To GoyERNEUR MORRIS, ESQ Dear Sir: The
design Of this is to touch cursorily upon sub.
jcct of very great Importance to the well being Of
these States; much more So than will appear ut
first view mean the appointment of many
foreigners to offices Of high rank aud trust in oar
service.
The lavish manner in which rank has hitherto
been bestowed ON these gentlemen will certainly
be productive ofone or the other of two evils, eli
ther to make US despieabe in theeyes of Europe,
or become a means OF pouring them upon US like
IA torrent and adding to our present burden.
Bat il Is neither the expense or trouble otthem
| most orcnd; there is an evil moro extensive in
its nature aud fatal in its consequences to be ap-
pretended. and that is the driving Of all our of
fcers out Of the service and throwing not only
our army, but our military councils entirely into
the hands of Foreigners.
The officers, my dear sir, on whom YOU must
depend for the defence of this cause distinguish
ed by length of service and military merit, will
not submit much if any longer to the unnatural
promotion of men over them, who have nothing
more than little plausbty, unbounded pride
and ambition and a perseverance in the applica-
ton tosnpport their pretentons not to be resis-
ted but by uncommon hrmncss men who, in the
first instance, tell youthoy wish for nothing more
than the honor of serving in SO glorious cause
as volunteers, the next day solicit rank without
pay, the dav following want money advanced
to them aud in the course of week want further
promotion. The expediency and policy of the mea.
sure remain to be considered, and whether it is
consistent with justice or prudence TO promote
these fortune hunters at the hazard of our army.
Baron Steuben, now fluid, is also wanting To
quit his inspectorship for command in tn" line.
This will be productive of much discomfort. In
a word. although think the Baron an excellent
officer, do most deroutiy irish that ice had not
single foreigner among as, except the Marquis de
Lafayette. who acts upon very different princi.
pies from those which govern the rest. Adeu.
am most sincerely yours,
G. WASHI\GTON

To RICHARD HENRY IEE-Dear Sir: | take

different times promoted to the rank of field otii-
GERS aud by their last resolve two to that of Col
onCl! These men have no attachment to the
country. further than interest binds them. Oar
officers think it extremely hard. after they have
toiled in the service, and have sustained many
losses, 10 have strangers put over them, whose
merits, perhaps, not equal to their own, hat
whose elirontcry will take no denial.
1t is by the zeal and activity ofonr own people
