THE
ANNAPOLIS. August 15.
On Saturday last arrived in this city, on a visit
to our Governor, His Excellency Count Rocham
beau, Commander in Chief of the auxiliaiy army
in the United States, accompanied by the Count
Dillon, and Several other French officers of distinc
tion, and on Monday morning set out on his re
turn to Baltimore.
To His Excellency
COUNT ROCHAMBEAU,
Commander in Chief of the auxiliary army in the
United States.
The ADDRESS of the Governor and Coun
cil of the State of Maryland.
S I R, Annapolis, Aug. 11, 1782.
is with Singular pleasure, that the Executive
of Maryland embrace the opportunity afforded
by your arrival in this city, of offering your Excel
lency every mark of esteem and refped.
Accept, Sir, our warmed thanks for the distin
guished part you sustained in the reduction of York:
to the wisdom of your counsels, the vigour of your
conduct, the bravery of the troops under your com
mand, and to the judicious exertions of the Count
de Graffe, the success obtained by the allied army
is, in a great degree, to be attributed.
We are happy to assure your Excellency, that
the people of this state, deeply inrerefted in every
event which can promote the felicity of your illu
strious Monarch, or his kingdom, received with
the most lively demonstrations of joy, the account
of the birth of a Dauphin: That the young Prince
may emulate the virtues, and inherit the dominions
of his Royal Father, and that the union, founded
on the most generous equality, and cemented by the
blood of both nations, may endure forever, is our
fervent with ; the incidents of war have only more
Strongly united our affeftions, and, we doubt not,
that the ancient spirit of France, with her nume
rous resources, will soon humble the pride of our
common enemy.
1 he ready protection afforded by your Excellen
cy to the commerce of Maryland, demands our
grateful acknowledgments; the decorum and exem
plary discipline observed by your troops, on their
march through the state, have given entire fatisfac
tion to our citizens; our duty and inclination will
prompt us to do every thing in our power for their
convenience; and we request your Excellency to
communicate to the Ger erals and other officers of
your army, the high sense we entertain of their me
rit, and the affection and regard we have for their
perlons and characters.
In behalf of the Executive,
To His Excellency the Governor and the Ho
nourable Council of the State of Maryland.
Annapolis, August 11, 1782.
lAMI AM very sensible of the marks of friendship and
affection that I receive from His Excellency the
Governor, and the Honourable Council of the state
of Maryland.
If we have been happy enough to contribute to
wards the success of their arms, under our com
mander in chief, His Excellency General Walking,
ton, we receive the molt flattering marks of ap
probation, by the very cordial reception the French
army meet with from all the inhabitants of this
state.
The great joy and interest they have been pleas
ed to Shew, on account of the birth of the Dau
phin, will, undoubtedly, be very agreeable to the
King my master ; he will be equally flattered at the
warmth with which the state of Maryland support
their alliance, and wiih it to be lading
The ftri& discipline of the troops, is the least
mark of gratitude that we could give to a state from
which we receive so many proofs of attachment and
friendship.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient and most
Humble servant,
Le Compte de ROCHAMBEAU.
