The effect of this correspondence, therefore, was simply to place Pinkney's departure upon the same ground as the new Non-Intercourse Act against Great Britain. Mr. Augustus John Foster was still a very young man, just thirty-one.
Pen's, which had such a pleasing success in the "Roseleaves," that charming Annual edited by Lady Violet Lebas, and illustrated by portraits of the female nobility by the famous artist Pinkney, were composed at this period of our hero's life; and were first addressed to Blanche, per post, before they figured in print, cornets as it were to Pinkney's pictorial garland.
One evening she came home elated. "Joe, dear," she said, gleefully, "I've a pupil. And, oh, the loveliest people! General General A. B. Pinkney's daughter on Seventy-first street. Such a splendid house, Joe you ought to see the front door! Byzantine I think you would call it. And inside! Oh, Joe, I never saw anything like it before. "My pupil is his daughter Clementina. I dearly love her already.
It was just before bed-time that Eliot told them the awful thing. "I suppose you know," he said, "that Pinkney's mother's dying?" "I didn't," said Jerrold. "But I might have known. I notice that when you're excited, really excited, something awful's bound to happen.... Don't cry, Anne. It was beastly of us, but we didn't know." "No. It's no use crying," said Eliot. "You can't do anything."
In the present juncture, Wellesley replied to Pinkney's claim for the revocation of the Orders in Council by quoting, and repeating, the assurance of Erskine's letter of February 23, 1808, given above. Yet, unless the Orders in Council were repealed, Napoleon's concessions would not go far to relieve the United States.
Oh, I really am getting attached to her, she is so gentle and high bred. Gen. Pinkney's brother was once Minister to Bolivia." And then Joe, with the air of a Monte Cristo, drew forth a ten, a five, a two and a one all legal tender notes and laid them beside Delia's earnings. "Sold that watercolour of the obelisk to a man from Peoria," he announced overwhelmingly.
The entire Senate presented the appearance of a laughing-school practising side-splitting and ear-extended grins. Mr. Wadleigh leaned back in his chair and shook with laughter, after portraying to his next neighbor, Pinkney Whyte, of Maryland, the apparition of Pinkney's landlady descending upon the polls like a wolf on the fold, to annihilate his election.
The remark is noteworthy, for it shows Pinkney's sense that Erskine's mere letter of credence as Minister Resident, not supplemented by full powers for the special transaction, was inadequate to a binding settlement of such important matters.
Pinkney's favorite law book; and "his arguments at the Bar," says his biographer, Mr. Wheaton, "abounded with perpetual recurrences to the principles and analysis drawn from this rich mine of common law learning." Mr. Hoffman, in his Course of Legal Study, has also borne his testimony to its importance to the American practitioner.
Unhappily for Pinkney's argument on the actuality of Napoleon's repeal, on the very day of his own writing, December 10, the American chargé in Paris, Jonathan Russell, was sending Champagny a remonstrance upon the seizure of an American vessel at Bordeaux, under the decrees of Berlin and Milan, on December 1, a month after their asserted repeal.
