The Chiefs and Warriors in the first class, are those who serv- 

 ed in the l.ist war. The numbers, in 1847 are taken from tho 

 Quebec Gazette. The apparent increase in 1846 is due to the 

 jiermanent settlement of many Indians within the Pi'ovince, 

 previously residing beyond its limits, and was occasioned, as is 

 ■well known, by 'he objection made on the part of the United 

 States to our continuing to supply arms and ammunitioirto friend-, 

 ly natives belonging to their territory, the details of the tabic 

 however, when they are comparable, give satisfactory grounds 

 for supposing that as regards the small portion of the Indian race 

 inhabiting Canada, the worst is over. They appear to be slight- 

 ly on the increase, and are at the same time acquiiiug to some 

 extent, the habits of civilized life.* 



The following Table, of the number of Indians in Lower Can- 

 ada, is taken from tho Report presented to the Legislative 

 Assembly, 1845, (Journal 1844-5 — App. 2) to which reference 

 has been made before : — •
