(Editorial Correspondence.]
Parir, Jan. 1826.
Our excursion to La Grange oc
ipied four days, which will of
q be recalled and fondly remem
icred as among the happiest of my
jfc. A knowledge of the fact that
Jeneral La Fayette is frequently
iverrun with company, and that he
ms about to leave his country resi
lence with his family, to pass the
(i iter in Paris, half induced us to
relinquish the idea of visiting La
Grange for the present; when some
6! our friends returned from a similar
excursion, bearing to tin fi Eiust irienu-
Ij note from the General, and ex
iressing a hope that we would visit
him before going to Italy. Such a
kind and cordial invitation removed
ali doubts, and was promptly accept
ed
Oa the morning of the 27th of
September, we took the Diligence
for the village of Rose within about
two miles of which La Grange is sit
'tinted, forty miles in an easterly di
rection from Paris. Our exit from
the metropolis n as through the Place
Royal, the Place Pastille, and the
Place du Trono.; thence by the Dar
ner, Palace, and Forest of Vincen
o, up the banks of the Mornc,
which is one of the largest branches
of the S inc, being nearlay as broad
and deep as the river, in which it
loses its water and its name. In one
place it makes a circuitous route of
several miles round a high peninsula,
vhich is only half a mile across, and
through which a subterranean canah
has been cut, navigable for boats.
For the first few miles, this route
presented many interesting objects.
The Palace of Vincennes is a large
venerable pile, without much orna
ment, and occupied at present as a
State Prison. Several events of some
interest to the traveller have trans
put! within its walls. Here tii two
great princes of Coride were impris
oned for years; and here Charles V.
Cardinal Mazarine, and Henry V. of
England expired. The Forest of
Lncennes covers a large tract, con
sisting of a small growth of natural
woods, through which roads and vis
tas open in all directions.
At the distance of eight or ten
m les from Paris, the roads become
dull, leadi. g through an agricultural
country not remafkable for its fertil
ity, and studded with little villages,
which add nothing to its beauty.
Midw,.y mthe journey,the Diligence
slopped at a small Inn, for breakfast
or dinner, call it which you will, as
the lull of fare is generally the same,
pot even excepting soup. On the
plate from which 1 took my mutton
soup, was a representation ol Geu.
I.a Fayette on horseback, in the at
titude of storming a fortress, with the
folluwing inscription.;
“ II s’elancc 1c premier dans la Rcdoutic.”
At a table oil the opposite side of
the room sat a group of three ladies
and a gentleman, whose faces, dres
i»es, and genteel manners attracted
our attention, and w ho were, as was
subsequently ascertained, a part of
Gen. La Fayette’s family, going to
town to attend the examination of a
school. But this was not the last of
the earious incidents which occurred
at iLe hotel. A gentleman rode with
Us from Paris to this place, in the
same department of the Diligence,
without a word passing between us,
he taking us for Englishmen, and we
supposing from his complexion that
he was a Portuguese or Spaniard.
He turned out to be a Lieutenant
«».the United States Army, who wa s
going to La Grange on the same er
rand with ourselves.
Wc reached the village of Rose at
5 o’clock in the evening, and that no
unnecessary claims might be made to
the hospitality ofGeneral La Fayette,
or Iris family subjected to any incon
venience, we dined at the hotel, be
fore taking a carriage and setting out
for La Grange. On arriving at the
Chateau, the General gave us a
warm reception, and presented to us
his numerous and interesting family,
consisting of a son, two daughters
and twelve grand children, with a
lieautiful and accomplished daughter
of Count Segur, together with two
or three other inmates, making in all
a circle of something more than twen
ty. Simplicity, politeness and affa
bility of manners, genuine kindness
of heart, and unaffected hospitality
characterize the whole grouj, from
the patriarch himself down to the
youngest of his descendants. They
need only the American name—a
claim of nativity in the land of Wash
ington and Franklin—to call forth all
the warmth and generosity of tneir
feelings, making the stranger at once
at home, and treating him with the
cordiality of a friend or brother. The
only uneasiness which the visitant
experiences, arises from a fear, that
the proverbial politeness of the
French, accompanied with all the en
thusiasm of feeling, will subject the
family to inconveniences on his ac
count, and lead them to do too much
for hus happiness.
The evening glided away delight
fully, and almost imperceptibly, in the
midst of conversation on a variety ol
topics, chiefly relating to our coun
try ; for the whole family talk, and
seem to think of nothing else train
the United States, where their feel
ings, their hopes and wishes all cen
tre. The General considers himself
emphatically a citizen of the Ameri
can Republic, and familiarly speaks
of it precisely in the sam way, as if
he had been there born and educated,
lie receives S gfeai number of Ameri
can newspapers, reviews, and other
publications, and regularly Corres
ponds with many of his friends in eve
ry part of the Union These various
sources of information, persued witl
the utmost attention, added to the
astouishing accuracy of his observa
tions and recollections of circumstan
ces connected with the tour, render
him better acquainted with the con
dition of our country, than almost any
one of its actual residents, lie has
visited evety- State in the confedera
cy under favorable circumstances,
having been introduced to the most
prominent individuals, and seen a
large proportion of the whole popu
lation in each. A package of letters
and papers had just reached him, and
he gave us a detailed account of
events, which w re new to us, and of
and interesting character.
In the course of the evening, he
often reverted to the scenes h had
visited, and to the friends with whom
he had met and parted with no ex
pectation of ever seeing them again
Many anecdotes were related, which
had escaped attention, even in the
voluminous reports of our papers.
He stated that during the thirteen
months occupied iu his tour, he trav
elled between siaty and seventy thou
sand miles ; and that his health had
been greatly improved, instead of
impaired, by the necessary latigues
of such a constant scene ot bustle and
activity. Before he left home, he
had been troubled with a chronic al
fection, which had entirely disap
peared ; and his health is as perf ct as
his happiness at the result of his visit
I could not but feel a degree of pride
and pleasure, that our country had
in any degree b'en instrumental in
contributing to the domestic felicity
ot such a man and such a family, who
merit all; and if possible, more than
all the gratitude and esteem they
have received at our hands.
Before retiring to our chambers to
dream only ol La Grange, we examin
ed some of the principal rooms ofthe
Chateau, our hospitable friends kind
ly acting as expositors. The furni
ture is perfectly neat, and even ele
gant, but bears no marks of extrava
gance or luxury—nothing which is
incompatible with a refined taste,and
a republican simplicity ol manners —
nothing which does not conduce
more to convenience and comfort
than to show ; and which could be
compared in point of richness and
spkndor, as the General himself re
marked, with what he had gratui
tously been made master of in his
tour through the United State' s - Ihe
ornaments are nearly all American.
In the hall at the head ol the stair
way, and forming the entrance to the
drawing-room, is a portrait ol Gener
al Washington, with the colors ol the
frigate Brandywine, (presented by
Commodore Morris on his arrival at
Havre,) hung in graceful festoons
around the almost idolized picture.
On the right ofthe father ot his coun-

try, is a fine portrait of Franklin, co
pied by one of the accomplished
grand-daughters of Gen. Lafayette,
fn a conspicuous part o f the hall,
stands an admirable bust of President
Adams, presented by Mrs. Adams,
just before the General left Washing
ton. To these are added a portrait
of Commodore Morris, (taken by
particular request,) and several pic
tures connected with the history of
our revolution. The rotunda, or
drawingroom, contains, besides other
decorations, a painting of the siegt
of York-town, and a portrait of Gen
eral Wadsworth, the revolutionary
friend of Lafayette.
At 10 o’clock, which is uniformly
the hour for retiring at La Grange,
we took leave of the family for the
night, and were shown into our bed
chambers, after having been notified,
that the ringing of the Chateau bell
would summon us to breakfast at 10
the n; xt morning. Our appartments
were in the same style of neatness
and comfort as the sitting rooms,
with a cheerful wood fire blazing up
on the hearth, with carpets covering
the polished oaken floor. As is usu
al in French houses, furqished with
fewer conveniences than this, each
chamber had a bureru, or writing
desk, containing an ample supply of
pen, ink, and paper, together with
the other appendages for scribbling,
all under lock and key. The tempt
ations of such comforts, the whistling
ofthe wind round the Gothic turrets
and antique windows ofthe Chatean,
with the delights of the fire side rev
erie on the events of the day, induced
us to protect our waking dreams to a
late hour.
In the morning a grey-headed ser
vant, who is almost as old as the mas
ter whom he loves, and from whom
he has imbibed his kindness ol haart,
opened the door gently, and perform
ed his office of rekindling the fire,
with such studied quiet, as would
sca.rc<siy disturb the slumbers of a
sick-bed. We reached the drawing
room in seasou to see the members
ofthe happy family appear one after
another, and share the paternal kis-.
Breakfast was served up in a large
hall on the ground floor, in the usual
French style, with wine, and coffee
after the desert. The table was
crowned with abundance, without
superfluity ; and a circle of smiling
face; would have rendered a less
sumptuous repast agreeable. Amon h
ttie rarer dishes, was a kind of pie
sent as a delicacy to the General, from
some of his friends at Strasbourg.
After breakfast wasover, we walk
ed out in company with Washington
Lafayette, and the whole group of
ladies, to examine the exterior ofthe
Chateau, and the farm, of which
scarcely a glance had as yet been
obtained. La Grange was formerly
a fortified baronial castle; and not
withstanding the modifications it has
undergone, much of its antique and
feudal character still remains. It
was once surrounded by a doub
le moat, sections of which filled with
water, have been preserved, and the
residue filled up either for the sake
of health or convenience. The edi
fice consists of a centre, perhaps a
hundred feet in length, with two
wings ofabout the same dimensions,
apd joining it at right angels. From
tfihces still visible, a gallery evident
ly extended across at the other ex
tremity of the wings, enclosing a
quadrangular courtyard, strongly de
fended, with only one entrance under
a lofty arch in the northern walk,
guarded by a portcullis.
The Chateau is three stories high,
plainly constructed of a hard and dark
colored stone, rendered of a deeper
line by its v. nerable age and long ex
posure to the climate. Tw ■ Gothic
towers of a conical shape rise from
the ends of each of the wings, and
form almost the only urnanient. The
approach is by a winding avenue on
the northern side, leading through a
thick grove of evergreens and other
trees, and under the arcti already
mentioned, around which hang fes
toons of ivy, planted by the celebra
ted Charles James Fox, in one of
his visits to La Grange. The beau
tiful plant is as green as his memory,
and mantles nearly the whole facade
ofthe Chateau. Its luxurant foliage,
shading the grey walls, the thick
copse bordering the moat, and.the
four antique turrets half concealed
by the intervening branches, present
a view on this side, seldom equalled
in an airy, rural, quiet, and unostenta-
tious retirement. An artist from our
country has taken several very exact
sketches ot La Grange, plates of
which will hereafter be published.
As the morning was bright and
pleasant, though the gmund yet ver
dant, was covered with a heavy hoar
frost, we made a circuit of a mile or
two over the farm, which is one of
the largest, as well as the most com
plete, in France. It contains five
hundred acres, lying in one body, in
the form of a circle, with the Chateau
in the centre. ufeJt J’Uins have been
taken to round it off in this way, by
exchanges of contiguous territory.
It is divided according to the most
approved models, into suitable pro
portions oftillage, pasture, and wood
land, with the minor compartments
of gardens and orchards. The Gen
eral has planted three thousand apple
trees, which are yet small, but thrif
ty, opening in vistas oil over his
plantation. He is much engaged in
the cultivation of fruit of the best
kinds.
The soil of this large tract, though
not perhaps remarkable for its natu
ral fi rtili v, has been highly improv
ed by culture, and yields wheat with
other agricultural products in abund
ance. It is finely wooded end water
ed. Half a mile from the house, in
the directionof'llose, there isalarge
and living fountain, canalled in a
green vale, and sheltered from the
sun in summer by a grove of venera
ble oaks. Its limpid waters at this
season repose on a bed of autumnal
leaves, and are as pure as they are
copious. From this rural and seques
tered retreat, a distant view of the
Chateau on one side, and of two lit
tle villages, with a spire to each, and
the smoke curling above them, on
the other, makes a quiet and cheering
picture. Not far from the fountain.
Washington Lafayette, (whose name
perhaps I use some-whattoo familiar
ly for the sake of distinction,) is much
engaged in constructing an ice-hous ,
upon the plan of some of those e
saw in our country. In short, near
ly all the improvements of La Grange,
now in progress, are according to
Americans models.
On our return from this delightful
promenade, and after r sting for a
fewminuh s, wc were merely consign
ed from the hands ol one part of the
family, to receive the assiduous at
t. ntionsofan other The General
nimseif accompanied us to the farm
yard, which in point of practical utili
ty, is more interesting, especially to
• iie eye of an American, than all the
parks and pleasure grounds we have
seen m Europe. A range of build
ugs extend quite round an open area,
containing,perhaps,an acre ofgrnund.
The first of these is the granary,
which was once a chapel, and the
turret of which is yet left standing.
Men were at work in winnowing
wheat of an excellent quality. The
second department is appropriated to
all kinds ol poultry, among which are
wild geese from the banks of the
Mississippi. A flock of* bout a thou
-anc. merinos, prettily feeding at their
long ranges of cribs, occupied anoth
er portion of the buildings It was
odd enough to the little lambs
bearing on their backs the same
name wnich had graced our triumph
al arches; and to see the hero him
self doating upon the construction of
anew kind o (piggery, upon a plan
recommended in the American Far
mer. Among the twenty two cows,
arc eight from Switzerland, 6cnt to
the General by his friends in that
country ; and four of the Holkham
breed, presented by Mr. Patterson,
of Baltimore. The assortment of
horses is as extensive as the other
kinds of domestic animals. In mak
ing the circuit, we next came to the
farm-house, kitchen and dairy, the
walls of which are ornamented with
a map ofthe whole plantation, de
signating the grouud appropriated to
each department. Then follow th>
pens containing several rare species
of animals, among which are wild tur
keys and partriges from the United
States, (intended, if possible, to be
domesticated,) ducks which came as
a present from the Gard nos Plants,
at Paris, and a pair ofbeauliful Mexi
can Pheasants. For the latter, and
lor the American partridge, anew
house is going up, to be artificially
warmed by a stove. To these ani
mals, may be added a dog from Wash
ington, and a racoon from our forests,
who are inmates ofthe chateau, in
stead of the farm-yard. The latter
is so tame, as to pl;.y about the par
lour, and climb up into the General’s
lap.
At 5 o’clock, the bell called us to
dinner, which was bountiful, and
served up without any formal parade.
Among the peculiar dishes were len
tiles, much resembling boiled peas;
and a rich kind of pastry, such as we
had not found in the inhnite assort
ment of a Paris tnbl . A desert of
apples, pears, and dry fruits with
tlir e or four varieties of wine, inclu
ding ehanipaigne, crowned the fes
tivities of the hoard. The General
entertains no doubt, that the grape
from which the latter is made would
tlourisl. in the United States; but
whether the wine could be produced
is more problematical, as it is confin
ed to one province in France, and
depends much on a peculiar quality
ofthe soil. It is, however, niy in
tention to send home slips ofthe vine,
by way of experiment.
On returning to tUg drawing-room
j a large folio volume, bound with red
morocco, and richly gilt, was found
lying upon the table. It was pre
sented to the General just before he
sailed from Washington; and con
tains a transcript of all the addresses
to him by the authorities of N. Y ork.
The specimens of ornamental pen
manship are certainly elegant, and
have excited general admiration at
the Chateau. By its side was a vo-
lumniou9 portfolio, containing por
traits and autographs of public rer
sonages in France since the com
mencement of the revolution—both
brought out for our amusement.
Alter tea the ladies favored us
with a great variety of songs and mu
sic upon the piano, which they play
with much taste and skill. One of
the number, finding that her voice
and execution could contribute to
the enjoyments of the social circle,
and forgetting herself in endeavoring
to add to the common stock of plea
sure, continued to sit at the piano
until she was solicited to leave it,
instead of the ordinary request to re
main longer. This mark ol polite
ness was so peculiar, that it appear
ed to me worthy of record and imi
tation. Among the musical pieces,
was one or two composed in the Un -
ted States, during the General’s visit.
At 9 o’clock in the evening, we
manifested an intention to return to
Rose that night, and set out for Paris
next morning, desirous that if the
hospitality ot the family were not al
ready exhausted by a visit, which
seemed too long lor strangers who
had no other claim than simply that
of being Americans, a share ol it
might be reserved for others, upon
the republican principle of equality.
But at La Grange, feelings ol gene
rosity and kindness, towards even the
humblest citizens of the U. States,
know no bounds. Favour after fa-
vour descends spontaneously upon
the visitant like the dew; ~od in view
of the paternal affection manifested
on this occasion, our couutry might
address to its illustrious 'benefactor
the forcible apostrophe—“ inasmucn
as thou hast done it unto the least of
these my children, thou hast done it
unto me." Pretexts as plausible »»
genuine hospitality requires, were
urged with a politeness that could
not be resisted, and the result was a
happy prolongattou of our visit.
After breakfast on the following
morning, the General conducted us
to his library, which is on the third
floor, in one corner of the Chateau.
The windows, wnich in summer are
shaded by a copse of trees lilting
their aged branches from below, took
in two directions, and command a
view ot a rural domain, sucti as Cm
cinnatus or Washington would have
enjoyed, and such as its own proprie
tor would not exchange for an em
pire. In the anti-chamber, and the
apartment itsell, are several likeness
es of nis friends, trans-atlantic as well
as European; and in s veral neat
cases, on which the utmost care has
been bestowed, are deposited all the
little presents he'has received from
our countrymen, from the sacred me
morials ot his beloved Washington,
down to the humblest pledges ol gra
lttude and esteem, collected in his
late tour. The whole makes an ex
tensive museum, which is guarded
with more vigilance, and is shown by
the family with more delight, than
would apparently be felt in exhibit
ing the costliest collection of dia
monds. All the articles were taken
out of their places for our inspec
tion ; and the history of them detail
ed with a familiarity which proved
now much they are valued One of
the most conspicuous of these me
morials is a beautiful model of the
waterworks at Philadelphia, which
tnc General took to pieces, to point
out the ingenuity of its construction.
The library itself contains about
two thousand volumes of well select
ed books. A large proportion of
these were presented by his friends.
One compartmeut is filled entirely
with American works, containing a
majority of our best publications?
Additions are daily making to the
collection by th-3 attention ol his cor
respondents. The Phi Beta Kappa
Oration ot Mr. Everett, and the Ad
dress of Mr. Webster, before the
Bunker Hill Association, arc cherish
ed among the choicest treasures It
was a curious incident, that 1 should
here recognise the copy of the Co
lumbiad which had been brought to
me at New-York a year previous, for
examination as a specimen of splen
did binding, before it was presented
to La Fayette.
Having passed an hour or two in
the library, and glanced at its inter
esting contents, we took auotlier long
walk with the ladies over the larm,
pursuing a different route from what
had been taken on the preceding day,
and tr- adiug many a by-path iu a
long circuit through the woodlands,
i keen December air imparted an
additional tinge to complexions nu

NO VOL. r
iurady rosy; aud to the eye of a poet
some of our- lair companions, in their
rambles through tangled copses and
groves of oak, might have seemed
like Dryads. Iu the course of this
piomenade, one ot the daughters of
General Lalayette gave me a circum
stantial account of his imprisonment
at Olrnutz, and of the sufferings hot!*
ol himself and family. The story is
long, and its leading incidents would
not be new to any of my readers.-
One little anecdote, however, which
gave relief to the tragic tale, so much
amused me that I cannot forb ar to
repeat it In their flight through
Germany, the female part of the
G< neral’s family were obliged to as
sume the guise of English travellers,
in order to elude the vigilance of their
enemies. As they had some knowl
edge of the language, to which was
added a similarity ol national dress,
they succeded tolerably well among
strangers. At length, they were
thrown in contact with an English
waiting-maid who had emigrated to
the continent soni years before.
Serious fears of detection were here
■pprehended. But the poor girl err
tertaining no doubt, that the ladies
were really English, although she
found difficulty in understanding them
—and as they were supposed to have
left her native country at a muc.u la*
ter period than herself, she came to
the melancholy conclusion, that by a
long residence abroad, she had io3t
her mother-tongue!
In the midst of walks, conversa
tions, aud enjoyments like these, the
hour of dinner again earne round.
By this time, our places at table had
been as perfectly learned, as if we
had become permanent mmatesof the
Chateau. Another evening of mu:bc
and social pleasure was added to the
»um of our happiness. At Bor 9
o’clock, an intention was again sig
nified to go to Rose, in readiness lor
the Diligence the next morning. But
“it would be madueis to go to i e
hotel that night, where the rt ct ,u;-
modations were not good ; besides,
it was snowing, and the weather was
unpleasant: a servant should be sent
to engage piac s lor us, and it would
be easy to reach the village by eight
o’clock, the hour for the departure
of the coach on the following day."
in Vain were any suggestions oppos> and
to these kind persuasions; and at 10
o’clock, we retired for the th.rd oiglit
to the chambers of the Chateau

of such a family, and if unalloyed
happiness be the portion of any mor
tal, it must consist in the luxury of
such feelings, and in the practice of
such virtues as are possessed by
General Lafayette.

of John Randolph’s speeches ,md
toasts at the public entertainments
in England, an account of which Wat
