AM entitled "Courtes reflexions Sur l'Etat présent de la Religion dans le Canada" and marked "Confidentiel." It contains a history of the Sulpician Seminary of Montréal, mentioning Olier, [Le Ragois] de Bretonvilliers, their missions among the natives, and explaining the seigneurial rights enjoyed by the Seminary and its Superior. According to the writer, both the British government and the abp. of Québec, Duplessis [recte Plessis], are trying to take possession of the goods of the Seminary.

The British government ordered that no French Sulpicians could join the Seminary, although later an agreement was negotiated by the bp. of Saint-Pol-de-Léon [La Marche] and Pitt [1759-1806] by which 14 [recte 13?] French Sulpicians [J.-B.-C. Bédard, Sauvage de Chatillonet, Garnier Des Garets, Humbert, Le Saulnier, Malard, Molin, Nantet, Rivière, Robin, Roux, Sattin, Thavenet] went to Canada in 1792-3 [recte 1792-4]. Similarly, the abp. of Québec wants to prevent priests from joining the Seminary or to be enabled to withdraw Sulpicians from the Seminary for his own use; he also imposed upon the newly-elected bp. of Telmissus, Lartigue, to reside in the Montréal Seminary, although his presence would be more useful in one of the churches south of the St. Lawrence River.

As examples of what might soon happen in Canada, the scandals of New York and Philadelphia are mentioned.
