Influential and allluenl family in AttaSa'

his hereditary fortune by successful IN
vestments, married to daughter of the
Hon. Henry Clay, who was then at the
zenith Of his popularity and power, Mr.
Durable was, on all sides, couried, con.
suited and caressed. But revcIses over
took him; city property rapidly ran
down; his wife died; Ills friends dimin>
ished with his fortune; and at the COM
mencement of the Mexican war, this
man, once so rich, so popular, and so
.honored, found himself obliged, for sub
sistence, 10 follow our march witt, few

embarked on trading schooner, al,
Tampico, TO return home. The deadly
fever of tha, coast swept off every one
of The crew but a small boy, and when
