Oct. 21. [1722] We have learned that two men, Langevin by name, father and son, Canadians, living among the Illinois, with two French servants and an Indian slave, had been captured on the Mississipy (it is not said where) by the Chicachats1 with whom we are at war, and that they had carried them off to their village, from which place this Frenchman had written to M. Bienville that they were being well treated by the Indians, that the latter only asked for peace, and that they had told them that they would not give them up unless peace was made, and that they could so inform the great French chiefs.
