Darwin, or the Edgeworths, father and daughter, who have all given to the public many intreesting events in the brilliant but brief career of Majoy AndreV'
It is creditable to the British Government that in consideration of the magnitude of Andre's attempted service, and the disastrous fate with which his efforts were crowned, nothing was wanting to testify either its care for his fame or its respect for his wishes. On the 13th November, Captain St. George, Clinton's aide, delivered that General's despatches of the 1 2th October, to Lord George Germain:
"The unexpected and melancholy turn which my negotiations with General Arnold took with respect to my Adjutant-General, has filled my mind with the deepest concern. He was an active, intelligent and useful officer, and a young gentleman of the most promising hopes. Therefore, as he has unfortunately fallen a sacrifice to his great zed for the King's service, I judged it right to consent to his wish, intimated to me in his letter of the 29th Sept., of which I have the honor to enclose j'our lordship a copy, that his company which he purchased should be sold for the benefit of his mother aud sisters. But I trust, my lord, that your lordship will think Major Andre's misfortune still calls for some further support to his family ; and I beg leave to make it my humble request that you will have the goodness to recommend them in the strongest manner to the King, for some beneficial and distinguishing mark of His Majesty's favor."0
