The bravery displayed and the complete\\nsuccess which crowned the enterprise attracted attention\\nacross the Atlantic, so that the mother country readily\\nassumed the act and paid the cost of the expedition. To\\nadjust these accounts it became necessary that they should\\nhave the rolls, and they were accordingly sent to England,\\nand have never been returned. In fact, the same is true of\\nthe records of the council of that day they were sent to\\nthe home government, and the copies now in the archives\\nof the state are transcri[)ts from the original records.

To this he sub-\\njoined that he never heard of or ever saw such courage\\nand intrepidity in such a handful of men, who regarded\\nneither shot nor bombs. But what was still more surpris-\\ning than all the rest, he said, was this, namely, to see bat-\\nteries raised in a night s time, and more particularly the\\nFascine battery, which was not five-and-twenty rods from\\nthe city wall and to see guns that were forty-two pound-\\ners dragged by the English from their grand battery, not-\\nwithstanding it was two miles distant, at least, and the\\nroad, too, very rough.\\nThe tidings of the surrender were received throughout\\nthe colonies with the utmost enthusiasm.

The capture\\nof Louisburg is one of those historical events which was\\nfruitful of great results, but which, for the. most part, are\\nslow in germination.

India was more valuable in the eyes\\nof the Duke of Newcastle than all the Atlantic colonies.\\nBut the remote consequences of this expedition far trans-\\ncend in importance these immediate ones. It was a school\\nof arms for the colonial troops. Gridley, who planned the\\nparallels and trenches at Louisburg, laid out also the fortifi-\\ncations of Bunker Hill.\\nIts success showed the colonies their power and the\\nnecessity for their union. It showed them, too, that in the\\ncouncils of Great Britain their affairs were of minor im-\\nportance. This was a dreadful shock to the loyal love of\\nthe old home which then was general in the colonies. On\\nthe other hand, the capture of Louisburg jjointed out to\\nWilliam Pitt the possibility of the conquest of the whole of\\nCanada, and paved the way for that.\\nIn the next war Canada was conquered, and the English\\ncolonists freed from the fear of attack from their neighbor\\non the north. The expenses of this war and the consequent\\ndemands of the British exchequer, led the ministry to tax\\nthe colonies. America resisted, and the result was the\\nAmerican Revolution. By an extraordinary turn in the\\nwheel of time, the French assisted the old English colonies\\nto become an independent nation, while the old French\\ncolonies remained the property of Great Britain.\\nIt is now one hundred and fifty years since the surrender\\nof Louisburg. It is one hundred and twelve years since\\nthe treaty of Paris recognized the independence of the\\nUnited States and confirmed to Great Britain the possession\\nof Canada. Surely the rancor of the old wars ought by\\nthis time to be burned completely out. Surely we can now\\nagree that the development of these countries during all\\nthat time has been promoted by the result of those old\\nwars.
