Lord and Gentlemen, after the eager contest that has
taken place for the high office to which you have elected
me, my feelings at the result scarce leave me the power
of giving expression to my gratitude. 11 those who have
taken a warm interest in the election, as many of you
have done, fed themselves in some degree affected on
its termination, what must his feelings be who was the
object of their solicitude and their choice? To this ho-
nourable Court I beg to return my most cordial thanks
for the honour they have conferred on me, and to the
end of my life 1 moist feel the warmest gratitude toward*
those friends to whose exertions I am indebted for the
situation in which I sin placed. Towards those by
whom I have been opposed, 1 can have no feelings to
express but that of thanks for the manner in which their
opposition had been conducted, and it shall be the pride
of my life to evince, by my conduct, that, in discharging
the duties of the high office, to which I am elected, I
shall forget every thing like party feeling, every political
feeling, every feeling of private fuendship. my
friends I shall always feel grateful ; but in their just eau_
'nation 1 shall best prove my gratitude by an impartial
awl faithful discharge of my duties. I could not by
lengthening this address, do any thing like justice to the
feelings of my heart, but 1 sin satisfied the candour and
kindness of the Court will give me credit for what I ant
unable to express."

also state, that the soldiecs have recently disturbed
the peace of the eity by the cries of " Rive foe
ever." and that the municipality have made reports
on the subject to the Prefect. It is probable that
there may have been a Servile interest at Paw..
tuna, which provoked the pasaions of the troops...
It is likewise very possible that some among the
