his noble hospitality, his simplicity and waamth of heart,
his beneficence and active charity, crowned with aspnders
honour, and all the chivalry and gallantry of a successful
patriot. Free from bigotry himself, he does not appear
suspect it in others, and at his board are always found
eno-t intelligent Americans, as well as strangers, wl•

amiable and excellent General Harper, of Maryland,

lish gentleman, who possesses a good estate in the
diate neighbourhood of Baltimore : he is a very handsome,
elegant man, and Isis kindness can never be forgotten
the stranger reared at his feet. Mrs. Paterson was erei
way worthy of her noble grandfather, beautiful, amiable,
and accomplished; possessing all the refinements andi.
natiors of her charming sex, with a noble and generous
heart—adored by her own family, and esteemed and
spected by the state of Maryland, the noble Viceroy ,
welt glory in his bride, and Ireland be proud of his choice.
