h'e added [thigh chivalric feeling, prompting
a man, in perilous elides, to deeds of person
al heroism, it adds tenfold to . his power.
This Washington posy sad to a remarkable
'degree. It is. a little singular tiler a great
and daring.aetperformed by some emperor
'or marshal of Europe becomes a theme of
universal admiration ; while the same thing
done by IVashington scarcely excites a re
mark. One cannot .mention an example of
heroism that 'does aet find its parallel in him.
Aluritt,ein a paroxysm, of passion, &mid spur
all alone into the fire of a Russian battery: -
Washington .did the same thing at Kipps
Bay to shame his men into courage. The
world gazes with ahle eli
. Napoledn rushing
over •the bridge of. Arcola and planting-Lis
standard amid the Storm afire that swept it:
=Washington - spurred up to thetinizzles bf

-(lie bailie , on the Toe, presents a noble specs-
Jaele; but Waslagtun doing the same thing
at Alonmouth, under the binning sun of one
of the hottest (lays ever witnessed in this
country,. is a nobler one.
But with ail Idgfervor and intensity of feel
ing, there perhaps never - was a man more
upright, straightforward, and just:
A Brutus in justice; he did not allii* per:
sone] friendship to sway his decision, or.m
fluenee him in the bestowment •of favors,
Fearing neither the carnage of battle nor the
hatred of men, threats meVedrim no more
thrm flatteries; and ..w hails - stranger_ still.; the
strong aversion to giving pain to his friends
never swer ed him from the path of (Inty.-.--
Sincere in all his declarations. his mord was
weer doubted and his promict neve , broken. In- -
trusted finally with almost' supreme power,
he nevei abused it. and laid it down at last
more cheerfully than lie had taken it up.
Bonaparte vaulting to supreme command,
seized it with avidity. and wielded it with:
out restraint. The Prnectory obstructing his
plans, he broke it' up with the bayonet.—
Cromwell-did the same with. the-hump Pat
'lenient, and installed himself protector' of
England, and even hesitated long about tTie
title of king.• Washington fettered worse
than both, submitted to ,disgrace and defeat
withetn using a disrespectful word to Can
gross, and rejected the altered crown With
a sternness. that forever critstied the hopes of
thtlse who presented it. Cater and strong in
council,uptiting in effort, wise in policy,. ter- 1
rible as a storm in battle, utitionmiered in de
feat, and incorruptible in virtue, lie rises iii
metal grandeur so far above the Alexander.,
and CthsarS, and Napeleous, of the world,
that even comparison seetris injustice. .

upon them to fall m. In an instant niter
there came a cracking lirti•ol musketry on
0.11 right, and for the fitst thee we heard halls
whistle. Pan of %Veldt's Brigade had fallen
in with a large body of Mexicans from the
city, and oar iegirnent -Was in the direct line

again before tovoille.
At about sunrise t ithe same morning, we

With opened from um ehapparell upon the left
