no SIN HENRY CLINTON.

To SIR HENRY CLINTON.
WHEN | took ihs liberty to address you on q
w former occasion, did not suppose 1t would
have fallen to my part, TO have experienced Sc
cond time, so singular a distinction. You were
then descending from the small degree OF emnence
you had 80 difficulty acquired, TO mlnge your fame
with that Of your forgotten predecessors. Even
your friends behed you. like one OF those comets,
whose faint appearance neither produces tear nor
astonishment, and whose course after few hours
of idle curiosity s only to be seen ia the records
Of the astronomer. The hopes Of your hAtferers,
and the expectations Q. your enemies were equally
lence al one time parade at another and seneeless
variety of seeming enterprises, half formed, or ter
minating without effect, had Justly fixed your cha
racter and marked il with that bewildered express
sion, which il was thought no experience could
be ter. But you have lived to enjoy triumph over
public opinion, and to erect new tame on the ta-
lents OF another. With a submission that shews
you al least possessed OF certain portion OF pru-
dence, you committed the management OF your
councils to man Of superior abilities From this
moment Mr.. Andre became the first minister TO his
commander, and your affairs felt the influence of
such director. But Sir Henry, thy sagaciiy fore
saw no evil in his attempts, nor could his
own penetration provide against his ship
wreck FIatteredw with the baubes OF favoriteism,
he gave fresh life to your hopes and drew You from
the closet where you were sadly anticipating the
horrors of sinking authority. What others viewed
as impossible, appeared to him only as difficult and
he embraced your interest from the same passion
that made Caesar king, and, perhaps, Bruius an
assassin. Such are the. errors OF ambition or the
madness OF elevated minds

place for kingdom. But policy tior who will

Of your enemy wondered at your total priva,ion OF
sensibility; and while they complied with the law
and usages OF nations, did justice to his magnani-

Had you ought of sentiment, Sir Harry, there
would be no end to your Affections, had you a

have sacrificed your commission, could that have

friends should be no longer protected than they are
thought to be useful, place me in cottage and OBJ
security. and let me for ever be secluded from such
men. But alas /! it is the. nature OF power to at
