nI114however, other eviderce of his hostile intcntioniagainst the settlement.—It appears by Mr. Bourke'sdeposition, that, when on his way to Fort William,as a prisoner, he overheard a conversationwhich took place between Mr. Alexander M'Donell,and another partner, who had come up with theexpedition under Mr. M'Leod, in which theymutually talked of the difierent measures by whichit had been proposed to effect the destruction ofthe colony. From what was then said, it may beinferred, that M'Donell's plan was to starve thesettlers,— and M'Leod's to make a forcible attackupon them*.In addition to this, Charles Bruce, whom Mr.Miles Macdonell took with him, last summer, tothe Red River, as an interpreter of the Sautouxlanguage, has deposed, that they met, on the !S4thof June, several of the Sautoux Indians of thecountry about Lac la Pluie, who informed them,that Mr. Norman M*Leod, in his way up, had assembledthe Indians of that ncighboukhood, andSee Appendix, [B B.] page Ixxix. Alexander M'Donell'sintention of starving the colony into submission, is not enlyconfirmed by Bourke's deposition, but also by the fact of hishaving robbed the settlers of the six hundred bags of provisions,which was intended for their use, and that ofthe servantsof the Hudson** Bay Company.—See Appendix, [V.] pagexlviii.Uhpt
115proposed to them to go up with him to the RedRiver, to release Mr. Duncan Cameron ;and thatif he (Cameron) was not given up, they wouldtake him by force, and would gi.j the Indians,for their trouble, every thing which might befound in the fort. These Indians further said,that about twenty of their nation had accordinglyjoined M*Leod*s party,and some in those of theôme in their own canoes,North-West Company.This statement was confirmed by others of theSautoux nation. Another band from the samequarter, said, that five Indians had likewise beenprevailedupon by another partner of the North-West Company, two days before, to accompanyhim to the Red River, where Mr. NormanM'Leod, and many of the other partners, werethen assembling*.But, if any doubts should still remain of theviews of Mr. Norman M'Leod, they will probablybe removed by the perusal of the following letterâddressed by bim, and several others, to personswho were then stationed, in the service of theNorth-West Company, at their trading post at theFond du Lac Superior.i* See Appendix, [A A.J.&uiu..;])^
