EXPEDITION TO SURINAM. 



On the 29th, Captain de Borgnes was made major in 

 Rughcop's place ; but no new fubalterns were created, 

 Fourgeoud declaring he had no more materials to fabri-

 the ferjeants ; but two brave youths, both gentlemen's 

 fons, who had entered as volunteers, and gone through 

 every danger and fatigue, remained unnoticed in the 

 ranks, the one named Sbeffer^ the other Meyer ; — fuch 

 ever was, and ever will be, too frequently jX\\^ confequence 

 of wanting friends and fortune, 



« Et genus et virtus nifi cum re vilior alga eft."
