In Washington's camp Lafayette smiled as he read, that his government dated the independence of America from the moment of its own declaration, and said prophetically: Therein lies a principle of national sovereignty which one day will be recalled to them at home. On the sixth the alliance was 6. celebrated at Valley Forge. After a salute of thirteen cannon and a running fire of all the musketry, the army, drawn up in two lines, shouted: Long Chap. IV.} 1778. May 8. live the king of France! and again: Long live the friendly European powers! and the ceremonies were closed by a huzza for the American states. In an address to the inhabitants of the United States, congress assumed that independence was secured, and they proclaimed the existence of a new people, though they could not hide its want of a government.

After receiving him at breakfast, Franklin took him in his own carriage to Versailles; and there the dismissed postmaster-general for America, at the request of the British secretary of state, introduced the son of the author of the American stamp act as the British plenipotentiary to the minister for foreign affairs of the Bourbon king. Statesmen at Paris and Vienna were amused on hearing that the envoy of the rebel colonies was become the introductor of the representatives of Great Britain at the court of Versailles. Vergennes received Grenville most cordially as the nephew of an old friend, but smiled
