supposed to have known that he was in territory already ceded to Pizarro, preferred to make an advantageous arrangement with Almagro, and caused him at the same time to pardon Felipillo's treason. In Cuzco, Felipillo incited the Inca Manco against the Spaniards by underhand intrigues, and contributed thereby to the revolt of the Indians and the burning of the city in 1535. He also took part in the dissensions between Pizarro and Almagro. When Almagro marched, in September, 1535, to the conquest of Chili, he carried Felipillo with him as interpreter, but a few days after passing the desert Felipillo fled. He was taken prisoner and strangled by Almagro's orders, who knew of his repeated treasons. The historian Gomara says that before his death Felipillo confessed that he had falsely accused Atahualpa.
FELIX, Louis, Baron, b. in St. Pierre, Marti-
nique, 2H Dec, 1765 ; d. in Mexico, 1 July, 1836.
He took orders when very young, and was almoner
of the Count de Bentheim, lieutenant-governor of
the Dauphine, at the beginning of the revolution
of 1789. He then gave up his orders and became
clerk of the national convention until 1795, when
he joined Hughes, a member of the assembly, in
organizing the government of Guadeloupe, and re-
ducing the revolted negroes there to subjection.
He took the responsibility of revoking certain
measures xmpopular with the whites, and managed
affairs with such skill that the colony was com-
pletely pacified in 1796. Baron Felix remained in
Guadeloupe in 1795-'99, devoting himself to ad-
ministrative and judicial labors. In the mean
while Hughes was restive under the sense of the
obligations he owed to Felix, and asked to have
him recalled to France in 1800. He had scarcely
arrived when Napoleon made his coup d'etat of the
18th Bruinaire, and named him a member of the
tribune. Felix took an active part in the delibera-
tions of this assembly until it was suppressed in
1803. He was then sent to Mexico as minister
and French consul-general. He was afterward
French minister at Washingtou, and kept the post
until 1806, but remained consul-general in Mexico
till the fall of Napoleon in 1814. He returned to
France in 1815, and Prince Talleyrand, who es-
teemed him highly, sent him as minister to South
America, where he remained four years. He was
then consul-general and minister extraordinary to
the Levant in 1819-'22, consul-general to Mexico
in 1825-30, deputy from Marseilles in 1833-35,
and in 1835-'6 minister to Mexico, whei'e he died.
His books relating to this continent are " Aper§u
sur les Etats Unis " (Paris, 1814) ; " AperQU sur le
Mexique " (1815) ; " Rapport au ministre des af-
faires etrangers sur la situation des Frangais dans
le Mexique et I'Amerique du Sud "' (1820) ; " Theo-
rie des gouvernements," in which he compares the
governments of Europe with those of the United
States and South America, and declares in favor
of the New World (1823).
FELLER, Henrietta, missionary, b. in Lau-
sanne, Switzerland, about 1788; d. in Grand Ligne,
Canada, 27 March, 1868. She married M. Feller, a
magistrate in Lausanne, and soon after his death,
and the death of their only child, she came in 1835
to Montreal, and, joining two of her friends, M.
and Madame Olivier, began her labors as a teacher
and missionary. On account of delicate health, M.
and Madame Olivier were compelled to leave Mon-
treal in a short time. Madame Feller determined
to continue the school, but did not succeed, and
went to St. John's. Financial aid reached her from
Switzerland, and, several of the Baptist ministry
becoming interested in her welfare, she was en-
abled to maintain lier school until the first rebel-
lion in Lower Canada, when she came to the United
States. Late in 1836 she removed to Grand Ligne,
again opening a school ; and, after various visits to
the Atlantic cities for aid, she was successful in
raising funds for the erection of a mission-house,
of which she became director.

gregational churches at Sharon, Mass.. in 1821-'4,

missioned by Gov. Everett, in April, 1836, to ar-
range the ancient state papers, then in almost
hopeless confusion, and in 1845 spent six weeks in
England searching for duplicates of lost records.
As a result of his labors, which were ended in
1846, the state archives are now contained in sev-
eral scores of carefully classified volumes. After

engaged in literary work. He was president of
the New England historic-genealogical society in
