Statesman; born in Philadelphia, Oct. 3, 1782; became a lawyer, and was attached to the legation of Rufus King when he was minister to France. After travelling in Europe, he returned, and published a poem in 1800, and a tragedy in 1801. In 1810 he [41] published a political satire, called Inchiquin the Jesuit's letters. In 1813 he was in Congress, and from 1815 to 1829 he was United States district-attorney. He was again in Congress from 1841 to 1847, when he was a Democratic leader. President Polk nominated him minister to France, but the Senate did not confirm the nomination. He wrote a history of the second war between the United States and Great Britain. He died in Philadelphia, Jan. 14, 1862.
