TO THE EDITOR.

Sm—Having seen in a French work, lately pub-
iir,bed in London, under the title of " Memoires d'un
Psiwgeur qui se Repose," that I am mentioned in the
Sccond Volume, in the pages 278 and 279, I was
surprised to find the Author say, that he heard from
General CLINTON that I, with two Battalions, de-
cided the glorious Viaory of Kabul, won by the
nu ssians over the' Turks in 1770.
:If I suffered that assertion to pass without a re-
fut.ation, my Silence might be taken for a confirma-
tion of a fact which never existed, and .1 might be
ao:used of being a most impudent boaster. I coin-
andeA a battalion of grenadiers, it is true, at that
battle, where I hope I did my duty; but did no more
• thin any (Aber Officer or Soldier of the 17,000 Russian
Troops who composed that Arriny. The victory was
,entirely owing to tic superior talents, the courage,
