[110] Church, _Entertaining Passages_. "Un habitant des Mines a dit que les ennemis avaient ete dans toutes les rivieres, qu'il n'y restait plus que quatre habitations en entier, le restant ayant ete brule."--_Expeditions faites par les Anglois, 1704._ "Qu'ils avaient ... brule toutes les maisons a la reserve du haut des rivieres."--Labat, _Invasion des Anglois_, 1704. [111] On this affair, Thomas Church, _Entertaining Passages_ (1716). The writer was the son of Benjamin Church. Penhallow; Belknap, i. 266; _Dudley to ----, 21 April, 1704_; Hutchinson, ii. 132; _Deplorable State of New England_; _Entreprise des Anglais sur l'Acadie_, 1704; _Expeditions faites par les Anglais de la Nouvelle Angleterre_, 1704; Labat, _Invasion des Anglois de Baston_, 1704. [112] _Report of a Committee to consider his Excellency's Speech, 12 March, 1707._ _Resolve for an Expedition against Port Royal_ (Massachusetts Archives). [113] _Autobiography of Rev. John Barnard_, one of the five chaplains of the expedition. [114] _A Boston Gentleman to his Friend, 13 June, 1707_ (Mass. Archives). [115] _Autobiography of Rev. John Barnard._ [116] _A Boston Gentleman to his Friend, 13 June _(old style)_, 1707._ The final attack here alluded to took place on the night of the sixteenth of June (new style). [117] _William Dudley to Governor Dudley, 24 June, 1707._ [118] _Stuckley to Dudley, 28 June, 1707._ [119] A considerable number of letters and official papers on this expedition will be found in the 51st and 71st volumes of the Massachusetts Archives. See also Hutchinson, ii. 151, and Belknap, i. 273. The curious narrative of the chaplain, Barnard, is in _Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d Series_, v. 189-196. The account in the _Deplorable State of New England_ is meant solely to injure Dudley. The chief French accounts are _Entreprise des Anglois contre l'Acadie, 26 Juin, 1707_; _Subercase au Ministre, meme date_; _Labat au Ministre, 6 Juillet, 1707_; _Relation_ appended to Diereville, _Voyage de l'Acadie_. The last is extremely loose and fanciful. Subercase puts the English force at three thousand men, whereas the official returns show it to have been, soldiers and sailors, about half this number. [120] Penhallow puts the French force at five hundred and fifty. Jeremiah Dummer, _Letter to a Noble Lord concerning the late Expedition to Canada_, says that the havoc committed occasioned a total loss of L80,000. [121] _Saint-Ovide au Ministre, 20 Janvier, 1709_; _Ibid., 6 Septembre, 1709_; _Rapport de Costebelle, 26 Fevrier, 1709_. Costebelle makes the French force one hundred and seventy-five. [122] Some of the French officials in Acadia foresaw aggressive action on the part of the English in consequence of the massacre at Haverhill. "Le coup que les Canadiens viennent de faire, ou Mars, plus feroce qu'en Europe, a donne carriere a sa rage, me fait apprehender une represaille."--_De Goutin au Ministre, 29 Decembre, 1708._
