(\t»7& ) A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF CANADA.Written in l811.¦HE name of Canada wjj originally applied, by Europeans, to the land on the louth-weftern fhores of the Gulph of St.Lawrence, and on both lides of that River, from its mouth to l'ome diftancc above Quebec.The RiverSt.Lawrence, itfelt, was called la Grande Riviere du ( artada.The name was afterwards extended to all the countries which were explored by adventurers from the feulements along the River.The whole of the French putréfiions in North America were, latterly, comprehended under the name of New France.CjtuJj, as it is generally undtrftood at the pre-fent day, is bounded to the eaft by the Gulph ot St.Lawrence ar.d the country on the Labrador Coatt annexed in 1809 to the government of Newfoundland ; to the north, by the territory of the Hudfon\u2019s Bay Company ; to the welt, by undefined boundaries, but which may be 1\u2019uppofed to extend, by virtue of occupation by the Fur Traders, and the discoveries of M'Kenzie, to the Pacific Ocean to the fouth, it is bounded by unexplored countries & the United States of America, to wit : the north-weft territory, the Michigan territory, the States of Ohio, Pcnnl\u2019ylvama, Ncw-York, Vermont, New-Hampftnre, the DiltriCt ot Maine, and by the Britifh Proviuce of Ne w-Brunlwick.The divifion line on the fouth, from the Grand Portage on Lake Superior, runs through the Great Lakes and down the St.Lawrence to latitude 45, and thence along that line to Connecticut River, from thence it follows the highlands which feparate the waters running into the Saint Lawrence and the Atlantic, till it reach due north of the st Croix River, the boundary between the United States &.New-Brunfwick.The whole of this extent of country, as far as it was then explored, was, from 1774 to 1791, under ( 177 ) the Government of the Province of Quebec.rn 1791 it was divided into Upper and Lower-Canada, by a boundary commencing it Pointe au Boder, cm Lake saint Francis, about 55 miles above Montreal, and running northerly to the Ottawa River, and up that River to its fource in Lake Tomiscamtng, and thence due north to the Hudfon\u2019s Bay boundary.Lower-Canada lies between the 45th and 50th degree of north latitude, and the 02d and 8id degree* of weft longitude, from Greenwich.The ealtern halt ot the country is mountainous, and general y uncultf-vable.On the fouth ftiore or the faint Lawrence, the mountains do not recede conliderably from the River, till within about 60 miles below Quebec j they then run in a fouth-wefterly and fouthern ftiredlion ti.l they reach Lake Champlain $ on the weftern fide or this lake, they extend north-wefterly, in the direction of the great rapids of the St.Lawrence, On the north fhore, they can hardly be faid to leave the river till they ie , however, another Cprci**», a bearded wheal, which ripen in three months ; the time oats require.Fair and foul weather were formerly more diftin£l than they are at oreCent \\ ctld and warm weather were lets intermixed, and the winds lef\u2018variable.This alteration is not con-édered, in Canada, a- an improvement of the climate.All the vegetable Produ&ionj which thrive in the same latitudes in Europe, proCpcr in Canada, whenever they have been introduced, and cultivated with judgment and care.The cxccfs of heat in Cummer, makes up for the deficiency of time.Melons are brought to maturity in rhe open air, without the aid of artificial heat.Wheat is the chief agricultural production of Lower-Canada.It afford* the principal vegetable food of the inhabitants.Hitherto, it has been cultivated more in that view, than as an article of foreign trade.The many accidents to which this grain is liable, requires that a quantity fufficient to afford a fupply in the event of a bad year, be fown every year.When a good year happens, there is then a great furplu^ ; and it is of the produce of luch years, that the moft extensive exportations have been made.There is befides no certainty of an extenfive foreign demand.Spain and Portugal and the Weft Indies, are the moft fteady markets $ but the natural difadvantages which Canada labours under, prevent h-r from ftanding a competition in thofr markets with the United States.It mull be obferved, however, that the quantity of wheat fown by each farmer, is, generally, to the extent of his pre-fent means.Thefe can only be increafed by moie enlarged views, which would lead to greater efforts, and judicious improvement; in his fyitem, or rather routine, of cultivation.The greateft quantity of wheat ever exported from Canada, was in 1802.Itamount-ed to 1,010,033 bulhels.There were befides exported that year, 28,301 barrels of flour, and 22,031 cwt. ( lâi ) ot bifcuit.Animal food has generally been furnWJied in abundance in L, Canada.Tiae proof of this is, that the price has been much lower here than in any other part of North America.But, for four or five years back, the demand for lumber from Canada, the confe.quent h gh price of labour, the mcreafe f confumers, and the «agnation of the American trade, has effciftcd a great rile in the price of this article, as well as of vegetable food, and enabled foreigners to enter into competition with the inhab.tants of Canada, even ira their own markets.The value of the exportations from the St, Lawrence in 1810, has been eft, mat'd by mercantile men, at 1,200,000 pounds fterlitag, include ing dilhurferaents of (hips employed in th ¦ trade, the number of which was 661, meta 657g, tonnage 143892, and alto the value of 5896 tons of new (h ps built in the Province, A confi ierable proportion of the produce of the United States, end all rhe Fucs .burned in the Indian Countries, are included in the general a-ir.ount.The price of labour, In the towns, for four years part, may b; eftrrate ' at ^ (four.fifths or a.dollar) per nay, through.Lt the ar; one half of which fum has been paid for hoard ani lodging.Bread has been at about 2{d.per lb.and b ef 5b.Canada was Discovered its the year 1535, by Jacques Cartier, a n itive of St- M- lu, ,n France.He had explored the Gulph of St.Lawr'nce the preceding year and carried off from Gaipc (Cacheté) two of the natives of the country touad Quebec.The next year they ferved fym a interpreters.On the 8th Septem-bcr> 15 Ji> he arrived irvhis boa's at Qjiebec, in learch of a place 10 lay up his veffels fur the winter, and he fixed upon the R,ivet St Charles On the 14:11, his vellcls, the Grande Hermine, of 1 ao tons, the Pcbrc Hermine, of So, and the Eneiillut, of 40 tons, arrived from the lower end of the llland of Orleans, whee he hsd left them.On the loch he laid up the two lar-cft ( '82 ) to winter, and on the 19th proceeded in the Emerillon towards Montreal j but left her at the upper end of Lake St.Peter, and arrived at Hocbelaga, the name of the Indian town then at Montreal, on the 2d October.On Tuefday the 5th he left it, and arrived on Monday the nth at the Harbour of St, Croixy the name he had given to the mouth of the River St.Charles, in honour of the Saint whofe anniverfary is celebrated on the day his veflels firft arrived there.On the 15th Nov.his /hips were frozen in, and the whole river, foon after, was frozen over to above Montreal.About the 2295 ) «Members, two lor the county, one for Wm.Henry, Bedford.Beginning at the eaft-fide of Sorel from Rouvnle, eaft bounds to lin* 450 ;
