es, in which the Americans had been involved only from their dependence on England, were effaced for ever; all Frenchmen became their friends, and the king of France was proclaimed the protector of the rights of mankind. In Washington's camp Lafayette smiled as he read, that his government dated the independence of America from the moment of its own declaration, and said prophetically: Therein lies a principle of national sovereignty which one day will be recalled to them at home. On the sixth the alliance was 6. celebrated at Valley Forge. After a salute of thirteen cannon and a running fire of all the musketry, the army, drawn up in two lines, shouted: Long Chap. IV.} 1778. May 8. live the king of France! and again: Long live the friendly European powers! and the ceremonies were closed by a huzza for the American states. In an address to the inhabitants of the United States, congress assumed that independence was secured, and they proclaimed the existence of a new people,

ept out scouts on every side, scorning surprise; and on the second of October one of them brought him news 2. that rejoiced his heart, that one-half of the whole population beyond the mountains were drawing near. Following a path between King's Mountain and the main ridge of the Alleghanies, the western army, so they called themselves, under Campbell, already more than thirteen hundred strong, marched Chap. XVI.} 1780. Oct. 6. to the Cowpens on Broad river, where, on the evening of the sixth, they were joined by Williams with four hundred men. From Williams they learned nearly where Ferguson's party was encamped; and a council of the principal officers decided to go that very night to strike them by surprise. For this end they picked out nine hundred of their best horsemen; at eight o'clock on that same evening they began their march. Riding all night, with the moon two days past its first quarter, on the afternoon of the seventh they were at the foot of King's Mountain. 7.

l motives of Great Britain under a cloud of obloquy relating to Amsterdam, and by demands impossible to be complied with. The memorial was not to be presented if the ambassador had certain information that the majority of the provinces would refuse to join the maritime league of the North. We do not wish, wrote Stormont, to give a deep wound to our old and natural allies. Our object is to cure their madness by stunning them into their senses. Stormont to Yorke, 4 Nov., 1780. On the sixth, Yorke represented to the stadholder the opportunity of the republic for repentance and amendment. The prince, shrugging his shoulders, answered: I foresee consequences which may be fatal to my house and the republic. Yorke replied that the stadholder might do a secondary and passive kind of service by starting difficulties and delays to hamper the conclusion of the fresh instructions to the ministers at Petersburg. The stadholder answered: England cannot impute a wish for war to those wh

th Carolina. Dismissing those of the militia whose time was about to expire, he retained nearly eighteen hundred men, with small chances of re-enforcements or of sufficient subsistence. He knew the hazards which he was incurring; but, in case of untoward accidents, he believed that Washington and his other friends would do justice to his name. The possession of the interior of South Carolina depended on the posts at Camden and Ninety-Six in that state, and at Augusta in Georgia. On the sixth April 6. of April, Greene detached a force under Lee, which joined Marion, and threatened the connections between Camden and Charleston; Sumpter, with three small regiments of regular troops of the state, had in charge to hold the country between Camden and Ninety-Six, and Pickens with the western militia to intercept supplies on their way to Ninety-Six and Augusta. Ramsay, II. 227; differing a little from Johnson, II. 68, and Marshall, II. 4. After these preparations, Greene on the

His perceptions were quick and his vigilance never failed, and in his methods of gaining information of the movements of the enemy he excelled all officers in the war except Washington and Morgan. All accounts bear testimony to his prudence, and that he never once committed himself during a very difficult campaign. Tarleton, 355. The one act of rashness to which Tarleton refers was not the act of Lafayette. Of his selfpossession in danger he was now called upon to give proof. On the sixth, Lafayette judged correctly that the 6. great body of the British army was still on the north side of the James river; but Wayne, without his knowledge, detached a party under Colonel Galvan to carry off a field-piece of the enemy which was said to lie exposed. The information proved false. Chap. XXV.} 1781. July 6. The party with Galvan found themselves suddenly in front of the advancing British line; and they retreated in column till they met Wayne with the Pennsylvania brigade. It su

To conciliate that power, Jay was invited to Versailles, where, on the fourth of Sep- Sept. 4. tember, Rayneval sought to persuade him to resign for his country all pretensions to the eastern valley of the Mississippi, and with it the right to the navigation of that stream. Jay was inflexible. On the sixth, Rayneval sent him a paper containing a long 6. argument against the pretensions of America to touch the Mississippi, or the great lakes; and on the next morning, after an interview with the Spanish ambas- 7. sador, he set off for England, to establish a good understanding with Shelburne. On the ninth, the departure of Rayneval came to 9. the knowledge of Jay. On the tenth, a translation 10. of an intercepted despatch from Marbois, the French secretary of legation at Philadelphia, ag
