H,use-;t was known TO al who hal read the

which dia honor to both-to the country that
received. ana TO the individual who rendered
them. At a very early age, when pleasure
presents ;tseIfin the most captivating and Sc
+ ductiyc form possessed of n fortune which cna-
blai him to comply with her every solicitation,
apl Of a rank which warranted his aspiring to
the lyiliest heights of ambition in his own coun-
try. he possessed, with all these, sufficient ener-
5ry of character to shake off every nducement
~ leasurc of wealth, and of ambition, and to
io;n country, in which, although there was
much TO rratifg an honest ambition, there was
nothing to be found of all that which young
men of his rank and standing, III Europe, were
won't most to desire. He came to our shores
h. offered his services to our government they
| were accepted, and he Immediately received an
Bbnorabe rank and 2 Conspicuous station. One
of nv earliest recollections is connected witt
the peri ID of his arrival, and one of the mos
