at his post.-Far distant from those t, whom
you looked tor Instructions, and by whose
orders you were bound, embarrassed bv
difficulties, perplexed by articles, and be-
set by tolls, you resisted the prospect os

GENTLEMEN,
YOU embarrass and Cypress
me By this unexpected & uamerited cour-

Feeling aud reflection instruct me to re
Verence your motives, and ] shall ever ac-
knowledge your 4pProbation with CRATE nj
sensibility; but as The instance of gny con
duct winch has produced the expression of

imperious circumstances ara sprung from
a sense ofduty, which I could not have ne
elected without mourning the reprobation
~ my own breast, and the condemnation
OF ali good men, 1t nece ssarily follows that
can have no fair clim to extraordinary
favor.
Yet pending The awful scenes to which
you have sdverted, the sufferings incident
TO the peculiarly Of my SITUATION, seem TO
give me ScnIe tile to the sympathy of those
for whom hive suffered and beg YOU
to believe that in the commendation of the

rils Of military conflict, and not the perse-
cutions OF the tongue and the pen. | have
been deceived, and instead of the sword of
the soldier, | have been assailed Nv the
dagger Of the assassin.

institutions had sworn to defend, did not
alarm me for myself, but put ne in fear
for my country yielded to virtuouS i'm
pulse, struck for the safety Of the state, and
in giving the blow offended against the
laws-encompa sed by difficulties without
guide or pilot but my own feeble discretion,
and urged by the necessity of the case,
was impelledby my solicitudes to the COM
mission OF n monetary violation, for the
permanent security of the constitution, and
in discharging a sacred duty, have incur.
red heavy penalties-should the policy of
my country prescribe it, ] shall meet the
infection without murmur, & prostratipe
myself before the civil authority, / shall
triumph in my own degradation or should
1t be deemed eXpedieht to the safety
and happiness Of United America to abo.
lish the precedent, let the honest purposes
of faithful soldier be fulfilled and my life
obIiterate the transgression ;-thcn l shall
not have lived ~ vain, and pOsterity whilst
