In-a short time afterwards. Col. Isaac Havhe was executed as a traitor by the, Eng lish at Charleston. The Americans, conceiving that Lord Rawdon authori zed and directed it, indignantly cen sui ed him for that proceeding. ".These sentiment passed into our histories, and ihe late General Lee, in his Me moirs, gave them a full and vigorous ex pression. He transmitted a copv of his work t Lord Hastings, who vindicated anil cx plainetl his conduct on the occasion in an interesting letter, which was pub lished by Major II. Lee. in his "Cam paign ot 178 1 77 a cony ot Which work was also sent to Lord Hastings. That gentleman, in acknowledging the receipt of the book, has given some further in formation of much interest, which we have been politely permitte ! to lay be lor? our reatlers.

(. .: His habit might beseemed rather tpare than full, his weight never ex ceeding from two hundred and ten to twenty. v His limbs were remarkable. Hi arms were longlarge, and sinewy, and could a cast have been made from hi hand, it wouUlhive afforded n tuHv for the sculptofi, and if exhibited in the present day, would be supposed to have belonged to some hero of romance. His physiognomy was decidedly R. man--not n its type expressing the reckless ambition of the broad fronted Ctesar," ot the luxurious indulgence of the "caltTed Anthony," but rather of tne better age of Rome, the Fabius Maxtmus, Marcellus, or the Scipios. A nj, equestrian portraiture ia par ticuiarly well suited to him who rode so will; and who was much attached to to the noble annual which so oft and so gallantly had borne him in the chase, in wjir, and in the perilous service of the frontier. Ricket. the celebrated en ties- trtart, used to say, ' I delight to see the Ueneral ride, and make it a point to full in with him when I hear that he. is abroad on horseback his seat is so firm. his management so easr and Peaceful that I, who am a nrofessor of hnr manship, would go to Iu.ti and learn to ride." Bred in the vigorous school of the frontier warfare, "the earth his bed. his . canopy the heavens,' he excelled the hunter and woodsman in their athletic habits, and in those trials of manhood which distinguished the hardy days of his early life; he was amazingly swift of foot, and could climb the moun tain steep, and "not a sob confess his toll." Of the power of hit arm, we have ma ny recollections. Ihe Rappahannock river, below Fredericksburg, will afford a lasting memorial. , Of the article with which he spanned this bold and navi gable stream, there are various accounts. We are assured that it was a niece of slate, fashioned to about the size and shape of a dollar, and which, 'sent by an " arm so strong," not only spanned the river, but took the ground at least thirty yards on the other side. Num- bershave since tried this feat, but none have cleared the water. 'Tis the " Douglas cast," made in the days when VlerriniQa r n n urdrA c f am-if Ad l a - a ii r miiu a iiivii nut oiii'ii" an llTI maids are fair; when the hardy sports of the gymnasium prepared the body to answer the " trumpet call to war," and gave vigor an elevation to the mind, while our modern habits would rather fit the youth " to caper nimbly in a la dy's chamber." vv no will enter the arena, " now the great rytster's gone," take up his gage, and prove that the manhood of the decendants is worth v of the renown i of their sires.. , We fear that very ma ny will be the suitors for the athletic prowess of the departed Ulysses, ere one can be found' who will "bend his bow." Of original pictures, there are four at Arlington Hriuse. The most an cient, and the only one extant of the hero at that time of day, is the work of the elder Peale; was painted in 1772, full size and Ihree quarter length; repre sents the Provincial Colonel in the Co lonial uniform, blue, with scarlet fa cings, silver lace, and acarlet under clothes, with sash and gorget, and the hat usually called the Wolf hat, which, from its size and shape, mut have been better suited for service in a forest waff tare than would he the chapeaus ol modern times.

He was both fair and flor id. A Mr. Williams, a painter in cray ons, had sifting about 1794, made strong likeness; but we have no further knowledge of him or his works. The works of Stuart have acquired such extensive and deserved celebrity that a critique from us would be almost superfluous. Of the Great President, the head (that is the head only) of Stuart is certainly a chief d'wuvre. There are three originals by this distinguished master the head and bust, from which many copies have been taken, the full length for the Marquis of Lansdown, ami an original intended for Mrs, Washington. ' The artist has been par ticularly happy in delineating that graceful fall of the shoulders, for which tne Chief was remarkable, and which is said to constitute among the finest lines in the portraiture of manly excel lence.'. The defects of the full length are in the limbs. There is too much of roundness and finish according to the rules of art and the most approved mo dels of taste and celebrity, whereas the original was in himself a model for the arts. Stuart once observed, "mv impres sions of his superior size considerably abated, on trying on his coat, and find ing that the span ol his body was not greater than was to be found in some other men." True. Wt repeat, that his remarkable conformation, was ex clusively In the limbs, and the great ar tist, and truly pleasant gentleman, might have continued his trials and worn nut the coat in frying ere he would have fountl a man whose arms should hate filled the sleeves, or who possessed that breadth ol wrists and those hands which, in the Chief, alir ist "exceeded nature's law." We are thus minute in describing the portraltnre of Washington, because pos terity always inquires, " How looked the Great of the olden time?" Should these " Recollections" meet the eye of futurity, we can only say that our por trait, tho' humbly, is faithfully drawn. Ceracci, the celebrated sculptor, and enthusiast for liberty, came to this coun try about '93 or '94, and executed two busts, in marble, of the President, aud of Hamilton, the last said to be the best. Ceracci was a singularly looking man, very short, full of action, brilliant eyes, emitting the sparks of genius, and wore two watches. He afterwards perished at Paris, as author ol the lnferua) Ma chine. ' ,i i ' ' In '95, both the elder and ydu'nger Peale had sittings. It was the fortune of the venerable Charles Wilson Peale to have painted the provincial Colonel of his Britannic Majesty's service, in 1772, and the same individual, as Chief Magistrate of a great empire, in 1795. The Revolutionary recollections of the Peale family embrace James Peale, who was one ot that gallant band ol fhila delphians who joined the wreck of the grand army in '76, and was engaged ia the battles of Trenton and Princeton. The collection of Portraits, made by the patriotic founder of the first Ame rican Museum, are of inestimable value to Our posterity, being the only like nesses extant of some of the most dis tinguished worthies of the Duys of Trial. This collection, and the Muse um entire, should be government pro perty, and attached to a National Uni versity. - Mr. Rembrandt Peale, with a lauda ble desire to give a genuine portrait of the Father of his Country, has devoted much time and talent to his Washing ton. His fine performance has receiv ed commendation from such high au thorities that we deem it unnecessary to add any thing to our certificate, which will De found in the publications on that subject. The equestrian pic ture, by Rembrandt Peale, is a spirited work, and entitled to praise, as well fop its able delineation ol the person of Hero, as fur the other7 character wl urn Introduced, narticularlv Hami r w i r iir,'- M I,
