Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated Paris, Jan. 30, 1 825. The following notice of the distinguished individual who is now receiving from a grateful people the reward of his early devotion lo the cause of American Liberty, may perhaps he acceptable to the readers of your
paper. It is translated trom trie iviemoirs
of the Count de Segur, written hy himself,"
a work which has lately appeared in this
city. The author, who is still living at Pa
ris, was one of the officers who went to A-
merica in 1782, with the reinforcement un
der the command of M. de la Touche. He has since filled many civil and diplomatic stations, and is the author of several ingeni ous works in history and politics. After describing the sensations produced in France, by the arrival of the commissioners from the American Congress, M. de Segur proceeds: "Silas Dean and Arthur Lee frankly confessed that the aid of a number of well informed accomplished officers, would be agreeable as well as useful to them. They even told us that they were authorized to promise those of us who would embrace their cause, promotion in proportion to their services. I . 'The American troops already numbered in their ranks several European volunteers, whom the love of glory and of independence had led thither. The most distinguished were two Poles, whose names will be hand
ed down to posterity: the brave Pulaski, and the illustrious Koscinsko, who has since broken for a moment the chains of his country, and did not yield until by his repeated battles, and brilliant triumphs, he had shaken the colossal power which attacked it. To these may be added Major Fleury, who, by his talents and successful courage, has done honor to our country. i "Jhe three first Frenchmen, distinguished by their rank at Court, who offered their services to the Americans, were the Marquis de Lafayette, the Viscount de Noailles, and myself. We had long been united by friendship and similarity of tastes, to which were soon a&gr added ties of blood. Lafayette and the Viscount de Noailles had married daughters of the duke de Noailles, then styled duke D'Ayen: their mother, the dutchess D'Ayen, was daughter by a first marriage, of M. D'Augesseau. He had by a second marriage, twenty years after, several children, one of whom was M. D'Augesseau, now a Peer of France; a daughter,
coast of Spain his vessel as well as his companions in arms, who had already despaired of his appearance. He set sail, arrived without accident in America, and received there the welcome which his noble and generous enterprize deserved." Rcpeitay. "In America," (says an Englishman in a
letter to his friend in Liverpool) "tyranny is
impossible; neither can government tyrani.ize over an individual; nor can one individual tyrannize over another. No man here needs submit to any thing but law! and
that he must submit to. To be sure, a mis
take may he made in legislation, or a wrong decision given in a court of justice, because neither legislators nor jurymen are perfect beings ; but nothing knmm to be zircrg will be persevered in. An elector may be coaxed to give a foolish vote, but no man can command the vote of another. I have had the republican satisfaction of seeing a tenant refuse to vote for his own landlord, and the refusal perfectly civil too, both in words and in manner. "1 really cannot do it, Mr. F." "Well, but I hope you are not going to exert yourself against me!1' "Why, Mr. F. you know I have my own party to support, and I mu?t do my duty!" "Why! you d d heretic," said I, "what, refuse to vote for your own landlord! It is enough to make an En
glishman stand on his head, only to think of
such a thing!" "Well, sir, I don t calculate that he has anyr claims on me but for his rent!"
vcyed with the greatest certainty and effect to the greatest number of men, it will appear veiy tndent, ibat a knowledge of what is thus written and done abroad 19 necessary to the successful cultivation of our own literature, and important to the politician, scholar and mpn of business, as well as to him who reads only for amusement. To persons who reside at a distance from the great depositories of New Books and New Inven,tiong.a work conducted upon this plain is peculiarly important, as affording to them un opportunity cf keeping pace, in some decree, with the progress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense cf munej or time.

time to sound the disposition of the Court, and to get together the means necessary for the execution of our project. The conformity which existed between us in feelings, opinions and wishes, unhappily did not extend to our fortunes. The Viscount de Noailles and myself were dependent on our parents from whom we received annual allowances. Lafayette, on the contrary, although our junior both in age and rank, found himself, by a singular chance, at the age of nineteen, master of his property and person, and independent possessor of one hundred thousand livres a year. "We were too ardent to be long discreet. We confided our plans to some young men whom we hoped to induce to join our enter.11 1

the Ministry alarmed lest the departure ofj
volunteers of a distinguished rank tor Amer
ica, which of course they would be suppos
ed to have authorized, might discover to the
English their views, which they still wisned
to conceal, formally commanded us to give
up our intention. Our relations, who hith
erto had known nothing of it, took the alarm
and reproached us in the strongest terms for
our adventurous tolly. 1 was particularly
struck with the surprise it produced in the
family of Lafayette. It was the more amus
ing to me, as it shewed me how entirely his grand parents had hitherto mistaken his
character. Lafayette had always, and par
ticularly when 3'oung, a grave and cold de
meanor, which gave him a false impression
of embarrassment and timidit-. This cold
exterior, and a deliberate manner of speaking, formed a singular contrast with the petulance, the frivolit-, and brilliant loquacity of persons of his age. But this unpretending exterior, concealed a mind the most ac
tive, a character the most firm, and a soul
the most ardent.
"I had better means of knowing him than
any other person; for the winter before, be ing in love with a young lady, as remarka
ble for the sweetness of her disposition as
her beauty, he had suspected me without
the least reason, of being his rival, and in
spite of our friendship, had spent almost the
whole night at my loagings, in trying to in
duce me to dispute with him, sword in hand,
the heart of a beauty to whom I had not the
slightest pretensions.

ciliation, I could not help laughing to hear
the Marshal de JNoailles, and others of his family, beg me to use my influence over him.
in animating his indifference, arousing him from his indolence, and imparting a little
fire to his character. Imagine then their
surprise on hearing of a sudden, that this
young sage of nineteen, so cold, so careless,
led away by a passion for glory and for danger, was about to brave the ocean, that he
might join the struggle in favour of American liberty. "The prohibition which had been issued against our undertaking this great adven
ture, produced upon us very different eflccts. The Viscount de Noailles and I were thun
derstruck, as it absolutely deprived us of
the liberty and means of resistance; it proved on the contrary to stimulate Lafayette, who feeling that he possessed all the means necessary for that purpose, resolved to infringe it. "He, however, dissembled, and seemed at first to yield with us to the orders of the Court. But two months after, one morning about seven o'clock, he entered my bedchamber, shut the door after him, and sitting down by the side of my bed, said to me -WI am off for America; not a scul knows it; but I have too much regard for you, to
think of going without imparting my secret to you. But, said I, what steps have you taken to secure your passage? He then told me that having, under a plausible pretext, left France on a journey, he had purchased a vessel, which was to wait for him in a Spanish port. He had armed her, provided a good crew, and had on board not only arms and ammunition, but a considerable number of officers besides, who had consented to t c j. t lj j r
