In April, he plunged into the wilderness, with twenty companions, lured towards New Mexico by the brilliant fictions of the rich mines of Sainte Barbe, the El Dorado of Northern Mexico. There, among the Cenis, he succeeded in obtaining five horses, and supplies of maize and beans: he found no mines, but a country unsurpassed for beauty of climate and exuberant fertility. On his return, he heard of the wreck of the little bark which had remained with the colony: he heard it unmoved. Heaven and ma

In April, Le Sueur led a company, in quest of mineral stores, to mountains in our northwestern territory.

XXIII.} a special envoy, guided by Indian traders to Keowee summoned a general assembly of the chiefs of the Cherokees to meet at Nequassee, in the valley of the Tennessee. They came together in the month of April, and were told that King George was their sovereign. When they offered a chaplet, four scalps of their enemies, and five eagles' tails, as the records of the treaty, and the pledge of their fidelity, it was proposed to them to send deputies to England; and English writers interpreted their assent as an act of homage to the British monarch.
