Extract of a letter from Montreal Jan. 18.

the scheme of raising troops, but the priests we are assured
disapprove of it. The greatest part of the noblesse reside
in this district, and upwards of 50 of them are now gone
down to Quebec, to pay their respects to the governor, and
attend the ball usually given by government of the Queen's
birth-night. They expect to come back with commissions in
their pockets, but our governor has not yet received his
instructions. . .
