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
