" Buoyed above tie fear of death, by the
confeioufnefs of a life spent in the pursuit of
honor, and fully sensible that it has at no 1
time been Rained by any adion, which at
this serious moment could give me remorse
--.! have to solicit your Excellency, if there l
is any thing in my character which excites
▼our esteem ; if aught in my cirtumftanccs
can impress you with companion ; that I
may be permitted to die the death of a

it will be granted."

Orange Town, September z 6 1780.
Extract from Gaw. Greece's Orssrs.
m Treason, of the bhekeitdie, was yesterday
difeovertd. General Arnold, who commanded at।
Weft Point, loft to every sentiment of honour, cf।
private 2nd public obligation, was about to driver |
up that important pofi into the.fraads of the enemy.l
Such an event mast have given tl.e American eaufe
a deadly wound, if not a fatal ihb ; happily the
turion,has been timely discovered to pievent the
fatal misfortune. The presidential train ofchcum
fiances which leads to it. avoids the most coavipc
ing proof that the liberties of America is rhe object
of divifyroteaion. At the fame time theatreAon
is to be regretted, the General cannot help cengra
telating the army on the happy difeovery. , %
'' Our enemas, defeating cf carrying their foitf
by force, they are praai^ng every bgfe ad to effeft
by bribery and corruption, what they cannot ac, -
compl l th in a manly way.
•• Great honor ^ due to the American army that ,
this is toe fird in^aace of ucaiun of this kind, where
many were to be expefted from, the nature of the
dispute, and nothing is so bright an ornament as the 1
character es the American folders, ^ they having ;
been proof &%ainfi all the arts and fedy&ous of an in- 1
fidioas enemy. f ^
