It will not be necessary to go through all the testimonies which your own records have given to the truth of my resolutions; I will only refer you to the places in the journals: Vol. XXVII.--16th and 19th May, 1757. Vol. XXVIII.--June 1st, 1758--April 26th and 30th, 1759--March 26th and 31st, and April 28th, 1760--Jan. 9th and 20th, 1761. Vol. XXIX.--Jan. 22d and 26th, 1762--March 14th and 17th, 1763.

After a severe struggle, finding himself outflanked and in danger of being surrounded by superior numbers, he retreated to the city. In that encounter the English lost 1,000 men, the French still more. Then the English were besieged by the French. At about the middle of May a British fleet arrived at Quebec, and M. de Levi was compelled to abandon the siege and fly
