The boundary of Massachusetts, both on the east and on the north, was clearly defined; extending on the east to the St. Croix, and on the north leaving to the province of Quebec the narrow strip only, from which the water flows into the St. Lawrence. Halifax to the Lords of Trade, 27 September. 1768. Representation of the Lords of Trade to the King, 5 October, 1763. For Canada, or the province of Quebec, as it waQuebec, as it was called, the narrower boundaries, on which Shelburne had insisted, were adopted. All that lay to the west of Lake Nepising, and all the country beyond the Alleghanies, were, by a solemn proclamation, shut against the emigrant, from the fear that remote colonies would claim the independence which their position would favor. England had conquered the west and dared not make use of it. She went to war for the Ohio valley, and having got possession of it, set it apart to be kept as a desert. A

Carlton to Shelburne, 24 Dec. 1767. In the one hundred and ten rural parishes there were but nineteen Protestant families. The rest of the Protestants were a few half-pay officers, disbanded soldiers, traders, mechanics, and publicans, who resided in Quebec and Montreal, most of them fol- chap. X.} 1764.

One member, however, referred with asperity to the votes of New-York and Massachusetts, and the house generally seemed to hold that America was as virtually represented in parliament as the great majority of the inhabitants of Great Britain. Isaac Barre, the companion and friend of Wolfe, sharer of the dangers and glories of Louisburg and Quebec, seemed to admit the power of parliament to tax America, Jared Ingersoll's Correspondence. yet derided the idea of virtual representation. Who of you, reasoning upon this subject, feels warmly from the heart, he cried, putting his hand to his breast, who of you feels for the Americans as you would for yourselves, or as you would for the people of your own native country? and he taunted the house with its ignorance of American affairs, charging those who should hold up their hands for th
