Ananecdote I deriviN from Colonel Lear shortly before his death in 1416, may bore he relAted, Showing the height to which Washington's passion would rise, yet be controlled. It belongs to his domestie life which I am dealing with, having occurred oinder his own roof, whilst it marks public feeling the most intense, and points to the moral of his life. I giv'e it in Colonel Lear's words as near as I can, having made a note of them at the time : Towards the close of a lvinter's day in 1791, an officer in uniform was seen dismount in front of the President's, in Philadelphia: and, giving time bridle to his servant, knocked at the door of his mansion. Learning from • the pbrter that the President \Orb at dinner, he said ho was on puhlie bu-hiess and had dispatches for the President. A servant ,ii was sent i to the dining-room to give the inform: tion to 3ir. Loar, who left the table a went into the hall where the officer epeated what he hail said. Mr. Lear replied that, as the President's Secretary, he would take charge of the dispatches, and deliver them at the proper time. The offices made answer that he had just arrived from the west ern army, and his orders were to deliver theni with all pxopptitude, and to the President in person; hut that he would wait his directions. Mr. Lear •return ed, and in a whisper imparted to the President what had passed. General Washington rose from the table, and went to the officer. T T ....e was back i n a short time, made a word of apology for his absence, but no allusion to the cause of IL Ile had company that day.— Everything went on as usnal. Dinner over, the gentlemen passed to the draw ing-room of Mrs. Washington, which was open in the evening. The General spoke courtiamsly to every lady in the room, as was his custom. Ills hours were early, and by ten o'eloek all the com pany had gone. ?firs. Washington add Mr. Mr. Lear remained. Soon Mrs. Wash ington left the room. l'hl General now walked backward and forward for some minutes Without speaking. Then he sat down on a sofa by the fire, telling Mr. Lear to sit down. lio this moment thve had been no change in his manner since his interrup tion at the table,. Mr. Lear now per ceived emotion. This rising in him, he broke out suddenly, "It's all over—St. Clair's defeated—routed •, the officers neorly all killed, the men by wholesale ; the rout. complete—too shocking. to think of—and asurprise in thabargain!" Ile uttered all this with great vehem ence. Then he paused, got up from the sofa and walked about the room leverul times, agitated, but saying nothing.— 'l•tettril le door he stoppod short and stood still a few seconds ; when his wr,ith be came terrible. ho barst forth; u s ITERE on this very spot, I took leave of him ; I wished him success and honor; you have your instructions, I said, froni the Secretary of War, I had a strict eye to them, and will add bnt one word—TO:WADS. OF A SURPRISE. I repeat it, RIMARE OF A SUIZPRISE—vu know how the In drawl tight us. ITe went off with that as Inv lasticolemn warning, thrown into his ears. And yet !! to suffer that army to be cut to pieces, Masked by a surprise —the very thing I guarded him against ! Oh, - God, oh, God, he's worse than a murderer !Bow can he answer 14„La his country ;—the lilood of the slaiiii upon him—the canitti c 'of widows and orphans —the eorse of Heaven !" This torrent came wit in tones appall ing. his very frame shook. It was awful, said Mr. Lear. More than once he throw his hands up as he hurled im precations upon St.. Clair. Mr. Lear remained speechless; awed into bryath /e4s silunce. s The roused' ell icf sat down on the sofa once more. lie seemed cunscious , of his passion and uncomfortable. Ile was silent. Ilis wrath began to subdue, he at length said altered voice "This must not go beyond this room." Anoth er pause followed—a longer one—whea he said in along quite low, "General St. Clair bhall have justice i-I . loolted hastily through the dispatches, saw the whole disaster, but not' all the particulars; I will receive him without displeasure; I will hear him without prejudice ; be shall hail, full justice." He was now, said Mr. Lear, perfectly calm. Half an hour had gone by. The storm was over; and no sign alit was af ,terwards seen lush's conduct or beard in his conversation. The result is known. The whole case was investigated by (engross. St. Clair was exculpated and elegai ncd the owatid.cnee Washington had m him when appgintinkt him to that command.
