His skirmish with an advanced reconnoitering party of French under de Jumonville, their captain, and the death of this leader was much commented Washington s Journal. 223 upon, and the facts in the case greatly perverted by the French for political effect. The terms of the capitulation, after the battle of the Great Meadows, agreed to between the French commander, Mon- sieur de Villiers, and Colonel Washington and Captain Mackaye on the part of Virginia, which was written in French, but of whic...h no copy in English had been made at the time of signing, when trans- lated and published, caused unfavorable comments, in consequence of certain expressions derogatory to the English. Washington and his officers in this were misled, having relied upon the oral translation of Captain Jacob van Braam, a German having but an imperfect knowledge of either the French or Eng- lish language, and who, through inadvertence or ignorance, rendered the word assassination of de Jumonville, death of de Jumonville.
