ndians, which is less than the number
given by Vaudreuil.

Bigot says: "Nous avions 13,000 hommes et mille a 1,200 sauvages,
sans compter 2,000 hommes de garnison dans la ville." _Bigot au Ministre,
25 Oct. 1759._

The Hartwell _Journal du Siege_ says: "II fut decide qu'on ne
laisseroit dans la place que 1,200 hommes, et que tout le reste
marcheroit au camp, ou l'on comptoit se trouver plus de 15,000
hommes, y compris les sauvages."

Rigaud, Vaudreuil's brother, writing from Montreal to Bourlamaque
on the 23d of June, says: "Je compte que l'armee campee
sous Quebec sera de 17,000 hommes bien effectifs, sans les sauvages."
He then gives a list of Indians who have joined the army,
or are on the way, amounting to thirteen hundred.

At the end of June Wolfe had about eight thousand six hundred
effective soldiers. Of these the ten battalions, commonly mentioned
as regiments, supplied six thousand four hundred; detached
grenadiers from Louisbourg, three hundred; artillery, three hundred;
rangers, four hundred; light infantry, two hundred; marines,
one thousand. The complement of the battalions was in some cases
seven hundred and in others one thousand (Knox, II. 25); but
their actual strength varied from five hundred to eight hundred,
except the Highlanders, who mustered eleven hundred, their ranks
being more than full. Fraser, in his _Journal of the Siege_, gives a
tabular view of the whole. At the end of the campaign Levis
reckons the remaining English troops at about six thousand (_Levis
au Ministre, 10 Nov. 1759_), which answers to the report of General
Murray: "The troops will amount to six thousand" (_Murray
to Pitt, 12 Oct. 1759_). The precise number is given in the _Return
of the State of His Majesty's Forces left in Garrison at Quebec_,
dated 12 Oct. 1759, and signed, Robert Monckton (Public Record
Office, _America and West Indies_, XCIX.). This shows the total
of rank and file to have been 6,214, which the addition of officers,
sergeants, and drummers raises to about seven thousand, besides
171 artillerymen.

One of the most important unpublished documents on Wolfe's
operations against Quebec is the long and elaborate _Journal
memoratif de ce qui s'est passe de plus remarquable pendant qu'a
dure le Siege de la Ville de Quebec_ (Archives de la Marine). The
writer, M. de Foligny, was a naval officer who during the siege
commanded one of the principal
