It is with concern we mention the heats and jealousies that have arisen in this<br />
place, from some imprudencies that have been committed, and from the unlucky<br />
incidents that frequently happen in the neighbourhood <strong>of</strong> an armed force. <strong>The</strong><br />
repetition <strong>of</strong> little occurrences <strong>of</strong> this nature generally serve for no other purpose<br />
than to inflame. It is however some little consolation to us, exposed as we are,<br />
with the rest <strong>of</strong> our country, to the unhappy designs <strong>of</strong> a certain person and his<br />
tools, that we can with so much justice pay the full tribute <strong>of</strong> respect to the uninterrupted<br />
tenour <strong>of</strong> capt. [John] Macartney's conduct, so exemplary for humanity,<br />
benevolence, and the first preservation <strong>of</strong> order and discipline.<br />

undergoing a strict examination by Lord Dunmore<br />
