It is Mid he niKn it Sen* Lmiii to tae o 1

of Cavalry; after the signal victory of that General

entered intoaome mercantile speculations and in
17?3 sailed for the Weat Indies u supercargo, in
the employment of Ur. Leavenworth of Phils-
ddphi* from which port he took bis departure,
leaving hia family at Elktown in Maryland, 00m
posed of bia wife, three Oauyhterr and a Son, the
children very young; from that time to this, he,
nor the vessel, crew, or cargo, have ever directly
been heard of, save himte/f in the Metamorphoiis,
now tbe subject of public solicitude: he never
made any remittance to bis family. He waa never
remarked for any particular mental endowment*
or.for any knowledge or the French Language—
If Rudolph erer arrived in Frauce.it must have
been In 1793, would he then u a stranger have
arrived at the rank of Adjptant General in 1794,
and tbia extraordinsiy promotion remain unnotie-
ed in the political tenpM of that day, the uproar
of whieh reached even to the rank* and destroy
ed privates, u well u offices* if they had talents
or enemies.
Rudolph wu a man of feeSng, of honor and in
tegrity, and had he Bred, he would have account
ed for the cargo entrusted to hiaeare, he did not
do a* because the waves engslphed him and his
nehei—would be have left hia wife and infant
children under pecuniary embarrassment* u they
were for year* when he wu literally wallowing
in wealthf would he have married again, hU wife
living! ft is tree he wu not hippy in his family,
and that circumstance, and love of liberty, fame
and war, induced him, u it is understood, to leave
the United States with tbe intention of serving in
the armies in France, (tan supposed to be a rally-
ing point fortbefteedom of the world; but would
the Revolutionary principles of that period, the
mannera and morals of that day and the, thirst of
glory, induce him JtnaUy to abandon bia country,
hia wife and hia oyiftrfny. If Rudolph, thus fed,
from the virtue* of an American soldier and pa*
triot, to an abandoned villain, do not let America
claim bhn u her ton. In the name of Heaven, let
Ney be a Frenchman, of any nstino, but a native

well situated for the operation of artillery.
A battle is unavoidable, ai the Young Are,

their village if he can prevent it, and U •
moat blood thirsty savage; one who hu
always been opposed to the trading business
on the river,and the late massacre, as it may
be called, will no doubt make them place
greater confidence in their skill in tbe art
of war than they really poisesa.—Major
Henry and Mr. Immci, both belonging to
the Far Company, are, it is supposed, 01
their way down tbe river from the moun
tains, and should they reach tbe - Aricaraa
before us, 1 fear they will be cut off u they
are unacquainted with the hostile disposi'
lion of the Indians towards them. This
instance ol treachery and barbarity in the
Aricares hu excited to great a hatred uf
them that I believe ahould we be success-
full they will receive no quarter. I have
been usigned to the command of a ’aix
pound gun, intended to commence the ac
tion in the front, assisted by a band of Oto’e,
while the infantry with the other large guns
jour upon them from the right and left—
: f we gain a hill which is on the right of
their town, their death peal is rung. At
any rate it is impossible the expedition
should tail, as the Aricares are at war with
almost every tribe around them, in conse
quence of their friendship for the whites;
as the Aricares are good marksmen, it is
impossible we should all escape, u they
are all armed with long British muskets or
tides. On our way up I expect we shall
be joined by about 100 warriors of ibe" Si
oux nation, who arc at war with them, and
well acquainted with their mode of fight
ing. Should 1 be fortnnate enough to re
turn, 1 shall transmit a detailed account of
our proceedings, and 1 hope to give a bril
liant character to our expedition. It It
supposed by some, that the Soekt, Foxee
or Fanner* will attack tbe fort in our ab
sence, if they can learn the number of troop*,
leaving it; but I think their fear* are ground
less, as they ere acquainted with the itrengtb
of the garrison, where 100 soldiers can keep
out as many thouaand Indians. Our can
tonment it at present a scene ol bustle and
confusion making preparation for the war,
and never did I see soldier* more animated
at the thoughts of conquest, than are tbe
troops at this post.—A. T. Eve. Poet, 6th
