| SAMUEL CABELL, - captain.
\/VHEREAS a report has been propa
gared, much to the prejadice of
capt. Rebert Ballard, that he has made
use of the soldiers money under his com
mand, amﬁ indebted to them for their
wages, to the amount of 6 or 7001. 1
tzke this method to inform the publick,
that such reports are entirely falfe and
groundless, as it appears, upon examina
tion, that capt. Ballard has punitually
paid his soldiers, and now has theirreceipts
in full, with a balance in his favour, and
that they are well fatisfied in every parti
cular with him.
I'l‘ is with real concern I find aninjurions
report has been {pread through the
country, nearly affecting my reputation
as an ofhcerand man of honcur. Aslam
conscious of my own Trectitude, I am al
ways ready and williug to have a review
of any part of my military conduét ; and,
on this occasion, shall lay before the pub
lick the following certificate, which I hope
will fufliciently refute the charge that
has been alledged against me.
