Events, however, immediately occured
which would have deterred from the un
dertaking, a person less decided than
the Marquis. News arrived in France
that ihe remnant of the American army,
reduced to two thousand men had fled
towards Philadelphia, through the Jer
seys, before Thirty thousand British
troops. This nevs so effectually ex-unguishr-d
the Utile creait which Amer
ica had in Europe, that their Commiss
ioners would not procure a vessel M
forward this nobleman's project. Un
der these circumsiances, they thought
it but honest to discourage his prosecu
ting (Vie enierp rise, till a change of af
fairs should render it less hazardous or
more promising. In vain, however,
did ihey act so candid a part. The
flame, which the American sons of lib
erty had kinJlen in his breast, could
not be smothered by tneir misfortunes.
"Hitherto." said he, in an interview
with Dr. Franklin, in the true spirit of
heroism, "I have nly cherished your
cause; now I am going to serve it. The
lower it is in the opinion ofthe people,
the g ten ie r . effect will my departure
have; and inee you cannot get a vessel,
1 shall purchase and fit out one, to car
ry Vour despatches toCongress nnd me
to America." He accordingly fined
out a vessel, and meanwhile, made visit
to Great Britain, 'hat the past he was
about to act might be rendered more
conspicuous".
The French Court, whatever were
hir goo I wishes, towards America
"ould not ; at that, time, overlook his
elopement He was overtaken by an
.rder, forbidding him to proceed to A.

to the West Indies, to have him confin

Ho acknowledged thy receipt of the or
der, but did not obey it; and keeping
clear of the West Indies, he arrived at
Charleston, in the spring of 1777, and
imediately repaired to the seat of War.
He was received by Washington with
open arms, and was immediately ap-
pointed by Congre.s.a Major-Gene 1 1.
Many French officers followed his ex-
ample; and it was principally through
his efforts, backed by those of Dr.
Franklin and the other American Com
missioners at Paris, that the treaty of
alliance and mutual defence between
the United Slates and France, was af
terwards concluded.
