fterwards he
trusted we would partake of some refreshment. He also offered us the use
of his carriages. The refreshment was a truly royal repast,--we eat on
silver,--the table groaned, as Mr. Heathfield would say, under the
king's hospitality. We made a famous dinner,--pine apple, champagne,
claret, &c.--servants in royal liveries behind our chairs. After dinner
the Indians gave us the war song, when, (in your uncle Savery's poetry
about Maria Easy,)

"Tho' the dogs ran out in a great fright,
The ladies rushed in with much delight."

[NOTE.--These four Indians came to England for the purpose of
endeavouring to recover lands which had been given to their tribe by
Louis the Sixteenth, but it appears that they did not succeed. They were
very pious Roman Catholics, and those who saw them were much amused with
their simple and primitive manners.--ED.]

_Extract of a Letter from Walter Bromley, Esq., dated London, 15th
April, 1825.--From a Halifax N.S. newspaper_.

[The Indian chief, who accompanied me to England, sailed in
the Ward, for New Brunswick, a few days ago, loaded with
presents to his family and people. I think his appearance here
has been more beneficial than if volumes had been printed on
Indian civilization, and I am in hope that on both sides of
the Atlantic a general sympathy has been excited. The four
Canadian chiefs have attracted much attention, and have been
presented to his majesty by the brother of the late General
Brock; they are the most interesting characters I ever
saw--are extremely polite--and speak French fluently.]

_Mrs. (Lieut.-Colonel) Eliot[140] to her sister, in Guernsey_.

QUEBEC, January 12, 1831.

With my kindest love to the Tuppers, tell them that I often
see Colonel Glegg, who was Sir Isaac Brock's aide-de-camp: he
is now Lord Aylmer's civil secretary, and we meet very often.
He speaks affectionately of his old patron, and has made many
inquiries relative to the family: the tears come into his eyes
when he talks to me of old times. He and George
(Lieut.-Colonel Eliot) were a great deal together during the
war in the Upper Province. The other day, at dinner at the
chateau, he told me that he had had a visit from Sir Isaac's
old housekeeper, who is still living here in a similar
situation to the House of Assembly, and gets L50 a year
salary
