and what he iays is always to the
PurPoie and in points of future events,
his words feem to be the words Of an
oracle.
"He may indeed be confdered as
veteran in politics, having long a6ted
conlpicuous and important part, and
acquired vaf experience at feveral Of
the courts of Europe, and in ferrous
CriGs. Though he does not ape the
graces of Cheferfeld, yet we have
found in him the more important ac-
compliments of an Ambalador for his
fern republican virtues have i'll every
inltance roee hyperion TO the duplicity
and affected confequence Of European
Courtiers. America ftandS indebted to
him principally for their important &C

and fecuring the patronage Of Holland
in a critical moment-the exteniion of
our IimitS-and the iecurity Of our

1t is my opinion that every we'll ordered
