Hovv-soldier of the gallant Laurens.—Laurens »\as the sou of the distinguished American, who j W is thrown into the tower cf London.—The j ion was worthy of the sire. He is described, ;tv those who were Lest acquainted with him, (i j realising die beau ideal of the character of flie Cucvaiier Bayard—as a man without fear , Jr/i d without reproach. For the Enquirer . In the sixth year of the war of Independence, the events of the campaign had been very ad !\,.iv to the American arms; and, at the close Ls 1780, the resources of the United Slates were in extreme depression. General Lincoln, who commanded in the southern department, after a ft,rave and protracted defence of Charleston a »raius th • army and fleet under Sir Henry Clin ton and Admiral Arbuthnot, was compelled to i apitnlate, and to surrender his gallant garrison prisoners of war.—By this success, and the sub t> ,‘quent dfle.it of General Gates, at Camden, the Ihi ish force gained a control in the South, kvhieh t iieaten. (la most extreme and disastrous aroi . qacnc©. The main army, under General ■KVashineton, rc-lucedd by detachments to the Bout hern Stat s, was badly clothed, irregularly ■Lrovisioned, and wilhou pay. The magazines l five re empty, the treasury exhausted, and the imblic credit of no avail. In this alarming Cri- Vis of the national affairs, General Washington convened a conn il of his most confidential oth. t- rs ; u fiithful md minute representation was |fe ilmiitted to congress ; and it was respectfully Suggested, as the most immediate means of re - Biff, that a special minister should be sent to H'rance, .© soli* it a loan of money, and supplies ipf do hing and military stores, with n request, ■that a naval superiority might rendezvous on the BAiiicrio.au coast :it an appointed time, to enable ■ho commander in chief to undertake offensive Boperations against the dispersed posts of the en ■bhiv. Congress acceded to tho opinions of this puteresiing communication, and referred the no-j| iiiiination of the minis or to Gen. Washington, {whose seloc.ion of the “all accomplished Lau-jj Brens,” justified the confidence of government,|| fiend secured tho completion of this importantj{ ■trust. As aid-de-camp to General Washing-- |t n. Col. Laurens was full}’ informed of every- Srircumstanco that could give furtherance to the av'gociation : and, writing and speaking the! J icneh language with classical purity, he pos sessed. in an eminent degree, the power of il • 1 ;sfrating all tiie objects. I>y the partiality of Ijliis gallant friend, the writer of the memoir wasi Sippointed Secretary of the mission. On the 9th of February, 1781, wo sailed ' 1 oni Boston, in the frigate Alliance, Captain! Blurry, and arrived a* L’Orient in twenty days. MVui suing, without delay, his route to Paris, Col. ■Laurens met the Marshal de Castries, minister *'•" marine, then on a visit to the seaports, at J lennehon, and, having announced himself to t to Marshal, ho very politely ordered relays of ■iorsos, to expedite our journey. On his arrival >t Paris, CoS. Laurens entered on his mission, »v:th every advantage which distinction of char- j ■-'•■t, ardent zeal of disposition, and consura il' >*e ability to demonstrate tho reciprocal inter pr- s of America and France, in its successful I* v-vniplishment. could confer.—Having deliver - ■' . in'* credentials, and been graciously received •fir* Court, memorials, explanatory of all the aT ;ews and objects of his appointment, were pre -ap nted to the Count de Vergennes, minister of ■ aim relations, and they were ropca’cd and Wm' v ' reed, by personal intercourse, from tho 6th W • March, to the 2d of May, when Col. Laurens ■ror.ccived, from the protracted state of the ne- Hgcoistion, that it was the policy of the cabinet ■n France, by delaying the aid wliich he solicit- ' Med, to exhaust the power and resources of Rri-ij and America, and to render bo*h subaorvi to her views. Under this impression, and f* v I;ef, that this was rather the policy ot tlie; ® .misters, than the King, Col. Laurens decided! w ' prepare a memorial, which should condensej| afc die essential points that had been •F.ated, and which lie determined to place in theji ng s own hand.—This memorial, embracing a j luminous statement of facts, with clear dcviuc-i B 'ns from them, was accordingly prepared : and, W ' die morning of the dav w hen it was to be ■•resented, we went to the cabinet of the Count ■*<-' N ergeunes, where we found Dr. Franklin jj ■j'-d the Count. Colonel Laurens, introducing ■lp e subject of his mission with his usual anima-;; ■ton, was urging the necessity of a compliance ! with his solicitations, when the Count de Ver gennes, in a manner, at once smiling and sar castic, observed, “ Colonel Laurens, you are so recently from the head-quarters of the Ameri can annv, that you forget that you are no long er delivering the orders of the commander in chief, but that you are addressing the minister of a .Monarch, who has every disposition to fa vour your country.” Colonel Laurens, rising from his chair with some emotions, stepped to the opposite side of the room; and, returning to the Count, expressed himself in nearly the following words :—Favour, sir! the respect which I owe my country will not admit the term. Say that the aid is mutual, and I cheerfully sub scribe to the obligation. Cut, as the last argu jment I shall use with your excellency, the sword | | which 1 now wear in the defence of France, as ! well es of my own country, unless the succour I solicit is immediately accorded, I may be com pelled, within a short time, tc draw against I France, as a British subject.” The force •of this I | brief, but appropriate remonstrance, was keen !ly felt by the first diplomatist of Europe, and ! some lime elapsed before the Count de Vergen- ; nes was sufficiently collected to say, “ Mais ’ voila Ic bon Monsieur Franklin, qui es., ’res con tent de nous.” “No one,” (replied Col. Lau rens) “ respects that venerable gentleman more ; than Ido; but to repeat your Excellency’s ob ! serva’ion, I am so recently from the Head Quar- I Iters of the American army, that many circum- I stances, of the highest interest, are familiar to me, which are yet unknown to that worthy man. I must now inform your Excellency, that my next memorial will be presented to his Majesty in person. I have the honor to salute you res pectfully”—and left the room. On reaching the door, Col. Laurens asked my opinion of w hat had passed. I told him, it exceeded all i had imagined cf the interview. “No matter,” said he, “ let us go to the inn, and dress for Court, j where the act must finish,” (The Court was at that time in mourning for the Empress Maria 1 Theresa, the Queen’s mother —but \vc were in dulged in wearing our uniform, with crapes on our arms and hwords.) The special minister of the United fc'tates of America was announced, i and wc entered the audience apartment, where j the King was standing in the centre of a semi j circle, having the old Count Maurepas on the j right, and the Count de Vergennes on his left. ! Having bowed to his Majesty, Colonel Laurens, instead of passing among the foreign ministers, advanced towards tho King, saluted him a sec ond time ; and, approaching nearer to him, pre- ! sented the memorial, which was received under j some embarrassments : lor, although as being j an accredited minister it could not bo refused, ! the innovation on the forms of the Court was j altogether unexpected j and the King passed the paper across tho Count de Vergennes to the Marquis de Segur, the minister of war, who put it ; in his pocket. Tho looks of all present marked thoir surprise. When the ceremonial of the Levee was all over, we went to the inn, where we dined ; and on our return to Paris, in going by Doctor Franklin s house at Passy, I asked ! Col. Laurens if he would not stop, and see the Doctor, lie said ho would see no one, until he knew the result of that day's proceeding. Tho next morning, while at breakfast, he received tho following note ; “ Mr. Necker presents his compliments to Col. Laurens, and requests the honor of an interview at I*2 o’clock.” “Here is something,” said Colonel Laurens — “ lot us dress, and pay our respects to Madam Necker.” Or. entering the drawing room, we found Mr. and Madame Neckar, and the late Madame de Stael, at that time a young lady, about thirteen years old. The ladies having re tired, Mr. Neckar said to Colonel Laurens,“ I | have he honour to inform you, by instruction of i His Majest}-, that the loan, which you solicited ■ in your memorial of yesterday, is accorded, j The fifteen hundred thousand livres, which you i request may be sent to Major Jackson at Am- J sterdam, for the purchase of military stores, will be forwarded from Brussels: and any other accommodation, connected with my department, will be cheerfully granted.”—On the next day, a similar interview with Col. Laurens was re quested by tho Marshal de Castries, who said, “ I am directed by his Majesty to inform you, that the Count de Grasse, who is now at Brest with 35 Ships of the Line, bound for lac Vest Indies, will, conformably to the reques 1 in your memorial of yesterday, rendezvous on the Am-1 encan coast at the time General Washington! shall point out. The howitzers which you want | cannot be furnished from the marine arsenal, as! we have none of that calibre: but, Major Jackson will be able to procure them in Holland. The frigate Resolve will carry you to America, with such part of the money as you may wish to take with you. Any other facility, within my de partmont, will be accorded.’’ j Thus was this important negociation, which ! was certainly the hinge on which the success of the revolution then turned, brought to a happy close, by the wisdom and decision of a youth, who had no; yet attained his 2Sth year; bu% whose matured mind and heroic spirit, admitted! no other rule of official conduct, than the honour and interest of Ins beloved country. Having returned from the successful accom plishment of his important mission, in which he had negotiated the rendezvous and co-operation of the French fleet on the American coast, Col. Laurens resumed his military functions, and was eminently distinguished at the siege of York i Town, where, leading the assault of one of th f - I Bn ish redoubts, he saved the life of the officer who commanded i:, and made him his prisoner. Being appointed commissioner for the capiiula lion, on the part of General Washington, heme Col. Ross, of the British army, Aid-de-Camp to • Lord Cornwallis, and commissioner on behalf of j the garrison. Having placed the terms on which a capitulation would be granted before Col. Ross, i that gentleman observed, “this is a hard article.’ ‘•Wliicharticle?” suidCol. Laurens. “Tho troops shall march out with colors cased, and drums beating a British or a German march.’’ “Yes, sir.” replied Coi. Laurens, with some sang froid, “itis a harsh article.” “ Then, Col. Laurens, lif tha* is your opinion, why is it here? “You- I question, Col. Ross, compels an observation ,j wliich I would ’nave suppressed; you seem to • j forget, sir, that I was a capitnlant at Charleston, i twh. n G* r. Lincoln, altera brave defence of six Weeks ; open trendies, by a very inconsiderable ; (garrison, against a British army and fleet, un- i (der sir Henry Clinton and Admiral Arbuthnot — < land when your lines of approach were within i ; pistol shot of our field works, was refused any i * other terms for his gallant garrison, than march ing out with cqlors cased, and drums not beat- i j ing a British or German march.” “But,” re- 1 ■joined Col. Ross, “ Lord Cornwallis did not com- |< mandat Charleston.” “ Here, sir,” said Col.j] (Laurens, “ you extort another declaration. It 1 i •is not the individual that is here considered ; it < !is the nation. This remains an article, or 1 ; cease to be a commissioner.” The result was : 1 I conformed to this just retribution :—Theßritish | 1 army marched out with colors cased, and drums < beating a British or German March. ( The war in the North being closed by the cap ture of this army, Col. Laurens, impelled by ar dent patriotism, hastened to the Southern army. 1 j were fresh laurels awaited his gallant exertions; | t land where his country was to witness his devo- jj (tion, even to death, in her cause. The writer ij |of the present article, who was then assistant Ij, secretary at war, received his last letter, in j which lie says, “ I am writing to you from a £ sick bed : but 1 have just heard, that General j £ j Greene has ordered a detachment to intercept a 1 | 'party of the British. I shall ask the command, !|j and if refused, I go as a volunteer.” General t Greene, anxious for ihe request of Colonel Lau- < reus : but, his determination to go as a volunteer, | decided him to grant it.*—Ji would appear that \ by some unavoidable accident, some troops, de- | s barked to the support of his party, did not reach ;} Combahoe in time to prevent an attack, by a ' s very superior force, and, in the charge, he was | ( mortally wounded, and fell from his horse, his , party cutting the way through the enemy. j Such was the close, while yet in its bloom, of I. his illustrious life, through which he had exhibit- c cd such proofs of devoted patriotism, heroic valor, i and splendid talents as would have secured to i him the first honors ofhis country, as they ini- c pressed the deepest regret for his loss, and the c i heart-felt tribute of gratitude to his memory. 1 j The followingobservation, by Lord Cornwal- t ' lis, which passed in conversation after the ca ' pi filiation at York Town, attests the high estima tion in which the officers, to whom it refers, were held by his Lordship: He said, “there ' could be no more formidable antagonist, in a ? charge, at the head of his cavalry, than Colonel 1 j William Washington.—And that he had never ( [ taken a position, in the vicinity of General 1 1 Greene’s army, that Colonel Henry Lee did not 1 i find out his weak points ; and strike at it before \ morning.” 1 OC?*The foregoing authentic document is a 1 communication made by Major William Jackson, ( to Major Alexander Garden, at Philadelphia, in i ( Sept. 1822, or’23. U ———l ( *Thia is a mistake. General Gist, of Maryland, coni- : i mtnded the detachment, and Colonel Laurena tell at the t head of an advanced party, which he believed would be : t supported by the General, who managed the expedition!! must unfortunately and injudiciously. Laurens went asij* a volunteer, and was the victim of his own intemperate '! 1 courage. j i Our correspondent authorises usto say that he speaks U from Ids own knowledge : because he witnessed his ! death, and the circumstances attending it. —e-0-g>- ANECDOTES OF WOMEN. j ii HARRIET ACKLAND. “ During a halt of the army, in the retreat i on the Bta of October, ’’ says General Bur- ; goyne, “ 1 rwceited a message from Lucy Har-ljl iriet Ackland, submiting to rny decision a pro-ij i iposal oi passing to the American camp, and j] requesting General Gates’ permission to at- ji tend her husband, who, wounded, was a prison- !i ©r. Though 1 was ready to believe, for I had ill experienced that patience in a supreme degree!; 1 were to be found, as well as every other virtue,lt] under the most tender forms, 1 was astonished at • i this proposal. After so long an agitation of I; i spirits, exhausted not only for the want of rest, ih but want of food, drenched in rain for twelve';! hours together, that a woman should oe capable j ; of such an undertaking as delivering herself to ■ j the enemy, probably in the night, and uncertain:! what hands she might first fail into, appeared an:! effort above human nature. 1 The assistance I was enabled to give wash j small indeed ; I had not even a cup of wine to || ; offer her; but I was told that she had found ij i from some kind hand, a little rum and dirty wa-ii I ter. All I could furnish to her was an open boat and a few lines, written on dirty wot pa per, to Gen. Gates, recommending her to his protectee!ion. The chaplain who had officiated j at the funeral of Gen. Frazier accompanied her, | and with one female servant, and the .Major’s; ■ # ' J valet, who had then, in his shoulder a bail re- j ceived in the late action, she rowed down the 1 river to meet the enemy.” . r EMILY GEIGER. ri At the time General Greens retreated before ‘ i Lord Rawdon from ninety-six, when he had ! passed Broad River, he was very desirous to i send an order to Gen. Sumter, who was on the < Wateree, to join him, that they might attack ! Rawdon, who had divided his force. But tiie j General could find no man in that part cf the = state who was bold enough to undertake so dan-'' c gcrous a mission. The country to be passed,!’ 1 iirough for many miles was full of blood-thirs- | 5 y tones, wno on every occasion tnat offered, t imbrued their hands in the blood of the whigsrijl At length Emily Geiger, presented herself to - Gen. Greene, and proposed to act as his mes-' ] sengor; and the General both surprised and. [ delighted, closed with her proposal. He accord-j i ingly wrote a letter and delivered it, and at the J same time communicated the contends of it ver- I bally, o be told to Sumter in case of accidents.: j Emily was young, but as to her person or ad- t ventures on the way, we have no further in-j formation, except that she was mounted on j horseback, upon a side-saddle, and the second ‘ Jay of her journey she was intercepted Ly Lord Rawdon’s scouts. Coming from the direction of Greene’s army, and not being able to ted 1 an untruth without frisking, Emily was sus- ‘ > pected, and confined to a room; and as the off i- ! I cer in command had the modesty not to searcli her at the time, he sent for an old tory matron as fitting for the purpose. Emil} r was not wont ing in expedient, and as soon as the door was closed and the bustle a little subsided, she ate up j the letter piece by piece. After a while the matron arrived, and upon searching carefully { nothing was to be found of a suspicious nature 1 about the prisoner, and she would disclose no- | thing. Suspicion being thus allayed, the officer ! commanding the scouts suffered Emily to de- | par) for where she said she was bound ; but she ! took a route somewhat circuitous to avoid further i detection, and soon after struck in the road to Sumter’s camp, where she arrived in safety. | Emily told her adventure, and delivered Greene’s ! verbal message to Sumter, who in conse- . quence soon after joined the main army at ; Orangeburg. Emily Geiger afterwards married 1 Mr. Therewits, a rich planter on the Congaree. ; MISS NEWMAN. I An unfortunate whig, flying before a party of the enemy, intent upon his destruction, rushed into the dwelling house of Mr. Trapier, and en tering the apartment of Miss Newman, an in mate of the family, exclaimed —“ protect me, madam, or lam lost.” “Quickly conceal your self,” replied the lady, “ be silent, and rest as sured that I will do all 1 can to save you.” Site j had scarcely time to compose herself, before ad- j mission was demanded from without, and an j officer presented himself, insisted at the place of concealment to which the fugitive had re tired should be immediately pointed out. “It is little probable,” said Miss Newman “ that a soldier, lo whom I am probably altogether un known, would even under the terrors ot death, seek security by intruding himself into my chamber, but, as i am confident that no credit j will be given to my assertions, and that the j power of search rests with you, its indulgence | must necessrily follow, let, I trust, from your i j * * - character as a soldier, and appearance as a gentleman, with the delicacy due to a lady’s feelings.” The composure so happily assured, calmed the violence of tiie party, and the offi-i cer, believing that it could alone be exhibited} from an entire ignorance of the hiding place of the object of his pursuit, bowed and retired. MRS. ELIJAH BAYLEY. In 1814, when Com. Decatur’s squadron was blockaded by Com. Hardy, Stonington was at tacked by the enemy, & gained immortal honor by repulsing them. Attacks were also threat ened on New-London and Decatur, daily, night ly and hourly, either in earnest, or byway of harrassmg diversion. On one occasion, the hostile ships were within half an hour’s sail of New-London. The forts and lines were man ned there and at Groton, half a mile distant, on the opposite side of the river. In the urgen cy of the case, two 18 or 24 pounders, which were unoccupied, were taken by the citizens not on that duty, and mounted on an old breast, work, and measures taken *o furnish ammuni tion for them. In the cons;anr state of alarm that existed, the dry goods had been removed from the stores, and the clothing from the houses in the village, for the fear of a repetition of its fe te j in 1781, when it was burnt and plundered. Pa per being found insufficient for cartridges, flan nel was sought for, and very litffe found. In this critical emergency, with the enemy almost j in gunshot, Mrs. Bailey, wife to Caps. Elijah Bailey, a genuine daughter of seventy-six, who! had remained firm at her post, loosened and kicked off’ her flannel; bidding them to take it in defence of her country : and if any other garment would be of service, that 1 hey might have that also. Maj. Smith, present high she riffofthe county, gave his drawers for the same purpose. Tiie flannel, however, was not made into cartridges by the gallant volunteers, who made a standard of it, declaring that they would fight under it to the last drop of their blood, ra ther than strike it to the enemy. President Monroe, on his tour through Connecticut, was introduced to Mrs. Bailey, and told the story, which was also repeated to La Fayette, on his visit to that place, and seeing the heroine of the anecdote.
