Excerpt: ... A FAVORABLE JUNCTURE. 57 red, was preparing to join the colony; and it introd. was estimated by Jean de Léry, that ten thou- 1562. sand French Protestants would soon have crossed the ocean to Brazil.1 The baseness of one man had ruined the scheme which promised so much for France and for America. But there were others in the Protestant ranks, tried and trusted leaders, who stood ready fora second venture, upon Coligny''s bidding; and the harbors of Bretagne and Normandy swarmed with men as ready to follow. The times also, if not brighter, were more opportune. The Huguenots, as they now began to be called, had become a recognized power in the land; with two princes of the blood--Antoine, king of Navarre, and his brother, Louis, prince of Condé--at their head. There was a lull in the storm of persecution. Nearly thirty-seven years had passed since Jean Leclerc, the first conpicuous martyr of the Reformation in France, 1 Car quoy qu'' aucuns disent, veu le peu de temps que ces choses ont duré, & que n''y estoit à present non plus de nouvelle de vraye Religion que de nom de François pour y habiter, qu''on n''en doit faire estime: nonobstant telles allegations, ce que j''ay dit ne laisse pas de demeurer tousiours tellement vray, que tout ainsi que l''Evangile du fils de Dieu a esté de nos jours annoncé en ceste quarte partie du monde dite Amerique, aussi est-il très certain si l'' affaire eust esté aussi bien poursuivi qu''il avoit esté heureusement commencé, que l'' un & l'' autre Regne spirituel & temporel, y avoyent si bien prins pied de nostre temps, que plus de dix mille personnes de la nation Francoise y seroient maintenant en aussi plein & seure possession pour nostre Roy, que les Espagnols y sont au nom de leurs....

The commercial interests of France were still controlled largely, as they continued to be for many years, by Huguenot merchants; and in order to the prosecution of the important trade with the New World, the capital and enterprise of the great companies of La Rochelle, Rouen and Dieppe were indispensably needed. Hence, though the Prince of Conde" was succeeded as viceroy of New France by the Duke of Montmorency, an open enemy of the Huguenots, no attempt was made as yet to exclude them from the colonies. In 1621, the duke, dissatisfied with the man- agement of the trade with Canada, conferred the monopoly of that trade upon a body of mer- ency- chants to be known as the Compagnie Montmorency. At the head of this company was Guill- aume de Caen, sieur de la Mothe, a Huguenot of Dieppe.1 De Caen was at once an enterprising merchant and an experienced navigator.
