The assembly was not willing in peace time to give him the powers he wanted, but it did amend the Militia Act and vote some money for the militia. In July, even though war had been declared, the assembly was again unwilling to agree to Brock’s demands for a further strengthening of the militia law and the imposition of martial law (law established and enforced by military officers instead of by civilians). Brock’s despair is evident in his letter of 28 July to Prevost: A more decent House has not been elected since the formation of the province — but I perceive at once that I shall get no good of them.
He deliberately set about establishing good relations with French-Canadian leaders and the Roman Catholic Church. As a result, the colony’s assembly would strongly support his efforts to raise money and men for the defence of Lower Canada. In 1811, Brock was appointed administrator as well as commanding officer of Upper Canada. This meant he had to look after civil government in place of the lieutenant-governor, Sir Francis Gore, who preferred to be in England and remained there until the war was over.
The message reached Montreal on June 24 and was taken the next day to Prevost at Quebec. Brock received the news at York on June 25 and immediately sent messages to the western forts. They reached Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas St. George, the commander at Fort Malden, on June 28 and Captain Charles Roberts at St. Joseph on July 8. These British officers acted on the declaration of war before their American opponents even knew about it.
