endered he rode horseback to Texas, hoping to find a Confederate force still holding out, thence proceeded to Mexico, and from there sailed to Canada. Subsequently returning to Virginia he resumed his law practice for a time, but in his later years lived mostly at New Orleans. He died at Lynchburg, Va., March 2, 1894. Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee, was born at Charleston, S. C., September 22, 1833, of patriotic lineage. His great-grandfather, William Lee, was one of forty leading citizens of Charleston whose devotion to the Continental cause was punished by imprisonment on a prison ship and transportation to St Augustine, Fla. His grandfather, Thomas Lee, was appointed United States district judge by President Monroe. General Lee was appointed to the West Point military academy in 1850, and was graduated in 1854, in the class with J. E. B. Stuart, O. O. Howard, Custis Lee, Pender and Pegram.

of a few slave-owners in my parish in Virginia, who were born and bred in slavery, and who for elevation of character, education and surpassing intellect cannot be matched by the whole State of Massachusetts. The plantation adjoining mine on the north is Wakefield, where George Washington was born. Next to me on the south is Stratford, where Richard Henry Lee and Light Horse Harry Lee were born. Next to Stratford comes Chantilly, where Arthur Lee, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Charles Lee and William Lee were born. If the gentleman will ride with me six miles I'll take him to Monroe's Creek, where President Monroe was born; if he will ride with me half an hour longer I will take him to Port Conway, where President Madison was born; if he will then stand with me in my portico I will show him, over the tree-tops, the chimney-stacks of the baronial mansion where Robert E. Lee first saw the light. Can Massachusetts match those men? There is no wonder, then, that this old town, seated at

offered them an asylum in the Baltic at Dantzic. He attempted, though in vain, to dissuade the prince of Anspach from furnishing troops to England; and he forbade the subsidiary troops both from Anspach and Hesse to pass through his dominions. The prohibition, which was made as publicly as possible, and just as the news arrived of the surrender of Burgoyne, resounded throughout Europe; and he announced to the Americans that it was given to testify his goodwill for them.

te old age, broken as he was in everything but spirit, he joined with Saxony to stay the aggressions of Austria on Bavarian territory. At this moment, wrote he to his envoys, the affairs of England with her colonies disappear from my eyes. To William Lee, who in March, 1778, im- 1778. portuned his minister Schulenburg for leave to reside at Berlin as an American functionary, he minuted this answer: We are so occupied with Germany that we cannot think of the Americans: we should be heartily glad to recognise them; but at this present moment it could do them no good, and to us Chap.

Their effect was only to make Frederic more reserved. From his camp he always put them aside, yet with gentleness and caution.

resent be agreeable. Meantime, one Jan de Neufville, an Amsterdam merchant, who wished his house recommended to good American merchants, and who had promised more about an American loan than he could make good, had come in some way to know William Lee, Chap. XII.} 1778. an alderman of London as well as an American commissioner to Vienna and Berlin, and with the leave of the burgomasters of Amsterdam met him at Aixla-Chapelle, and concerted terms for a commercial convention, proper in due time to be entered into between the two republics. When Lee communicated to the commissioners at Paris this project of a convention, they reminded him that the authority for treating with their High Mightinesses belonged exclusively to themselves, and they looked upon his act as a nullity. The American congress likewise took no notice of his intermeddling, and in the following June dismissed him from its service. Amsterdam disclaimed the absurd design of concluding a convention independent of

to the House of Orange. Yet the ministry, who were all the time seeking an alliance with Russia, disliked the appearance of going to war with the republic solely for her intention of Oct. joining the armed neutrality. In October, Henry Laurens, whom the United States had accredited to the Netherlands for the purpose of raising a loan, was taken on his passage to Europe, and among his papers was found the unauthorized project for a treaty, concerted as we have seen between Neufville and William Lee. To Lord Stormont the transaction appeared to be the act of individuals, Stormont to Keith, 3 Nov., 1780. and the Earl of Hillsborough owned that the states-general had had no knowledge of the treaty, which had never been signed except by private persons.

Sundry witnesses testified as to having seen him in the western part of Virginia in 1859 and 1860, when he passed as Major or Col. Lee, a distressed Mason, &c., and solicited contributions from the charitable. W. told the Mayor that he lived on German Creek. Granger county, East Tennessee, when at home. The Mayor said he would be retained till he was ready to travel, when he wtravel, when he would be furnished with a pass and allowed to slope. W. observed to the crowd of hangers-on at the Mayor's Court, that he was a gentleman; that he had been left a fortune by Wm. Lee, of Jefferson county, Va., and he had spent it for the good of his country,--he did not say who his country was.--If W. ever did have any money, and has denuded himself of his superfluous "spondulies," without sufficient cause, he is not only a decayed gentleman, but one that will soon run to seed.
