5113 E •:VIVIIPE, OF BONEDFCT AU-
HOLD.
BY JAMES BARTON.
We catch our first view of this unhap
py lady on a bright May day, in 1778,
when she took part in a famous and
splendid pageant at Philadelphia. She
was then a beautiful girl of eighteen—
Miss MErgafet Shippen—the daughter of
an opulentuud ancient Philadelphia fami
ly, and one of the reigning belles of that
town. Her ancestors were among the first
settlers of Pennsylvania, and her great
grandfather was the first Mayor of Phila
delphia. In the course of time the fami
ly had acquired great possessinns ; and;
laying aside the Quaker garb, had became
members of .She Church of England. Da
ring the controversy between:the thirteen
colonies and the fling, which ended in
the Revolutionary war. Edward Shippen,
her father, - the head of the•family, - was in
clined to the Sins side.
It was May the eighteenth, 1778. For
many months the British army had been
quartered in Philadelphia, commanded
by Major-Gtencrul Sir William Howe. The
Gearnd bad now been superceded, and
was about to return to E.:gland. The
officers oh the army, a wealthy class who
had nothing to do, seized the occasion of
hos retirement. to amuse themselves by
gNing a grand festival in his honor, and
this was the day upon which it was to be
held.
The affair began with a grand regatta
upon the Deldware River; or rath erer
lung procession of galleys and barges, fill
ed with officer 9 and ladies, which were
rowed slowly down the whole length of
the city, in an avenue formed by .the
shore crowded with spectators, and a line
of men of war and transport ships. gayly
dry- rd with flags and steamers. At half
past four in thy afternoon the ourges be
gan to mane, the oars keeping time to
martial runsici and when they had ar
rived opp:usite,Market street they all lay
upon their oats, while the bands played
" dial save the King. ' " alter which the
sMdiers gave three cheers. Continuing
their course; thecompany were conveyed
punt the city- to where a grand tourna
ment %Atli to' take place; and it was in
this portion of the entertainment that
Margaret Shippen shone. A spacious
tient, surrounded by troops. bad been pre
pared for the- contest. Upon one side
were stationed all the bands of music in
the army. Th:re were also two pavillions,
with rows of benches one above the other,
filled with the most disting,uished ladies
of the coy.
Ou the front seat -of these pavillions
were !guyed seven of the most beantiful
young ladies ; Pennsylvania could boast.
rhey were dressed in Turkish costume—
trowsers, tunics and turbans; and in
their turbans they wore the fai ors with
which they intended to toward the knights
who were to; contend in their honor.
Among these lovely maidens sat Miss ;
Margaret Shippen. One of the knights
who figured in the tournament was Cap
tain Andre, her • himiliar acquaintance.
Little emitd either of them have thought'
on this bright doy ) how fatally their des
tinies were involved.
The trumpet sounded. The herald ap
peared. The challenge wasdelivered, and
the contest ocCured, which ended without
loss of blood, to the satisfaction of all
coucerced. At the conclusion of the
tournament the company were ushered ;
into a magniflcient ball-room, decorated, 1
we are told, tiy eighty-five mirrors, and
lighted by thirty-four branches . of wax 1
' candles. The bah was opened by fourteen 1
belles in Turkish dress and their fourteen
knights—one Lieutenant Sloper being
the knight who led Miss Shippen out to
the dance. At ten o'clock the windows
were thrown (pen, and a splendid display
of fireworks Was exhibited.
At twelve, • lorre folding doors, which
bad hitherto been concealed, were sud
denly thrown open, which revealed a gor
geous saloon:. two hundred and ten feet
long, forty feet wide. and twenty two-feet
high, with three alcoves on each aide.
This was. the supper room. Upon the
tables there Were twelve hundred dishes.
The guests entered the room a great num
ber of 'black slaves in Oriental- costume,
ranged in Awn lines, bowed to the ground.
This east apartment was one splendor of
wax lights, flowers, ribbons, flags, mir
rors and silver plate. One of the regular
toasts of theloccusion was " Miss Shippeu
and her knight?! After supper the com
pany returned to the ball-room and kept
up the dance+ till four in the morning,
reaching their homes about sunrise.
This festival, as Major Andre remarks,
was the most splendid ever - given by -an
army to its Otter. And little, indeed. had
that chief done to deserve th - An old pf
(key Of the British army, who perceived
the folly of„,. paying such extravagant hon
ors to a gene - al who had won- it victor
ies, said, Eailly. "What will Washington
think of thii ?"-
Exactly a Meath from that tley the
British army evacuated Philadelphia, and
away they sped across Jersey, with Gen
eral IVashington at_ their heels. A day or
two after a; body or American troops
marched in, - „commanded by General Ben
neilict Arnold. •-411 was changed. The
red coats had disappeared- . —blue costs
were in the ascendant; and the new Yan
kee general Was the foremost man in the
city. Arnold. a vain, week :nian t , ever
fond of displi'iy and luxury, appropriated
to himself one of the handsomest houses
in the tawn,f, where'lle set np a costly cs
tablishtnenN kept a great many servants;
gave splendid dinners, and maintained, a
handsome eiluiptige drawn by . four horses

public enemies, who bad been ratalolf
proSetibed, and had found , 're uge. with
the enemy in New York. Among :the
families who attracted his regard Was that
of Edward Shippen, and he was soon ,oh
served to pay. partieular court to ;his
daughter Margaret, •Arnold - trai then a
widower, tbirty-eight years of age; just
tirenty years elder than the young lady.
Ere long he formally ask her hand from
her father, nnd, ,he - consenting, be ad
dressed the daughter, and they were en=
gaged.
In the meantime Arnold had become
so odious by his extravagance and his in
solent, overbearing conduct to the people,
that Congress was obliged to take evil
. zenee of the fact. On the very eve of his
I marriage be was ordered to ho tried by a
court martial, Miss Shlppen, however,
was true toiler engagement, and married
him five days after. The court martial,
as every one knows, sentenced hint to be
reprimanded by General Washington, and
he was reprimanded accordingly.
Our profession," said General Wash
ington to him, "is the - chastest of all;
even the shadow of a fanltitarnisties the
lustre of our finest achieveinents. The
least inadvertence may rob us of the pub
lic favor, so hard to be acquired. I rep
• rehend you for having forgotten that, m
proportion as you hind rendered yourself
formidable to our enemies, you should
have been guarded and temperate in your
deportment towards your fellows citizens.
Exhibit anew those noble qualities which
bare placed you on the list of our most
valued commanders. I will myself fur
nish you, as far es it may be in my power,
with opportunities of regaining the esteem
of your county."
This was more like a eulogium than a
reprimand ; but it did not touch the
heart of Arnold, who went from the pres
ence of his commander, not to regal', the
esteem of his country, but to betray that
country.
A year passed away. He was in com
mand at West Point, in correspondence
with the enema. Whether she shared her
husband's secret during those mouths of
preparation, will perhaps never be known
with certainty. Just before the explosion
of the treason at West Point, Arnold sent
for his wife and child to join him ; and I
sat, the letter which he wrote to her on
this occasion. telling her the best way 'of
reaching him, anti at what homes ' she
should sleep on the road. She had not
been many days at West Plint when the
treason was discovered.
Arnold and his wife were seated at the
breakfast table with Hamilton, Lafayette
and an aid. In the midst of a meal a ,
horseman aliglyted at the door, and, a mo
meat after, a letter was placed in Arnold's
hands which informed him of his ruin.
He controlled his countenance, rose quiet
ly from the table, and beckoned his wife
to foliate him. They went up stairs to
their room, where lay their intent child;
and there he told her that he was a ruin
eel noon, and must fly, that instant for his
life. She fell senseless to the floor. Leav
ing her there, he rushed from the room,
hurried down stairs, sent some one to her;
assistance. and them% - returned to the
breakfast room. He told Ins guests that
General Washington was coming, and he'
must make haste to prepare for his recep
tion. Ile mounted the horse of the mes
senger who had brought the letter, and
galloped away.
Colonel Hamilton has left us an inter
esting account of Mrs. Arnold's demean
or otter her husband's departure. He
says she remained frantic all day, and ac
cased every one who approached herd an
intention to murder her child. She con
tinned, he says, to rave until she wits
Ut
terly exhausted.. But Colonel Burr; iu
I his old age, was accustomed to give a very
different account of the matter. He had
knew', Mrs. Arnold from her infancy, and
he always declared that she knew all
about her husband's treason from the be-
I giuning, and he used to -relate a scene
which he witnessed at the house of Mrs.
Prevost, whom he afterwards married,
which somewhat confirms his opinion.
Mrs. Arnold, it will be TeMembeied, was
sent home to her father, escorted by a
party of horsemen, and remained for a
night at the house of Mrs. Prevost, where
Colonel Burr was. Mrs. Arnold, he said,
burst into the room dressed in a Tiding
habit, and was.ahout to erak to the lady
of the house, seeing him in the dint light
of the apartment, and not recognizing
him, she asked, anxiously:
"Am I safe ? Is this gentleman a
friend ?"
Upon discovering who he was, she told
