Miss. SEWARD, WASHINGTON & ANDRE

Carlisle Patriot - December 27th, 1844

MISS. SEWARD, WASHINGTON AND MAJOR ANDRE. ______         Miss. SEWARD was so considerable  a person when her reputation was at its height, that WASHINGTON said no  circumstance in his life had been so mortifying to him as that of having been  made the subject of her invective in her monody on Major ANDRE.       After peace had been concluded  between Great Britain and the United States, he commissioned an American  Officer, who was about to sail for England, to call upon her at Lichfield, and  explain to her, that instead of causing ANDRE's death, he had endeavoured to  save him; and she was requested to peruse the papers in proof of this, which he  sent for her perusal.       "They filled me," said Miss.  SEWARD, "with contrition for the rash injustice of my censure. "     ~ Southey.     *************************   SARDINA AND FRANCE.         Letters from Turin state that a  strong sensation had been created in that city by the violation of the Sardinian  territory by a body of French gensdarmes, douaniers, and other armed soldiers,  who had been taken prisoners, and conveyed, under circumstances of unnecessary  brutality, to Grenoble. The affair seems likely to produce a serious  misunderstanding between the French and Sardinian governments.     *******************
