Having learned that the arrangements, consequent upon a

are anxious to express our Sentiments of your ConduCt, dur-
hag the period of that Command, and which' embraces five
:of theniost eventful -years in the History of this Country. •
That History will Record that your Services were:not li
mired to the District of our Command, but were, as Oc,caa
• sion required, extended, and with- effec-t,' under eircum-•
stances of extraordinary exertion and celerity, to such, parts
'of this• Kingdom as required the aid and presence of those
who were most distinguished and best skilled in the Military
ProfesSion.
• that which remains, as more immediately within our
province, we are of all others the most competent to speak.
Yourresidence amongst us in those intervals not occupied-by
alive Service, altbrds-us at once the opportunity of. judging
of you, and the inducement to declare that judgment.
Let it therefore -be remembered (indeed the poor and
wretched within your Distrid never can forget), that when it
Pleased Providence, amongst his other visitations, to infiid
Scarcity on this Land, your Benevolence and Exertions were
actively and usefully direded to alleviate the Calamity,
while with firmness and moderation, you continued to. dis-
charge the trust confided to you, rendered more difficult from
the incumbent pressure, and the hopes which it excited:
Such, Sir, are the sentiments which the experience or five
years warrants us to • pronounce—the expression of them,
while it is honourable to you, is most.grateful to us. It is
the tribute of atiedion and gratitude,• in, discharge of which
all classes of this community most zealously concur : and in
whatever situation you may hereafter be placed, whether of
public or private life, next to the consciousness,of having
done well, you will bear with you the recolledion, that in
times the most critical, you conciliated the esteem and at-
tachment of those over whorl you presided, and that on your
departure, you left impressed ontheir Hearts, but one com-
mon sentiment of Regard and Regiet. - • - • •
