with a copy of your letter to him, and I am
now under arrest. I have reflected' seriously
on' your censures, and would, before J sulfer
for my offence, suggest some thoughts for your
Majesty's consideration. ' - I v !
Of me it is said- the Count is of an im
perious character, proud of-his birth, ful of
fls'e ideas of honor.' On reflection, I:ahV con-,
vinced that this opinion is correct... ,But, Sire,
my 4 falser ideas of honor' were the fruit of
that education which I received' in your service
they are such as are. generally Jpossessed; by
military officeiv; and perhaps they are pot
more false than those 4 ideas of honor' which
sovereigns entertain, exemplify, land applaud.
Why should it be thought less honorable fojr a
man to fight valiantly in his own quarrels, than
to fight in the quarrels of his Prince i And if
quarre lling and fighting between i wo officers,
is shameful or wicked, what shall be said of
rthe wars of Princes ? ' V ' 1 -
Of my antagonist, your majesty has said,
Capt. W. is an old soldier, ihinks of settling
every thing by sword and pistol.- What (bet
ter could reasonably have been expected of an
old soldier,', who has been trained to blobd ?
And has tie not the example of all the Princes
J of Europe to Counterbalance him in settling his
disputes with weapons of death I Or is it more
honorable to murder men with cannon j and
muskets, than with .sword and pistoH Orjis it
less unjust, or less horrid, r sovereigns to
call forth armies of innocent: men ahd cause J
them to murder one another, to settle sme
frivolous dispute, thmn for two gentlemen to
settle a controversy, equally frivolous, by fight
ing their own battle ? r 1 ; ; K
, . Your Majesty expresses a 4 high esteem
for those officers who expose themselves jcou-.
rageously to the enemy, and who, on all occa
sions slvow themselves intrepid valiant, and
determined in 'attacks as welfas defence. Oi
these you say the indifference with " which
they face death .is henorable to themselves,
and useful to their country.', V-.-V. 'v'
' "I was once of the same opinion, but reflec
tion has convinced me that these -are false
ideas.V For the wars of princes are as need-
less as the combats . ot duellists.; esiaes ai
'ways on one part, if not on ! both, a war is po
sitively unjust and oiurderous'; aud I ; cannot
think that it ought to be deemed either, 4 hono-
i rable to themselves' or 4 useful to their country,'
for men with 4 indifference,; to facedeath, in
unjustly attempting to destroy their brethren.
. There are men', says your majesty, who are
ready to sacrifice every things to a spirit of re-!
venge and hatred.' V;T :v.t" "f" .
V 4 ThisaV meant; of 1 duellists ; but is it not
in fact more applicable to warring pripces ?
Duellists indeed sometime sacrifice, their! own
lives, & the happiness of relations and friends.
But in . thdr combats Ithere isnb burning ;or
