COMMENCEMENT, These opportunities of information, ccas rtl at this period, with my retirement from thiyinteresting scene of action. I had been more th in a year soliciting leave to go home with a view to place my daughters in the :?ocictv ami care of their friends and to re turn lor a short time, to my station at Par is Bat the n'.'tumorphosisthroughvwhich ???nr government was then passing from it^ OSirymlid to its Organic form, suspended its action in a great degree; and it was not till the las*, ot August that I received the jerrnission I had a*kcd. And here, I can f.ot leave this great and good country, with out expressing my sense of its pre-eminence of character, among the nations of the earth A more benevolent people 1 have never known, nor greater warmth and devoted ness in their select friendship*. Their kindness and accommodation to str ingers, unparalleled, and the hospitality ofi'ari-, beyond any thing I had conceived to he ? racticahle in a large city Their eminence t?h>, in science, the communicative disposi tions of their scientific men, the politeness cfthegcncral manners, the ease and vivac ity of their conversation, give a charm t< tlieir sooitty, to be found > whi le else.?

I left to his decision. I arrived nt Munticeiia on the CT- i of De cember, wher: I retoved a second letter from the 1'resalenf, expressing his continued visit, that I .should take my station there, but leaving m? still at liberty to continue in my former office, if I could not reconrile myseif t-.? that now propo.ed. This silenced my tny rt-Juctar.ee, and 1 acccpted the new ap pointment. I:i the interval of tr.y stay at home, my ??Idest daughter had been happily married ? i the eldest snn cf t!ie Tuckahoe branch of the Randolphs, a young gentleinat of genius, science, and honorable tnind, who .fterward* fdled a d'gnfted station m the < lateral floverrimc.M, and the most digni f.eilin I.Is own Stat*. 1 left Monticcllo on 'he lit < f March, 1/tfO, for New York.

J cannot say much of that said he; but I will eivc yon n sample of what ( shall leave; and he directed his little grandson (William Bache) who was Man Ming by the bed side, to hand him n paper from the table, to which he pointed. I {"did o;and the Doctor putting it into my hands ! .ssirrdine to take it, and read it at my leisure.?

He came on iinmc* diately to New-V< t k, called <n me for it, anl I delivered it tn him. As he put it Into hut p'?clce?, he said c irelessly, lie had ei ther the original, or an ither eopy of it, J ion * recollect whit h.

Franklin had mcam it as a confidential' depositc in my hand*, and that 1 hud done | wrong In parting from it. I have not vet seen the collection lie published of Dr. j Franklin'* work*, and therefore, know not j if this is amon* them. I have been told it , is i nt. li cntained a narrative of the ne- { gotiitions tut*en Dr. Franklia and the. Hritisli Miin<.?i\, when he was endeavour- j | ing to pi event the cutest ofurms which fol i towed. The negotiation win brought about by the intervention of Loid Howe and his | sister, who, 1 believe, w?u t ailed Lady I Howe, bat I may misremembcr her title. ' Lord Howe seems to have been friendly to I America, and exceedingly anxious to pre* vent a rupture. His intimaey with Dr. Franklin, and his position with the Minis try, induccd him to undertake a mediation between them; in which his sister seemed to have been associated. They carried from one to the other, backwards and for i wards the several propositions and answers : which passed, and seconded with their own j intercessions, the importance of mutual sa J crificcs, to preserve the peace and connec i tion of the two countries. I remember that ! Lord North's answers were dry, unyicld ing, in the spirit of unconditional submiss j ion, and betrayed an absolute indifference to the occurrence of a rupture; and lie said to the mediators directly, at Ia4t, that ' n , rebellion was not to be deprccated on the | part of (>. Britain; that the confiscations j it would produce, would provide for many j t?f their friends.'?This expression was re ! ported by the mediators to Dr. Franklin, ! and indicated so cool and calculated a pur ipo^c in the ministry, as to render cornpro j mise hopeless, and the negor.iation wasdis I discontinued. If this is not among the pa | pers published, we ask, what has become I of it? 1 delivered It with my own hands, j into those ot Temple Franklin. It certain* ' tainly established views *.o atrocious in the j Hritisli government, that its suppression ! would, to them, be worth a great price. | Hut could the grandson of I)r Franklin be i in sui-h degret, an accomplice in the parri cide of the memory of his immortal grand father? The suspension for more than (twenty years, of the general publication, 1 bequeathed and confided to him, produced f??r a while, hard suspicions against him and , it, at last, all are not published, a part of those suspicions'mav remain with some, i 'I arrived in New York on the 21st of Man h, when congress w is in session.' j CONCLI SION OF TIIK MICMOIK J.riitarij 6, 1SJ1. ?

My father's education ha.l been quite ' Hi-Elected; hut being of a strong mind, pound judgement, and cagar after information, he I much and improved himself, inasmuch that he wai cho.vn with Joshua Fry, pro fessor of M.ith-mati' s in William ami Mary ( ollege, to continue th" boundary linu be tween Virginia and North Carolina, which had been begun by ('ol.

They possessed excellent materials for so milch of the country as is below flu? Illue Ridge; little being then known beyond that Hidge. He was the third or fourth ?cttler, about I the year 17:17, of tin part of the country in 1 which I live-.!m died August 17th, 1757, ? leaving my mothcra widow, who lived till I77o, with six daughters and two sons, my ?self the elder.
