Congress, passed on the 29th day of Janua®

Among the warious official duties devolv-

faction in the performance of this, and at

tothe gallantry and good conduct of those
whom it was uiy geod fortune to command,
ratber than to my personal skill, and that
T owe this distinction more to the generos-
ity of congress than to my own merit; but
this very consideyatien will animate my fu-
ture efforts to justify the distinction which
my country has deigned to confer on me. &
