They had near lysuceeded in gettiig fie king b'yond'the frontiers, when a reseue took place; but-Pulaski making his cape. After. remaining some time.Jo France, he came over to this country .as a volunteer, and entered our service. I said previously that it was on the night of the 7th of September, 1777, that our army rested on the right of Red Ciay. Creek. On the night of the 8th Wash ington perceivirig rtin rmovement that ove was eaviring to turn his right flank, altered his position; and cross. -ed the Brandywine-at hdd's ford-thus' placing the rger and creek between hirn and his enemy. The armies we're divided from each other by a distance of some six to eight miles, with the Brandywine creek be. tween them. A division commanded by General Maxwell remained on the other side of the creek to dispute the passage of 'thioenemy. - On the evening' of the 10th, General Greene gavemne a communication to par ry to Cotut Pulashi, who was on the right of the division. I had never seen this foreign officer, but had much curiosity to do so, having hoard so much respecting him. It was about nine in the evening when I started with a srnall escort for the quar.. tersof' Pulaski. His rank was nominally that of a colonel, although he did not at thar tie etnoy a full command, His iureswere at a far mer' a esidence, to. wprds teupper fords of the Brandywine. A half hour's brisk ride brought us to the spot, and dismounting, I knocked ivith nmy sabro's hilt against the dCOor, havlg (i.r!g given the sentinel the countersig~n, i was ushered Irn by-'a handsoane rosy-oheeked girl, on inqui ring for Count Pulaski.
