He know 'nothing of his birth dr parentage, but supposed. he was born in ,Portugal, whence lie was stolek when a child and carried to Ireland. His earliest recollections were those of boyhood in the Tatter country. While yet a lad he appren ticed himself to a sea captain for severryears, in pay for a passage to this country. On his arrival hiS time and services were sold to a Mr. Winton of Virginia, in whose-seriiee ho remained': until the breaking out of the !Revo lution. Being 'of •an adventurous ;turn of mind, he sought and obtained permission of his, master to-join the army, and was !en m F rged in active r 'service during the whole contest.— Such, waii his strength and personal' bravery that no enemy could resist him. He; wielded a sword, the blade of which was five feet in length, a. though it had been a feathett, and every one who. came in contact with Lim paid the forfei of his life. At Stony Point lie was one of tre "forlorn hope," which ;wigs ad vanced ti cutaway the abattis, and, mixt to Major Gi l ison, was the first man to ent4r the works. It, Bitandvwine and Momiiouth he exhibited the mot fearless bravery and nothing ut his inability to write prevented his promNtion to a commission. Transferred to the So th, he took part in most of the en gagemen s in that section, and toward the dose of the war he was engaged in a contest which exhibited in a striking manner, his self= confidende and courage. I i One ddywhile reconnoitering he stopped at the housd of a man by the name of Ay— to I refresh h'mself. While at the table, be was surprised by nine British troopers 144 rode up to th house and told him he Whs their 2S4Im prisoner. Seeing that he was so greatly out: numbered, he pretended to surrender; and the dragcons.seeing he was apparently peace fully inclined, after disarming him,: allowed him coniiderable freedom, while they sat down to partake of the food Which he had left when disturbed. Wandering 411.1:t in the dooryard he was accosted by the paymaster, who demanded of him everything of 'value about hir, at the risk of his life, in the. case of retusa . " ' awe nothings to giVe.' said ! Francisco; "so use your pleasirre.." "Give up ? those ma, sive silver buckles in our shoes,'' ! said the dragoon. "They, were the gift of a friend," replied Francisco; "and give them i t to you I lever shall; take them if ybu will • yea have be power, but I will never give them ' .l to any one."', i Putting his saber under his arm, the soldier ' stooped down to take them. Francisco see- ing the , o portunity which was too good to be ! lost, seiz d the sword, and, drawing; it: with ;• force fro under the arm of the soldier, 'dealt I him a sev!ere blow across the skull: Although severely 'wounded, yet being a brave than, the c i ragoon' rew a pistol and aimed it at hiS an . . I tagouist, ho was too quick for him, however; , and as h pulled th&tri , rger, a-blow from the ' sword rie, rly severed his wrist, and placed him hor3kle combat. The report of the pistol I drew the itlier dragoons into the yard, as well ' as W, , who very • ungenerously ;brought omita , Muiiket Which he 'handed to one of the 1 soldiers. dud told him to make use of! it,' Mounting the only horse they could get, he presente the muzzle at . the breast Of' Fran cisco, an pulled the trigger.. Fortuhately iti missed-Ir 3 e, and Frtncisco closed in upon I him. A hort struggled ensued, whielt ended in his disarming and wounded the seldier.- 1 TUrleton' troop of four hundred men were now in sight, and the other dragoons •tiere about to 'attack him. Seeing. hiS dazie'was 1 desperatd, he turned toward an adjoining n i thicket, aid, as if cheering ona party of men, cried out "Come on, my brave boys! now's I "your ti e; we will soon dispatch these few, "and' thei attack the main body!" at the same 1 time ruling at the dragoons with the fury of' an enrag d tiger., --'• , t • . 1 They did not wait to engage ,him, ',but fled pre& to the troop, panic-struck and distil seizing upon the • traitorous vil- ' lain ' Francisco was about to dispatch I him ; begged and plead so hard for his life; ' forgave him and told him to se- crete n the eight horses which the 1 soldiers had left behind them: ;Perceiving; c i that Tarl .ton had dispatched two other dra-1 mons in •earch of him, he made off into- the I adjoinin, wood, and, while they snipped at the hour , he, like an old fox, (lobbied upon' their rear and successfully evaded, their vigi- I lance. he next day he went to W for: his horsel ~ who demanded two or them fort Services und generous intentions. Finding his situi4ion dangerous, and surrounded. by enemies *here he should have found friends, Francisc4 was compelled to make the best of it, and left with, six horses—intending to i,re venge hi self upon W— at a future time; . "but,'' as e said, "Providence ordained that I "should: of be his executioner; for be broke I "his nec • by a fall from one of the very "horses."' Many other anecdotes are told c4' Francisco ' 'i illustrative of his immense strength and per,, I.),ri, Bona} process. t Camden, where Gates was defeated, he ret eatell, and ' after running along th road BO e distance he sat down to rest hiniself.

Overtaking.his commanding officer, Cblonel . 1 ayo of Powhattan, he-gave him up the animal; for which act of generosity the Colonel afterward presented him with a thou sandtit ac Sof land in Kentucky. . I i ' • The f Bowing. anecdote exemplifying his peaceful nature and his strength " is dlsb told of Fran isco. How true it is we . caianOt . say, but we II it as it was told to us many' years ago, whi. e.he was still living in Bnekingham County: • • , : 1 , One d y while working in his gartl,en.,he was accosted by a stranger who rode up to the fence and inquired if he knew; where "a 'man by . thaname . of of: Francisco lived' 1 . - 3- Raising himself up from his work,: and eye ing his interrogator, who appeared tO .be one of the thalf-horse,, half-alligator" breedt of •- 111 Kentuck ani, he replied "Well,. at+a,dger, I don't kn w of any other person by thaf,.-dame in these . its but myself." "Well reckon you ain't the man r, want. I want t find the great, fighting: matt. I've heerd to 1, so much about. The feller they say can whip, all creation. and Kaintnek to boot." "I can t tell you, stranger, where y find that marl ; I don't know such a mate' said Franciaresuming his work. as 0. hint to the other that the conference was eude4 ; but the Kentuckian was not to be bluffed ] off, as Ile would tarns it. ` 4 1 . ...q0k irtrangm.," orauses MOSELLE. , . said he—retnrning td the charge, Nrhat might , your name be ?" , . : ! , "My name is Feick Francisco, at your ser vice.", . ' • , , - : l". returned the other, "you're just the man I want to find".4:-at the same time, riding -inside the fence, he diiittiounted and tied the animal--a rough, migaitily Indian pOny—to ,one of the posts. "My mime is Big Bill Stokes, all the way front' Old - Kentnek. I am-the KentuckY game chieken, I -stn. I can Outriin, 'ostliOn, oat jump, knock down, drag: out, - and any man In all them diggings, So, as I heard tell of a feller down hereabouts who 'could whip all 'creation, I, thought I'd saddle Old Blossom, and just' ride over and "see-_ what stuff he's made of, and here I am. And now, stranger, Fm most starved for a fight, and rm.. bound to see who'ii the best man before I go home. It's all in good feeling, you know; and if you lick me, why; I'm satisfied. But---" "Stop a'mintite, stringer," Said Francisco; "you've mistaken the Man e,ntirely ;irin no fighting. man at all; and ;: if l'was, I've .noth ing against you to fight about." • "Well, I don't' know; : is there any other . Peter Francisco in these:parts?" "No--not that I know.: of." "Well then, you'ye the man, andou mistfight. I've come all the', way-from Old Ken tuck, and faint a-goingi back ,without know - - ing which is the best man." ' "But I won't fight., I've got nothing to fight about, and I tell Ton I won't fight.' "Darn'd if you sha'n't fight, stranger—l'm bound to lick .you if' I !can ; if I don't you *must lick tries" . • i• - By this time'Francisco had become angry sit the importunity his visitor, and deter mined to put an end to the scene. Seizing hiS antagonist, therefore, by the seat of his buckskin breeches and the collar of his hunt ing -shirt, he threw him over the fence, into the road; then - walking leisurely to where his pony was tied, lie unfastened him, and taking him up by main strength, threw him after his discomfited rider. ale Kentuckian' raised hiMself fibre the ground,- perfectly numfoinided by sucli an ex hibition of strength ; ; and, after rubbin. , his eyes as though thOught he might thehave seen clearly, he mpuio, - 1 the pony—remark • ing, "Well, stranger; I reckon you'll! do.. I reckon it's about time for me to.make! tracks. `lf anybody asks you:about that greilt ,fight, you can tell 'em ,youilicked Bill Stokes must confotindedlv." FranciSeo was a 'powerfully built man— standing. six feet , and one inch in height— Weighing 200 pounds, His museulatqsystein was extraordinarily ;developed, and - he had been kilown to shoulder, with ease a ;cannon weighing 1,100 pounds ; und a gentlMnan of undoubted veracity Still living , in Virginia, who knew him well, says, "He could take me in his right hand and pass over theroOm with me—playing my head against the 'ceiling as .thougla had been a doll-baby. My ; weight was 195" pounds." 1-lis wife, who wad a wo "man of good size and fair 'proportions, he would take in his right hand, and, holding her out at: arm's length, would pass around the room' with her, rand Carry her up and down stairs in this positiori.: He would take a bar rel of eider by the chimes, and, holding it to his mouth, would drink from the bung a long and hearty draught without any apparent ex ertion. • ' Yet with all his strength he was a very, peacefully disposed man, and never made use of, his power except in case of necessity about his usual vocations or defense of the On occasions of outbreaks at public gather- , ings he was better at rushing in and preserv ing the public peace than all the conservative authorities on the ground. Arthoughrunedu cated he was a manof Strong natural sense and of a kind. amiable disposition. 11e was withal a companionable; man, and hiS anec dotes and stories of war, of which helposses sed a rich fund, rendered hint .a Welcome guest in the first families of the State. His industrionS and temperate habits, together with his' kind disposition, made - hint many friends ; and through their; influence he was appointd Sergeant-at-Arms of the Yirginia House of Pelegates, in Which service he died in 1836. He was buried with-military honors in the public. biirying-ground at Richmond: papacy. - COEMENT LIFE For the. purpoSe of disclosing somd of the minulicr of Convent hiages, we havd deter. mined to publish extracts froni the new work recently issued by Do Witt A-, Davenport, the publishers, of New work, entitled "The Es caped Nun: or Disclosuies 'of Convedt Life; and . the Confessions of a Sister of Charity.' In Chapter IV. we find the following account of the cruel treatment of the fair authoress, at the Convent of Sf. —, where> she was kept a prisoner for a long time: They, found in • my bosom a ininiatnre pic ture of my old Superior;;they seized it; I en treated permission to kiss it once more, but .the favor was refused. They threw me an under. garment, they !took off my stdckings, eovered.ine with a sack, and led me, With my head and feet nneovered l along the passages: I•wept,4 called for help; but, they had sound ed the bell to•give warning that nobody should uppear,-4 invoked (leaven; I sunk to the earth, and they dragged me along. When-I had reached the bottdm of the stairs, )my feet were bloody, my limbi were bruised; My situ ation would have softened hearts oNlint.— With large keys, the Superior opened the doors of a gloomy subterraneous cell, where they threw me upon a mat half rotted by thb damp. I .found there a ,slice; of black bread and a basin of gruel, with Some coarse ndeessary utensils. • The mat, when' rolled up, *mod a .pillow. Upon a stone lay a skull and black wooden crucifix. My: first impulse was to put a period to my existence: I applied my hands to my throat, I tore my clothes with rtiv teeth, and uttered hideous cries._ I dashed :fly head against the walls, and endeavOred ..to take, away my life till mY strength failed, which( very soon happened: In this ?lade I re-^ mained three days; I imagined mys'elf con demned to it for life. Every morning one of my executioners visited ine and said; "Obey your Superior, and yon shall be liberated from this place." • "1 have done nothing. I know not. what'l ~am required to perform. Ah 1 Sister Saint Mary, there is a Deity in Heaven." The third day, shout nine o'clock at night, the door was opened by the same nuns who bad conducted me to the dangeon. ;After a panegytic upon the goodness of the, Superior, they announced to me her forgiveness and that they ivere go .,ing to set me at liberty. "It is too said T, 44 1 eave me. here; I )vish to die." . geverthe less they raised me up . and dragged ma away ; they led me back to a cell, where I found the Superior. The Coffin scene, as described in Chap. V., is one of the many startling incident. 4, record, ed in this book of thrilling disclosures. We give it below'by permission of the publishers: The fourth day thiire , occurred a piece of mummery which striligly marked, the capri cious character of the Superior. At :thecon clusion of the serviceithey made me lie down in a coffin, which was set in the middle of the choir. She set candlesticks by my aide, with a pot of holy water; they covered me with a napkin and recited the service of the dead; after which every nun in passing threw some holy water upon me, leaping, at the same time, "tlequiescat sn pace.;. ; It is necessary to un derstand the language Of the convent, in or der fullY to comprehend the sort of inenance contained in these lut, words. TWO of the . nuns took of the narikin, put out the! .candles' and left me drenched : to' the skin with tho,wa ter which they had rtittliCiously sprinkled upon me. Myclothes dried upon me, as I had not any 'others to changcthem. This mortifica tion was followed branother.• The icommu nity was assembled; , t,hey consideredime as a reprobate.

If they had anything to receive from me, I put it upon the ground, and they toOk • hold of it with a cloth; , if they had anythiv to give me, they threw it at me. If they were tinfortu nate enough to touch me, they believed them selves polluted, and they went to:eonfess, and to get absolution from the Superior. ,It has been said that flattery is mean add contempti. ble; it is also extremely , cruel and verringe nious when it proposes to please by the mot.- tiflcation which it invents. ,I .was deprived of all employment .as 'unworthy. .tlit,church they left's pew empty on each side of that which I occupied.

After' ome inonths the student one night slept out of College,- and before going away enlarged a little the opening of.the, drawer of the bureau. The snake contrived to get out, and after 'probably playing about the roomtill he wini tired, coiled himself into one of his.master's hoots:to take a nap: About daylight a colgred Servant, who was accustomed to wait upon the stu dent, ,make fires, clean floes, &c:', but who had never happened to see :or ihear: of the snake, came in to the to his usual! duties. Atter making the fire and clearing up the room he proceeded to clean the stUdent!s boots. Flourishing his brush in one hand he unsus pectingly thrust the other into the boot which . contained the. Sleeping snake. The startled reptile sprang out and . coiled itself about The consternation and horror of the ebony gentleman may, be imagined. Recovering from his fright, he dislodged the snake which was affectionately trying tb nestle in bo sum, and seizing the ..poker killed, it. Not .conteht with this, he "thre,itened to bring an action - at-lain a"aiust the istudent for Insulting and outraging him. He took the notion into his head that the occurrence was contrived by the:student, and that the color of the snake was a significant and disrespectful allusion to his own hue.
