  • Cette insolence excita l'indignation dans le camp; mais m. de la Barre se contenta d'observer que du moins l'on prit garde qu'en voulant frapper les Illinois la hache ne tombât sur les Français qui demeuraient avec eux, réponse peu noble qui rappelle celle que Pitt fit dans la chambre des communes à l'occasion du désastre de Quiberon; et qui lui attira cette belle exclamation de Fox, célèbre dans l'histoire: «Non, le sang anglais n'a pas coulé; mais l'honneur anglais a coulé par tous les pores».This insolence aroused indignation in the camp; but m. of the Bar was content to observe that at least it was taken care that in wanting to strike the Illinois the axe fell upon the French who remained with them, an un noble answer which recalls that which Pitt made in the House of Commons on the occasion of the disaster of Quiberon; and which drew to him this beautiful exclamation of Fox, famous in history: "No, the English blood did not sank; but the English honor sank through all the pores".C1Histoire du Canada, tome I
