Intendant Antoine Denis Raudot prohibited the habitants of Lachine to leave church during the sermon, or to chat, flirt, or indulge in any form of immodest conduct during divine service.

This year it is estimated that only one man in seven could hope to find a wife, and some believe this is the main reason for the great exodus of young men from the colony as Coureurs des Bois and for their union with the native women of the Country.

Word reached Quebec that Sir Hovenden Walker and Jack Hill had assembled twelve thousand troops, nine warships and sixty transports in response to Queen Anne's request that she must have Canada.  Monsieur the Marquis de Vaudreuil ordered all settlers to erect stockades in the forest to put women and children, cattle, furniture and effects, leaving nothing of use to the English-speaking people when invasion comes.  All settlers capable of bearing arms are to go to Quebec where an abundant supply of provisions and munitions of war are on hand.  Monsieur de Lomguevil of Montreal was making similar arrangements.  On July 30, the American fleet sailed from Boston reaching Gaspe Bay on August 18, and Anticost Island by August 22.  That night ten transport ships, under the command of Hovenden Walker, are driven on the rocks during a storm and resulted in the loss of seven hundred men (others suggest it was closer to 1,000 men).  Others suggest 19 warships and 41 other ships with 11,000 men; seven transport and supply ships were lost with as many as 950 men.   The English (speaking people) concluded that navigation, at this time, was impossible, and they withdrew and returned home.

To accelerate colonization, an edict demands all inhabitants to occupy and begin clearing their lands within a year of concession, and permitted Seigniorial to repossess vacant lots.  Some Seigniorial used this edict to get rid of those who failed to pay their dues.
