it was till it lo represented, in gorgcousncss

practical purpose and end, it was the vainest
and the idlest thing imaginable. The Turlia
ment had virtually prorogued itself. There
were not thirty, if ven twenty, Members of
either House present. The Speech is an un
meaning form of words, done into sentences by
P;r RbnrrtT Vextn and read by 'the Qiiccn, as
Hamlet's Players read what was "set down"
for them, not as "tripplingly," perhaps, and
certainly with lesj effect upon the auditors.
This Royal demonstration exhibited in bold

have made the tnfunt I yesterday saw die in its

The following history of William Bancroft in
revolutionary days, may xs rend by some with
ef.t islaction, nntl is worthy to be kept in remem
brance among the noble deeds of those times.
It was related to nie somft time since by Mr.
Bancroft, n slight notice of which I hsd itt Gor
don's History oftho American Revolution.
When on a tour to the West, I met with the
subject of this treatise at Utica, New York.
The gintoftil remembrance of the soldiers of the
Revolution by our country, became the subject
of conversation. After there hr.d been an in
terchange of opinion among us, Mr. Bancroft
observed that ho had applied to Congress for a
pension, but, owing lo tiie circumstance that his
tiHinc was stricken off the roll before he had
served nine months, to nerve Gen. Washing
ton in a more hazardous relation, be could not
obtain it ; though ho thought his circumstances
and his claims for consideration were as great
as any soldier's, lie then related the following
history of his h'f,? :
I was born in Wobtirn, north of Boston. At
the age of fourteen I Was sent to Boston and
put behind the counter. I was warmly attach
ed to the Whig cause, and at the age of sixteen
was obliged to leave town. I then enlisted in
the army as a soldier for threc'ycars. Istudi
ously eh'.Jofivored to understand my duty in'riiy
relation, and thought I Was a proficient, at least
as much so os other soldiers. One day, imme
diately after Washington's arrival at Brooklyn,
I was detached by the o.'Ticoc of the day among
tiie guard. It so happened that I was placed as
a sentinel bolore the General's quarters at nine
o'ch-ck. About ten o'clock, tho General's car
riage drove up, which I tnew as a soldier, but
not as a sentinel. I hailed the driver
'Who comes there !'
He answered, Gon. Washington.'
'Who is Gen. Washington.'
He replied, 'Tho commander of ihe Ameri
can army.'
'I don't know him; advance, and gho tho
counter tiirn.'
The drirer put his head within the carriage,
and then came onil ,iv Uie counier-sijrn
'The counter-sign is risrht,' f replied; 'Gen
eral Washington enn now pass.'
The next morning the officer of the guard
came to me sod said, den. Washington has
column toW cue to notify you to appear at las
quarters precisely at nine o'clock.'
'Whft does he want of nieV
I don't know.' replied the officer.
fti obedience to this order, I vent to his
q.inrters rt the time appointed ; but my mind
was greatly harra?od to ktvrv tvhethcr 1 had
discharged my duty aright, tlo night previous.
I gave the alartn at ths'dicr, and a servant ap
peared. 'Inform Gvn. Washington,' said I, 'that the
perron he ordered to h's quarter at nine o'clock
is now at the dour.'
The servant mudo tho report, and immedi
ately came ae.d bade Hju coiiio in, end conduct
ed me to the Ge.trr il room. When I entered
he adi';e..sd uie
'Are you not the sentinel who stood ut my
lour at J o'clock. If, inghl 1'
Yi s, t-ir, f rd I i-ndeavotcdto do my duty.'
I wi.:Ii a'.l the unity understood il as you do,'
t--.id tiie General. This relieved the burden on
try mind.
The General then continued. 'Can yon keep
a see ret V
1 can try.'
'Are you willing to have your name struck
from the roll ot the army, ami engage in n se
cret erviee? al the bafard ofyoc.r life, for which
I promise you forty dollars a month !'
'I am willing U serve my cmintiy in any way
you may think best.'
'Call here precisely at seven o'clock this
evenin;-, at.J I will give yoa further iuMruc- j
tain.'
1 then retired ; and, precisely at seven o'clock
I returned. The General presented mo w.th :
a sealed letter without any superscription. lie
ttstcd me if 1 had ever been on Robury height.
I tuld him I had , and.ul his rcqucet, I det-crih- j
ed thd level ground on the top. He gave me
the countersign, lest I tlueald not bo able t re- j
turn before the sentinels received it ; and charg
ed me imi tho way t; converse with no one, and
endeavor not to pass uny person, il possible ;
und if I .-lii.uiil observe any per-jon who appettr
ed to nutiv'b me particularly, not to goon the
height until out of his tight. And when I.i.
cended tho height I must li.k around careful
ly ; and if I discovered any person, I inu-t

Having received my instructions, I made my
way for the height ; and nothing occurred
worthy of note, except I found the rock and the
stone as described, and in the hollow a letter
sealed, without any superscription. I then ad
justed the rock, and placed tho stone as 1 found
it. I returned to the Genoral's quarters, and
delivered the letter I found under the rock.
The General broke the seal and read it to him
telf. He then said :
'You may retire, and appear at 7 o'clock to
morrow evening.'
This I did for some time, tarrying and bring
ing letters, without being annoyed in any re
spect. At length I observed a person at some
distance travelling the same way I was going
and ho eyed me with more attention than was
pleasing to mc. I took rather a circuitous
route, and when I came on the height, I was
confident I saw two persons, if not more, de
scend the hill on the opposite aide among the
savins. I went even to the savins to make the
discovery, but couTd aee pntic. This f told the
General on my return. "
lie upbraided me for my presumption. lie
said, 'they might have sprung on you and tak
en you. Never do the like again.'
When I returned the next evening, he gave
me stricter charge than before. There was no
thing occurred till I ascended th height; I
then plainly saw three persons dodge behind
sa vins. 1 hesitated what to do. I placed my
head to the ground, to obtain a clearer view of
the opposite side. In an instant three men
rushed from behind the savins on the other side
t"n full run to take me. I rose and ran with all
my speed. No Grecian in their celebrated
fjmnea rxertrd himself more than 1 did. I
found one of the thrpp was near a match for me.
Vv'hen I enme to tho sentinel, he was not more
than six rods from mo. 1 gave the countersign
without much ceremony. The sentinel then
hailed my pursuer who turned on his heels and
fled. I went to the General's quarters, and, on
presenting his letter, stid :
'IL'rc is the letter yon ijiive me end then
related lhcaboii story t.i im,,
lie said I might retire, and tierd not cull on
him ajaintill heslwuhl give me notice. He
strictly charged me, when in company, or in
camp, to make myeelf a s'rranger to the move
ment of friends or loes ; never enter into any
dispute about the war or the army, but always
to be an inquirer.
Ia uhout a week the General sent for me;
and I repaired for his quarters at the usual hour.
He inquired if I was ever down on what was
then called Cambridge Neck. I told him I had
been there twice. Ho then handed rrc a let
ter as usual, and said :
'Go to the lower houec and enter tho front
door ; and when you enter the room, if tlierc be
more than one person present, 6it down, and
make yourself a ttranger. When all have gone
out of the reom but one, then get up and walk
acr-iM tiie room repeatedly. After you have
passed and re-passed he will lake a letter out of
his pocket and present it to you. I charge you
not to speak a word to him, on the peril of your
life. It is important you observe this."
I went to the house ; and, on entering the
room, 1 found but one man in it; ami lie was
at the corner of the room. He rose at my en
tering. I immediately commenced my travel
across the room, and eyeing him attentively
The third timo I pissed, he put his hand into
his pocket, took a letter out, and extended it to
ward me; and I took my letter, and extended
it toward him. With his other had he took
hold of my letter, and I did the time with bis
I then re'ired, wilh a bow, anJ returned to the
General. We two could well recognize each
other, though we were not allowed to speak.
Thisi mode cf communication continued for
seme time.
One evening, as this man was presenting
his Inter, he whispers tome
"Tell General Washington the British are
coming oji tho Neck to-morrow morning at
two o'clock."
When I delivered the letter to Gen. Wash
ington, I addressed him thus :
'General the person who delivered this tat
ter to me, whispered and said, "Tell General
Wahsington the British are coming on the
Nec k to-morrow morning at two o'clock."
The General started, and inquired

Massacre of the Nrstorlan Christiana by th
'lurks.
The Nestorian Christians, who for centuries
have maintained their independence among th
mountain fastnesses of the East, dwelling in
native simplicity, have fallen victims to th fe
rocity of the Turks, and the machinations, it
is asserted ot other sectarian influences, and
been barbarously massacred. A correspondent
of the London Morning Chronicle (writing front
Constantinople under date of 13th Au. ust) says
they have been sacrificed to the religious
quarrels of American Independents, English
Puseyites, and French Roman Catholics.
The first western traveller who succeeded in
penetrating into tho fastnesses of these people
was Dr. Grant, an American missionary. Ilisob
ject in visiting them was the establishment ui
schools and other means of instruction. Thi
Americans established themselves firt in the
mountains, and their efforts were successfully
directed to the improvement of the inhabitants,
without any ulterior political design. But tho
jealousy of the other two influences, sustained
as one was by French politicians, and the other
by the British local Authority ; was excited,
and they endeavored to have tho Americana e-
jected. A roport began to prevail that the A-
mccicans were assisting the Nstorians to buill
forts in their mountains. The ignnrant inhab
itants of the surrounding country, and their Go
vernor, the Pacha of Mosul, readily believed
the assertion. For some time access to thai
mountains, from the west, was denied to the A
merican missionaries. A combination betweon
the Pacha of Mosul and several powerful Kur
dish chic's for the examination of the Nestorian
Christiana, or Chaldeans, was entered into, an'I
an attack on the United Troopa was mediated.
