1N TERESTIN G M EMOIR,
We have the pleasure of laying before our;
t-jadera ihis morning a Narrative of the gallan ;
Sod times oi the Revolution wlncli
ft.av refn-sh our readers al crthe dark and tar
iff sc.Me* whi-rii have so recen ly transpired. —
AVe are indebted for this memoir to Judge John
s >n of the Gen r d Court, who was a friend and
if. 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

must unfortunately and injudiciously. Laurens went asij*
a volunteer, and was the victim of his own intemperate '! 1
courage. j i

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.

LABORING SCHOOL. ,
IN answer to the many enquiries made, the principal
begs leave to state, that this Institution is full and in;
a flourishing condition. He is convinced by the experi-j
ment that schools of this kind will succeed and prosper. |
Some difficulties were anticipated from the novelty of*
the thing and from a want of firmness in parents ; but if
they will do their duty, no fears need be entertained about
the success and usefulness of such establishments.
Mr. Enos B. Myer, educated in a school of this kind,ii
(and who conducted this during the Principal’s absence!*
to New-York) is engaged us a permanent assistant : onj
account of this arrangement, eight more students may be j
admitted after Ist of July, the commencement of the se-(
| cond term. By this date, more commodious buildings!
i will be arected.
The terms and regulations arc as heretofore, viz :
1. The course of studies to occupy three years.
2. Each student to labor three hours per day.
3. Board, washing and tuition for Ist year, §2O ; for
the 2d §75; for the 3d §SO. Payment half yearly in
advance.
There will be a short vacation of about a week com
mencing on the 23d July. The public examination will
Ibe held early in November, of which due notice will be
given and then a vacation till January. i, J
Letters, post-paid, not otherwise, making applications ji
for admission or inquiries in regard to the .School, will re- j i
