But, as not one of these thee- (lemma Officers is of such military rank, a. to justify, according to established usage, his being placed in the coin:nand of an Expedition of this magnitude, the expedient has been embraced. of naming jrS dew DALRYMPLE NOtHiNe/ COIII - in Chief of the force.: not that Sir HEW is to take any, the smallest active share in the Military Operations.
