Isaac Joguzs, the author of the following early notice of New York was born at Orleans in France 10th Jany 1607, in which city he received the rudiments of his education. He entered the Jesuit Society at Rouen in Oct. 1624 and removed to the College of La Fletche in 1627. He completed his divinity at Clermont College, Paris, and was ordained Priest in February 1636 in the Spring of which year he embarked asa Missionary for Canada and arrived at Quebec on the 2nd of July. After a sojourn of a few weeks in that city he proceeded to the Huron country on the 24 Aug. and arrived dt the new field of his labors about the 12th September.' In 1641 he visited Pauoitigouetuhak, or " the place of the Shallow Cataract," as the Falls of St Mary were originally called, on an invitation of some O-jibways but made only a brief stay there and returned to Quebec in 1642. He reembarked on the first of August of that year for the Huron Mission but, on his way, was captured by a party of Mohawks who had lain in ambush for his party, and was hurried off a prisoner to the enemy's country. Here he suffered every torture short of the stake, and had to witness the cruel deaths of many of his companions. On the 31st July 1648, after a year's captivity he succeeded in evading the vigilance of his captors, and escaped to the Dutch at Fort Orange (Albany) by whom he was most cordially received and most humanely treated. Thither his Savage masters followed him, but the Dutch preferred ransoming to surrendering him and forwarded him to New Amsterdam, where he was suitably received by Gov. Kieft, furnished with every necessary and a passage to France.
