Early Detroit
The French, and De la Motte in particular, were deeply indignant at this attack, and were determined to hare a signal redress.
The Ottawas became greatly alarmed, and sued for peace in the most humble terms.
The Governor General, to whom they sent a deputation with presents, after rebuking them sharply, referred them to De la Motte, who had now returned to his post. The deputation then came here, and most earnestly and humbly besought his pardon and mercy.
