emery, which have been entrusted to him upon oath; be has
printed and published several papers of important. to Prussia.

stain from publishing any thing of the kind. • .-

grant him the discharge which he shad, but that it was re-

to deliver up all the papers relative jo the service, and every
thing which be had in his bands in consequence of his ancient te-
