Volume 3 — RE-CAPTURE OF THE ISLANDS OF ST. PIERRE AND MIQUELON.
Reading edition
Earlier in the year, in consequence of their aggression on the coast of America, the French were deprived of their privilege of fishing on the banks of Newfoundland. The little islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon had been ceded to them at the peace of 1763, but they were now re-captured by the British, and the garrisons conveyed to France.
