&c You found US in a tate of chaos, u'-
multuors concoafe Of itrangers, without
avs, without culture, withou, defence.-
You leave focie;y eifabliihed in all the ex-

afIiduous application, and firm adherence TO
every constitutional right, we cannot look
forward to that approaching period, which is
to deprive US Of il, without the mott aflIctrg

mains, which we uuR will ever be the cafe,
our prayers will always attend your Excel

longevity with perfect enjoyment of
health, and of thole honours and recompen-
ccs from your ROYAL Matter, which your at
tachment to his petlon, zeal for his intereit,
and numerous fervices have entitled you to.
