On this basis the animals were valued as follows, omitting fractions of a cent: 674. All of which gives a good idea of the value of domestic animals in the Green Bay region in the year 1814. Andre Lachaise, probably LaChaine, or LaChesne, whose marriage to Susanne Hirebour was celebrated at Mackinac, January 28, 1799, by Adhemar St. Martin, justice of the peace, according to the records of St. Anne's parish church at that place. 678. Refers to Gen. McArthur's raid. Left Detroit late in October with 750 mounted men and 5 field pieces. Crossed the St. Clair from the American side to (probably) Port Lambton. Advanced through Baldoon,. Moravian Town, Oxford, Brantford, intending to go to Burlington, but finding that Izard, who was to march toward Drummond, had given up the plan to evacuate Canada, McArthur turned south to Dover, and thence back via. St. Thomas and the Thames valley to Sandwich, where he arrived November 17, 1814. 685. Sir George Prevost's observations in the communication referred to by Gen Drummond cannot be conjectured. The army under his personal command had suffered a defeat at Plattsburg 11th of September, 1814. Possibly hewished to even up that loss by some striking success in the direction of Detroit. A popular ballad of those days usually sung in the theatres in the character of a negro in soldier's uniform, relates Prevost's misfortunes in this wise: "Probose scare so, he lef' all behine, Powder, ball, cannon, tea-pot and kittle; An' Gin'ral Macomb start ole Probose home- 686. The treaty of peace and amity was signed at Ghent, December 24, 1814. Earl Bathurst, as this extract shows, communicated its provisions without delay to Gen. Prevost. The articles about Indians were reciprocal, each power to stop hostilities with all tribes or nations, with whom they may have been at war at the time of the ratification of the treaty, and to restore to the tribes or nations respectively all the rights, possessions and privileges which they may have enjoyed or been entitled in 1811 previous to such hostilities. The treaty was ratified at Washington, February 18, 1815. 687. The value of this change of designation is apparent, important in a diplomatic sense, to establish a precedent favorable to the British view of the status of its allies. 687. The war on the borders of Michigan began with a proclamation by Gen. Hull, dated Sandwich, July 13, 1812. Though ended elsewhere it holds on for a while in the upper Mississippi by proclamation of Capt. Bulger. The last battle of the war was Gen. Jackson's victory at New Orleans, 8th, January, 1815, 15 days after the treaty of peace was signed.
