Lord Sydney to Haldimand. The imprudence of M. Montgolfier and M. Brassier, with respect to the two French priests. The ill effects of a repetition. The proposals of Messr. Adhemar and DeLisle to take out ecclesiastics liable to the same objection, but they may take all the priests necessary from any country unconnected with the Houseof Bourbon. The best way to secure the attachment of the Canadians is to prevent communication with France. The four Savoyard priests expectedand will be sent immediately. Mr. Pownall's arrival with petition for the repeal of the Quebec Act, and provisions in room thereof. The subject will not be hastily decided on. No commercial treaty will be made with the United States detrimental to the Colonies.

His refusal to give up the posts to Baron de Steuben approved of. Their retention will have a good effect on the Indians. The interests of the people of America dictate that they should treat them with kindness, but if they (the Americans) pursue a different course, the Indians will find an asylum in His Majesty's dominions. Difficulties as to dealing with the State of Vermont. Commissioners to be sent to investigate accounts. Claim of the Commissioners for the Chief Justiceship. Plan approved of for settling loyalists at Cataraqui. Mr. Cuyler's wishes as to settling Cape Breton will be forwarded, if the settlement of the island should be thought advisable.

There is no doubt he (Haldimand) will be reimbursed for expenses connected with the loyalists. Hopes that the term for their applications for relief will be extended by the new Parliament. The alterations proposed to the fortifications of Montreal will be considered. Claim of DeCreuzbourg of the Hesse Hanaus. The question of half pay for the provincial corps. Every attention shall be paid to Sir John Johnson's claims. Promotion of Dr. Fisher vice Mabane, and of Jessup's brother vice Jessup, approved of.
