LA FAYETTE.
The resolutions which have passed both
Houses of Congress by an unanimous vote
In relatihn to the intended visit of the pat
riotic und venerable La Fayette, to the U
States, is of a description to affect the sen
sibility and interest, the feelings of the ns-
tion. The sending a national ship for him
is nothing more than an actol courtesy, due
to the early, distinguished and venerable
friend of American Independence It will
cost no expense and establish no precedent.
VYc have ships chough in commission, dis
posable, and in the nature of things a char
acter like that of La Fayette, can never rise
again in relation to this country. The only
possible objection that can be made, is on
the ground of offence »o the French gov.
eminent, LaFuyette being a liberate and" not
in favor at the court of France. Yet as it
will not he as a liberate that we send for
I>im, but as the' old friend of America acting
for us in truth in 1776 ys consert with the
Bourbons themselves, the good sense of
France will convince her that no offence is
intended; The ardor, the Constancy, the
personal services of Fayette, tn our revolu -
tionary struggle; his unshaken devotion, to
the United States, through all the snares
and changes of the French revolution, the
. misfortunes of his life, and his virtuous
and venerable age, entitle him to this last
mark of our esteem and gratitude. It Pans
he lias been the uniform friond of Ameri
Can-—at his chateau, their hospitable enter
tainer.
We copy from the National Intelligencer,
the following neat and pertinent remarks,
of Mr Hayne, in the Senate, on hit report
ing to that body the resolutions in relation
to L • Fayette;
I have seldom, said Mr. H. had a more
delightful duty to perform, than that of re
porting these resolutions in honor of the
Marquis De La Fayette—resolutions in-
tended to give expression to the feelings of
veneration and attachment which the peo
pie of the United States have always cher
ished for that gallant soldier and devoted
patriot. After an absence from this country
<lf nearly half a century, his services are still
‘‘freshly remembered,” while bis virtues
'dre enshrined in every American heart.
There are men still left among us, who
were liis companions in arms, or who, from
their high stations in the public service,
witnessed his exertions in the field. I be’
' bold some ot them now around me, occu
pying seats in this Hally and honoring by
their presence, the councils of their coun
try; men, whose beads have indeed been
bleached by the revolution of many winters
but whose hearts time has had no power
to chill. Their bosoms still swell with pa
triotic emotions, and the warm current of
unbroken affection rushes strongly towards
the friends of their youth, and their old
Companions in arms.-f-Perhaps, there ex-
is , no stronger tie than that which binds
th patriot and soldier to those with whom
he has shared pommOn dangers, and achiev
ed common victories. Such men, said Mr
Haync, wili excusfe me, the members of
tiiis honorable body will indulge me
■while I dwell, for a few moments, on the*
character and services ol the gallant La
Payette. We are, it is true,, no strangers
to bis- history, yet, we may recal some of
the incidents of his life with, perfect satis
faction few men have ever exhibited so
touch purity in motive, and so much vir.
tuc in conduct.
The era of the American Revolution
found the Marquis La Fayette a young man,
(only nineteen years of age) in attendance
at the court of his sovereign, the King of
France.—-A nobleman by birth, of a dis
tinguished family, and the heir to a large
fortune, he might be said, in the language
of Lord Byron, to have been “bred and a
ristocrat.” That the earliest reflections of
such a than should have taught him the
•value of liberty; that the earliest efforts of
bis ambition should have made him aspire
to the character of the benefactor ol man
kind, that his very first step should have
placed him by the side of patriots and he
mes who were fighting the battles of free-
doestablishes beyond ail question that
he '' as i man “cast in no common mould.”
V/bile ether noblemen ol his age and atand-
rest. They were unavailing; for what ob
stacfcs are insuperable to the noble in w ul
—the firm in heart—the steadfast in pur
pose. La Fuyelte fitted out an expedition
at his own private expense, and embarked
himself and his fortunes in the causb of free
dom. He arrived at Charleston early in
1777, and, notwithstanding his. extreme
youth, was immediate appointed by Con-
gross a Major General in the Amertcan-
army. From that period, to *he termina
tion of the contest, fits performed, with ex
traordinary 2eal ahd fidelity, all the duties
incident to his exalted station, and proved
himself, on all occasions, a high minded and
accomplished gentleman, a gallant soldier,
and a consummate captain. At the battle
of Brandywine, he freely shed his blood, in
our service, and in the campaign of 1781,
he was entrusted by Washington with the
command of a seperate army for the defence
»l Virginia. He fulfilled that high duty to
the perfect satisfaction of the Comititinder
hi Chief, and to the admiration ofthe whole
country. It is sufficient praise to say that,
on that occasion, he, with a very inferior
force, baffled the skill, and frustrated the
plans of the “all accomplished Cornwallis.”
All who knew La Fayette during the Ue-
volution,-bear united testimony to his un
common menu The histories of that day
are filled with instances ofltis gallantry and
good conduct. But why multiply proofs!
His best eulogy was embraced in a single
sentence?— Washington wot. hisfriend!—
Witness thodettcr written by his own hand,
while President ofthe United States, to the
Empuor of Germany, (soliciting ihc re-
lease or the Marquis from the prison Into
which he had bceii thrown) breathing in
ev , e . r 7 J* ne 8 brotherly affection) and in
which he declares, “that his friendship for
the Marquis La Fayette has been constant
and sincere. Washington never forgot—
he never ceased to love him; and'his last
wHl affords evidence that he cherished for
him feelings which not even the prospect
of death could extinguish.. La Fayette did
not leave our shores until he had seen us a
free and independent nation; and from that
moment to the present, he has claimed, a-
the proudest of his titles, that of an Ameri
can Citizsn.
I will pass over the troubles in which he
has been constantly involved since his re
turn to Franee, with the single remark,
that it will be recorded by the candid hjstc,
nan of this events age.tftaVamidst scenes
ot blood, in which unhappy France has been
steeped, the hands of Lalayette were un
stained; and, though surrounded by terno
tations, before which the best hearts and
best mmds of Europe have fallen, he has
“held fast hu integrity to the end ” The
united States have at no period been un
mindful of the debt which they owe to the
Marquis La Fayette. They have recorded
their gratitude, hot merely by repeated
votes of thanks, but by more substantial
deeds; nor should it ever be forgotten, that
it was an American coitizen who opened
the doors of his dungeon at Olmutz.
Let it not be supposed that these resolu
turns are superfluous, or that thevadd noth-
mg to the expressions ofthe national era
titude. The moral effect of Pleasures of
this character is very great They acton
tmblie opinion, (that lever by which the
modern world is moved;) they purify pub
lie feeling and ennoble public sentiment,
teaching the rising generation the great
easons of patriotism and ol duty. Repub
lies have been charged with ingratitude
and Europeans, ignorant of the whole
structure of our government and the course
of our policy, have supposed that the
charge is justified by our own example —
But when it shall, at tome future period,
come to be known abroad how the United
Slates have, on all occasions, acted towards
the Marquis La Fayette; when it shall be
understood that, in addition to the other
pt oofs of our gratitude, (which I am not
disposed here to enumerate,) we approach
ed him in hts old age with the expressions
of our affectionate attachment,* it may per
haps be acknowledged, that there can be no
better iahentance than the gratitude of
free people.
. There is another view of this subject,
said Mr H. entitled to some weight. It is
the moral effect of the proposed measure
on our own country. No one acquainted
with the American character, can doubt
that the Marquis La Fayette will meet
with such a reception here as is due to the
friend ot Washington. He will be met by
the few survivors of the Revolution, (|,is
former companions in arms,) with the
warmth of an old and tried affection, (he
will find in the hands of some of them ‘the
treasured memorials of his ancient friend
ship) he will be greeted with enthusiam bv
millions or freemen. How enviable will be
the feelings of that venerable man, when,
in traversing this great republic,-he bbali
behold every where the trimtipli of order,
peace, political and religious liborty, unex
ampled prosperity, and unequalled happi
ness? and when he shall feel, -afid know, and
hear it every where acknowledged, that
these blessings arc in part the fruit of his
efforts!
The MarquiB La Fayette has signified
his wish to visit our country. He must
not be suffered to approach it as an undis
tinguished stranger. He must come pro
tected by the flag under which he has so
eften fought, and so often conquered.
These Resolutions are worthy of the Na
tional Legislature; they will find a response
in every American bosom. I hope, I trust,
they will pass the Senate as they have done
the House of Representatives, by a unani*
mous vote. ,
Tiiehtippied moment in the life ofthej
Marquis La Fayette wad probably that when
finding that Francp had acknowledged the
independence ol ihe United States, he rush
ed into the presence of Washington, and
throwing himself into the bosom ol his
friend, burst into a flood of patriotic tears.
But, should we pass the resolution, he is
destined to experience still tfiore exalted
happiness, when ho shall be assured, by the
unanimous vote of (he American Congress,
“of the grateful and affectionate attachment
still cherished for him by the'Government
and People ofthe United States,” and when
he shall be hailed by ten millions of free
men as 4hcir benefactor.
From Martinique.
The French ship Fort Yoyal, Captain
Saintbellin, arrived at this p >rt yesterday
afternoon, in 31 clays from Martinique.—
Capt, S. confirms the accounts received
here a few days since o! the disturbances
in that colony, we learn however, that the
threatened insurrection wais not so serious
as was at first '.supposed—the statements
bring greatly exagerated. Several of the
principle ringleaders have been tried and
sentenced to be banished for life. It was
the intention of the government to have
sent some of the offenders to this poft, in
the ship Fort Royal, but finding that they
could not land here, the governor deter
mined to send them to France, there to
meet with the reward due to their crimes.
