June 6th. The General having directed Major-General Phillips to take the 
Department of Artillery and Corps of Engineers under his Command. 
He is assured the utmost harmony and good disposition will subsist between 
the two corps, so very necessary for His Majesty's service. 
Major Williams being commanding officer of the detachment of artillery 
under Major-General Phillips, will have the ordering all details and ordinary 
duties, and he will receive his orders from and report to Major-General 
Phillips on all occasions. Major Gordon will make such arrangements in 
the Corps of Engineers as he shall see proper, and will be so good to 
order an officer to receive orders from the major of brigade every day. 
The major-general informs the officers that in common detail duties he means 
to adhere to a roster , hut in particular cases not , as he shall always employ 
such officers as he shall think most proper from experience in the service , and 
he makes no doubt but the young and newly appointed officers will use 
every means to make themselves intelligent in the service, and by activity and 
a strict attention to their duty, render themselves useful and good officers ; 
and does assure them, he shall study to give them every possible mark of 
regard and favour accordingly. The major-general relies on the captains 
for the strictest attention to their subalterns and men, that they will dis¬ 
courage all ideas of difficulties, and prepare them for a fatiguing campaign, 
which the major-general is assured will be entered upon with zeal and 
pursued with all manner of activity, subordination, and strict discipline. 
June 7th. Second Lieut. Collier will act as secretary to Major-General 
Phillips during this campaign, all orders signified by him from the 
major-general are therefore to be obeyed. 
June 8th. Major Gordon on compleating two armed boats and having given 
such orders relating to the rest, as also with regard to the large boat, so 
that the compleating of the whole may go on under the direction of the engineer 
who is left at Quebec, will set out as soon after as he pleases for the army. 
He will direct engineer Wade to take such plans, and make such inspection 
of the works at Quebec as may be necessary to form a report for the General 
of the present situation of the place, so that arrangements may be taken to 
put it into that state of defence as may be thought proper. 
Captain Jones will remain at Quebec, taking upon him the command of the 
Garrison Artillery. 
German additional gunners at Quebec are to receive 6d. per day, and non¬ 
commissioned officers 7d. per day. 
As all orders in detail go through Major Williams, he is to have an officer 
constantly attached to him, who will receive brigade orders, and the detach¬ 
ment will obey any order delivered in Major Williams' name by this officer 
during the campaign : Major Williams will appoint whom he pleases to this 
duty.
