he succeeded to his father's title ; and in 1755, was elevat- ed to the appointment of Governor of New France. Montcalm did not act in concert with him. The jealousy, or rather the contempt, with which Montcalm regarded M. de Vaudreuil, certainly tended in a great measure, to hasten the downfall of the French rule in America. Vaudreuil was a true Frenchman, bold and energetic in his measures, and yet wise and judicious in carrying them out. This was clearly manifested when he capitulated to Amherst, notwith- standing the intention of De Levis to hold out with his scanty for- ces to the last ; a determination which Vaudreuil saw was hopeless, and would involve the needless desrmction of Montreal, and the loss of many lives. He therefore pursued the wisest course, and no one can justly impeach his loyalty or patriotism in so doing. After his return to France, he was imprisoned in the Bastille, on some charges preferred against him by the friends of Montcalm, but a trial before the Ch^telet de Paris exonerated him from these, and from all blame in his administration of the affairs of Canada. He was released from imprisonment, but stripped of nearly all his worldly possessions. He died in 1764. MISCELLANEOUS. {Exhibited by Mr. R. C. Lyman.)
