Mk; it pleafe your Excellency, @&%HE Cangqueft of Canada is (o great ap event, 2" that it wou'd argue the greateit Inferfibility 96T o0 to let it pafs annoticed. - Asa Community we have already paid our grateful Acknowledgments for it to the farpreme Direftor of the Univerfe ; and it will be always our Daty to retain a religious Remembraece of it. Witk the fincereft Joy we received yourExcellency’s Cangratulations hercupon, and with cqual Joy we re: turn them. To exprefls our Joy in fome meafure propartioned to the Objeét of it, we beg leave to congratulate ocr Sovereign, Qur Mother-Couatry, our Sifter Colenies and Our felves upon this glorious Fgent.—Our So vereign, to whofe Dominions fo great an Addition is made— Our Mother-Country, whofe Trade and Com- merce will be greatly enlarged : Our Sifter Colonies and Our-felves, whofe Borders are no longer the Scene of Rapine and Slaughter. _If an Addition of Territory,=—if an Increafe of Trade and Commerce,—if internal Peace and Security are Things of any Value, Carada is a valuable Acquifition. The pofleflion of it fecures to Grear Britain immediate Wealth and future Greatnefs : the firft, by a valuable and extenfive Trade ; and the lalt by the future Tran- quility of ber Colonies. On their Tranguility that Greatnefs will depond.—Freed from the Invafions of a favage Foe, they will in Time become full flock’d with Ichabitants ; and the Emigrations that muft then necef- farily take Place, will be the Foundation of other Colo- n'fci till ke Brizih Dominions in America thall be full N A P .

Conntry will be enlarged. A Trade centinually gjowéa.;fi_ which no ciher INetion can interfere With her irl; and which, when carried to the Perfe€lios it is cjpabiz of, will resder ber, in the Article of Traie, ildependent of all Nations. ' Great as this Tiade will one Day be, ber awn In- hebitaats will increafe in Proportion to it : and then the will appear in ail her Glory. : Waat a grand Idea of the fature Wealth and Great- n&ls of Britain dots the Pofleflion of Canada force upan ug! : ‘With great Reafon then your Excellency ealls this Cgr,que[t, « an Bra ever memorable ; from which we Biay date the firm Efablithment of the Briti/s Empire in. North-America. > — We could almoft wifh that Prowidence had referved us for thofe glorious Times. The immediste Confequences, that relult to our. {elves from this Conqueft,we now feel. Our Froutiers, heretafore drench'd in Biood, and made the fhocking Scene of Mafficre and Plunder, now enjoy a perfett Travquitity. But this Trarquility, -if his Majelty’s Arms had not fucceeded in the laft Campaign, would have been of precarious Continvance ; even tho® we had remained in the wodifturbed peffcflion of Lower Canada : for nothing lefs than the compleat Redullion, the intire Poficflicn of that whele Country can fecwe us againft the Evils we hdve fo long experieaced, 8o long as the French couid have held any Part of that Country, their Influence over the /udian: would have continued : and under that Influence, thole Sons of Violence wou!d again be Aftors in the old Tregedy. May this horrid Tragedy ncver be atled ancw ! May the Pofleflion of Canada ever remain with Great ‘Britain | May the Security of our Country be fettled upan the Mof furc and laftisg Foundations. This we promife ourfelver from the V&nfdom and Vigor of his Majefty’s Councile, which Have brought the Norib. American War to fo glorious a Canclufion. This Event gives us the greater Joy as we have coutributed fo largely to effe& it : But our great Ex- ertions, tho' we have partaken of His Majefty’s Baun- ty, we are now labouripg under the Diftreffes of.

We are per- fuaded it will not be difagreeable o bim, to receive the Thanks of his Majety’s Council of this Proviice 5 which we new tender him, through your Excellency, with very great Refpe&. As divine Providence has {ucceeded His Majefty’s Arms in all other Parts of the World, as well as in this, we may now hope for a [peedy Peace. Then anew Scene of Bufirefs will open upon us ; the Improvement of the Country, inflead of the irkfome Tafk of defend- ing it. “'The People of this Frovince, who, as your Exceilency with great Juftice declares, have fo well contribuzed to the one, will chearfully engage in the other. : We are much obliged to your Excel'ency for your Dcclaration, ** thet yan wiil give all poifible Attention to promote the Exertion of ths Fowers of the Province to the beft Purpofes of it’s Wealth and Profperity : " Ard we, on our Part, affure your Excellescy we fhall heartily concur with you in ali Meafures conducive to that End.
