SIR,
I had the pleafure yefterdav
of receiveng an addrefs from the
firft Magistrate of the only Re-
puh’ic on earth. This letter
complinvnts me highly upon
my fervices as a fo'dier, and
praifes my patriotifm. It is
true I love the country of my
birth; for it is not only the
country I fhiuld choofe above
all others, but it is the only fpot
where I could wear out the rem
nant of my days with any fiitii-
facti m.
Twice mv country has bee
invaded by foreign enemies, an
twice I went with the reft t) ob
tain p ace. And when the oh
j tl was gained, I returned t
my farm and my original occu
pution. I have ever va!u
peace fi> high, that I would no
facrifice it for any thing bu
freedom ; yet fubmiffi.m to in
fult I never thought the way to
gain or fupporr either.
I was pivafed with your dif-
mifi'il of die man the h'nglilh
fe.it to irtfult us, becaufe they
have no doubt but Mr. Langdon phine's dower (h :li be two mil

hope, but that he was mod ell an f, will fee by the exp, riment that
humolc in the mod profperous for
tune. By thefe virtues, lie equalled
or excelled the ancient mait-rn of
the military art. Viffory, by foa
and land, attended his arms. He
fubdued Africa, Italy and the adja
cent Blands, led away captives the
fucceflurs of Genferic and l'lieodo-
ric fitied Co’.iltaiitinople with the
fpoils of tlie : r palaces, and in the
fpace of fix years recovered half the
provinces of the Wellern empire
In his fame and merit, in wealth &
power, he remained without a rival,
the fird of the Roman fubjeds:
the voice of envy could only magni
fy his dangerous importance ; and
the emperor might applaud his own
difeerniug fpirit, which had difeo-
v u red and raifed the genius of D.uifa-
Frsrn the Newham fiji re Pat; hi.
