respondent Of the Atlas, whom We believe 10 be a
member of the Maiue House of Assembly, gives an
abstract OF is contents follows:

~ dinio ues aud ash for instructions from them what
course he shall now pursue. lie leaves the whole
subject IN their hands, and expresses his willingness
to carry out any measures they may fl 10 adopt
but not TO seem TO avoid responsibility, the Co
vernon gives his views ontEe subject. He commences
by giving brei account OF The late proceedings in
this State, and the object in sending force 10 the
dis uied territory, which he states TO be solely to
protect them against the threatened attack Of Sir

He objects TO the arrangement recommended al
Washington, that II would be making retro ade
