f...Ornrnandant of the Island of St. Thomas and. its Depen_denotes.' •-.
HIS ADDRESS is 'respeafully offered by those
.1.- over whom lie has lately presided. ' •
"..While we bewail that ill state of-health which compels
the anticipation of your Honor's departure from these Islands,
permit us, re4pteted Sir, to. express• those sentiments of
esteem with which we 'have been inspired by the uniform
moderation of your Cotiduel in this Government.
" Words are wanting, to describe the peculiarity of a situp-
tion sack as that in *hich your Honor was placed, when the
Government of an open Free Port like that of St. Thomas,
was committed to your care.
The tangeOf Wat permits not that freedom of intercourse
Which is the nurse of Commerce ; and the policy of the times
exacts a discipline in-the:beg regulated Communities.
" Yet you, Sir,• stranger to such a Community; composed
of different Nations, humturs and interests, have allowed
yourself little respite front the' multiplied duties of such a
situation, encumbered With new and unusual causes of em-
barrassment ; you have submitted to personal inconvenience,.
from a solicitude to lend an accommodating ear to every ap-
plication; you have manifested a desire 'f&-!to impartial jus-
tice; and have grafted an impression of resped upon the
mind of the Inhabitants of this Island, not easily to be diked.
May. you, Sir, be immediately restored toperfeet health ;
may your voyage be prosperous ; may you, in the bosoina of
a family rejoiced at your return; lung live in the enjoyment
of every blessing; and may the gracious Sovereign, whose •
Commission you bear with such unimpeached cotduet, con-
descend to distinguish merit like yours by his Royal appro-
bation.
" These sentiments have been awakened by your condua
in this Government ; the recolledion Of it wilt • long raffOrd
pleasure to over whom' you have presided, and who
hope for a place in .your_rennembrance, at whatever distance
the Fates mightpleice them.
" .We have the Honour to be,
" With great .consideration,
" Your Honor's
" Most obedient and humble Servants,
• . "C. G. FLEISCHER,
Committee appointed by " P. J ENNI NGS,
the Inhabitants. " AIVIES MURPHY,
