But when it was evident that this country produced nei* ther gold nor silver, and that it was not easy to make the wealth, which New Spain possessed within it, flow in Louysiana, the province suddenly fell under general cen- sure : no one regarded the fertility of the soil, or the pro- ductions it would yield with moderate toil, nor the import- ance of establishing a naval station on the Gulf of Mexi- co. The trepsures brought from France disappeared ; men died of want, although they had all requisite to live in opu- lence, or else they dispersed on all sides, as we shall see in the sequel of this history. When d'Iberville left it, in April, 1700, Louysiana had no French settlements except those of some Canadians, in Illinois, a fort near the mouth of the Micissipi, which last- ed only till 1705, and another at Biloxi on the sea shore. Mr. de Sauvole commanded in this latter, which was the headquarters. The former had been intrusted by d'Iber- ville to his brother de Bienville and the Sieui' Juche- reau de St. Denys,' his wife's uncle, a man much esteemed by the Indians, and a fluent speaker of the languages of several nations. He had also, on parting, given orders to his kinsman, le Sueur, to proceed to the Sioux country Condition of kin ITOO. ^ Lonis Jachereau de St. Denys, whom Mr. Daniel, (Nob Glolres, i., p. 207,) Buppoaea to have bf«n called Barbara, was a son of Nicholas Ju- chereaa, Sieur de St. Denys. Ac- cording to the recent work of the Abb€ Tangnay, Dictionnaire Gen£a- logique, p. 328, he was born at Que- bec, Sept. 18, 1676. The exact time of his death I have not ascertained Le Page du Pratz, i., p. 178, refers to his manuscripts, but they are not now known, and elsewhere the latter author speaks of the grief of the Indians at his death. lb., p. 301-2. iii raSTOEY OP NEW FBANOB. m Coppar- mine amonj; the Slonx. with twenty men, establish a post there and take posses- i7oo- sion of a copper-mine, which le Sueur had discovered.' This detachment started towards the end of April, (1700,)' ascended the Micissipi to St. Anthony's Falls, en- tered St. Peter's Paver,' forty leagues up which they found another river emptying on the left, and which has been called Biviere Yerte, (Green Biver,)* because earth falling from the mine gives it that color. Le Sueur could sail up this river only about a league, finding it covered with doating ice, although it was only the end of September. This compelled him to throw up at that spot a kind of fort' to pass the winter, which proved extremely severe, and lasted till the beginning of April. The writer who gives an account of this voyage, states a Remorka. circumstance which is worthy of notice. He says that having run out of provisions, they made up for it by hunt- ing buffaloes ; that to preserve the flesh of these animals, they quartered them, and for wa:it of salt, left them in the air, where they soon spoiled ; that at first they found it very hard to accustom themselves to this food, which gave them all diarrhoeas and fevers, with such a loathing for it, ble obser- vatloii. ' There are two accounts of Le Sueur's Voyage, that in Penicaut, Annate Veritable, ch. ii-, ^ 2, here followed by Charlevoix, and that in B6nard de la Ilarpe, Journal Uisto- rique, pp. 38-70 ; Early Voyages up and down the Miasissippi, pp. 87- 112. Le Sueur was a Canadian and a kinsman of d'Ibcrville. In 1GU3 he was at Chogoimegon, maintaining peace between the Chippewas and the Sioux. N. Y. Col. Doc., ix., p. 570. He built « fort in the west in 1G9S. In 1697 he was in France and got permission to work mines he had discovered, but on his way to Canada was captured by the Eng^ lish. On recovering his liberty, he Bailed to Canada with a new com- mission, but meeting difficulties. Went back, and in 1(!90 proceeded to LouyBiana. After his voyage up to Minnesota, he returned to France in 1702. Some years after, while again on las way to Louisiana, he died at sea. La Harpe, p. 21. Ear- ly Voyages up, &c., pp. 89-01.

As soon as April came, le Sueur proceeded to the mine, which was only two miles and a quarter distant, and in twenty-two days he got out thirty thousand pounds of ore ; he picked out four thousand of what seemed richest and sent it to France. The spot worked by him is at the be- ginning of a mountain which is ten leagues long, and all apparently of the same character. It is on the bank of the river, does not produce a single tree, and is constantly enveloped in mists, even in the finest weather. The soil where the ore is extracted is green, and you can scratch the copper with a knife ; but you must first take off a kind of crust as hard as rock, black and burned like coal by the vapor issuing from tho ore. Many rather interesting inci- dents, too long to detail here, but still more, want of funds prevented le Sueur from pushing this enterprise.* The next year d'Iberville made a third voyage to Louy- siana, and began a post on Maubile Biver. He even laid the foundations of a fort to which de Bienville, (who be- came commandant on de Sauvole's death,) soon after transferred all that there was at Biloxi, abandoning the latter post.' In 1702 d'Iberville returned for the fourth time and erected on Massacre Island storehouses and bar- racks, because as that island had a port, it was much easier to land goods brought from France there, than to send them on sloops to Fort Maubile.* It was at this time ■ Fenicaut, ch. ii.

It was gradually settled, and some years after, a ' ^'^' fort was built there with larger storehouses, so that it be- came insensibly the head-quarters of the colony.' The settlers dspended for subsistence on what came from Slow progreH of France and what could be obtained from the Indians, the colony. They quarrelled and then made peace with some tribes ; many Indians were induced to settle in the neighborhood of Maubile, where they cleared quite a large tract, and always lived harmoniously with the whites. Others, like the Apalaohes, came there of their own accord, prefenag the French to the Spaniards, among whom they had long been settled ; but these last excepted, to whom for a time a missionary was assigned, no more suitable steps were taken to gain the Indians of these parts to Christ, than were adopted to give a sohd foundation to the French colony.' 1703 ; althongh P£aicaat stttea it, ch. 4, § i., but he is somewhat con- fused, making SauvoUe die after the departure of d'lberville and le Bneur, (April, 1702.

Indeed, there could scarcely be said to be a colony in "-^t"-- Louysiana, or at least it did not begin to take shape till Arrival of a ^^^ arrival of Diron d'Artaguette as Commissaire Ordon- M.ire'orl nateur in 1708. This magistrate's first care was to enable donnaieur. ^l^Q settlers to cultivate the soil, which seemed quite fertile along Maubile Eiver, so that they might not ^e obliged to wander about, living by hunting or with the Indians when- ever the ships from France were late in bringing pro- visions, as it happened on several occasions.' But success did not crown his hopes. Around Maubile there is only a mere surface of good soil, and moreover, wheat can never ripen there well on account of the fogs, which produce rust. They made up for this for some time by raising tobacco, which succeeded better.* D'Artaguette, in a letter dated January 10th, 1711, says that Maubile tobacco was esteemed aooye the Virginian. He added that in the month of September of the preced- ing year, an English corsair had ravaged Dauphin Island, plundered and burned the houses and stores, wreaked unpar- alleled cruelties on the people to force them to tell where they had hidden their money, and that the damage done to the King and to individuals amounted to eighty thousand francs,' whence he concluded that it was absolutely neces- sary to fortify the island. The Commissaire reasoned well according to the prevailing idea, which was to plant the I ^ 1 1' I (I ' The Aigle, Capt. de Noyant, ar- rived Feb., 1707, to find them hunt- ing or living on the Indians; yet brought over mauy families to set- tle, and implements, as vrell as two priests, de la V'ente and la Maire.

D'Artaguette returned to France the same year, and Lonviiona gave the court a great deal of light as to Louysiana. crocai? Some years before, de Muys, major of the forces in Cana- da, and heretofore mentioned, had been appointed Gover- nor of Louysiana, but that officer dying on the way, the King appointed as his successor the Sieur de la Motte Cadillac,* and in the instructions given him it was stated, that the King, having deemed proper to grant to the Sieur Crozat the monopoly of the Louysiana trade for sixteen years, with an absolute right in perpetuity to him and his heirs in the mines, veins and minerals, discovered and worked on the conditions laid down in his Letters Pa- tent, the King wished the Governor to examine on the ar- rival of every one of said Sieur Crozat's ships, whether the condition of carrying out six unmarried young men or women by each ship was complied with.* The King added that the Sieur d'Artaguette, commia- saire in said country, having returned to France, ho had selected the Sieur Duclos' to perform the duties of Couooii, Commissaire Ordonnateur; that as there was as yet no judicial officer in Louysiana, and it was at present impos- Establiah- ment of a Superior 1^1 ill ■ For dispatches of Bienville, Boi8- briant, La Salle, see OayarrS, Hist, de la Louisiane, i., p. 77-82.

I have spoken in my Journal ' at length on the former'of these two enterprises, which kept all France in suspense for several years, and at last came to nothing. Nor was the second more successful. Scarcely had La Motte Cadillac landed at Dauphin Island,* before he dis- patched the ship that had brought him to Vera Cruz ; but this voyage was useless.

The Gov- ernor gave him ten thousand francs' worth of goods, and agreed with him that they were to be stored among the Natchitoches, an Indian tribe on Bed Biver, with whom de Bienville and this same Saint Denys had formed an alli- ance in 1701, and of wiiich some members had, within a few years, settled on the Micissipi, near the Colapissas. Saint Denys, deeming it expedient to take these Natchi- toches with him, proposed it through F^nicaut, a ship-car- penter. This man had accompanied le Sueur to his cop- per-mine : he had made several other excursions on the Micissipi, and understood almost all the Indian languages of Louysiana. He himself had brought the Natchitoches to the Colapissas, and had no difficulty in persuading them to return to their former abode with de Saint Denys. But the Colapissas, who had received them with great humanity, and who had found them not useless, were so offended to see them depart without even any apology, that they pursued them, killed seventeen, and carried off a great many of their women and children. The rest es- caped through the woods and reached de Saint Denys, who was awaiting them at Biloxi. He set out with them, and passing through the village of the Tonioas, induced the chief of that nation to follow him with fifteen of his best hunters.'

He then select- ed twelve of the iianchmen whom he had brought along, and some Indians, and leaving Red Biver, which is not navigable above the Island of the Natchitoches, took his route westward. After twenty days' march he reached the Assinais,* neighbors of the Genis, if they are not the Oenis them- selves,' and quite near the spot where de la Sale was killed. But the fact is, that those Indians did not recollect to have ever before seen Frenchmen, or know any other Eu- ropeans than some Spaniards, who went naked like them- selves and hved miserably. The Assinais gave de Saint Denys guides, and he travelled one hundred and fifty leagues further to the southwest, before reaching the first Spanish settlements. At last he found, on the banks of a great river, a fort which bore the name of San Juan Bautista, and Presidio del Norte. He was well received by the commandant, Don Pedro de Yilescas,^ who took him to his quarters, as well as Medard Jallot, his valet de chambre, surgeon, and P^- nicaut, and assigned lodgings for the rest of his party.

I have explained in my journal the whole afifair of these pretended discoveries, which so deluded the French, though much more in Europe than in America. There was more reaUty in a deputation which the Governor received on his arrival at Maubile. A chief highly es- teemed in the country, came in to form an alliance with him in the name of several tribes, and at the same time the Alibamous, hitherto our most declared ene- mies, offered to introduce the French into their vil- lage and erect a fort at their own expense. Their o£fer was accepted, the fort built, and Captain de la Tour took possession with two lieutenants and some soldiers.* Meanwhile, it was perceived that the Natchez were plot- ting some treachery ; they killed four Frenchmen * who were travelling with some of fheir tribe, and prepared to Treacb»ry of tde Nitcbei.

But one of those who accompanied the former, warned him to be on his guard. He immediately spoke to all the others in private, and without revealing the name of his informant, he promised them a great reward, and gave them his word to keep their secret if they acknowl- edged the truth. All declared that at a point six leagues further on, where they would have to run close by the shore to avoid a very dangerous whirlpool, a party of one hundred and fifty of their tribe, armed with muskets, were lying in wait for them, commanded by a chief named le Barbu, and that he would infallibly be slain there. This avowal of eight men, all stating the same thing, induced la Loire to turn back ; but as he had every reason to believe that there was a general conspiracy among the Natchez, he was filled with anxiety in regard to his brother. Fenicaut, who accompanied him, offered to rescue him from the great village of the Natchez, and adopted these steps to effect his design. The whole party having arrived about an hour and a half before nightfall at the Natchez landing, Fenicaut went ashore alone, telling la Loire to wait for him till midnight, and that if he did not appear by that time, to give him up for dead ; in which case his only course would be to push on. He then advanced towards the cabin of the younger la Loire, which was a league dis- tant, carrying only his gun, powder-flask and a few balls. As he approached the village, some Natchez, who per- ceived him, ran to tell la Loire that a Frenchman was coming ; he came out to see who it was, and recognizing Fenicaut, asked tidings of his brother and the reason of his coming. Fenicaut told him that he had fallen sick ; I ut once in his cabin, he told him to send for the Qreat Chief of the Natchez, who came at once. Fenicaut told him that bIx of the eight Natchez who had started with the Sieur de la Loire and him, to go to the Illinois, hav- Oh HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE. 27 ing fallen ill, they had been forced to turn back ; that they 1713-25. were all at the landing, and he begged him to send thirty ' *"» ^' Indians early in the morning to unload the canoe and transport the goods to the warehouse. This the Great Chief promised, and he added that Mr. de la Loire had done well to go no further, as he had been very anxious about him on account of the Tazoos, a treacherous tribe, hostile to the French. Penicaut made no reply, and manifested absolute confidence in the chief ; but when the latter retired, he informed la Loire of the motive of his coming, and showed him that he must think only of escaping, and that there was not a moment to lose. This was no easy matter, la Loire told him, as three In- dians slept in his room ; but Penicaut reassured him, and was sanguine of success. When it was really night, they lay down, and the In- dians first fell asleep ; Penicaut would have stabbed them, but la Loire prevented him, thinking it not easy to kill three men before one of them might have a chance to cry out. Penicaut then gently opened the door and let out la Loire, who had taken the precaution of loading his gun. A few minutes later he glided out himself, double locked the room on the outside and ran after his companion, whom he soon overtook. As they approached the landing, they met the elder la Loire, who had begun to be alarmed ; they embarked at once, and dismissed the eight Natchez after liberally rewarding them.' About ten o'clock in the morning they reached the The chief of theTonloot Tonicas, and while they were there, they saw three refuses to Natchez arrive, whom the Great Chief, furious at the plot, escape of the la Loires, sent to the chief of the Tonicas, to indaoe him to massacre all the French who were in his village.

The Messrs. de la Loire continued their journey, and reached Maubile, where all were surprised to see them back, and still more to learn the reason of their return. Mr. de la Motte Cadillac thought that this treachery of the Natchez should not be allowed to go unpunished, and raised a party of a hundred men, soldiers and settlers, un- der the command of Mr. de Bienville, Eing's>lieutenant, with ^vhom he associated Mr. de Pailloux, major in the army.

As they passed before the Bay of the Tonicas, they noticed a bag hanging from the branch of a tree on the river side, and in this bag they found a letter from Mr. Davion, who, ascertaining that they would pass by there witL./ui stop- ping, informed them that a Frenchman named Biohard, on his way from the Illinois, had been taken by the Natchez; that these savages, after plundering him of all his goods, had taken him to their village, cut off his feet and hands, and cast him, still living, into a mudhule.* Up to this time, Mr. de Bienville had imagined that the Messrs. de la Loire had been seized with a mere panic ; the perusal of this letter disabused him. He did not 1 71 6. even deem himself strong enough to march direct upon the Natchez ; he entered the Bay of the Tonicas, built a fort, and sent du Tisn^ with twenty men to the Great Chief of the Natchez, to tell him that he had some matters to impart to him, and that he begged the chief to meet him at the Tonicas. Du Tisn^ returned the next day and informed de Bienville that the Great Chief would soon foUow him. He did not, however, leave his village, but sent to the French commandant some subaltern chiefs, with about twenty-five men. ■ The King had ordered Bien- ny of 84 men.

The Indians dis- betwera embarked and entered the fort with as much confidence as ''iKtchet ' though the affair were a mere visit. Thej then presented to the commandant a calumet of peace, but he refused it, which so startled those savages, that they gave themselves up for lost. Bienville told them, with an angtj air, that he had come to exact satisfaction for the murder of the five Frenchmen which they had committed; that he wished them either to deliver up the murderers, or at least bring in their heads. What he demanded, was, they replied, not in their power ; but if he so desired, they would send some of their party to their Great Chief, to notify him of the comman- dant's intentions. He consented on condition that all the others should remain his prisoners, and he at once had them conveyed to a cabin, where a strict watch was kept over them.' Those who went to the Natchez soon returned and presented to the commandant the head of a man* whom the Qreat Chief had put to death, but who really was not one of the murderers. Bienville asked them whether they intended to make game of him, and added that he must have the heads of the culprits, especially the head of a chief whom he had named expressly. The envoys replied that this chief was the nephew of the Sun, who would sooner see his whole village perish than sacrifice that young man, the bravest of all his na- tion ; that besides, he had among those detained by him, the four murderers of the French, and might bring them to justice.

This obliged the Governor of Louisiana to reinforce '■""•"*' the garrison of the Fort of the Natchitoches.' state o{ Meanwhile, the exclusive commerce granted to Grozat coSeroo ^ 1712, far from accelerating the progress of the Colony of Louysiana, had been prejudicial to it, nor had Orozat derived from it all the benefit Ue had promised himself. These two things always go together ; to acquire wealth by the trade of a colony, it must be peopled, and the inhabitants made consumers of the goods sent there, giv- ing in return. This cannot be attained without great out- lay. Those engaged in such enterprises must select care- fully the men to whom they confide their interests. Nothing of this was done, and all parties suffered. To understand well what the sequel of this history obliges me to say on this point, we must go back a little, and state more in detail the actual position of Louysiana, when Crozat obtained the privilege above mentioned, and the position when he renounced that privilege. In 1712 there were in all that province only twenty-eight French families, not half of them engaged in cultivating the soil, or properly styled settlers; the rest were traders, inn- keepers and mechanics not permanently settled in any place. Trade was then conducted only at Maubile and Isle Dauphine, and the only articles were planks, bear, deer and cat-skins and other like furs. The voyageurs or bushlopers, almost all Cansidians, went to the Indians, to barter such French goods as t^ '>y could get, for peltries St. Denyv was on good terms with his Si>aDisb neighbors, and as Spanish authorities shovf, rendered them good service. Bonilla sajs he facilitated the entrance of the Spaniards into Texas, and by his amiable manners won the Indians, and gave the most constant proob of his good faith. Tet the Spanish government ordered him to be car- ried off to Guatemala, and Ramon tc be removed from the frontifer, a disgrace which the latter escapee* by death in 1734, having l>een kill^ by the Indians.

HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE. ^ and slaves, which they then sold to the settlers; these i7i(S-25* last sold the peltries again to the Spaniards at Pensa- "■"'"■' cola, or the vessels which occasionally came from France, and they employed these slaves in clearing the ground, or sawing planks, for which they found a market sometimes at Peusacola, mor > frequently at Martinique or St. Do- mingo. They obtained from these colonies in exchange, sugar, tobacco, cacao and French goods when there had been a long delay in receiving them direct. They also carried to Pensacola, where the Spaniards had cleared no land, vegetables, Indian corn, poultry, and in general, all the products of their industry which their less ingenious and less laborious neighbors needed. All this brought in a little money, with which they purchased what they were obliged to obtain from abroad : it was not enough to enrich them, but they had quite an easy life. They had also learned that the country would produce tobacco, indigo, cotton and silk, but there were no hands for all these crops ; there was no one in the colony who could aid them, or who thought of encouraging them; they did not even know the method of cultivating these plants. Moreover, the colony was by no means solidly estab- lished, so that there was always a fear that the King would abandon it, and all the care and pains they might take would be lost. Many even retired elsewhere, and others remained only because they lacked means to go. It is astonishing that Mr. Crozat, when acquiring the do- main of Louysiana with the exclusive right to trade for twenty-five years, did not inform himself of the real state of things, so as to form his plans on these necessary data : but it is quite ordinary on these occasions to dis- trust the very persons from whom the most correct infor- mation can be •obtained, and whose experience fits them ' most to second a new enterprise. It is feared that they will sacrifice the new proprietary's interests to their own, and men do not reflect that the surest way to succeed in such aff^airs is to interest those who are most versed in it, iii,,, II''' I !i»i I,. \«M hi h :,::: II I M HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE. ' 4:; 1 1 I •J' 1716-36. BO that tbey shall see their own advantage in the snooess of the enterprise. This Mr. Orozat failed to do, and he did not under- stand that nothing can be derived from a country, how good soever it may be, when the settler is not allowed to grow richer. Scarcely had he taken possession of his ex- clusive trade, when the vessels from the West Indies ceased to appear in Louysiana. At the same time the settlers were forbidden to go to Pensacola, the very source whence all the money came that was current in the colony, or to sell anything whatever except to Crozat's agents, who thus found themselves in a position to put on the colonial products such values as they chose ; a power which they did not fail to abuse ; at last they rated pel- tries so low, that the hunters, finding it more profitable to dispose of them in Canada and the English colonies, carried them all there. By pursuing just the opposite course, Crozat's company would have acquired credit and secured the confidence of the colonists, after which it might have led them to its object, when it had increased their number and induced them to derive from their country all that it could pro- duce. But by cutting them off from the little vein of sil- ver flowing in from Pensacola, by depressing the price of their products and wares, by fettering their commerce, which they understood far better than the company, and the product of which would have flowed back to the com- pany itself, by raising the price of what they were obliged to draw from France, it left them unable to sub- sist, and still more to make their lands available. This decline of Louysiana trade and cultivation could not but prove highly injurious to the King "^Iso, if we re- flect that after the twenty-five years for which Crozat's monopoly was to last, the colony would be found less ad- vanced than it was when granted to him, and his majesty was not compensated by the fifty tons freight which the company was bound to give him on its vessels. The £ing indeed thus saved the expense of a hip, which be ► m\ \ BISTORT OF NEW FRANCE. M voold have had to send to Louysiana, to carry over all 17 ^^-i^- reqaired for the subsistence of the troops ; but there was -^t^' a more natural way of saving this, or rather of meeting this expense by the freight, which the vessel would be sure to find at Saint Domingo. This would only require the fitting out of a 170 ton frigate every year, or one of those two decked English galleys, which, for all their having a large hold, are still good sailers, and managed by a small crew, on account of the lightness of their movements. In fact, I say nothing here, except after a detailed memoir transmitted at the time to the minister by Mr. Duclos, who, as already no- ted, succeeded Mr. d'Artaguette in the office of Com- missaire Ordonnateur in Louysiana, and who subse- quently held the same office at Cap Francois in Saint Domingo, where he acted so well during the troubles that occurred in that colony in 1723, and who was soon after appointed Intendant of the Leeward Isles. Crozat saw the damage which his monopoly did to the King's interests sooner than he did the injury he inflicted nropoai- on the people of Louysiana. This obliged him to make compiniuu. new propositions to his majesty on the 5th of July, 1714, with the view of enabling the officers, soldiers and other employees, whom the King maintained in the colony, to receive their pay more promptly, as well as consignments of goods and munitions, either for public works, or for keeping up the forts, or for the presents annually made to the Indians, and the propositions were accepted. He had some months previously presented other memoirs full of complaints on various topics, and which disclose the fact that great complaints were made in Louysiana against his monopoly. His complaints were . 1. That the weakness of the French in that colony drew on them the contempt of the Indians, and left them unable to prevent those savages from con- stantly making war on each other, the result of which was, that it was impossible to establish any kind of trade in the country, nor consequently to send ships from 11 { i 86 HISTORY OF NEW PRANCE. 1716-36. France without risking the losa of all the expenses of out* ^ ^^"^' fit. 2. That the English were coining very near the French, who cantoned on the Maubile River and Dauphin Island, where the lamls are worthless, left open to the English all the banks of the Mioissipi, where nothing prevented their settling, and then penetrating to New Mexico and New Biscay : this was a general complaint among intrlligeut persons. 3. That the indifiference mani- fested in France for Louysiana was inexplicable. Mr. Crozat did not hesitate to aver that if the advantages to be derived from it were considered, there was no colo- ny which it was more important for the state to preserve and extend. The maritime commerce, said he, is almost reduced to nothing. Yet it is only by the voyages of merchantmen in time of peace that sailors are formed, whom the King can employ in his naval forces when war is declared. Hence it is, as a general thing, important to extend navigation, and by the different settlements which might be made in Louysiana, there is hope, if the work is seriously begun, that the commerce of that country will in a few years employ a considerable number of ships. So well are the EngUsh convinced of the importance of the Louysiana colony, that it is only necessary to ask the Marshal d'Uxelles what he heard them say at Utrecht about our settlement on the Micissippi. Their conduct since that time justifies day by day what the memoir put forward on this point. 4. And this is Crozat's worst complaint, and at the same time his reply to the objec- tions made him that after undertaking with the King to colonize Louysiana and establish there all kinds cf trade, of which he admitted it was capable, it was nevertheless in a worse condition than when he took control of it.

The Letters Pat- ent of the former, in the form of an edict, entitled " Es- tablishment of Trade under the name of the Western Company," registered iu the parliament on the 6tli of Sep- tember in the same year, declared that his majesty grants to the said company for twenty-five years : 1st, The commerce of Canada on condition of extend- ing cultivation and plantations. 2d, To carry on exclusively for the space of twenty-five years, counting from the day of registration, trade in the province and jurisdiction of Louysiana, and in perpetuity all the lands, ports, coasts, harbors and islands which composed that province, to enjoy in all property, seignory and justice, reserving to himself no right or duty, except simple fidelity and liege homage, which the said company shall be bound to render him ; and to his successors, at every change of king, with a gold crown weighing thirty marks.

The Sieur Dague ""»"^ de Boisbriand accompanied them, bearing the orders of Arrival of the King,* or rather of the Oompany, which, under his majesty's good pleasure, had appointed him Commandant ut the Illinois, Mr. de Bienville Commandant-General of Lonysiana and Director of the Company, and Mr. de Faillonz Major-Qeueral. De Boisbriand ascended to the Illinois without delay, taking with him Mr. Diron and the Chevalier d'Artaguette, both brothers of the former Com- missaire Ordonnateur; the former was a captain, and eie long was declared Inspeotor-Qeneral of Louysiana; the latter was a lieutenant. At the same time several Indian tribes, some of which Imd long seemed hostile to the French, like the Chetima- cLas, settled on the Mioissippi, quite near New Orleans, and as most of these tribes are accustomed to the cultiva- tion of the soil, they cleared large tracts, which was a re- source for the city, since the Indians often in need sup- plied it with provisions. Some of the Concessionaries also 8out part of their people up this river, and the advanta- ges they found there for settling permanently, made all who had the general good at heart, regret that the other Concessionaries were prevented from adopting the same course. The uneasiness at first entertained in regard to the English had vanished ; all the tribes bordering on the Micissipi lived on very good terms with us, and the only means of arming ourselves against the intrigues of the former and the inconstancy of the latter, was to fortify and people the colony.* In the month of June of this same year, de Bienville took possession of St. Joseph's Bay, fifty leagues east of Dauphin Island.'

The reasons which brought Mr. de Bienville and the Company to this were : Ist, That the post is useless, not only on account of its great distance and want of security for ships there, but chiefly on ac- count of the impossibility of defending the entrance, which is more than a good league in width. 2nd, That it is extremely inconvenient, both in regard to the diffi- culty of landing reinforcements, for you have to wait for the proper moment, which frequently will not occur for a week, or even a fortnight ; and on account of the sterility of the soil, which for more than four leagues around is nothing but bare sand, and on account of the insalubrity of the air, which in all that country is very unhealthy, all our soldiers having been very sick there. This occa- sioned many desertions, which there was no way to pre- vent. 3rd, That the vessels are not sheltered there from 4ny wind, and the viiter to be found there is very oad.

In the month >7i9> of February, 1719, de Serigny arrived in Louysiana with three ships,' announced that war was declared with Spain, and showed the orders he had received to take Fensacola. The bay which bears that name was, accord- ing to the Spaniards, first discovered by Pamphilo du Narvaez,' who landed there in his unhappy Florida expe- dition.' Subsequently, Diego de Maldonado, one of Her- nando de Soto's captains, rediscovered it and gave it the name of Port of Anchusi.* In 1558, Don Tristan de Luna named it Saint Mary's Bay," and in 1693, Don An- dres de Pes, General of the Barlovento fleet, haviug gone to explore it, added to tL: last name that of Galve, in honor of the Count of Qalve, then Viceroy of Mexico.* Accordingly among Spaniards, the bay is known only un- der the name of Santa Maria de Galve. And the name of Fensacola, that of the native inhabitants of the spot, who have been destroyed by other Indians, is retained by the province, to which the Spaniards assign a very great extent.' In 1696, Don Andres de Arriola having been appoint- .^ ^^^ ed first Governor of this province, proceeded to take pos- taken from session, and on the Bay of Santa Maria de Galve, built a Spaniards. fort with four bastions, which he styled Fort San Carlos ; with a church and some houses;'* and the place was in ' Ftoicaat, ch. 21, § 1.

De Serigny began by convening a great council of war, the decision of which was, that Messrs. de Bienville and de Chateau- gue, his brothers, should summon to Maubile all the In- dian allies, all the French settlers, voyageurs and con- cessionaries, and lead them overland to Fensacola, while the three vessels,' after taking on board a hundred and fifty soldiers, should enter the bay. All this was carried out with great secrecy and diligence. On the 14th of May, at ten o'clock in the morning, Mr. de Serigny entered the bay: Don Juan Pedro de Matamoros,' Governor of Fort San Carlos, who was not in a condition to resist, had just sent to Don Gregorio de Salinas, Governor of St. Joseph, to a&k him for assist- ance ; but he had no time to receive it. Serigny began by opening a brisk fire, and, although it lasted five hours, the Spaniards pretend to have had only one man killed.' The fire having ceased, the Governor sent an infantry cap- tain to know from the French commandant, the cause of so unforeseen a hostility. De Serigny sent this officer back with a French captain, who informed Don Juan that war had been declared and published in France on tl 14th of January, and summoned him to surrender the place.

Hence, the same day, before the expiration of the term granted him, he oa< pitulated on the following conditions : 1st, That two vessels should be furnished him, provi- sioned to go to Havana. 2nd, That the Spaniards should take with them neither arms nor munitions of war. drd, That all hostilities should cease for a week after the departure of the garrison, and in case of their putting back, for a week more.' As soon as this capitulation was signed by the two commandants, the garrison on the 15th marched forth and encamped outside. Mr. de Chateaugue entered with three hundred n:en, and began by making an inventory of all he found there. On the 18th of June, the Governor of Pensaoola sailed for Havana with four hundred Span- iards on the Comte de Toulouse and the Marechal Yillars, commanded by Mr. Mecuin and the Chevalier de Grieu.' These two ships were attacked ofif the coast of Cuba by English privateers, who, not perceiving the superiority of their antagonists until they were so engaged that they could not easily escape, sont to apologize to the commandants for mistaking t1>em for Spaniards.' This might be ; but it is well kuo.vn that such mistakes are so common with the English, that we would be justified in not always overlooking them.

The French commandants, on their side, seeing a whole fleet bearing down upon ♦;hem, wore ; but the wind suddenly falling, thej took heart from the fact that as they carried the Qovernor and garrison of Pensa- cola, the capitulation of that place should serve as a safe conduct. The memoir which I found on this afl'air in the D^pot de la Marine, says that the Spanish comman- dant demanded that the French should restore to him all (hose of his nation who were on their ships ; that they re- fused, and that on thip. .refusal, the fleet turned towards Havana and obliged them to enter the port with it, though they did not wish to go in. The Spanish histo- rian avers, on the contrary, that Garrascosa put a guard on board the two French frigates, ana entered Havana with his fleet and the two prizes to receive his general's orders.* Tbe Be that as it may, Don Oregorio Guafo, postponing P^rapu'e'to ^^^ Carolina expedition to some other season, thought he Penwcou. sliould begin by recapturing Pensacola ; he even thought it his duty to reinforce his fleet with all the garrison of that place, with a hundred and fifty men drawn from the forts at Havana, and with a number of volunteers, whom the hope of conquering all Louysiana, enticed to take part in this expedition. He retained the two frigates to employ them in conveying the French to San Domingo and Cumana, Lad to carry to those two cities the provi- sions of whijh they stood in the greatest need.

The Viceroy had anticipated him : informed of the capture of Pensacola by the Gov- ernor of Saint Joseph, and warned by a Franciscan Father, who was in that place when it surrendered to de Serigny, that the French had undertaken its capture only with the view of penetrating to New Mexico, he had at once dispatched couriers to all the ports of New Spain, with orders to all vessels and mariners whom they met, to proceed to Vera Cruz. He had at the same time made a levy of men on all sides, and had no embarrassment ex- cept to find shipping enough to embark all this force, when Don Francisco Cornejo entered the port of Vera Cruz with five men-of-war of the Barlovento Fleet. The Viceroy ordered him to prepare to sail to Pensacola, but as Cornejo was on the point of starting, the Viceroy sent him a countermand, to defer his departure till he had given him a reinforcement. Meanwhile, the change in the destination of the Hava- na fleet Lad not been to the taste of all who had em- barked in it, and more than four hundred deserted before it sailed out of port. This mishap did not disconcert the Governor; he trusted that the valor of those who re- mained faithful to him would make up for numbers, and contented himself with embarking sixty grenadiers of his garrison in place of the deserters. On the 29th of June, Don Alphonso Carrascosa set sail, having in all only eight hundred and fifty men, including regulars, volun- teers and marines on twelve vessels, three frigates, and nine bilanders. As soon as he was in sight of Saint Jo- seph, he sent Lieutenant-Colonel Don Bruno de Cavalle- ro to the Governor of the fort, Don Gregorio de Salinas, to learn from him the actusd situation of the French at Pensacola.

Ou this report, Carrascosa ran up to within half a league of Feusaoola Bay,' and anchoring during tliu night, h'ent off a detachment of a hundred men, who, with- out aieoting any resistance, took possession of Point Si- guen9a, which is the western extremity of Santa Bosa Island. Fifty soldiers of the garrison of Pensaoola im- modia'ely came in and surrendered,* assuring them ttmt they had only to show themselves, to become masters of the fort; that all the French who were shut np there were good servants of the King of Spain, and would open the gates as soon as they appeared. This .i^urrison had been very badly selected ; it was composed entirtij of deserters, salt smugglers, forced emigrants to Lcuisiii- na and other like ruhhi.^.h, wh m it was imprudent to col- lect in too large a body. The Spanish commander hiin- solf also entered the bay ir a sloop, to iospect the real state of affairs. He saw two frigates, and had perfect leisure to examine them ; reconnoitred the furt at his ease, as the oannon fired at him did not reach. Betnrning to Point Siguen^a, he ordered all the bilanders tu enter the port, and as soon as they came to anchor, they opened a cau- r JL^ ie on the frigateb and fort. The two frigates replied briskly, but this did not prevent one of them being boarded and taken. The crew of the other set fire to it and retired within the fort, which was at once invested by all the bilanders.

The Marquis de Valero, charmed to learn that Fensacola had returned to the rule of his royal mas- ter, at once ordered Cornejo to set sail and to add to his squadron the ships just arrived from Havana under the command of Don Francisco Guerrero, in order to expel the French entirely from the Gulf of Mexico.

He then thought of reducing Dauphin Island, and sent a detachment of three hundred picked men, including sev- eral Frenchmen,' giving the command to Oaptain Don Antonio Mendieta,* with instructions to approach the island as near as possible, in order to reconnoitre the number of soldiers and Indians who defended it.

The prisoners were all -^ t^' French deserters; Yilinville sent them to Mr. de Blain- ville, who, for want of hangmen to run them up, toma- hawked seventeen, and sent the eighteenth to de Serigny, who hung him.' While this was going on in Maubile Biver, Don Este- Berigny van Berroa set sail with the Mar^ohal de Villars and an- *uf«XeD- other ship,' with orders to attack the Philippe, and to puuippt land on Dauphin Island all Mendieta's detachment, and a number of joldiers whom he had taken on board for that purpose ; to bum the town if possible, so as to drive off the Indians and force them to leave the island ; in a word, to do all that prudence might sugguHt as best for the service of the King, his master. He also bore a summons addressed to the Captain of the Philippe, iu these terms: Sir : I send you my boat to summon you to surrender, and not injure your vessel ; otherwise, I will treat you as incendiaries, and show no quarter to any one. I will not even spare Mr. de Chateaugu^, your brother, or your friend, who is in my power with the garrison of Pensa- cola, it being the will of my King, Philip, to treat with all rigor those taken with arms in their hands; while those who surrender, shall meet all possible leniency, and receive all the aid they need.'

Thus Berroa soon perceived that it would not be easy to succeed in his enterprise. As soon as he joined Mendieta, he learned from that officer that the island was daily filling up with French and Indians, all well armed, and a landing was nowhere practicable. Repulse ot He nevertheless attempted a descent on the little Isle Sraniards QuiUory, which is almost connected with Dauphin Island ; igiand. but this detachment found Canadians and Indians there, who repulsed them, killing more than thirty men.' Two days after, the commandant having embarked on the Mardchal de Yillars, and hoisted the great royal stand- ard of Spain, appeared with another sL^p, a great flibus- tier boat, carrying ten guns, and with seven sloops. He approached Dauphin Island, and the next day the two ships anchored within gun-shot of the Philippe. The sloops, which were all filled with soldiers, and the great boat at the same time, entered the port, as if wittt the de- sign of cannonading the town, and under favor of their guns, e£fecting a landing ; but they found all the French and Indians in such an attitude, that they durst not attempt anything. They renowed the same manceuvre for foui- teen days in succession, sometimes at one place, and sometimes at another, and were everywhere forced to draw off without doing anything. Yet there were oi ithe whole island only two hundred Indians, and fewer anadians and volunteers, on whom Mr. de Serigny could depend. The soldiers, to the number of eighty men, were of the same stamp as those who had deserted at Fensacola, and he had to distrust them as much as he did the enemy. What most incommoded the Spaniards, was the cannon of the Philippe, which was anchored within pistol-shot of the land, and a barbette battery, which de Serigny had ' They were commanded by Tru- Harpo, Journal Historique, p. 1?6. deau, a Canadian.

At last, on the 26th, they weighed anchor and sailed back to Pensacola. The extent of their loss could not be precisely ascertained, but there was every reason to deem it considerable. Their greatest error was their laclt of persistence, for had they continued to blockade Dauphin Island for never so short a time, they would infallibly have taken it. The besieged had been sleeping on the sand for three weeks, and could scarcely stand any longer ; most of them were actually sick.' During this time the general had not been idle or free ^^^ from trouble. He had wisely deemed it necessary to Pensacoi*. build a fort at the point of Santa Bosa Island, to defend tho entrance to the harbor ; and on this he employed all the negroes he had succeeded in taking from the French. What most retarded these works was the frequent alarms given to Fort St. Charles by the Indians ; and when the Go«rernor wished to make sorties upon them, these In- dians leaped, says the Spanish historian, like goats on the mountain tup, where it was impossible to follow them. This, with the first information which Carrascosa received from Don Estevan Berroa, as to the impossibility of tak- ing the PhiUppe and landing on Dauphin Island, finally convinced him that he required a larger force to put an end to this war. A brigautine detached from Vera Cruz had assured him that the great reinforcement promised him would soon arrive ; he expected provisions from Ha- vana ; the fort at Point Siguen^a was almost finished, as well as a fifteen gun battery that was to command the en- trance of the harbor; they were diligently laboring to make Fort St. Charles proof against any in-tult; but hunger began already to be sensibly felt, and sickness be- gan to spread. The hope of receiving the supplies, announced as very near at hand, for a time sustained the troops, but as the n' n L' .:' ' Bienville to tbe ininigter, Oct. 20, 1719; B^nard de la Hrrpe, pp. 155-8.

Men even began to think .^re long, that the expected succors were lost, it not heiai probable that the Viceroy of Mexico and the Governor of Havana would have neglected to send them at the time they had set, and some said openly that their departure should no longer be delayed, as they had only just provisions enough to carry them to Havana. The general was so fortunate as to succeed in quelling this incipient mutiny, but he was soon after notified that five sail had been seen near Dauphin Island; that the captain of a bilander had sent his longboat to reconnoi- tre them, and that this boat, having gone too near, had been detained.' There was then no doubt that they were French ships, and this opinion was confirmed by the fact that for three days past not a band of Indians had been seen near Pensacola This led to the conclusion that these savages had joined the French troops to invest the fort by land, while the ships attacked by sea. The Gov- ernor of San Carlos, the first to receive this tidings, thought it the best expedient to burn the fort to prevent the French from establishing themselves there, and to carry to the fort on Siguenfa Point all his artillery and munitions. But as be was almost alone in this opinion, he bade the general do what he deemed best for the King's service.' Arrival of The next morning tk<) captain of another bilander assured otuuupmuin the general that the ships which he had seen were mer- •quadron. chantmen of from twenty to twenty-six guns at the most, but it was soon after reported to him, that six men-of-Tirar were in sight to the southeast. He at first took it for Cornejo's squadron, but was soon undeceived, and it was evident that they were French vessels.' Carrascosa re- ' Barcia, Ensayo Cronologioo, pp. 8S7-9.

He ordered the two other frigates and the Mardchal de Yillars, having reinforced them with a hun- dred men, to do the same thing, and draw up in line of battle, leaving only one side free at Fort Siguenga; he drew all his other vessels up in line, and sent word of all to the Governor of San Oarlos. The latter, on his side, had at once made out the ships to be French, because the moment they turned to approach the mouth of the har- bor, he was attacked by a large body of Indians, with Frenchmen, as he judged, among them. In fact, the Count de Ohampmelin, commanding the squadron, having arrived in sight of Dauphin Island on the 31st of August, anchored the next day in the road- stead of that island with five men-of-war and two of the Company's ships. He met in the channel two Spanish bilcuders, cruising there to cut o£f communication be- tween the island and Manbile, but on sighting his squad- ron, they set sail for Pensacola. On the other hand, Mr. de Serigny, before communicating with Mr. de Champ- melin, had notified Mr. de Bienville to assemble the In- dians with all tlie French he could find, and march with them to Dauphin Island ; this done, he proceeded to sa- lute the Count de Champmdlin and report to him the po- sition of affairs. A few days after, Bienville arrived, and on the fifth the general held a great council of war. It was there decided that de Bienville should invest the fort at Pensacola by land with the four or five hundred In- dians, and that Mr. de Serigny should remain with Mr. Man, S6, Capt. de Roquefeulllo ; Tri- ton, 64, Capt. de Vienne ; the Union, 48, Capt. de la ManciUiere-Gravfi and the Marie, Capt.

On the seventh, Dardennes, a Canadian, who had been sent to Pensacola to endeavor to reconnoitre the condi- Ponsacoia. ^^Jq^ ^f ^j^g place, reported that he had counted eight ves- sels at anchor o£f St. Bosa Island, the masts lowered and the yards sheered up; that he had perceived a number of tents on the island and many men walking there ; that the fort at Pensacola seemed to him in very good condi- tion ; that the bastion on the northeast, and curtain on the north had been entirely restored, and that the garri- son durst not sally forth by day or night, such was their fear of the Indians. On the tenth, some Apalaches, also returning from a scout, brought in a Spaniard, but he was a galley slave, from whom no information could be obtained. Finally, on the twelfth, de Bienville came aboard the flagship with a troop of Canadians, to receive Mr. de Champmelm's last orders, and on the night be- tween the thirteenth and fouiteenth,' the general sig- nalled to weigh anchor with three King's ships, two of the Company's frigates, the Union and Philippe, and a smali bark to aid in landing, in case of need. The Western Company had recently sent to Louysiana two hundred and fifty men of the late levies ; these were distri'outed among the King's vessels. Bienville's orders were to proceed by sloop to Rio Perdido with the sol- diers and volunteers to join the Indians whom the Chevalier de Lcngueville' was to bring thither, and whom he in fact found there. Bienville then detached a body of French and Indians to harass the garrison of Pensacola, and prevent any one from leaving the fort. This was punctu- ally carried out.

The Canadians declared thht they would pass with ease; but several Spanish and French pilots maintained that he would not find more than eigh- teen feet of water. On the moraing of the seventeenth the general ordered all the sloops and boats of the squadron to go and sound the bay ; Mr. de Yienne, the Chevalier de Goyon and Mr. de Serigny embarked, and nowhere found less than twenty-two feet, but the tide was high and Mr. de Champmelin still hesitated to risk the King's ships. Mr. de Serigny pledged his head that he would take them in, and the whole council of war favored the projected passage.' In fact, though the tide was quite low when the squad- ron got under weigh, it found twenty-one feet of water everywhere except in one spot, where the Hercules, by not exactij^ following the channel, touched slightly, but without sustaining any injury. The ships Comte de Tou- louse, Marechal de Yillars, St. Louis, and a small frigate of eighteen gnu?., were anchored with a spring upon the cable,' just within the entrance of the harbor, under the guns of the fort at the point of Santa Bosa Island or Si- guen9a, which had fourteen mounted, and nearer the shore lay seven bilanders, armed with from eight to fourteen guns. The squadron entered wind astern, with the topsails on the cap, in order to have time to cannon- ade the ships and fort at the point.

Matamoros said that he would answer in two days. Mr. de Bienville, who had five hun- dred Indians and a hundred and fifty Canadians, had already refused to make terms with him, and he felt that if Mr. de Champmelin allowed Bienville to storm the place, as he threatened through Mr. de Lille, his first lieutenant, he could never hold out, yet he allowed de Lille to depart without a reply ; but his officers, to whom he imparted the summons, forced him to recall that officer. He told him that he surrendered, and lowered his fiag. Mr. de Champmelin showed great courtesy to all the offi- 'lers, and told them that he had never yet seen so gallant a defence ; it was indeed conducted with great ardor and valor.' ■ Barcia, Eneayo Cronologico, p. 860.

Early in the morning of the 24th, a brigantine was per- ceived, which, without mistrusting, entered the port; it wus commanded by Andrew Gonzales, bringing from Ha- vana the provisions so long expected at Pensacola. Mr. Champo^elin seized it and found wherewith to relieve all his mou, who needed it extremely. Gonzales was also bearer of several letters, of which the general delivered only such as he deemed proper.

Mr. de Champmelin bit- terly reproached the Spanish General and oflBcers with this ; but he did not think it right to take any other ven- geance than by treating kindly all the prisoners of their nation in his hand >. He nevertheless thought it his duty to write to the Govcnoi" of Havana ; he then sentenced the Frenc^ taker ns in hand against the King; the most guilty ■> ;[ed, the rest condemned to the galleys.'

It was therefore resolved to de- molish two bastions on the land side, preserving only the two facing the port, and to leave there an officer, two ser- geants, twenty soldiers and twelve Indians.' On the third of October, the frigate Duke de Noailles arrived at Fensacola and delivered to the Count de Champmelin letters, by which he was ordered to winter with his squad- ron in Louysiana, inasmuch as information had reached the Court of France that a strong squadron had left Spain for the Gulf of Mexico ; but the condition in which his ships and crews were, rendered this >rder impracticable. On the eleventh a Spaniard, sole survivor of the crew of a storeship of twenty-four guns, intended to revictual St. Joseph's Bay, stated that he had sailed from Vera Cruz sixteen days previously ; that he had left there five men-of-war, carrying each from fifty to seventy guns ; two frigates and three bilanders, with a great number of land troops, who were preparing to come and seize all the posts occupied by the French in Louysiana.

This man told him that he had come from Vera Cruz in the ship then in sight ; that he and two others had been sent ashore in the boat, which had been lost ; that his comrades were drowned, and that he had es- caped by swimming. Soon after, the ship fired three guns, as if to recall the boat, and the longboat was seen putting oflP. It landed at Point Siguen^a, with casks to take in water. It was captured, and those in it said that they had sailed from Vera Cruz thirty-five days before, and that their ship was loaded with stores, and a r forcement of a hundred men for Pensacola ; that \e northeast wind had detained them at Dauphin l ' xnd, and that they had endeavored to take in water tlb- >, . it had been prevented. The next morning the ship, which had anchored outb..de the bay, fired a gun to recall its longboat, but as "id ot return, she lay to where she was till eleven o'clock. But then a violent southeast wind forced her to enter and an- chor. The Count de Champmelin hoisted his fiag. This ship was commanded by Don Francisco de la Peiia, one of the captains of the Barlovento Fleet. As soon as he saw the French flag he lowered his, and the g neral sent to demand the letters which he had from the Viceroy.' He gave them and they confirmed all that was already known of the designs of tlie Spaniards. This informa- tion did not alter at all the resolution to depart which Mr. de Champmelin had formed, as sickness was increasing in his ships. The Mars, however, had orders to remain till its crew recovered from the pestilence, which had not left the ship from the time of its arrival in America.

These arrangements made, Mr. de Cbampmdlin's next thought was to reward the Indians for the zeal they had displayed for the French nation sinoe the commencement of this war. Mr. de Saint Denys, who was greatly be- loved by these tribes, received orders to assemble them, and he made them chant the calumet in honor of the gen- eral, who attended with all his officers. He then ad- dressed them in the general's name, exhorting them to re- main ever attached to the French, whose superiority over their enemy they had just witnessed. When he had end- ed his address, presents were distributed to all in the King's name, and they were sent off highly pleased. On the 21st,' as the squadron was about to set sail, a bilander was seen endeavoring to enter the bay, wind astern. It was seized, and the captain declared that he had cleared from Vera Cruz eighteen days before in com- pany with a 44 gun ship, and three others of thirty, eighteen and twelve guns, and another bilander ; that three ten gun ships had remained in port, the pestilence having broken out among the crews ; that General Cor- nejo in person was in the largest ship ; that it was his de- sign to join the Uovernor of Pensacola, to aid him in conquering all that was still left to the French in Louysi- ana, and that he supposed Dauphin Island and Fort Maubile already iu the power of his Catholic maje.sty ; that moreover, a gale having siparuted his bilander from the squadron three days after its departure from Vera Cruz, he did not know what had become of it. This news decided Mr. de Champmelin to remain some days longer at Pensacola, awaiting the Spanish squad- ron, but as it did not appear, he hoisted sail and started for France again.'

Be that as it may, de Champmdlin had scarcely sailed when the Chevalier de Saiijon arrived in Louysia* na with a new squadron,' nud his presence contributed in no slight degree to prevent anything being undertaken by the Spaniards. He then wished to go to St. Joseph's Bay and capture that post ; but this was not the opinion of Mr. de Bienville, who had taken possession of it the year before, and soon after abandoned it on account of its uselessness and the difilculties of defending it, or ap- proaching it, or sbelteriug vessels there, and especially on account of the sterility of the country, which is adapted to no natural products. Mr. de Serigny, too, remarked that the famine which threatened the colony would pre- vent any delay in the departure of the Company's ships, which it was intended to use on this expedition, and on which he saw himself compelled to send back many of the people to France. Mr. de Saujon did not insist, and as there was no longer anything to detain him in America, he sailed for France.' De Seriguy followed soon after: he set sail June 27, 1720,' and ou reaching Brest he learned that the King had appointed him captain of ships of the line ; a re- ward well merited by his valor, his good conduct, and the "^^"f "'^" zeal with which he had served his prince from childhood ; an^a nrrlvai having never been promoted to any rank in the navy till "'y^uf^ 1720.

Three duyn after his departure, two of the King's vessels, the Toulouse and the Henry, which had sailed from Toulou uudor the command of Messrs. de Volette' and de Cufaro, arrived in wretched plight at the roadstead oS Dauphin Inland. The Jesuit Father Laval, royal professor of hydrography at the port of Toulou, was on board, having come to make observa- tions in Louysiaua, aud especially to dx the longitude of the mouth of the Micissipi ;* but the peHtileuoe having broken out on both vessels, Mr. de Cafaro died on the voyage ;' the chaplaius were not able to attend the sick, who were very numerous ; accordingly, that religious, feel- ing that science is only an accessory to a man of his pro- fession, thought the duty of his ministry paramount to any good to be expected from his astronomical obse*'va- tions : he did not go to the Micissipi, although he was only fourteen leagues distant from it : he did not leave the crews, employing in his observations only the mo- ments he stole from sleep. This conduct elicited high praise from the prince who presided in the Navy Council.* Meanwhile, the Fort of the Natchitoches was always maintained, and some detachments of concessions had ad- vanced in that direction, in hopes of acquiring wealth by trade with the Spaniards, a chimerical hopu, which pre- vented their adopting surer methods of makiug a solid settlement elsewhere, and which finally ruined them.

Mr. de Chuteaugu^, who hud proceeded from Havana to France, also re- turned at the same time, with the rank of King's Lieu- tenant, and resumed command of Fort Saint Louis at Maubile. Finally, de Bienville again established the headquarters of Louysiana at Biloxi, and tixod his resi- dence there, with the greater part of the troops and the Directors of the Company, of which he was the presiding officer. No further fears were entertained of the Spaniards, be- tjjf„ji*<,j cause from the preceding yeiir while Mr. du Vulette was v^^ee. still at Dauphin Island, positive information had come that two Spanish ships of sixty-six and sixty-seven guns, commanded by two commodores, and which were to join the Vera Cruz fleet to surprise Peusucola, had received counter orders at Havana, and that this change was caused by a suspension of hostilities between the two crowns. The cuurt of Madrid feeling, no doubt, that the restitution of Fensacola would be one of the articles of the treaty of peace then negotiating, thought it needless to incur useless expense, and the result was as she had foreseen.' It was a favorable opportunity to establish the couces- Urnucccu- sions, who did not cease to arrive from Franco, and who, prise at' well managed, would in a fow years have peopled botli ' ijJiy" banks of the Micissipi up to the Illinois ; but the sole aim of the Directors of the Company was to got near the Spaniards, and prevent their settling in our vicinity.

But all that hap- "-^v— ' pened should have been anticipated ; that colony having been settled almost entirely by people sent over by force, or Concessionaries who did not find there what they had been led to expect ; for soon the only thought of either was to get out of it ; numbers died of misery or disease, and the country was emptied as rapidly as it had filled. For their part, the deserters everywhere adduced the >,eces8ity to which they were driven, of providing for themselves elsewhere, by the refusal to give them the very necessaries of life. Some even wrote to the Begis- seurs of Louysiana ' in terms that showed how much the step they had just taken cost them ; and this was still more clearly evinced by what happened in the month of Au- gust of this came year. One Duclos, commanding a coaster with a very rich cargo, was met by a party of these deser- ters, who merely took from him some provisions and liquors, without touching his merchandise. On his ex- pressing his surprise, the^' replied that they were not rob- bers, but decent men, whom necessity forced to seek life in other nations, since their own let them perish with hun- ger. The most malcouteut were the soldiers, who re- ceived absolutely nothing but brend, while meat was dis- tributed to the Company's workmen, and even to the cri- minals, who were quite frequently employed by the settlers. To crown the misfortunes, on the Tith of September, at Hurricane ten in the evening, ther'3 rose on the Micissipi a hurri- effects, cane, which lasted iu all its fury till noon on the following day, and was felt as far as Natchez in one direction, and Biloxi iu the other. At New Orleans, the church, hospi- tal and thirty houses or log huts were thrown down ; all the other edifices were injured. No lives were lost, but some of the sick iu the hospital were wounded.

In the settlements above and below the city there was not a building stand« ing. Biloxi suffered even more; all the houses and stores were overthrown, and as the sea overflowed its bounds, a part of that post was inundated. The coasters which were in the roadstead were driven on the islands, or on the mainland. There was even one, the captain of which alone escaped with a cabin boy, having spent twen* ty-four hours on the yard-arm ; the rest of the crew were drowned. Several periaguas, coming down to New Or- leans loaded with provisions and poultry, were wrecked.

But the colony, though relieved as far as this tribe was 1722. ooncemed, not only the bravest in all Louysiana, but also """v— ^ the most to be feared in consequence of its relations with Hostuiti#« the English, soon saw that it could depend on the j^a^tchu. fidelity of the Natchez only so long as they kept on their guard against that naturally treacherous nation. In fact, these savages no sooner perceived that the French, en- gaged in other affairs, paid less attention to their doings, than they renewed their outrages, and displayed aU their ill will, of which it will be soon seen the authoritiec were not sufficiently on their guard. At the same time sad tidings came from the Blinoia. The Mr. de Boisbnand, warned that the (Illiuois) of the Bock nunou all and of Pimiteouy were besieged by the Foxes, L .d em- ""the"" barked with the Chevalier d'Artaguette and the Sieur du ^^'■'^P'- TisDti, both captains, several other officers and a detach- ment of a hundred men, to hasten to their deliverance, and had ordered forty Frenchmen and four hundred In- dians to march by land to Pimiteouy and await him there ; but when each division had got about half way, they learned that the Foxes had retreated with a loss of more than a hundred and twenty of their men. This success did not, however, prevent the Illinois, although they had lost only about twenty men, with some women and chil- dren, from leaving the Bock and Pimiteouy, where they were kept in constant alarm, and proceeding to unite with those of their brethren who had settled on the Micissipi ; this was a stroke of grace for most of them, the small number of missionaries preventing their supplyin so many towns, scattered far apart ; but on the other s as there was nothing to check the raids of the Foxes mg the Illinois Biver, communication between L01 \ siana and New France became much iess practicable. Some time after they received a very severe cht k from the Sieur de Saint Ange, the officer at Fort C u-tres in the Illinois, who, having drawn a large body of mem into a kind of ambuscade, cut them almost all to pieces ; other less numerous bands met the same fate soon after : but ■(. ;•( i 1: UH !.

Several Natchez came out openly against us,' and what TbeNaU most embarrassed de Bienville was the fact that the pcaco with brother of the Great Chief was at their head. To make ' a lasting arrangement with this nation, it would have been necessary to have this man, who was the author of all the evil, given up to the Qovernor by his own brother, and there was no way to drive the latter to it. The wis- dom and firmness of the Sieur Dehetto, who commanded at that post, extricated de Bienville from this difficulty. That commandant so adroitly worked on the mind of the Great Chief, as to bring him to resolve to go in person and put his brother at the discretion of the general, who, on his side, generously pardoned an humbled enemy and gained liim. Great marks of confidence were given on both sides, and this good understanding would to all ap- peal ance have been durable, bad Mr Delietto lived lon- ger. He 'vas already dt ^^ .. L^_ I reached Natchez at the close of the year 1722, aud the r^ood understanding, it seemed to me, was still perfect between the French and Indians. A little mor<^ distrust and precaution on the side of the former, would undoubtedly have deprived the latter of the >'t.ry thought of regarding them diflferontly, aud prevented the evils of which we shall soon speak. ' A quarrel arose between a 8er- geanl and B(".\e Indians a)>out a debt, and the guard in trying to re- store peace, killed a chiefs son and wounded some others. B^nard de la UariH), p. 343.

Troops were Su-nt up under tiie Sieur Pn.von, in four batteaus ; but the Stung tScrpent,tljfn Great Chief, fined three Tillages to make repara- tion. These villages in retaliation began killing the cattle and horses of the settlers. Bienville went up with u French and Indian force, but after a fight at one cabin, the Natches of the Apple Village fied, and Bionrille burnt the town, which stood near Se- cond Creek.

It is not easy to saj what had hitherto prevented their affording the colonists settled in the different parts of Loajsiana the spiritual succors so necessary to new set- tlements, even on the ground of sound policy. How- ever, on my return from America in the commencement of the year 1723, I found the court and the Oompany equally surprised at the destitution in which I showed this rising colony to be in this essential point, and the Directors of the Company made it their most pressing duty to remedy this great disorder. They cast their eyes on the Capuchin Fathers, and having obtained seve- ral, distributed them in the quarters where there were the greatest number of French dwellings.' It was no less important to have missionaries among the Indians amid whom we were settled. We have seen that the salvation of these tribes was always the main ob- ject which our kings kept in view before all else, wherever they extended their dominion in the New World, and the experience of nearly two centuries had taught us that the surest means of binding the natives of the country to us. ' In 1724 Bienville received or- ders to return to France ; Mr. de la Tour to take command till Mr. de Boiebriant, Qovernor ad interim, re- turned from Iliiuois. He embarked on the Bellona in 1725, but sbe sank in the Trou du Major; he then went in the Gironde.

Nor oonld it moreover be UDknown that even independent of the fruit which the evangelical laborers might produce among them, the mere presence of a man, venerable by his office, understanding their language, able to observe their conduct, and able by gaining the confidence of some to learn their designs, is often better than a garrison, or may at least supply its place, and give the governors time to take steps to defeat their plots. The example of the Illinois, who had since 1717 been incorporated with the government of Louysia- na, was sufficient to show how important it was not to leave the other nations any longer without missionaries.' The India Company saw this, and in the year 1725 applied to the Jesuits, a great number of whom offered themselves for this new mission. But as the Supe- riors could not grant permission to all to devote them- selves to it, and there were not enough to give some to all the tribes, the commandant and directors thought best to place the first who arrived in positions where there were no Capuchins, whence it happened that the Natchez, the very people whom it was most important to enlighten, had none, and the fault thus committed was not perceived till it was irreparable.* Provision was at the same time made for the education of the young French girls at the capital and its vicinity, by bringing over Ursulines from France ; and to avoid multiplying establishments in a colony which scarcely be- ' Cliicagoa, chief of tbB IUIuoIb, and some ctiiefH of the Mlesuuris, Osageg andOtoptataii went to France in 1725.

Although everything seemed quiet in tiie country, the new commandant soon saw the necessity of having more troops than he found there.

But when he reoeived this letter, he had only too strong evidence to disprove these insulting suspicions, in an invent which soon changed the minds of those whose advice had been taken rather than his. In the letter just mentioned, and written from New Orleans, he says : " I have net been astonished that the Company has been as- sured that troops are not needed in Louysiana, or pres- ents for the Indians, to retain them as our allies ; never- theless, I have seen the men who maintained this absurd- ity, trembling to the very marrow of their bones, although there is less to be feared here than elsewhere." In another letter, dated April 1st, in the same year, he adds one thing, which shows that he knew the Indians better than those who boasted most of their knowledge of them. Speaking of these Indians, he says : " We are sure of retaining their good will as long as we give them what they wish ; but as they feel that we need them, they mul- tiply their wants in such a way that the English and our- selves are the dupes of these savages, who are much less so than we." What he proceeds to say, ih&t we shall not make them what they ought to be, till after we have thor- oughly defeated them, is not, however, true, except when they have given grounds for so treating them ; for nothing embitters them more than to make war on them without cause; but there are other means of controlling them. Mr. Ferrier was not ignorant of them; and in fact re- marks very justly in his previous letter, that the war in which he was engaged had convinced him that to escape the importunity of the Indians, who are always begging, you need only to pretend to do without them. " It is," says he, " the means to make them all wish to follow us. Then, if they are not satisfied, we can tell them that they were not invited. Although it is necessary to bind them to us by presents to avoid war, you must never so far reckon on their fidelity as to think yourself safe from insult." However, both those who depreciated Perrier with the Company, and Perrier hiixiself, either did not know or did not sufficiently consider that Christianity alone can avert e HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE. TO from UB the dangers to be apprehended from the Indians. 1726. The former judged of the Lonysiana Indians by those of ^•*'"^'"*-' Canada, where we have seen the Ab^naqois and all the Indians domiciliated in that colony enter zealously and heartily, often very disinterestedly, into all that was asked of them, and they did not consider that Christianity alone had brought them to this disposition ; the Comman^ dant-Ckneral, who had never known any Indians except those whom he had to deal with, did not sufficiently un- derstand that religion, if they could be made to appreci- ate our Holy Mysteries, would gradually correct the faults of which he complained. Be that as it may, the tranquillity enjoyed in Lonysia- na since peace had been granted to the Natchez and Chickasaws, was but a delusive calm which lulled the inhab- itants, while there was gathering around them a storm, whose most disastrous effects were averted only by mere chance, saving the country from becoming in a single day the tomb of all the French ; but which was fatal indeed to those on whom it burst, and who had no time to shield themselves from it. For several years past the Chickasaws, at the instiga- ^^^^^ tion of some English,' had formed the design of so extir- ag«iiut uu pating the whole colony of Louysiana, that not a single Frenchman should remain. They had managed their scheme with such secrecy that the Illinois, the Acansas and the Tonicas, to whom they had not ventured to impart it, aware of their tried attachment to us, had not the slightest suspicion. All the other tribes joined it; each was to fall on all the settlers marked out for it, and all were to strike the same day and the same hour. Even the Tchactas, (Choctaws,) the most numerous nation on this continent, and at all times our allies, had been won over, at least those on the east, who are called the Great Nation; those on the west, or Little Nation, had takon no part in it, but the conspirators long preserved the se- ■ Aa to Engliah Intrigaee, see 1727.

How it WW Perrier, learning that the former had had some difficulty thwarted, ^-^.j^ Dirou d'Artaguette, Eiug's-lieuteuaut and comman- dant at Fort Maubile, invited tlie chiefs of the whole na- tion to meet him at New Orleans, with the prospect of giving them complete satisfaction as to all their com- plaints. They came, and after explanations given bj them on the matter which had summoned them, they told the Commandant-Cbneral that the nation was delight ni at his sending an officer to reside in their country, and it his inviting them to come and see him. They said no more, but returned strongly inclined : 1st. To break their word with the Chickasaws, to whom they had promised to destroy all the settlements depending on Fort Maubilu. 2nd. To aot>80 as to enable the Natchez to execute tbeii- project. This the Natchez have since reproached them to their' face in presence of the French, without their ventur- ing to deny it. We have never doubted that their design was to force us to call upon them, and by this means, pro- fit by what we would give them to secure their co-opera- tion, and by the booty they would take from the Natchez. Treaeheiy The Commandant-Qeueral was thus unconsciously on Choctaws the point of seeing one portion of the colony destroye I confidence by enemies whom he did not mistrust, and betrayed by French, allios on whom he supposed he could depend, and who were in fact one of his great resources, but who wished to profit by our misfortunes. Moreover, it was all the easier for those whom the Chickasaws had won over, to succeed in their project, as no French settlement had any defence against a surprise and sudden attack. There were forts indeed, in some places, but except that at Maubile, they were only stockades, two thirds of which were decayed, and had they been in a state of defence, they could pro- tect from the fury of the Indians only a small number of the nearest dwellings. Everywhere, too, men lay in per- fect security, which would have enabled these savages to massacre all the French, even in the best-guarded places. mSTORT OP NEW PRANCB. 81 as happened on the 28th of November at the Natchez, in the manner about to be described : Mr. de Ohepar, who commanded at that post, had some little difficulty with the Indians;' but they apparently car- ried their dissimulation so far as to persuade him that the French had no more faithful allies. He was in fact so lit- tle distrustful, that when on the 27th a vague rumor spread that the Natchez were plotting something against us, he put in irons seven settlers who had come to ask his permission to assemble and take up arms to prevent a surprise.' He even carried his confidence so far as to re- ceive thirty Indians into the fort, and as many in and around his house. The others were scattered in the houses of the settlers and the workshops of the mechan- ics, two or three leagues above and below their village. The day set for the execution of the general plot had not yet come, but two things induced the Natchez to an- ticipate it. The first was the arrival just then of some batteauz well stocked with goods for the garrison of that and the Yazoo post, as well as for several settlers, and that they wished to seize them before they were dis- tributed; the second was, that the commandant had re- ceived a visit from the Messrs Kolly, father and son, whose concession was at no great distance, and from several other persons of consequence, for they saw at once that by pretending to get up a hunt, to furnish Mr. de Ohepar wherewith to regale his guests, they could all arm without exciting any suspicion. They made the proposal to the commandant, who accepted it cheerfully, and they at once proceeded to trade with the settlers to obtain guns, balls and powder, which they paid for on the spot. ■ DamoDt writes Chopart.

This done, early on Moudaj, the 28th, they scattered through the dwellings, announoing that they were about to stait for the hunt, careful to outnumber the French everywhere. They then sang the calumet in honor of the commandant and his company, after which each retomod to his post, and a moment later, at a signal of three mus- ket-shots fired successively at the door of Ohepar's quar- ters,' they began the massacre at the same time every- where. The commandant and the EoUys were the first killed ; there was no resistance except at thr house of Mr. de la Loire des Ursins,* Ohief Commissary of the India Oompany, where there were eight men.' They fought well; eight Natchez were killed there, and six French- men, the other two escaped. Mr. de la Loire had just mounted his horse ; at the first noise he heard, he endeav- ored to return to his house, but was intercepted by a party of Indians, against whom he held oat for some time, till he fell dead, pierced by many wounds, after killing four Natchez. Thus these savages lost at this point twelve men ; but that was all their treachery cost them.* Before executing their plot, they had made sure of several negroes, au>ong whom were two commanders. These had persuade* 1 the rest that under the Indians they would be free ; that our women and children should be- come their slaves, and that there was nothing to fear from the French of the other posts, as the massacre would be carried out simultaneously everywhere. It seems, how- ever, that the secret had been confided only to a small number, for fear of its taking wind. Be that as it may, two hundred men perished in this way almost in an instant.

The former had started from his Arkansas mission for some business that required his presence at New Or- leans. He arrived at the Natchez quite late on the 26th, intending to set out again the next day, after saying mass. Unfortunately for him, the Capuchin father, who exer- cised parochial functions at that place, was absent, and Father du Poisson was requested to sing high mass and preach, it being the first Sunday of Advent, and he con- sented. In the afternoon, as he was on the point of em- barking, he was informed that there were some sick per- sons at the point of death ; he attended them, adminis- tered the last sacraments to some, and deferred one till next day, as his case was not so urgent, and- it was already quite late. The next day he said mass, and then carried the Viaticum to the sick man, to whom he had promised it, and it was after performing this duty of char- ity that he was encountered by a chief, who seized him around the body, threw him to the ground, and chopped o£f his head with an axe. Mr. du Codere, who happened to be near, had already drawn his sword to defend him, when another Indian, whom he had not seen, shot him down.'

"" ^ ^ This man found the capital in great alarm ; news of the The lamo massacre had already reached it by the first who had es- thcPf^ool caped, and great fear was entertained for the French set- tlers among the Yazoos. Ot his testimony they were somewhat relieved, but this did not last long. On the 11th of December, the Jesuit Father Souel, who was missionary to the Yazoos, then mingled in the same vil- lage with the Corrois and 0£fogoulas, when returning in the evening from visiting the chief of the Yazoos, re- ceived several musket-shots as he was crossing a river, and expired on the spot. Hia murderers at once ran to his cabin to plunder it. His negro, recently baptized, and who lived quite piously, attempted to defend himself with a woodcutter's knife, and even wounded an Indian, but ho was at once pierced with thrusts. Father Souel was much beloved by these Indians, but Cawes of they rebelled at his constantly reproaching them with the Father infamous sin which brought destruction on Sodom, and to which they were greatly addicted ; and there is every pro- bability that this was the main cause of his death; for although the Yazoos and Corrois had already resolved to exterminate all the French, the very men who had slain the missionary reproached themselves with his death as soon ap ' eir blood cooled. They however soon recov- ered their natural ferocity, and began to cry that as the Chief of the Prayer was dead, no Frenchman must be spared. Early the next morning they proceeded to the fort.

The Indians were accordingly allowed to enter the fort, and when it was least expected, they rushed on the French, who were only seventeen in all ; they had not even time to attempt to defend themselves, and not one escaped. These savages spared the lives only of four women and five children, whom they made slaves. One of Father Souel's murderers at once put on his cassock, and in this attire proceeded to announce to the Natchez the massacre of all the French settlers on their river.' The Corrois joined them in this expedition. The Ofibgoulas were then on a hunt; on their return they were strongly urged to enter the plot ; but they stea- dily refused, and withdrew to the Tonicas, whom they knew to be of all the Indians the most inviolably attached to the French.

On the first day of the year 1730, he wished to say mass at Father Souel's, being ignorant of his death ; but as he feared that he would not get there till after noon, he re- solved to celebrate the Holy Mysteries at the mouth of the Yazoo River.

A moment after, the latter perceived some wild geese flying overhead; the Canadians never resist the temptation of firing when they see game ' these voyagours had only two guns loaded ; they fired both at the ge«Be, and as the father was all vested to begin moss, they did not think of reloading. The Indians noted it well, and took their plaoew be hind the French, as if they wished to hear the mass, although they were not Ohristians. As the priest was saying the Kyrie eleison, they fired. Father Doutreleau feeling himself wounded in the right arm, and seeing one of his men fall dead at his feet, knelt down to receive in that posture the death-blow, which seemed inevitable. In fact, the Indians fired three times at him, almost at the point of the muzzle, but nevertheless inflicted no new wound. Then, full of confidence in Divine Providence, whose protection was so clearly shown, he took his chal- ice and paten, and, attired as he was in his priestly vest- ments, ran to the spot where his periagua was. His two surviving men had already jumped in, and believing him dead or unable to escape from the Indians, had p,.Jsd off. The missionary waded out to reach them, and as he got into the periagua, having turned his head to uee whether he was pursued, received a charge of duck-shot in the mouth. Moat of the shot flattened against his teeth, and some entered his gums. He escaped with this, and un- dertook to steer the periagua ; his two men, one of whom had his leg broken by a musket-ball, rowing with all their might. The Indians pursued them for more than an hour, keeping up a constant fire on theui ; but seeing pur- suit useless, which surprised the missionary still more, they regained the shore. It was afterwards ascertained that on arriving at their town, they boasted of having killed a Jesuit and all his boatmen.

Our party, delivered from this alarm, dressed their wounds as well as they could, then lightened their periagua by throwing overboard everything not absolutely needed, and keeping only a little raw pork for their Bubsistenoe. On coming opposite Natchez, unconscious of what had occurred there, they ran in towards the landing, intending to rest there and have medical aid ; but seeing the near- est houses burned or demolished, durst not land. Some Indians who had discovered them, in vain invited them to approach by making every demonstration of friendship; they passed on as quick as they could. Then the Indians fired several guns at them ; but they were already out of reach. They intended also to pass the Bay of the Toni- oas without stopping, but with all the exertion in their power, a periagua, sent out to reconnoitre, soon over- hauled them. They gave themselves up for lost past all re- source, till they heard French spoken in the periagua. Then they lay to, and they recovered entirely from their fright on seeing some Frenchmen who were in the boat. They were taken ashore, where they found troops as- sembling to go and punish the Natchez. The officers lavished their attentions on Father Doutreleau, had his wounds dressed by the army surgeon, as well as that of his boatman, whose leg was broken, and after giving them rest and refreshment, they placed him and his two men ou a periagua, which they were sending to New Orleans. He promised them to return and serve as their chaplain as soon as his wounds were healed : ' he kept his word, and did not even wait till his perfect recovery before ' He reached New Orleans Jan'y 8, 1730.

But before eDtering on the aooount of the ezpe> dition preparod against the Natohez, we must describe the effect produced throughout the colony by the iidings of the massacre which these Indians had committed on so large a number of the French. Mr. Perrier was informed of it on the second of De- cember.' He at once dispatched the Siear le Merveilleux, a Swiss captain, with a detachment to warn all the set* tiers on both sides of the river to be on their guard, and to throw np redoubts at intervals, in order to secure their slaves r^nd cattle, and this was promptly executed. He then etijoined the same officer to observe closely the small tribe rf on the river, and to give arms to no Indians, ex- cept when and to whom he should direct. He at the same time dispatched a courier to summon to him Iwo Ohoctaw chiefs, who were hunting on Lake Pontohar- train. The next day a periagua from Illinois reached New Orleans, bringing a Choctaw, who asked to speak to him in private. He admitted him at once, and *Vt9 man told him that he was greatly affected by the death of the French, and would have prevented it had he not deemed a falsehood what some Ohiokasaws had told him, namely, that all the Indians were to destroy all the French settle- mento, and massacre all the men. " What prevented me," he added, "from crediting this story, was their stating that my tribe was in the plot ; but Father, if you will let me go to my country, I will immediately return to ren- der a good report of what I have done there."

Maubile; tha<< the perpetxators of the murder had not been disoovered, but that throughout the distriot it was said openly that the Ohootaws were to attack the fort and all the dwellings. The Oommandant-General would gladly have concealed this news from the settlers, who were but too panic-stricken already ; but it spread all over in less than no time, and the consternation became so great and so general that thirty Ghaouachas, who lived below New Orleans, made the whole colony tremble; this obliged Mr. Perrier to send negroes and destroy them. On the fifth he adopted the plan of sending the Saint Michael to France, to inform the Court and Company of the condition in which Louysiana was, and ask relief pro- portioned to its actual need. Two days after, one of the two Choctaw chiefs whom he had sent for, came to tell him that he had dispatched his letter to his nation, and invited all who were enemies of the Natchez to march against them, and that he advised him not to employ the smaller tribes, as he suspected them of being in concert with the Natchez. " I also suspect them," said Mr. Per- rier, " but if they are in the plot, it is because they are convinced that you, too, are implicated ; however, wheth- er you are or not, I have given good orders everywhere, and I am very glad that you know that the secret has taken wind." On the first day of January, uneasy at not receiving any dispatches from the Sieur Begis, who by his ordurH resided among the Choctaws, he dispatched the Sieur de Lusser, a Swiss captain, to ascertain the actual dispo- sition of these Indians, and on the fourth he learned that the Natchez had gone to sing the calumet to them ; this confirmed all his suspicions, and threw him into great per- plexity.' But on the 16th he received a letter from the the Sieur Begis, informing him that immediately after speaking to the Choctaws in his name, they had raised ' Perrier to the Minister, Mtrch ii., p. 20S, makes the attack on tlie 18, 1780.

The next day he received letters from de Saint Denys, the commandant at the Natchitoches, about whom he was much concerned, as some Natchitoches were seen among the Natchez at the time of the massacre of the French ; but he learned by these letters that the wisdom and vigilance of that officer had saved him from the disaster threatening his post. He had, however, great difficulty in reassuring the set- tlers, whom the sad tidings brought in from all parts, almost all with no foundation, but an alarmed imagi- nation, had hurled at once from excessive confidence to as excessive discouragement. He himself felt less sanguine, as he was fully informed that the smaller tribes had been gained by the Ohickasaws, and that if the Natchez had not anticipated the day fixed for the execution of the plot, they would have acted simulta- neously with them. He also discovered that what had induced the Natchez to precipitate their meditated blow, was their learning that at the very time that the first Choctaw chiefs who had come to New Orleans on his invitation, were on their way thither, a hundred and twenty horses loaded with English goods had entered their country. The Natchez were convinced that these two circumstances were the most fav'>rable to ensure the success of the project ; that the two Ohoctaw chiefs were going to delude the Commandaot-Qeneral by feigned protestations of fidelity, and that their nation, seeing that an alliauce with the English would bring plenty into their country, would not hesitate to keep the promise they had given to fill all on the Maubile Biver with fire and blood. But they were deceived : the Choctaws, from the mo- (jondnct oi ment they received the general's invitation through the Sieur Begis, began by declaring that they would not re- ceive the goods from the English till they had learned the ChocUwiL H V >' 98 HISTORY OF NEW FRANCR \ b 1730. what their Father wished to tell them ; and on the rottim of their deputies, they resolved to follow exactly the line of policy which they had long before adopted. Several years before they had wished to destroy the Natchez, and the French had prevented them ; they had pretended to enter the general conspiracy only to involve us with our enemies, to whom we had granted peace in spite of them, and thus force us to apply to them to rid ourselves of them, and thus at the same time profit by the spoils of the Natchez and our liberality. Perrier had not yet well unravelled all the meshes of thif> celf-interested policy, and all that then seemed to him certain, was, that but for the Western Choctaws, the general conspiracy would have taken effect. He accord- ingly did not hesitate to employ them to obtain redress of the Natchez, cost what it might. Fortunately two of the Company's vessels arrived at New Orleans in the midst of all this, and he did not wish to defer any longer his march against the enemy, convinced that he could not too soon involve the Choctaws, recall the smaller tribes to our interest, or at least overawe them and reassure the set- tlers. Yet he felt that he ran some risk by beginning the war with such slender forces. "Do not estimate my forces," he said in one of his letters, (March 18, 1720,) " by the step I have taken in attacking the enemy ; neces- sity compelled me. I saw consternation everywhere, and fear increased day by day. In this position I concealed the number of our foes, and treated the idea of a general conspiracy as chimerical, an invention of the Natchez to prevent our acting against them. If I had been at liberty to adopt the most prudent course, I should have held my- self on the defensive, and waited for reinforcements from France, lest I should be reproached with having sacrificed two hundred Frenchmen of the five or six hundred whom I may have, for the defence of the lower part of the river. The event has shown that we must not always adopt what is seemingly the most prudent course. We were in a position where violent remedies were required, and it was !■• HISTORY OF NEW FRANCa 93 necessary to inspire alarm, if we could not do harm. i730- Chance has permitted us to do both, and come honorably "" » ~^' out of an affair, the success of which has given us time to understand our position. "We have recovered more than two hundred women and children,' all our negroes, and brought our enemies to the necessity of abandoning their forts and their lands. If we could have kept our In- dians two or three days longer, not a single Natchez would have escaped ; their destruction is merely deferred by the measures that I have taken. I do not regard them as our most cruel enemies ; the Chickasaws really are ; they are entirely devoted to the English, and have managed all the intrigue of the general conspiracy, although they are at peace with us. I have avoided urg- ing the Choctaws to make war on them till I received reinforcements and orders from France, although they asked nothing better ; but they are so self-seeking, that it would cost us much to get them to make a move, which I feel convinced they will make of their own accord, from grounds of dissatisfaction of their own." ' As or the plan adopted by the General, the most ur- They arm gent point was to make sure of the Choctaws and other '^ntchea. nations nearest to the Fort of Maubile, he made known the first tidings of the Natchez disaster as soon as he re- ceived them, to Mr. Diron,' who commanded at that post, and by a second letter, which was handed to that officer on the 16th of December, he directed him to sound the Choctaws, to see whether he could depend upon them. The difficulty was to find a man wilUng to run the risk of putting himself at the mercy of these savages, wh»se dis- position was then doubtful enough, and to whom we could as yet only make promises.

His offer was accepted, and he set out from Fort Maubile on the nineteenth. With great toil he visited all the villages; he was well received everywhere, and had no great di£Sculty in forming the corps of seven hundred warriors of whom I have spoken, and whom he led straight against the Natchez. On his side, Ferrier sent up to the Tonioas two of the Company's vessels. He sent overland warning to all the posts, as far as the Illiuois, of what had happened and what he intended to do. He dug a ditch around New Or- leans ; he placed barracks at its four angles ; he organ- ized militia companies for the defence of the city, and as there was more to fear for the settlements and conces- sions than for the capital, he threw up entrenchments everywhere, and erected forts in the most exposed points ; he finally prepared to go and take command of his little army which was assembling in the Bay of the Tonicas. But it was represented to him that his presence was abso- lutely required at New Orleans; that we were not yet perfectly sure of the Choctaws, and that there was even a fear that the negroes, if these Indians declared against us, would join them in the hope of escaping from slavery, as some had done at Natchez. He accordingly judged it best to confide the expedition to the Chevalier de Lou- bois. Major of New Orleans, whose valor and experience he knew.'

On the other hand, the Natchez beemed to behold without alarm the storm gathering against them. They did not at first deepair of wixming over the Tonicas, and on the 9th of December sent to them the Tioux, a little tribe long domiciliated among them, to offer them some of the plunder taken from the French, in order to win them over to their side. They did not succeed in this, but killed two straggling French- men whom they found. On the 10th, the Sieur le Merveilleux entered that bay The French with his detachment and some Frenchmen who had joined him. He entrenched for fear of surprise. The following days all the troops arrived, and on the 18th the Chevalier de Loubois entered it with twenty-five additional soldiers.' He found the whole army encamped, well en- trenched, and in good condition. He had two days pre- viously detached the Sieur Mexplex with five men to ob- tain tidings of the enemy, and, the better to ascertain their strength, he had ordered him to throw out some proposals of peace ; but as he was on the point of land- ing, he received a volley of musketry, which killed three of his men, leaving him and two others prisoners. The next day the Natchez sent one of these latter to Mr. de Loubois to make proposals also on their side, but they as- sumed a haughty tone, which revealed great confidence and great contempt for us. They asked in the first place that we should give as hostage the Sieur Brouttin, who had commanded among them, and the Great Chief of the Tonicas. They then specified, with great detail, all the goods they required for the ransom of the women, children and slaves, whom they had in their hands ; and although their demands were ex- orbitant, they seemed to suppose that we would be only too happy to accept them. It was afterwards ascertained that, adding treachery to insolence, their design was to Insolent propoMls of the Natches. • t \ ii Le Page da Pratz, iii., p. 265.

He apparently did not yet know that our army was at the Bay of the Tonicas, or ^as unable to control the selfish impetuosity of his Indians,* who wished to have the best part of the booty, and also profit by the prison- ers whom they delivered, for the sequel leads us to infer this. Be that as it may, they charged the enemy so fiercely that they killed eighty men, took sixteen women prisoners,* delivered fifty-one French women and child- ren, the two mechanics whom the Natchez had spared, and a hundred and fifty negroes and negresses. They would even have pushed their victory further, for it had cost them only two men killed, and some wounded, had not those of our negroes, whom the Natchez had won over, taken up arms on their side, and prevented the Choc- taws from carrying ofif their powder; this would have compelled the enemy to surrender or fly. There can be no doubt that, had this attack been concerted with the Chevalier de Loubois, not a Natche would have escaped.'

And the misfortune is, that some of those who were loudest in condemning the manner in which the Nat- chez war was managed, were not more fortunate in the Chickasaw war, and committed nearly the same faults with which they reproached Mr. Forrier and those com- manding under him, if faults th^y were. Be that as it may, de Loubois on the 2nd of February ^? ^^^^ •' •' besieges marched from the Bay of the Tonicaa with two hundred theNatche« •' ia ihelr men and some field-pieces ; on the 8th he arrived at the foiu. Natchez and encamped around the temple. On the 12th the cannon were placed in battery before one of the two In- dian forts, and as it was supposed that these preparations, especially after the defeat they had received, would induce them to submit to all exacted of them, they were notified that they might still avoid their total ruin by this submission ; but tliey were found more reso- lute than ever to defend themselves.' Accordingly de Loubois opened next morning with seven cannon ; but they were two hundred and fifty fathoms from the fort, and they were so badly handled that, after six hours' con- stant fire, they had not dislodged a single palisade, which put the Choctawa in a very bad humor, as they had been assured that a large breach would be made in two hours. On tlie other hand, the insolence and avidity of these In- dians, whom nothing could satisfy, and who wasted a part of the munitions given them, disgusted the French commandant as much as the desperate resistance of the Natchez. On the 15th he again wished to try whether they had not become more tractable ; he sent them an interpreter 1(1 i w > i ' Baron, Juurnal, (Oayarr^, i., pp. 8.55-6.)

On the 25th, the priaouers were given up to the Ohootaws, and the army withdrew to the blu£f on the riverside, having had during the wholu siege oulj nine men killed and wounded.' On the night of the 28th-29th, the Natchez, having succeeded in outwitting the French who had been appointed to watch them, es- caped, and this was perceived only when it was too late to pursue them.* Thus the sole fruit of this expedition was the rescue of the prisoners, who had next to be ransomed from the Ohoctaws,^ and the erection of a fort on the very spot to which they had retired. The Chevalier d'Artaguette,* who had extremely distinguished himself in all the engagements, was left as commandant with a gar- rison, in order to secure the navigation of the river. It is admitted that the soldiers acted very badly at the siege; that fifteen negroes, who were put under arms, fought like heroes, and that if all the others could have been armed and put in the place of the soldiers, they would have succeeded iu storming the besieged works. The settlers, commanded by d'Arembourg and de Laye, also did very well." They cheerfully undertook all the labors, and whatever else was ordered. " These Creoles," says Mr. Perrier, " will be good soldiers as suou as they are drilled.

Before resolving to make war on the Nutohez, the Choc- limotenca taws had gone to them to enter into some negotiation ciiucumi with them, uud they had met with a strange enough recep* tioQ. They found these Indians and their horses decked with chasubles and antependiums ; many wore patens around their necks ; drank and made others drink brandy out of the chalices and ciboriums. lu a word, they found nothing in the chapel that they had not put to the most profane and sacrilegious use. This highly pleased the Choctuws, who in the sequel, securing this booty, renewed the profanation committed by their enemies, and it was found impossible to rescue all from their hands. More- over, had these savages rendered the French all the ser- vice in their power, by acting in concert with them, their evil dinpusition always made them most odious to the uolouy. " There had never yet been seen in all America," wrote u missionary, eye-witness of everything then occur- ring, " Indians more insolent, more ferocious, more disgust- ing, uiure importunate, more insatiable." However, they were still needed, and had to be man- aged. The Natchez were not destroyed ; they could in future be regarded only as irreconcilable enemies, and it was to be expected that as long as they subsisted, they would do us through themselves and through the enemies whom they would endeavor to raise up against us, all the evil possible to savages, who had no terms to make. The Chickasaws did not yet i pear, but we were conscious that they were the authors ol the whole trouble, and their engagements with the English ir>ft no doubt but that they would be powerfully supported by the latter whenever ' they thought fit to lift the mask. The sequel only justi- fied these suspicions. Among the negroes recovered from ae Natchez, were some of those who had taken part against us, and these '1! ffj.« If _{i 102 UISTORT OF NEW PHANOB. 173(3- were puQlflbed; the three most guiltj were giveu up to *~*v— ' the CbootawB, who burued them with au iubumauity which gaye all the otber negroes such a horror of the In- diaus as to make them more docile uud more faithful.' The Yazoos, Corrois and Tiouz, were not more fortuuute tbau the Natchez. The Akausas fell ou them aud made a per- fect massacre; of the two former uatious, only fifteen Indians remained, wbo hastened to join the Natchez ; the Tioux were all killed to a man. ., , T>>« About the same time it was discovered that the Chicka- III 7ain saws, after a useless attempt to draw the Akansas and tempt ''"' ~ . . , fldoiUv of Tonicas into the general conspuaoj, had applied also, but with as little success, to the Illinois ; these Indians reply- ing curtly, that as they were all Christians, the Chiokasaws must never expect to detach them from the French ; that they would always place themselves between them and their enemies, wbo would have to trample over their dead bodies before they could touch one of the French. They soon after learned what had been done at the Nat- chez and Yazoos, and at once two troops of Mitchigamias and Easkasquias, led by the two head chiefs of those two Illinois tribes, descended to New Orleans, to bewail the missionaries who had perished in that massacre, and o£fer the General all who depended on tbem to avenge the French. Mr. Ferrier gave them audience with much pomp, and they spoke as Christians and faithful allies, in a manner that charmed all. Nor did they edify the whole city less by their piety and the correctness of their con- duct, aud they took leave of the General, promising him to guard well their own country, and all the upper part of the river. j^(. Mr. Perrier next learned thut the English had earnestly munccM^ exhorted the Choctaws to declare against us, and support- ^^ ed their solicitations by large presents, and he wrote to the Minister that, placed as he was, ho needed a pronpt assistance ; that the employment of Indians would cost Father le Petit, Letter, Julj 12, 1780.

That after five vi six year.<4, the num- ber of troops might be gradually decreased, us during that time the creolea would multiply and be trained ; that then we should have even more Indians ready to side with us when they saw that we no longer needed them. For some time the Natchez hud not been heard of, but ^,'^!' at last tidings came that thoy were renewing their raids ; rono.r thoii that they h'^d surprised ten Frenchmen and twenty ue- groeti, and that none had escaped but a young soldier, who had already escaped the great massacre of November 28th, and two negroes. The General then saw that no time was to be lost in ren'' ring that nation utterly inca- pable of injuring us ; and as the intrigues of the EInglish among the Choctaws bad increased his anxiety in regard to those Indians, he deemed it imperative to begin by setting his mind at rest in regard to them. He accord- ingly resolved on having an explanation from the chiefs, and notified them of his wish to have an interview with them at Maubile. He fixed a time when he would go there, and when he judged that they would soon arrive, he left New Orleans, where his presence was less necessa- ry now that reinforcements had arrived from France, as I shall soon explain. On landing, he found that they had anticipated the day by twenty-four hours. He was even agreeably surprised to see there the Chief of the Caouitas, a numerous tribe, strongly attached to the English, and a Chickasaw chief. He began by inquiring from the Sieur Regis, from Father liuudoin, the Jesuit who was endeavoring to estubUsh a ujissiou among the Choctaws, and from the interpretern, what effect had been produced on the mind of the Indians Perrler nei(utlatea with the Choctuwfk im I III If )\ i Ml '/ n \h f. I. 104 HISTORY OF NEW FRAliCS. '730- by the arrival of troops from France; and they told him that most (of the chiefs) had hesitated whether they should attend the conference, for fear some trap should be sprung on them, fully conscious that the French had ground to be dissatisfied with them ; but that some of the Western chiefs had answered for the good faith of our nation, adding : " It is the EngUsh who corrupt our mind." Persuaded by this language, they had started for Mau- bile, which they entered on the 26th of October, to the number of eight hundred men. On the 28th, Ferrier, who liad arrived on the 27th, began to treat with them, and he had to submit to a hundred and tifty harangues, which took up a week. The substance of all was that the Indians begged him to assure the King of their inviolable fidelity ; that they would never forget that he it was who hud made men of them, and rendered them a terror to their neighbors ; that some rumors unfavorable to the French had indeed circulated in their villages, but that such language came only from some madcaps, and that the chiefs and sachems had not been parties to it ; that they begged him not to blame them for it, and to for- get the past. This he promised, and spoke to them only concerning the negroes retaken from the Natchez, whom they still kept, although they had pledged their word to bring them into the colony. They repUed that they had always intended to bring them back, but that their mas- ters must send for them, because some whom they tried t^ bring back killed themselves on the way. Although a good understanding seemed quite well re- stored between the Eastern and the Western Choctaws, the General nevertheless perceived that they were still somewhat jealous of each other, and as he was much surer of the latttr than of the former, he represented to those that it was necessary for them to have a head chief like the others. He added that for this dignity he had cast his eyes on the Chief of the Castachas,' whom they ' A Choctaw tribe. ClMrUvoue. r, ' i u J H18T0BT OF NEW FBANCK. knew to be a brave and capable man of ancient family. They replied that they approved this choice, and with pleasure accepted this Head Chief at his hands. He showed the warmest friendship to the great Chief, whom he styles in his letters the " Emperor of the Caouitas," ' to whom he made a suitable present ; it pleased him greatly, and he declared that he would be de'i'oted to the French as long as he lived ; that he saw that the advice we gave was always good ; that he wished the English thought as they did, as all nations would be the happier for it. Mr. Perrier also gave audience to the Chickasaw chief, but adopted a diiferent tone with him. He told him, however, that he was very glad to see him ; that when his nation returned to its duty, he would treat it like the rest, and that it depended on them to live calmly and happily ; that he was ignorant of none of their intrigues, but that he would resume his paternal feelings for them, when they themselv&s acted as submissive and obedient children. This man made no reply, but a week after, he asked the Castacha chief to tell the General that they were unhap- py, and really worthy of compassion ; that since he had with- drawn the French who traded with them, all the northern nations made unrelenting war on them. Perrier told the one who spoke thus to assure that chief that no nation of his province should attack them, as long as they gave him no other cause of complaint, but that he did uot answer for the Canada Indians, as they were thoroughly con- vinced that they were enemies of the French ; that they must prove the contrary by unequivocal acts. The most delicate point on which Mr. Perrier had to treat with the Choctaws, was trade. He knew that they complained loudly of the dearness of our goods, nor was he unaware that the English had promised to furnish their goods at half any price we might set on ours. On the other hand, he was well convinced that if he made the deduction they asked, they would in six months de- maud another. He thought, however, he might gratify ' Called hy the Spaniards CUipacafi. Barcia, Eosayo Cronologico, p. 332. 105 1730. )i I' '1 si r il< u I .

Reinfor What had rendered the Choctaws so easy to manage menu was, on the one hand, the arrival of reinforcements from arrive from . France. France, which they overrated beyond their actual strength, and on the other the unexpectedly good reception accorded them by Mr. Ferrier. The reinforcements had come on the Somme, King's storeship, commanded by Perrier de Sal- vert, brother of the Commandant-General.' He passed the bar of the Micissipi without any difficulty on the 8th of August, low as the waters were, though his vessel, even after discharging a part of the cargo at the storehouses on Isle Toulouse, (or BaUse,) drew fourteen feet eight inches of water. On the 15th he anchored before New Orleans, and in a letter which he wrote to the Count de Maurepas, on the 15th of November, he informed that Minister that 1 ( 1 ' 1 .1 Tlie Niitchc'z nttack n pcriafjtia, killing or wimnilini; elxtui'ii French. order: The army was divided into three battalions, or ' three squadrons. The marines under de Salvert on the right, the militia under de Benac on the left ; the General in the centre, having under him the Baron de Cresnay commandant of the Louysiana troops, the Chevalier d'Artaguette commanding the grenadier company, the Sieur Baron acting as engineer, and the fusileers ; a part of the latter were at the French fort at Natchez, whence Mr. de Lusser was to march with them to Bed Biver. The negroes were scattered in different boats, and the In- dians, who had not all assembled yet, were to form a corps by themselves. On the 27th they had made but little progress, as snows and rain had swollen the river and increased its cur- rents, while the fogs were so dense and continual as to force them every moment to stop. This day news came that de Coulonges and de Beau- lieu had been attacked by the Natchez, and that of twen- ty-four men in the French batteau, sixteen had been killed or wounded ; Beaulieu among the former, and Cou- longes among the latter.' To crown the disastrous intelli- gence, it was also reported that the Akansas, weary of hearing no tidings of the French force, had gone home. Perrier halted some time at the Bay of the Tonicas, to assemble the Indians, who had not yet come in ; he was blamed for not having arranged to send them on in ad- vance to blockade the Natchez in their fort ; but he prob- ably had not sufficient couiideuce in these Indians to en- trust them with a movement on which all the success of the campaign depended. The Canadians, who readily blamed everything that was done, since the colony was no longer governed by one of themselves, judged the Louy- siana by the Canada Indians, and in this were mistaken. Perrier might have manoeuvred differently if he had had Abeuaquis, Hurous, Algonquins and Iroquois to deal with, all Christians, and long domiciliated among us.

The same day the Indians and a hundred and fifty volunteers were detached to take the advance under Captain de Laye of the militia, and block- ade the Natchez os soon as they wore discovered ; but this detachment did nut proceed far, the Indians not going willingly on this expedition. On the eleventh, they as- cended Red River, and at noon the next day they entered the Black. I'he General had commanded the greatest precaution to avoid being discovered by the enemy ; but his orders were unavailing, us the Indians, recoguiziug no authority and observing no discipline, continued to fire, as usual wit)', them, at all game that showed itself ; so that it is rath ustoni»>hiDg that they succeeded in finding the enemy iu his fort after so long a march and so little secrecy. It was on the 20tli of January that they discovered the The army enemy. Orders were at once given to invest then, and ac tuc^t^ncmy, this was done closely, and they were within speaking dis- tance, the besieged began by invectives. The trenches were opened and skirmishing kept up all day and all night. The next day the mortars and all things necessa- ry for the siege were landed. Some shells were then thrown, wliich fell inside the fort. The besieged made a sortie, killed one ' Frenchman and one negro, and wound- ed an oflicer, but they were sharply repulsed by Mr. de Lussor. Shells were tlirowu all tlirough the 22nd, but produced no great result, and the enemy wounded two of our soldiers. However, on the 24th, they hoisted a white flag. Perrier at once raised a similar one at the head of his trench, and soon after an Indian was seen approach- ing with two calumets in his hand. The General sent his interpreter to receive him, and when the envoy came before him, he asked for peace, |if ' Perri rsaystwo. Oayarrb,i.,p. 377.

Perrier replied that he wished the negroes, They ask but he also required that the chiefs should come to con- ■""** ■ fer with him. The deputy replied that the chiefs would not come, but that if the General had anything to com- municate to them, he might advance to the head of the trench, and that the Head Chief would on his side ad- vance to the edge of his fort. Ferrier told him to go at all events and get the negroes, and that on his return he would announce his intentions. Theygive Ee returned with this reply and in half an hour up all the ■^ •' nugrocs brought eighteen negroes and one negress. On restoring from the them to the General, he told him that the Sun would not whom they come out, yet that he asked nothing except to make peace ; but on condition that the army should at once re- tire ; that if it adopted this course, he pledged his word that his nation would never commit any hostility against the French, and that he was even ready, if desired, to go and restore his village in its old site. The General re- plied that ho would listen to no proposition till the chiefs came to meet him ; that he assured them their lives ; but that if they did not come to him that very day, there should be no quarter for any one. The envoy returned with this message, and after a time came back to say that all the warriors, with one accord, re- fused to let the Sun come out ; that this excepted, they were disposed to do anything required. The cannon had just arrived ; the General replied to this Indian that he held to his first proposition, and ordered him to notify his peo- ple that if they allowed a single cannon to be fired, he would put all to the sword, without sparing even the wo men and children. This man soon returned with a Nat- che named St. Come, a son of the woman Chief, and who consequently would have succeeded the Sun. This In- dian, who had at all times beeL quite familiar with the French, told Mr. Perrier in a very resolute tone, that, inasmuch as peace had been concluded, he ought to dis- miss his troops ; that he was very sorry for what his na- They continue to parley ill' HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE. Ill tion had done against us, but that all should be forgotten, especially as the prime mover in all the mischief had been killed in the first siege daring the Choctaw attack. Perrier expressed his pleasure at seeing him, but insist- ed absolutely on seeing the Head Chief also; that he would no longer be trifled with, and thai no Natch^ must again think of coming to his presence except in company with the Sun, as he would fire on any one advancing to make new proposals ; that he accordingly permitted him to return to his fort, but that if the Head Chief did not come forth as soon as he got in, he would reduce the fort to ashes with his bombs. Saint C6me at once took leave of him, and in half an hour was seen coming forth with the Sun, and another called the Flour Chief, (Chef de la Farine.) The last was the real author of the massacre of the French ; but Saint Come had wished to throw the fault on another. They appeared at the moment when preparations were making to attack the fort during the coming night. Mr. Perrier sent soldiers to meet them and conduct them to his quarters. The Sun told the General that he was charmed to treat with him, and that he came to re- peat to him what he had told him through the envoy; that it was not he who had killed the French ; that he was then too young to speak, and that it was the ancients who had formed thic criminal project. "I am well aware," he added, " that it will always be ascribed to me, because I was the sovereign of my nation, yet I am quite innocent." In fact, it has always been believed in the colony that hie whole crime was in not daring to re- sist his nation, or notify the French of wiiat was plotting against them. Up to that time, and especially before he attained the dignity of Sun, he had never given any grounds to distrust him. Saint Come, who was likewise not hostile to the French, also cleared him us well as he could ; but the other chief merely said that he regret- ted deeply ull that had happened. " We had no sense," he continued, "but hereafter we shall have." As they »73i- The Head Chief, his presump- tivo succceeor and anotbei chief, como Into the camp. They are ■ecored. !)

On this, the Head Chief told Mr. le Sueur that the Flour Chief was a usurper, who, although not noble, had seized the place he occu- pied, which made him the third person in the nation, and gave him absolute power over all whom he commanded. In the evening, Mr. Perrier went to see the Sun, and declared to him that he must send orders to all his sub- jects to come forth from the fort unarmed, with their wives and children ; that he would spare their lives and prevent the Indians from illtreating them. He obeyed, and at once sent orders by the Natche who had come to bear the message I have mentioned ; but all refused to submit. The wife of the Head Chief came to him the same day, with his brother and some others of his family, and Perrier gave her a hearty welcome, in consideration of the kindness she had shown the French women during their captivity. They were anxious to have the woman Chief, who had even more indueuce in the nation than the Sun himself. The wife of the Chief wut repeatedly to the furt to induce her to come out, but her exhortations were unavailing. About thirty-five men and two hundred women surrendered towards two o'clock in the afternoon ; the rest were told that unless they tlid the same at once, the cannonade would begin, and that as soon as it opened, there should be no mercy for any one. They replied t'mt we might fire when we chose; that they did not fear death. Yet it is certain that there were only seventy warriors at most, remaining in the fort ; that they had not I73'.

They were not, however, cannonaded; moreover, the weather was fearful, the rain having been incessant for threo days ; the besieged trusted that the French would be less careful in watching the passes, and they were not mistaiceu. About eight o'clock at night, Mr. de Be- nac sent word to Mr. Perrier that they were escaping. The trenches and all the posts at once were ordered to tire, but the fugitives passed unperceived along a bayou or little river, which run between the quarter of the mili- tia and that of the Baron de Cresnay; and before it was known, and we entered the fort, they were already fur oif with their wives and children. Only one woman was found, who had been just delivered of a child, and one man in the act of escaping.' The next day, the 26th, we endeavored to induce the Indians to pursue these fugitives, but they refused, say- ing that as they had escaped by our fault, it was our business to pursue them ; su that having no longer any enemies to tight, our troops hud to think of returning. The same day, all the prisoners were bound ; the Sun, his brother, brother-in-law, ISuiut Come and all of that family were put un board the Saint Louis. Forty war- riors were put in the demi-galley commanded by le Bueur. The women and children, numbering in all three hundred uud eighty-seven persons, were distributed among the other vessels.

We were finally informed that the Flour Chief might have assembled sixty or seventy men, a hundred women, and a g at num- ber of children. Le Sueur having acquired all this information, proceed- ed to report it to the General, and told him that if he would allow him to take all the well-disposed men, he be- lieved he could guarantee to master all these separate corps ; but he was refused. Perrier had not, perhaps, all the confidence in the Ctiuadians that most of them de- served, and. brought up in a service whero discipline and subordination are at the highest point, he could not con- ceive that anything of importance can be effected with militia, who acknowledged no law of war but great bravery and invincible patience in the severest marches and most laborious works. He would doubtless have thought otherwise had he reflected that rules must be adapted according to the enemy's manner of fighting. However, we were not slow in perceiving that the Nat- chez could still render themselves formidable, and that the step of sending the Bun aud all who had been taken with him to be sold as slaves in St. Domingo, had rather ■ Diron d'Artaguette, June 24.

Bkilful retreat of an officer of Bixtcen years ol ago. All the world knows ' the loss sustained by the colony in 1736, in the persons of the brave Chevalier d'Artaguette and a great number of officers of merit, and the noble ac- Nobic tion of the Jesuit Father Senat, who preferred to expose jfsuil and himself to the certain peril of being taken and burned by the Chickasaws, as he really was, rather than not assist to their latest breath the wounded who could not retreat or even be transported by those who did. This retreat, which was the work of a young man of sixteen, named Yoisin, may be regarded as a masterpiece in point of skill and bravery. Pursued for twenty-five leagues, he lost, indeed, many men, but it cost the enemy dearly, and he besides marched forty-five leagues without food, his men carrying in their arms the wounded who were able to bear transportation. Almost all' those who in this affair fell into the enemies' hands, and who were quite numer- ous, were burned in the most barbarous manner, with the missionary, who was not the only one to exhort the com- panions of his torture to do honor by their courage and patience, to their religion and their nation.
