Text Appearing Before Image:
âmes, etpoursuit : « Léglise de la basse ville a été bâtie en conséquence dun vœu faitpendant le siège de Québec en 1690. Elle est dédiée sous le nom deNotre-Dame de la Victoire. Sa structure est très simple, une propretémodeste en fait tout lornement. » Le palais épiscopal na de fini que la chapelle, et la moitié des bâti-ments. Sil est jamais achevé, ce sera un très bel édifice. Le jardin sétendjusque sur la croupe du rocher, et domine toute la rade. Quand la capi-tale de la Nouvelle-France sera aussi florissante que celle de lAncienne(et il ne faut désespérer de rien, Paris a été longtemps beaucoup moinsque nest Québec aujourdhui) quautant que les yeux pourront porter,ils ne verront que bourgs, châteaux, maisons de plaisance, et tout celaest déjà ébauché : que le fleuve de Saint-Laurent, qui roule majestueu-sement ses eaux, et les amène de lextrémité du Nord, ou de lOuest, y seracouvert de vaisseaux; que lîle dOrléans et les deux bords des deux
Text Appearing After Image:
Québec après le siège de 1759. - i9 - rivières, qui tonnent ce port, découvriront de belles prairies, de richescoteaux et des campagnes fertiles, et il ne leur manque pour cela quedêtre plus peuplées; quune partie de la rivière Saint Charles, qui ser-pente agréablement dans un charmant vallon, sera jointe à la ville, dontelle sera sans doute le plus beau quartier; quon aura revêtu la rade dequais magnifiques ; que le pont sera environné de bâtiments superbes,et quon y aura trois ou quatre cents navires chargés de richesses, quenous navons pas encore su faire valoir, et y apporter en échange cellesde lAncien et du Nouveau Monde, vous mavouerez, Madame, que cetteterrasse offrira un point de vue, que rien ne pourra égaler, et que dès àprésent ce doit être quelque chose de fort bien.
