here, to support tit:: Laws and Csuistution of this realm, and
to maintain the tranquillity of our neighbourhood iu particular,
We cannot suffer your departure hence, without expresses
our public approbation of your conduct, during the period of
your command in this district.
We are desirous slam to assure you, that we do not forget Vale
great benefits that were derived to this city and its %windy,
from the general tenor of your condo t on a ft l
when, during the existence of open lilebelliou in many 1,::114 of
Ireland, and the consequent absence of your 6Ulletiof Ohlee, al
that -time, upon sera ice in another district, the chief command
of this garrison de-solved upon you. At that moment of gene-
ral alarm, much Of the eunipaiatise assuranee and teatiquillity
of mind we here enjoyed, was universally and justly attributed
to the mobil:lnce, which the ',rodent vigilauce of
sures, and the personal activity of your exertions, so generally
inspired.
In giving expression to these sentiments, we do no more
than what we p;aceive to be justly due ti you; and we larrieut
that the shortness of your stay in this place necessarily pre-
cludes many country Ge:itknien (who, we doubt taut, would
gladly erubmee every opportunity of declariug their high opi-
nion of von), from concurring with% us in presentine tuis ad-
dress.—Wit few/ take our leare, requesting you to accept our
sincere thanks for the Vat you have always manifested, in the
pertiirierance of vsur duty, to repress the spirit of disaffection,
to support his Majesty's Government, out to maintain a due
sense of order, wail a proper subordination to law.
