A Copy of Letter by General Kosciuszko to Mrs. Gen. A. W. White.

Philadelphia.

MADAME:

Could I express half so well my ideas, and in so masterly a manner as yours, I would write the inward sentiments of heart so clear and convincing, that there would not remain any doubt of my sincerity in the other's breast, if even it should be called in question. My gratitude and reciprocity of affection, as I am not able to do so by style, I approach nearer the nature of truth, which can point blank at the feelings. You were pleased to write me that you were happy in my company, and in doing everything for me, but this only shows the good heart of yours; and you do not grant the pardon for the trouble I gave you. When shall I have, at least the analogy that you have found in me? The present I send you before, is of equivocal conception and may turn both ways. But you shall not mistake of my likeness. I send you this my uncertain Fortune always up and down, meeting in his way with difficulties and inconstancy. But calm and giving welcome to every one, without hurting anybody, and always ready to give a bouquet of his bundle of flowers, accompanied with good wishes for friends and enemies. My best respects to Miss Ellis. Send me a pardon, madame, in a formal lawyer's parchment, and signed by yourself. Your humble and obedient servant, friend-let me see what more-affectionately, with due respect and esteem,

The Will of Rosciuszko, made in the United States, in 1798.

I, Thaddeus Kosciuszko, being just on my departure from America, do hereby declare and direct, that should I make no other testamentary disposition of my property in the United States, I hereby authorize my friend, Thomas Jefferson, to employ the whole thereof in purchasing negroes from among his own or any others, and giving them liberty in my name, in giving them an education in trade or otherwise, and in having them instructed for their new condition, in the duties of morality, which may make them good neighbors, good fathers or good mothers, husbands or wives, in their duty as citizens, teaching them to be defenders of their liberty and country, of the good order of society, and in whatsoever may make them happy and useful, and I make the said Thomas Jefferson, executor of this.

T. KOSCIUSZKO.

5th of May, 1798.

JOHN SOBIESKI, the lion-hearted King of Poland, was in his day the greatest and most feared soldier in Europe, for wherever he carried his banners, victory perched on them. He had been a staunch partisan of Louis XIV., but as a Christian knight and a noble Pole, he had vowed inextinguishable hostility to the Moslems; his grandfather, his father and his brother, had perished by the sword of the Turks.

When the Turks were arming against Germany, his alliance was sought by Louis and Leopold; but throwing his sword in
