direction of Marquis Welleflcy, in fome of the 
moft important negociations that took place 
during the adminiftration of that Nobleman. 
Although Lieut.-Col. Kirkpatrick was, in

purpofe of conferring with the late Marquis

Defcended frorn one of the principal families

1798 and 1799, rendered fervices of fuch cri- 
tical importance as to attra the approbation 
and concurrent applaufe of the Britifh Govern-
