scuipiurs ui nit* uay.—uwyw a iiccauj.#The Maryland Picture.—A Paris letter savs: Mr. Kdwin White, an American artist, who has lieen residing for some years in Paris, returns to the United States in alor.t ten days, with his much admired picture of “General Washington Resigning the Command of the American Army.*’ It is painted for the Senate House at Annapolis, where the scene described took place, and at the expense of the State of Maryland. The canvass is about nine by fourteen feet; it contains about thirty portraits, besides many imaginery figures, and, as a composition, I think it will be esteemed as highly as any in which the person of Washington has ever been made the prominent feature.rv\.~ 1 ^ ~ ^ 1* *r__J__a ai _
