The general thought proper to send you this intelligence, that in case he should be so unfortunate, from the delays of the militia, not to have it in his power to give you timely assistance, you might be able to make the best terms left in your power.
The bearer is a sergeant of the Connecticut forces, and if he is happy enough to get in, will bring advices from you. We keep con- tinual scouts going to endeavor to bring intelligence from you. I am, sir, with the heartiest and most anxious wishes for your welfare, your most obedient, humble servant,

MONTCALM.
M. Jean Pierre de Bougainville addressed the subjoined letter to William Pitt:
To the Right Hon. Wm. Pitt.
SIR: The honor paid during your ministry to the memory of Mr. Wolfe gives me room to hope that you will not disapprove of the grateful efforts made by the French troops to perpetuate the memory of the Marquis de Montcalm. The corpse of that general who was honored with the regret of your nation, is buried at Que- bec. I have the honor to send you an epitaph, which the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres have wrote for him, and I would beg the favor of you, sir, to read it over, and if there be nothing improper in it, to procure me a permission to send it to Quebec, en- graved in marble to be put over the Marquis Montcalm's tomb. If the permission should be granted, may I presume, sir, to entreat the honor of a line to acquaint me with it, and at the same time to send me a passport that engraved marble may be received on board an English vessel, and that Mr. Murray, governor of Quebec, may give leave to have it put up in the Ursuline Church. I ask pardon, sir, for taking off your attention, even for a moment, from your im- portant concerns, but to endeavor to immortalize great men and illustrious citizens, is to do honor to you. I am, etc.,
BOUGAINVILLE.
Paris, March 26th, 1761.
REPLY OF MR. PITT.
Sir : It is a real satisfaction to me to send you the king's consent on such an interesting subject, as the very handsome epitaph drawn by the Academy of Inscriptions at Paris, for the Marquis de Mont- calm, which is desired to be sent to Quebec, engraved on marble, to be set up on the tomb of that illustrious warrior. The whole senti- ments expressed in the desire to pay this tribute to the memory of their general, by the French troops who served in Canada, and who saw him fall at their head, in a manner worthy of him and worthy of them, cannot be too much applauded.
I shall take pleasure, sir, in facilitating a design so full of respect to the deceased, and as soon as I am informed of the measures taken for embarking the marble, I shall immediately give the passport you desire, and send orders to the governor of Canada for its recep- tion. As to the rest, be assured, sir, that I have a just sense of the obliging things said to me in the letter with which you honored me, and that I think it a singular happiness to have an opportunity to

express those sentiments of distinguished esteem and consideration with which I have the honor to be, etc.,
W. PITT. April 10th, 1761.
This correspondence, so graceful and dignified, and worthy the exalted subject, resulted in the engraving of the magnificent epi- taph annexed by the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres of Paris :

APPENDIXES.
The letter of Montcalm from which extracts are introduced in the text is copied by Carlyle in his Frederick the Great (vol. v, pages 149-51) from a work by Beatson entitled Plains of Abra- ham which embraces a correspondence ranging from 1757 to 1759 between M. M. Berryer and De La Mole and Montcalm. The genuineness of these letters has been questioned, but Carlyle uses them without dissent, and in my view they are impressed by inhe- rent evidences of authenticity. My limits only permit me to reproduce in addition to the extracts in the text, the closing para- graphs copied by Carlyle :
"So confident am I of what I write that I will allow but ten years after the conquest of Canada to see its fulfillment.
"Thus as a Frenchman do I to-day console myself for the danger so imminent and pressing of seeing this colony lost to my country."
The courtesy of an eminent scholar and jurist of Canada (the Honorable Charles Mondelet of the court of appeals) has enabled me to subjoin some valuable particulars connected with these events.
M. Jean Pierre de Bougainville, the elegant correspondent of Pitt, was brother to Colonel Bougainville, the protege and aide of Montcalm, and the great circumnavigator. In accordance with the wishes of the French troops, animated by their ardent sentiments, in which the memory of Montcalm was cherished, Bougainville caused the inscription to be prepared by the Academy and engraved it is supposed upon a marble slab designed for a mural monument to be placed in the church of the Ursulines at Quebec. It is believed that in pursuance of the assent of the British government, the slab was sent to Canada, but no traces or vestige of it now exist.
