320 APPENDIX.Shirley to Newcastle, 31 May, 1746.(Extract.)"... I would beg Leave to observe to your Grace, y* theDanger to his Majesty's garrison arises chiefly from withinthe heart ofthe government itself, the Inhabitants & neighboringIndians whose Numbers are sufficient of themselveswith a small assistance from Canada & the help of a properTrain of Artillery, slipt up the Bay in small Vessells (w^''would give 'em great Encouragement to take up Arms ag' thegarrison) to reduce it. However while the Attempt againstCanada is depending, that will certainly go far towards holdingthe Inhabitants of Nova Scotia in suspense, till the successof it is known; & I hope by next Spring they mayeither be put upon a better foot of Subjection, or the mostdangerous among 'em removed. ..."Shirley to Newcastle, 18 June, 1746.(Extract.)" . . .1 may assure your Grace y* one of the principalmotives I had to desire I might succeed General Phillipsin his Command, was the hopes I have of it's putting it inmy power to promote his Majesty's Service in his Provinceof Acadie, or Nova Scotia by securing the fidelity & Allegianceof the Inhabitants there to his Majesty's Governmentin the best manner, and thereby preventing the French frommaking themselves masters of it, the Acqiiisition of w'^.'* tothem with the help of the Indians would likewise endangerthe Loss of the Province of New Hampshire & the MastCountry to his Majesty Avith the Fishery of the Acadie orCape Sable's Shoar, including that ofCanso, to his Subjectshere in present, & should not Canada be reduc'd, would enablethe enemy to harrass & Diminish all his Majesty's Colo-
,APPENDIX. 321nies & on the Continent, & have an inevitahle Tendency tomake themselves masters of the whole of it in time; not tomention the Continual Danger, vr'^^ their possession of NovaScotia would atNewfoundland to.the same time expose Cape Breton & even" The Considerations have induc'd me to take the Libertyof submitting it to your Grace, whether itmight not be forhis Majesty's Service, that before the six Regiments to beemploy'd ag^ Canada returnto England, orders may be sentthat such part of 'em as shall be thought necessary to assistin removing the most obnoxious ofthe French Inhabitantsof Nova Scotia from thence, should be employ'd in thatService, w'^.'' would not take up much time; I am not certainwhether a suflEicient Strength might not be spar'd fromthe Garrison at Louisbourg a short time for this purposew''?' if it could, would make the Assistance of any otherTroops needless." And I would particularly submit it to your Grace'sConsideration, whether in case of any Disappoinment inthe present Attempt for the reduction of Canada, the immediateremoval of some at least of the French Inhabitants ofNova Scotia, & securing the province in the best mannerwould not be . . . adviseable and even necessary." If your Grace should think this deserves so much ofyour Attention there will be time enough for transmittinghis Majesty's Commands to me upon it before the presentExpedition is over." I am with the most Dutifull Regard" My Lord Duke" Your Grace's most Devoted" & most obedient Servant"W. Shirley."21
