When he arrived there, less than half a mile off, he found that desperate street fighting had been going on for over an hour. Arnold's advance had begun at the same time as Livingston's demonstration and Montgomery's attack. But his task was very different and the time required much longer. There were three obstacles to be overcome.
We had no difficulty in ascertaining the place of Livingston's abode; for he was well known in the city. He resided in a handsome house situated on one of the principal streets; and we discovered that the lawless rascal was actually engaged in the practice of the law! "My dear friend," said Mrs.
Livingston's face was flushed, her eyes snapped; then her angry expression softened and she burst out laughing. "O Jane, Jane! You will be the undoing of all of us before you have done." Jane, with her hair disheveled, stood ruefully surveying the scene. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Livingston, that you went over. I didn't want to make you fall down, but I just had to show Daddy how glad I was to see him."
In this same year Fulton and Livingston made successful experiments on the Seine. It is fortunate that, in one particular, Livingston's influence did not prevail with Fulton, for the American Minister was distinctly prejudiced against paddle wheels.

What purposes, what oscillations, may have been going on deep in Bonaparte's secret mind, no one can tell.
He was far richer than he would have it appear. Let us investigate the careers of some of these powerful landed men, the founders of great fortunes, and inquire into their methods and into the conditions under which they succeeded in heaping up their immense accumulations. Livingston's title to his estate being called into question, a suit was brought. The court decision favored him.
Livingston's Canadian fighting 'patriots' waded through the drifts, against the storm, across the Plains, and took post close in on the far side of Cape Diamond, only eighty yards from the same walls that were to have been stormed some days before. Jerry Duggan's parasitic Canadian 'patriots' took post in the suburb of St John and thence round to Palace Gate.
Livingston's appointment, in referring to him, says "Should Mr. Burr's confidential friend ever become dangerous, we will show what he has been and what he is."
