MISCELLANY.
WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD.
[The subjoined reminiscences of this distinguished
man, whilst American Minister at the French Court,
will be read with great interest. They have been
communicated by Eugene Vail, Esquire, now in Paris,
who officiated as his private Secretary at the period
referred to, and whose opportunities, of course, for
accurate observation, were undoubted. They place
the character of Mr. Crawford in some new and striking
points of view.] — [Ed. Southern Literary Messenger.
William H. Crawford, the subject of the fol
lowing remarks, was a man approaching, as
near as can be, the “noblest work of God,”
as defined by the immortal Pope. He could
bear scrutinising in every sense. Take his
heart, or take his mind, you would meet in
such enough to satisfy the most fastidious.
Destined to be a statesman, he possessed that
firmness of purpose which may be termed civil
courage. Had he been a soldier, he would
have been brave to audacity. To this many
circumstances but little known, except by those
in the habit of a clo-e intimacy with him, can
testify.
In the year 1813, when it was deemed fit
that an extraordinary, uniting weight ofcharac
ter with talent, should be sent to France, Mr.
Crawford was selected by Mr. Madison for that
] delicate mission—but immense indeed were
j the difficulties that interposed. Our sea
| ports were closely blockaded ; and if
1 perchance a vessel eluded the blockading
squadron, new and greater dangers still awai
ted her at the entrance of a French harbor.
Yet the necessity that our minister should
reach the imperial court without delay was
] imminent, and accordingly he embarked on
board a sloop of war, whose gallant captain
I had most positive orders to avoid as much as
1 possible an action with the enemy. The safe
landing of the minister, being the main object,
a recourse to arms was to be had only in the
defensive. This vessel successfully evaded
the British cruisers on our side, and rapidly
strode across the Atlantic. She made for
L’Orient, in the vicinity of which she had
nearly been barred by a far superior force.
We shall never forget, although we cannot
justly describe, the manner of the noble com
mande', now no more, when he narrated to us
the struggle, that like a tempestuous sea arose
in his breast, at the near and at times nearer
approach of the armed vessel, which, as the
fastest sailing ship of the British squadron, had
been detached for the purpose of intercepting
ours. Cruel was the temptation, and burning
the desire, to grappel with an enemy they
were conscious they might have subdued, even
before the other forces could have come up.
What pen could justly describe the impatient
step of the commander, as he paced the deck
—the glistening eye of the young officer that
bespoke indignation, the bosom that heaved a
sigh, and may be an imprecation against the
order that propelled onward the noble vessel.
Howevei intense the feeling which pervaded
the whole gallant crew, more imposing still
was that sense of obedience that kept her on
her track. From the hesitating movements
of the chase, it was evident that over-confi
dence did not exist on board of her, and that
she had but little relished the idea of separating
herself too much from her consorts behind;
—at times drawing back, she would at others
come closer ; and when the latter happened,
more arduow became tbedutvofthe American
commander, inasmuch as he had to look loth
to the rigid execution of his orders to fbreo
sails, Which otherwise might perhaps purpose
ly have been sluggishly hauled, and to ihe no
less important duty of keeping his passenger
from harm’s Way. This, Imwever, was no
easy task. By this time, Mr. Crawford hnd
fully identified himself in feeling with thesiup*
company, and would willingly, had an action
been unavoidable, have exchanged his ministe
rial charge with the humblest member of ti e
creW. Mounted upon a gun, he keenly watch
ed the enemy’s movements, nnd seemed at
times to rejoice at her superior sailing. T .ere
he stood like a target, and would inevitably
have been the first object aimed nt on hoard.
True it is, that nt the request, Mr.
Crawford would step down and return to tlie
deck, where, even his high stature towering
over the gangway st.ll marked him for the
first fiie which was every minute expected—
] and true it is, that upon observations made by
the captain, lie Would occasionally retire into
ihe cabin, but lie v\e9 no sooner there, than up
again he was seen. This was so oftentimes
repeated, and placed him in such imminent
danger, that, at last, the captain felt under the
necessity of notifying his prisoner , that were
it to occur again he would have to enforce his
orders and to keep him down by compulsion.
Os this thorough contempt of death, of this
complete self-denial in Mr. Crawford, many
prouf can be adduced*
The sudden transposition of the plain mat
ter-of-fact republican from the plough, to tlie
dazzling circles of European society, i9 fre
quently the cause of extreme embarrassment
to the uninitiated, and of mirth to others.
Excessive modesty, that frequently borders
upon awkwardness, naturally intimidates at
first; whilst on the other side, we have seen
that a long residence abroad had a tendency
to divest some of our citizens of those habits
of candor that befit them much better than an
outlandish mimickry, which, to their disgrace,
too many of the,—, da adopt. Against all this
William H. Crawford was proof; and, whether
surrounded by the most refined—whether at
Woodlawn or at the Tulleries, he ever rc
jmained in manner, and indeed an American.
In the drawing room, without fastidiousness,
he was courteous and attentive to ladies in
general, who found a great charm, not the
least for being novel to them, in his frank and
open conversation; and we have ourselves
heard Madam de Stael—than whom, in such
j matters, no better judge could be found—
assert that she had rarely conversed with a
! foreigner who had edified her more than he.
That very simplicity of manners, indeed;
stamped as it was with energy and natural
grace, far from being detrimental to him abroad
■ proved rather the reverse. There was a
straightforwardness in all he did, that contras,
ted singu'arly with the sophistry and less
sincere refinements of the members es the
society in which he moved, that forcibly drew
the attention towards him.
NO. 35‘
His natural antipathy against every thing
like ostentution, made it particularly burden
some to him to have to wear nt court the pre
scribed costume ; and he frequently wondered
that a man of such genius as Napoleon could
|be so tenacious upon a subject apparently so
[trifling—but the great man was sunk in the
king, for king lie must be, and in lowering
, himself from his high position of a conqueror
(Imperator) to the pageantry of his diminutive
.colleagues, he had likewise adopted all their
weaknesses. Whilst on the subject of Napo
leon, it may not be amiss to observe that he
possessed a degree of inquisitiveness nnd
curiosity somewhat embarrassing, and which
bore principally upon descriptiors of the per.
sons of individuals who interested him. In
such cases his questions were incessant.
Upon Mr. Crawford’s first presentation to tlie
Emperor, the latter was remarkably talkative—
inquired particularly about the country, but
more minutely still, concerning the person
nnd appearance of Mr. Madison, his age, &c.
due.
“ And pray, sir,” said he, “ is Mr. Madison
tall?”
“Not at all,” quickly replied Mr. Crawford ;
“Heis on the contrary quite small—no taller
than that,” raising, as he spoke, his arm at a
right angle with his body. In order to see the
mark, however, Napoleon had himself to look
up —a singular comment upon the attitude of
the conqueror.
Mr. Crawford had a high opinion of the skill
and bravery possessed by Napoleon—but he
never did think him, as some of the liberals in
the latter period of bis reign did, (in the one
hundred days,) susceptible of sacrificing to
liberty his lofty notions of military grandeur
and glory.
In the year 1814, the Minister of Marine
having died, the whole diplomatic corps, with
all other distinguished characters in Paris,
were invited to attend the funeral. The for.
mer repaired to the rendezvous, in costume,
the American minister excepted, who unaware
that it was necessary on such an occasion,
assisted in a plain black frock, and in boots.
His appearance, he being the only one so
dressed, naturally excited attention ; but when
the procession, which was to move from the
hotel of the deceased to the church, was form*
ed, Mr. Crawford was omitted in the arrange
ment, and left to take his place as he might
among the Ciowd. In this emergency, he
soon discovered the dilemma into which he
had been, perhaps purposely, placed by
the master of ceremonies. Wellington, the
; then lion of the day, in his full costume, had
been placed at the very head of the procession,
whilst two by two, following him, came the
other diplomats. Perceiving this, Mr. Craw
i'ord quietly walked up, and composedly took
i bis stand by the side of the conqueror of Wa
terloo ! Many were then the inquiries set on
foot among the assistants, as to * who was the
tall man in black,” and whether he should not
be requested to fall back from the place he had
usurped. We overheard one of the masters
of ceremony observe, that if he knew who he
was, he would unhesitatingly do so—and upon
receiving from us, for answer, that the person
in question was the Minister from the United
States, he observed, “ Ah! e’est different.”
This man, although high in office, it had proba.
bly not been in the power of the legitimate
j king to imbue with the idea of reverence and
awe, then the fashien, for every thing English.
This last remark, however, applies to the Targe
body of the French nation, which, if supposed
jiQ be under any obligation to England, may
tw termed ungrateful indeed. The mass of
