380 Marriages and Deaths, 
whatever, for one fingle moment, relinguifhed 
or departed from. 
Giving, as I did, all the confiderations of 
my heart to the delicacy and difficulties of your 
ficuation, nothing could have been more re- 
pugnant to my thoughts, or to my difpojition, 
than to have impofed upon you, my dear 
Brother, cither in your capacity as’ Com- 
mander in Chief, or in the near relationthip 
which fubfifts between us, the tafk, much 
lefs the expeation of caufing you-to rifque 
any difpleafure from his Majesty, by dif- 
obeying in any degree bis commands, although 
they were even to militate againit myfelf, 
But, with the impulfe of my feelings to- 
wards you, and quickly conceiving what 
friendfhip and affection may be capable of, I 
did not, Iown, think it entirely impoffible 
that you might, confidering the magnitude 
and importance which the objet carries with 
it, have officially advanced my wifhes, as a 
matter of propriety, to military rank and fub- 
JSequent command through his Majetty’s Minif- 
ters, for that direét purpofe 5 efpecially when 
the honour of my Charaéter, and my future 
Fame in life, were fo deeply involved in the 
confideration ; for I muft here emphatically 
again’repeat, °* that idle, inaéfive rank, was 
NEVER in my view, and that military rank, 
with its confequent command, was never out of 
it. 
Feeling how ufelefs, as well as ungra- 
cious, controverfy is upon every occafion, 
and knowing how fatally it operates on hu- 
man friendthip, I muft entreat that our cor- 
re{pondence, on this fubject, fhali ceafe here ; 
for nothing could be more diftreffing to me, 
than to prolong a topic, on which it is now 
clear to me, my dear Brother, that you and 
J can never agree, &c. &c.

ANSWER. 
Sir, 
By your grounding your Jetter to me upon 
intelligence which has juft reached you, I 
apprehend that. you allude to information 
which leads you to expect fome immediate 
attempt from the enemy. My with to ac- 
commodate myfelf to any thing, which you 
reprefent as material to the public fervice, 
would of courfe make me defirous to comply 
with your requeft; but if there be reafon to 
imagine that invafion will take place directly, 
I am bound bythe King’s precife order, and by 
that honeft zeal which is not allowed any 4t- 
ter fphere for its ation, to haften inftantly 
tomy Regiment. [f I learn that my con- 
ftruétion of the word “ intelligence” be right, 
I muft ceem it neceflary to repair to Brighton 
immediately. &c. d&c.
