They have ina man- ner demolifhed our Arfencl ; the uniforms which were found there _have been either fold or torn in pieces. The mufkets with their bayonets, pieces of woolen and licen cloth have been fold for a trifie. They have tuined the foundery. In fhor, the miferies of this un- fortunate city are inexpreflible.

The following is the sccount of what zp- Yur’cd to the Surgeons upon opening the body of kis aie Mejefty. Kenfington Palace, O&. 26, 1760. « In obedience to the order tranfmitied to us by the Rt. Hon. Mr. Vice Chamberhin, We the under fign- ed have this day opened and examined the body of his late Majcity, in prefence of Sir Edward Wilmot, Bast. and Dr. Nichols, two ot his late Majefty's phyficians 5 and firft, on opening the Belly, we found all the parts thercin contained in a natural and healthy ftate, except only that on the furface of each kidney there were fome hyda&idcs, or watery bladders, which however, we de- termined could not have been atthis time of any mate- rial confcquence. ‘On opening the Breaft we obferved the pericardiam or bag which contains the heart, to be very much ex- tended, which was owing to a large effufion of blood that had been difcharged theein, from 8 rupture in the Lo . gy Wikab i 1 ANalt!oD Can INtuet o, Ulvias nti ins an! which, when carried tothe Perfeftion itis »anshle of, will render-her, in the Asiicie ¢f Trade, independent of all: Nations, i Great a5 this Trade will one flay be, her own In- habitants will increafe in Proportion to it.: and then (he will appear in all her Glory. What a grand [dea of the future Wealth and Great- nels of Britain does: the Poffeffion. of Canada force upon us &'ith great: Reafon: then your Excellency ealls this Corgueft, * an Ara ever memorable ; from which we: may date the firm Efablihment of the Brivijp Empire in- North- America. — We conld almcft with: that Providence had referved us for thofe glorious Times. The-immediate Corfequeaces, that refuit' to- our- felves front this' Conquaeft,we now feel. Our Frontiers, heretofore drench'd in Biood, and tade the fhocking Scene of Maflzcre and Plunder, now enjoy a pecfe® Tranquility. Bat this Trarquility, if his Majefly’s Arms had not fuccegded'in the lalt Campaign, weuld have Bsen of precarious Continuance ; even tho' we had remained in the undiftwibed poffiffion of Lower Canada : for nathing lefs than the compleat Redution, the intire PoT-flion of that whole Country can fecare is againft the Evils we have {o long exrerienced. So long as the Fremch could have held any Part of that Country, their [nfluence over the Jndiaxns would have c_an;i:.zed + and under that Influsnce, thole Sons of Viclence wou!d again be Ators in the old Tragedy. May this horrid Tragedy never be acted anew ! May the Poffeflion of Carada ever remain with Griat Britain | May the Security of our Couontry be fettled upon the Mot fure and latting Foundations. This we promife ourfeiverfrom the Wildom and Vigor of his Majslty's Councils, which have: brought the Wors. Americar War to fo glorious 2 Conclufion. ¢ This~ Event. gives. us the preater Joy as we'have couiributed fo largely to effe@ it : Bat our great Ex. ertions, tho® we have partaken of His Majeity’s Boun- ty, we are now labouring under the Dikrefles of.
