At the end of the revolution Rudolph mar ried and settled in or near Baltimore, Md. A year or two afterwards he was commis sioned by 1'resldent Washington, a field ollicer In some forces that were being raised at I'itlsbnrg under General Wayne. Be re paired to Pittsburg, but sa the forces being raised were not called into actnal service he turned his course homeward. When bat one day???s ride from home he met a friend from whom be learned sad tidings ol his wile's Infidelity, upon which he turnod awsy and was never alter seen or known in his Maryland borne. A short time afterwards Rudolph turned up in Savannah, Ga., as commander ol a vessel engaged in the Rest India trade. He was here a marked character and bold adven turer, and was at times suspected of bucca neering propensities. He was from peculiar traits known to all classes. About the begin ning of the French revolution, Havannah???a trading captain disappeared, and was never alter known in that port. Bunou-u nxcoxss a raxsonHAN, He had crossed tbe Atlantio and made France the land of his adoption, assuming tlie name of Miahael Key. Here he passed several years in obeeurlty. In 17UG Bonaparte began bis victorious career at Monte Katho, followed by the series ol brilllsnt victories which in a lew weeks changed tho face ol Italy and electrified Europe. Key was At this time a rising subaltern in the army ol Italy. History tells us he was hated and despised bv tbe French soldiery, wl.o cussed him as a foreigner and a "yankee buccanier.??? Nevertheless all Paris resound ed with Key???s deeds ol valor, and he was there freely ipokon ol as the rising American ofllcer. About this period tbe United States gevernmentsenta joint commission to France. One o( these commissioners was s Georgian (we believe Colonel Cummings) another a South Carolinian(ere think General Pinck ney.)

The marked characteristics ol Key???e were essentially different front those of the other great French marshals. Ho had none ol the fiery vivacity and inipetuoeity of Marat, Lannrs, Jnnot, Dessaix and others ol that school.
