ANNAPOLIS, December 25. The UNITED STATES in CONGRESS Assembled, December 23, 1783.
According to order, his Excellency the Commander in Chief was admitted to a public audience, and being seated, the President after a pause, informed him, that the United States in Congress Assembled, were prepared to receive his communications; whereupon he rose and addressed Congress as follows:
MR. PRESIDENT,
THE great events on which my resignation depended, having at length taken place; I have now the honor of offering my sincere congratulations to Congress, and of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me; and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the service of my country.
Happy in the confirmation of our independence and sovereignty, and pleased with the opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable nation, resign with satisfaction the appointment I accepted with diffidence; a diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task, which, however, was superceded by a confidence in the rectitude of our cause, the support of the supreme power of the union, and the patronage of heaven.
The successful termination of the war has verified the most sanguine expectations; and my gratitude for the interposition of providence, and the assistance I have received from my countrymen, increases with every review of the momentous contest.
While I repeat my obligations to the army in general, I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknowledge, in this place, the peculiar services, and distinguished merits, of the gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the war.
It was impossible the choice of confidential officers to compose my family, should have been more fortunate.
Permit me, Sir, to recommend in particular, those who have continued in the service to the present moment, as worthy of the favourable notice and patronage of Congress.
I consider it as an indispensable duty to close this last act of my official life by commending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them to his holy keeping.
Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of action; and bidding an affectionate farewell to this august body, under whose orders I have so long acted.
I here offer my commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.
He then advanced and delivered to the President his commission, with a copy of his address, and having resumed his place, the President returned him the following answer:
SIR,
THE United States in Congress assembled, receive with emotions too affectionate for utterance, the solemn resignation of the authorities under which you have led their troops with success through a perilous and doubtful war.
Called upon by your country to defend its invaded rights, you accepted the sacred charge before it had formed alliances, and whilst it was without funds or a government to support you.
You have conducted the great military contest with wisdom and fortitude, invariably regarding the rights of the civil powers through all disasters and changes. You have, by the love and confidence of your fellow citizens, enabled them to display their martial genius, and transmit their fame to posterity.
You have persevered, till these United States aided by a magnanimous King and nation have been enabled, under a just pro-
vidence, to close the war in freedom, safety and independence; on which happy event we sincerely join you in congratulations.
Having defended the standard of liberty in this new world—having taught a lesson useful to those who inflict, and to those who feel oppression, you retire from the great theatre of action with the blessings of your fellow citizens. But the glory of your virtues will not terminate with your military command—it will continue to animate remotest ages.
We feel with you our obligations to the army in general, and will particularly charge ourselves with the interest of those confidential officers who have attended your person to this affecting moment.
We join with you in commending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God, beseeching him to dispose the hearts and minds of its citizens to improve the opportunity afforded them of becoming a happy and respectable nation.—And for You, we address to Him our warmest prayers, that a life so beloved, may be fostered with all his care—that your days may be happy as they have been illustrious, and that he will finally give you that reward which this world cannot give,
Extract from the minutes, CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary.
Here we must let fall the scene—few tragedies ever drew more tears from so many beautiful eyes, as were affected by the moving manner in which his Excellency took his final leave of Congress. After which he immediately set out for Virginia, accompanied to South river by his Excellency our Governor, with the warmest wishes of the city for his repose, health, and happiness. Long, long may he enjoy them!
B O S T O N, January 19.
We are told that the demand, from this country, for British goods, is so great, that the manufactures in England, many of whom were lately out of employ, now cry out—"Blessed are the Peace Makers."
Thursday afternoon, Cassimo Garcilli, was executed on the gallows on Boston neck, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of Mr. John Johnson, as has been repeatedly announced in the public papers.
The sudden thaw which took place at New London, the 7th instant, raised the brooks and rivers to such a degree that a considerable number of bridges are carried off.
A large quantity of plank and timber which composed the bridges on Sherucket River, was seen floating down that harbour.
A N E C D O T E.
A FRENCH officer at a general review before the King dans la plaine des Invalides in Paris, while he was running on horseback thro' the ranks, happened to let his hat fall on the ground; a soldier picking it up with a drawn sword, made a hole into it, which put the officer in such a violent passion, that he declared he would rather have had the sword through his guts than his hat. His Majesty hearing this strange declaration, asked him the reason: "Why said he, there is a surgeon of my acquaintance, who, I am sure, would give me credit; but I know of no hatter that will."
A N E C D O T E.
A N honest couple in the county of Cornwall were very fond of having a small cask of home brewed ale in the cellar, and they had a remarkable jug, with an Angel painted in the bottom, which was to be their portion, equally divided; but in general the old woman used to go to the bottom, at her draught; and being called to an account by her husband, her excuse was, "She did love to see the Angel at the bottom to much: "Upon which he got it struck out, and the Devil put in its stead, still the old woman found the bottom, and being upbraided for going so deep, she replied, "that she was determined not to leave the Devil a drop."
