Here he erected a large and elegant mansion overlooking the city of Washington and the broad Potomac. The chain of hills, on which the house was built, forms an amphitheatre around the city, and were, at the time, covered with a fine growth of forest, the whole form ing an extensive landscape which, to this day, has lost little of its beauty. Here was to be found everything that money could procure, to make the time pass pleasantly after the life of toil and warfare through which Captain Porter... had passed ; and here he delighted to dispense that hospitality, which made his house a place of reunion for some of the wisest and greatest in the land. Decatur built an equally fine establishment on the corner of H. Street and Lafayette square, which is still standing; and here these distinguished officers, daily ex tending their influence with congress and the executive, were enabled to prevent the service from being aifected by any lack of congressional information, and kept it up to high water mark by the arguments they could supply to the secretary in making his annual report.
