called the Great River, which runs in at the fouth bank 
of lake Erie, forty miles eaftward of the mouth of Hu¬ 
ron, having an Indian town of the fame name on its banks. 
It is navigable for boats; and its mouth is wide, and deep 
enough to receive large (loops from the lake. Near this 
are the celebrated impending rocks,which bound the lake. 
They are feveral miles io_length, and rife fifty feet per¬ 
pendicular out of the water. Some parts of them confift 
of feveral ftrata, of different colours, lying in a horizontal 
direction, and fo exactly parallel, that they refemble the 
work of art. The view from the land is grand, but the 
water prefents the nioft magnificent profpeCt of this fub- 
lime work of nature : it is attended, however, with great 
danger; for, if the leaft ftorm arifes, the force of the furf 
is fuch, that no velfel can efcape being dallied to pieces 
againft the rocks. The'heathen Indians, when they pafs 
this impending danger, offer a facrifice of tobacco to the 
water. Part of the boundary line between the United 
States and the Indians, begins at the mouth of Cayahoga, 
and runs up the fame to the portage between that and the 
Titfcawara branch of the Mufkingum. The Cayahoga 
nation, confiding of 500 Indians, forty of whom relide in

tefiant minifter at the court of the king of Navarre, and 
was much prefled by the count of Soiffons to marry him

to be difagreeable to the royal family of Navarre, and to 
which he was fin e they would never give their confent. 
The count of Soiflons Hill infifled ; and Cayet refufed with 
equal intrepidity. On the count’s threatening to flab hint 
it he perfifted in his refufal, lie very fpiritedly replied, 
“ Well, then, ycur highnefs may kill me, if you pleafe; I 
prefer dying by the hand of a great prince to dying by that
