pressed in hattering manner, is one OF the most
grateful of my life; and TO secure the con-
tinuance Of your good opinion, will be the object
OF my highest ambition. Allow me 10 thank you

estimate you have made of the manner IN which
/ have discharged nay official duties, and 10 assure
you, that, proceeding from source SO intelligent
ana patIOlic, it affords ample and most accept
BILE reward, for any public services it may have been
my good fortune 10 render; and to add, that IN re
cur ing to the advantages secured to our country,
