The death of the British general is said to have cost the invaders many a life on that day, which otherwise had been spared.

Their loss was 90 killed and about 100 wounded, while that of the British and Indians was 16 killed and 69 wounded.

The victory, though easily won, was complete; but it was felt by the conquerors as a poor compensation for the loss of the British chieftain, thus prematurely cut off in the pride of manhood and in the noon-tide of his career; while the sorrow manifested throughout both provinces proved that those who rejoiced in the failure of this second invasion, would gladly have foregone the triumph, if by such means they could have regained him who rendered the heights of Queenstown memorable by his fall.
Joy's bursting shout in whelming grief was drowned, And Victory's self unwilling audience found; On every brow the cloud of sadness hung,-- The sounds of triumph died on every tongue! "The news of the death of this excellent officer," observed the Quebec Gazette, "has been received here as a public calamity.

His long residence in this province, and particularly in this place, had made him in habits and good offices almost a citizen; and his frankness, conciliatory disposition, and elevated demeanour, an estimable one.
