the St. John and Madawaska rivers, following 

 nearly the route taken by the 8th and 104th 

 regiments, that, in the winter of 1813-14^ 

 marched from Presqu'ile to Long's, round Lake 

 Timiscouata in nine days. From Presqu'ile 

 to St. John's in the Bay of Fundy, one hun- 

 dred and thirty-six miles, the roads are tolera- 

 bly good on both sides of the river. During 

 the summer season the water communication 

 from Lake Timiscouata to St John's is easy, 

 being interrupted only by the Little and Great 

 Falls ; at the former there is a portage of about 

 sixty yards, and at the latter another of about 

 a quarter of a mile. From St. John's, the 

 packet-boat crosses the Bay of Fundy to An- 

 napolis; from thence down to Halifax (one 

 hundred and thirty-three miles) the road is very 

 good, along which travellers may always obtain 

 moderately good accommodation. 



Isle Verte (the seigniory of), in the 

 county of Cornwallis, is bounded in front by 

 the River St, Lawrence, on the south-west by 

 Riviere du Loup (seigniory), on the north-east 

 by Dartigny, and in the rear by waste lands ; 

 two leagues in breadth by two in depth; 

 granted April ^Tth, 1684, to Sieurs Dartigny 

 and La Cardoniere.
