was great public service, there can be no

within the enemys lines; to my conduct of
the policy pursued by me towards the inhab-
ilants of the country occupied by our troops,
with reference to themselves or their proper

rect treachery or disloyalty to the nation Or
any individual having, like myself, an impor-

OF my capacity all the support ir my power;

unworthy or personal motives to go to the aid
of or send reinforcements to my brother COM
marders. .... y.-..- -.. - &.
