The above is an exact copy of a drawing, sketched with a pen by Major André on the morning he was to have been executed, with a desire (it is supposed) of perpetuating a transaction which terminated fatally for him. The drawing was found upon his table, with other papers, the next day (being that of his decease), by his servant, and delivered by him, on his arrival in New York, to Lieut. Colonel Crosbie, of the 22d Regiment, who caused this engraving to be taken, as a mark of his friendship for that unfortunate officer.
