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.?
In a comparison of this, with other coun
tries, we have the prr r>f of primacv, which

from the President, (iewetal Wasliin:**"",
I ;. exprc>i, r..i\erim; an appointment to be
Secretary of State. I received it with rea!
: _7,rct. y u :sh had bi vn to return to Par

In ny answer of December 1 Ith, I express
ed tiii'.>e dispositions candidly to the Presi
dent, ::nd my preference of a rctt.rn'o Pat -s;
tit as.vir.d him, taa*. if it was beli'-ved i
? ?;!d Ijc more uset.?l in the administration
? i the f n..u:.t, I would sneri.'.ee my < wi>
?iciinati'?.< without l.?- ita'.ion, and repair
t.? that destination; t!..? 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

Philadelphia 1 ri.l'.cd on the venerable and
belovetl l'r.?n?.?lii. I{was then on tuc

.?n i?|-? UOAICMl'S lO KtlOW
what |?Krt tl.ey 1?^<i taken, what had bent
their course, and what their fate*. He
went over ail in sueocv?ion with a rapidity
and animation, almost too much for his
.?treng'h, Wit .n all bin ciifptirirs were s.it
itficd, anil a pause took pla?.e, I told Inin I
had learned witli much pleasure that since
his return to mericn, he had been occupi
ed in preparing for the* world, the histry of
his own lile. 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.? It wui about a quire of folio pa-,
jtf, written in :\ larj^c and running hand,'
very li!:? h' ? iv;n. I looked into it slightly !
tljtn shut i'., a:id said I would accept Ills!
permission to read it, nod \vo;i)d carefully i
return it. lie ?i?, ':io keep it.' Not cer
? *'??? f.i >..? I again, looked into it fol-'
.led >t tor my pocket, and said again I would
certainly return it 'No,' said he, 'keepit.'l j
nut it it:to my porket, and shortly after took
leave of him.?He died on the 17th of the
ensiling month of April; and as I under
?*t?H?'l that he h?.d bequeathed all his paper*
to his grnnd son, William Temple Franklin,
J immediately wrote to Mr. Franklin, to
inform him 1 powxed this paper, which I
?fheuld eon*.if!< rat his pro ??Mtv, and would
deliver t> h or ler. 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. Thl* I?t*t express
ion struck my at?< ntion foreibly, and for the
fir t thn* Miffcilftdto ifcc the thought, that
l)r. 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.'

!>f u'li to make some memoranda, and state
v;n?e recollection of dates and facts concern

I have met with the name in that country
: I h.ive found it in our early records; hut the

at the place in ('hesterlicldcalled Osborne's,
and owned the lands afterwards the glebe
<>l the parish. Ho had three soils Thomas,
who died young, Field, who settled on the
waters of the Roanoke, and left several dr

tled <>n the lands I still own, called Sliad

17M1, with Jane H-itidolph. of the age of I!),
daughter ol Isham It uidolph, one of thesr
. veil sons ol that name and familv settled at
' Dun *-mess in (fooclilaml. '('hey trace
their pedigree fir hack in Knglaud and
' Scotland, to which !-t every olio ascribe
the faith and merit ho chooses.
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. Hyrd, and was af
terwards employed with the same Mr. Fry
to in.ike the lir?l map of Virginia, which
had evt r been made, that of (.'aptain Smith
| being merely a conjectural sketch. 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. To my vi?unger brother he
left his estate on J antes llivcr, callislSnow
Iden, after the supp??sed birth-place of the
family; to myself, the lands on which I was
born and live. He placed me at tin; Eng
lish school at five yeais of age, and the
Latin at nine, where 1 continued until his
death. My teacher, Mr. Douglass, a cler- J
gyman from Scotland, with the rudiments
ot the Latin and (1 reek languages, taught '
me the French-, and on the death of my j
father, I went to the He v. Mr. Mimrv :? 1
correct classical scholar, with whom I con
tinue'.! two years; ami then, to wit. in the
S|?rr;?i? 1"??0. went to William and Ma
