1752 - JANUARY 14

According to Franquet:

Monsieur le Comte de raymond, étant dans le deissein de faire Construire Sur les Côtes de cette isle, 10 a 11 Redoutes, m'a demandé un Plan et une Estimation de chacun, je les luy ay donné Conformer aux pieces cy jointes [Louisbourg Map Number 1752-3] Il a eté Visiter L'Emplacement des Cinq les plus a la porte de la place ...

Jobserve que quoique j'eusse avancé par ma dernier du 14 decembre de reduire ces redoutes a la dépense de 8000^#: Que leurs Ouvrages Sont trop Etendue a pour pouvoir les y Soumetttre; Que leur Construction ne Sera pointe uniforme; Que Celles a Etablir en terre Ordonaires Seront Envelopeés, d'un fossé, avec palissades inclinées Sur Berme; et que les Autres a Elever Sur des platteaux de Roc, auront un Revetement de 10 pieds d'hauteur, traversé par une palissade en fraize, que les bâtimens a toutes, Seront Semblables, et que leur depense Sera la même a peu de chose prés

En Consequence de Ses Ordres, il y a un attalier actuelement dans le bois, Composé de 7 a 8: hommes qui travaillent a faire les palissades necessaires a la Construction de ces Redoutes et un Charpentier partira demain avec 28 hommes pour aller coupes tous les bois qui entreront dans la Construction des bâtimens qu'elles renferment; Ce dernier les fournira tous travaillés et montés dans Chaque Endroit Suivant le prix du marché passé pour les Ouvrages des fortifications pendant les années 1750 et 1751; Cette Convention Signeé de moy, au bas du Devis des bois, a eté ordonné, et approuveépar monsieur le Comte, il y a bien desraisons qui Concourent a L'Etablissement des redoutes, independament de celles de la Sureté des habitations, Contre les Corsaires, de la police a y faire observer, et de l'interest des Commerce dont je suis convent avec lui; Et en est beaucoup d'autres Monseigneur qu'il doit vous produire tendantes a la Deffense de L'isle ...⁽⁹⁹²⁾

1752 - JANUARY 18

According to a Raymond proposal affecting Port Toulouse, among other places, but from which nothing developed:

Memoire concernant quelques Redoutes qu'on avoit projetté d'etablir le long des côtes de l'isle Royale et dont on proposé d'un reduire plusieurs en maisons retranchées de palissades

La partie du Nord de Cette Isle qui est au de là de La brador est inhabitée et inaccessible. Elle est coupée d'ailleurs par le Lac de La brador qui va du Port Toulouse au Port D'Auphin ainsy il n'y a absolument rien à craindre de le côté la de la part de l'Ennemy. C'est un fait certain

Les Ports et havres qu'il Seroit essentiet d'occuper par des Redoutes ou Maisons palissadées ... Ceux de la partie de l'Ouest sont ... [among other places] Le Port Toulouse .. .

Ouest

Le Port Toulouse. Tout ce qui vient d'être dit pour le Port Dauphin convient à ce Poste ...

Pour éviter la depense que ces Redoutes occasionneroient, on propose de faire dans les lieux designés des maisons retranchées Simplement de palissades qui puisse contenir environ une vingtaine dhommes

Il est à observer qu'on excepte de cette proposition Les Ports D'auphin et Toulouze et la baye de gabarus où l'on ne peut Se dispenser, ainsy qu'il à être dit, de faire construire des redoutes

Ls depense pour la construction des d. maisons retranchés ne sera certainement pas bien considerables, et il y a deja une partie des bois de Charpente et des palissades qui sont faites ... ⁽⁹⁹³⁾

1752 - JANUARY 18

Tour of inspection undertaken by le Sieur de la Roque, King's Surveyor, by order of M. le Comte de Raymond ... This tour through all the ports, harbours, creeks, rivers and to all places in Isle Royale, generally, where there are settlers, was commenced on the fifth of February, 1752.

... Left l'Ardoise on the 13th and arrived at Port Toulouse on the same day, the distance between the two points being estimated at two leagues ... Finally a blazed road is taken which leads to the further end of the barachois to the east of Port Toulouse. All this part of the country is covered with mixed timber, but fir is the predominant wood.

Port Toulouse is situated to the right as you enter the little channel. The mouth is formed by the Pointe à Coste, on the lands of Isle Royale, and the Cap de la Ronde, on the isles Madame. The port extends three leagues running east and west. The breadth varies at divers points but is estimated to average from 150 to 200 toises. Vessels of 150 tons could not pass on account of two shoals that are in the centre of the said channel and it would take good seamanship to work small vessels through.

Port Toulouse is formed by the Pointe à Coste and the Pointe de la Briquerie, which are reckoned to lie north-west and south-east, and to be three quarters of a league apart. There is one channel which the king's vessels of 30 to 36 pieces of cannon could enter, but it is winding, and it is necessary to buoy the course on port and starboard in order that vessels may pass up the middle of the channel without fear of coming to grief. It is pity that this port is not practicable to vessels of all kinds; it presents a charming perspective and could be easily fortified, but it would be impossible to prevent an enemy effecting the landing of troops without the construction of several forts at the various points suitable for that purpose, between the Pointe de l'ancienne Intendance and the rivière à Tillard. On this rivière, in the creek de la Briquerie defence is everywhere quite easy, and without being visible from the present settlement.When near the land one estimates that la Briquerie is a good league from the settlement, and the rivière à Tillard three-quarters of a league. Vessels of 100 tons can enter and find shelter in this river. secure from winds from all points generally. The basin is not very large but is well adapted for sheltering ships. The settlers of Port Toulouse beach their boats and schooners here for the winter. It is the only spot that is concealed from observation from the King's Post. From Pointe à Coste to the King's Post there lies a sand bank which leaves a small space between it and the land on the north side where the Post stands and between this sandbank and the land on the north sidethere is an arm running inland to the east for about a good half league. It is just as easy to effect a landing in this spot as in the preceeding. The land of l'ancienne Briquerie is found to be stony and not capable of producing marketable stuff. Half a league east-south-east from Port Toulouse lies the Grande Grave. It is borderd by Pointe Pinet on the east and by Pointe à Coste on the west. The entrance lies north-east by south-west. Vessels can find anchorage here and shelter from the winds from almost every point, only those blowing off shore dangerous. The anchor in five to six fathoms of water. Two reefs lie opposite to pointe à Coste. They are visible at low water and left on the starboard beam as one enters. At the far end of the creek there is a barachois running a good quarter of a league inland in a north-westerly direction. All this section is covered, with a mixed timber.

[Franquet] ... L'augmentation des troupes de cette garnison, n'ayant pas Lieés c'est party forcé de Laisser Le projest des redoutes en Souffrance ...

[Rouillé] je ne Seais même Sil ne seroit pas preferable de faire quelques Ouvrages au Port Toulouze, et au Port Dauphin pour la sureté des habitants de ces Postes ...

Il envoi son mémoire sur l'isle St. Jean, La Pte. Beauséjour et le Port Toulouse. Il y a marqué son itinéraire et indiqué ce qui lui a paru interessant à l'établissement de ces endroits, à leur sureté ey protection. Il envoi 15 plans des ports, forts existants, et forts projetés, ainsi qu'une carte où il a indiqué leur position.

Les logements provisionnels des ports Toulouse et la Joye ont été si mal faits, qu'on a dépensé 3000 # en reparations cet hiver. Cesi sera le cas de tous les ouvrages construits par Mrs. les officiers. ⁽¹⁰⁰⁴⁾

1752 - JUNE 12

According to Franquet:

[PRÉCIS OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT]

Réponse à la lettre su 27 mars dernier traitant des redoutes et de son mémoire sur l'isle St. Jean.

Franquet représents au ministre que, l'hiver dernier, il combatit de son mieux le projest des redoutes dans ses discutions avec de raymond.

Voyant qu celui-ci ne se rendait point à son avis, il lui présenta un mémoire tendant à balancer les avantages et les inconvénient de ce projet. Aprés l'avoir lu, de Raymond la pria de ne point le joindre au mémoire et au plan que Franquet a adressé au ministre.

Si les 2 premiers articles de ce mémoire sont en faveur des redoutes, le 3 ème s'y oppose formellement.

De Raymond persista dans son projet , avec intention d'en commencer l'exécution. Par mesure d'économie Franquet lui proposa alors un charpentier avec lequel il avait arrêté une convention, à raison des prix de la fortification de cette place. Cet entrepreneur nommé Dubinca se mit aussitôt au travail, il était chargé de la quantité de bois de 11 redoutes.

De Raymond craignant qu'il ne puisse remplir son marché pour 1er avril, en engage un 2ème nommé La Chappelle, aux mêmes conditions que Dubinca.

Les rigueurs de l'hiver ne leur permettent heureusement que de fournir une infime partie de leur travail.

Le nommé Pierre Lelièvre devait fournir 2000 palissades aux havres de lorrembec et de la Baleine, à raison de 40# le 0/0. Ce dernier a fourni un certificat de reception de 1995 [?]

Ces dispositions prises, de raymond voyant que Franquet se prêtait au projet des redoutes par obligation, il en fut plus question entre eux.

C'est à cette époque, avec l'arrivée du Chariot Royal, que de raymond apprit la suspension de son projet.

Néamoins, il n'y renonce pas et demande à Franquet de lui faire l'estimation d'un bâtiment pour 8 à 10 hommes et 1 sergent. Cette estimation se monte à 3168#

De raymond attendra l'autorisation du ministre pour en ordonner l'exécution. Franquet approuve ce dernier projet. ⁽¹⁰⁰⁵⁾

Les Micmacks se sont également saisi d'une autre géolette de Pêche obligée par le mauvais temps de relacher au Petit Dégrat. Ils l'ont conduit au Port Toulouse.

Les sauvages de cette Isle ont découvert à leur missionnaire que si ceux de l'acadie n'ont pas voulu paraître, ce n'a été que pour être moins suspects vis à vis des anglais, et que Kop, (un sauvage de l'Acadie), et le chef du Cap de sable ont trompé Piquet, qu'ils les ont fait avertir de venir par une vieille habitante du Port Toulouze nommée La Sonde.⁽¹⁰¹⁸⁾
