One great object has been accomplished in the house, adding the provincial security to the army money note bill; the province pays the interest accruing upon the notes and the expense of the establishment, and they are constituted a legal tender.
Without this step we were completely at a stand, for we could not obtain money to pay the last month's subsistence to the troops: great benefit is expected to accrue from the operation of the bill.

The clergy have engaged to promote the circulation of the notes, all of which above twenty-five dollars bear interest, and all under are payable on demand.
Adieu, my dear generals--may every success and good fortune attend you in the arduous task before you: we cannot command success, but I am sure you will not fail to merit it.
_Lieut.-Colonel Bruyeres, Royal Engineers, to Major-General Brock._ QUEBEC, August 1, 1812.
I take the favorable advantage of this being delivered to you by General Sheaffe, to assure you of the sincere interest I feel in the very arduous and important position you are now placed in to protect and defend a chain of posts, and a country that has been so long neglected.

This difficult task placed in any other hands, I should consider very discouraging; but I acknowledge that I look with a certain degree of confidence to your abilities and perseverance in surmounting every difficulty that must unavoidably occur in a service of this nature.

I most fervently and earnestly hope that every possible success may attend all your proceedings.

I trust that you will always meet with zeal and activity in the officers of my department, to perform every part of the duty allotted to their charge.
