H&iotwithstanding Congress appear to estimate the val ue of my life beyond any services I have been able to render the United States, yet I must be permitted to consider the wisdom and unanimity of our national Councils, the firmness of our citizens, and tbe patience ■nd bravery of oor trooj*, which have produced so happy a termination of the war, as the most conspi cuous effect <«f the divine interposition, and the surest presage of our future happiness. “ * Highly gratified by the lavorable sentiments " hich Congress are pleased to express of my past conduct, and amply rewarded by the confidence and affection of my fellow-citizen®, I cannot hesitate to Contribute my best endeavors towards the establish ment of the national security in whatever manner the ■overeign power may think proper to direct, until the ratification of the definitive treaty of peace, or the ft- j nal evacuation of our country by the British forces ; after eitherof which i shall ask permission to retire to the peaceful shades of private life. “ * Perhaps, sir, no occasion may offer more suitable i than the present to express my humble thanks to God, and my grateful acknowledgments to my country, for the great and uniform support I have received in every vicissitude of fortune, and for the many dis tinguished honors which Congress have been pleased to confer upon me in the course of the war.’ ” Gkn.
