In short, the only atti- tude that they could take was that of submission, and of humiliating themselves with offers of presents in order to obtain the freedom of their chief, who was re- leased a few days afterward. See what the French accomplished in the first estab- lishment of the Colony, although it was then of very little importance in the world. They have been able to preserve and maintain the glory of the nation against the savages (who were incomparably stronger and more numerous at th...at time than they are now), since, if I dare say it, we were their masters. Did we not oblige them to recognize this by valuable presents, which were acknowledged only by very ordinary ones? and did not we even inform them, in offering these, that it was done only through compassion for their miserable condition? On the other hand, in this present time of ours they de- sire to dominate us and be our superiors ; they even re- gard us as people who are in some manner dependent on them. I will explain what has given rise to this presumption [of theirs], and how it will be difficult to remove it from their minds.
