We have been politely furnished with a
copy OF the answer, returned by the officers

pleased To take leave of them, in common
win the rest of your late companions in
arms.
III Is not for us, sir, TO discuss the proprety

ration, but we can with truth affirm, that we
are IN great degree compensated for the pam
we leei at separating from you, to find that he,
"hom many of us have followed through pr-
yations and dangers 10 victory, is still the I'M
dallnted advocate ofthe soldiers honor.
1t affords us the highest satisfaction To bear

which you then pursued. And we assure
you, sir, that it is heartfelt satisfaction to us
10 nho, mat our conduct has met-the appro-
pa'lon OF one, who is so well qualified to APP
