nos Ayres and Vimiera ; in the former instance by his

Ste—ln addressing you i.i the name of the Officers of the Ist

signal and gracious mark royal approbation conferred upon
you; but in, foregoing that, we nevertheless, to your private

Accept, then, this sword; its tn-tr of our good wishes, and as a
memorial of those services which have dignified your military
life, and added lustre and honour to the antis of your country.
To which the Colonel replied :
In accepting this Sword front my Brother Officers, as a testi-
mony of their respect and esteem, I beg leave to return tkem my
mcs; sincere thanks ; at the same time it would be doing them
the greatest isjustice, was I not in this public manner to declare,
that In carrying on the several duties and discipline of the regi-
ment, I have ever found the greatest alacrity, the greatest willing-
ness, and the strictest obedience to all ord 1-3, which has given
me, as Commanding Officer, the most heartfelt satisfaction.
To you, Gentlemen, to the Non-commissioned Officers, arc
Privates,: take this opportunity of returning my thanks for rhi
suppdrt you at all times afforded me on service, and for your
coolness, steadiness, and gallantry, so, often displayed by you ir.
action.
Should the regiment be again called upon, i have not a doubt
remaining they will prove themselves to be the 33th, and wig add
fresh laurels to those they have on many occasions so gloriously
acquired. •
