1,682. Nov. 11.	2,072. Governor de la Barre of Canada to [?]. The posts of Manase and Albany, conquered by the English in 1667, are still partly inhabited by Dutch, under an English Governor. I am on the point of attacking the Iroquois, a savage tribe long our enemies, If I defeat these people I shall not be able to resist attacking the people at Albany, who give them arms and protection, contrary to the orders of the King of England. You would do well, therefore, to obtain a prohibition from the King and Duke of York, to prevent them from giving them arms and protection. There is an English company of Hudson's Bay which is beginning to hold a territory which the French King has held for 20 years. If they push on and erect mischievous little forts to debauch our Indians, I shall be obliged to drive them out. French. 2 pp. Endorsed. Recd. from Fr. Amb. 10 Jan. '83. [Col. Papers, Vol. LXIV., No. 107, and Board of Trade, Hudson's Bay I., p. 1.]
