During the period of the royal government, the assembly still retained influenc long years, they ventured on nothing that could displease royalty or the people. The territory of Massachusetts was by the charter vastly enlarged. On the south, it embraced Plymouth colony and the Elizabeth Islands; on the east, it included Maine and all beyond it to the Atlantic; on the north, it was described as swept by the St. Lawrence —the fatal gift of a wilderness, for the conquest and defence of which Massachusetts expended more treasure, and lost more of her sons, than all the En

For a season, hostilities in Aug. 11. Maine were suspended by a treaty of peace with the Abenakis; but, in less than a year, solely through by D'Iberville and Castin. Thus the frontier of French dominion was extended into the heart of Maine; and Acadia was yet, for a season, secured to the countrymen of De Monts and Champlain. In thf the eastern moiety of Newfoundland, France retained the whole coast and adjacent islands, from Maine to beyond Labrador and Hudson's Bay, besides Canada and the valley of the Mississippi. But the is now New Brunswick? or had France still a large territory on the Atlantic between Acadia and Maine?

History need not stop to tell what charities cheered them on their journey, what towns were closed against them by Roman Catholic magistrates, or how they entered Frankfort on the Chap XXIV.} Maine, two by two, in solemn procession, singing spiritual songs.
