Believe me, Dear Sir, I have had occasion to exert all my resolution before I gould venture on the difficulties that presented themselves as the probable concomitants of this journey ; But from a variety of circumstances, peculiar to my personal and local situation, I had no alternative; therefore, let the event be as it will, I shall not think myself accountable for consequences ; the more especially as Mrs. Stuart is perfectly reconciled to the expediency and necessity of the measure. 'Tis probable that, if I reach Canada, I may obtain a chaplaincy in Sir John Johnson's 2d Battalion of Royal Yorkers which is nearly complete, and on the establishment. * * * I mean to leaye nothing behind me here that may impose any necessity upon me of returning to this place (provided, such a thing possible) when the war is at an end. I can dispose of all my effects either for cash or good bills on Canada, my negroes being persona] property I take with me, one of which being a young man and capable of bearing arms I have given £100 security, to send back a white prisoner in his stead."'2

Before proceeding farther with this narrative it is necessary to notice, for the purpose of correcting, some errors into which the Society for propagating the Gospel has fallen in its account of the circumstanecs attendant on Mr Stuart's emigration. .
