GENTLEMEN, I HOPE you will excufe the liberty I take of reprefenting to you my defire of ftating a few fads, which your Reports make it neceflary fliould be known. I had flattered myfelf I fliould have been fum- moned before you, and that the fame ad- vantage of explanation would have been granted to me which has been given to Sir William Howe, Earl Cornwallis, and others. This advantage I now find myfelf prelTed to folicit, not only by the apprehenfion that A 2 your ( 4 ) your commlirion may loon finally clofe, but from my having within thefc few days looked into the papers annexed to your Seventh Report, where I found fome which furprifed me very much. I ferved from the firft to the laft of the late unfortunate war in America, and was four years (out of the eight which it huled) chief in command. It would have been but fair therefore, 1 humbly prefume, to fuppofe that I not only profited by my own obfervations in fo long a fervice, but that I availed myfelf of the aid of all the ex- perience, which eflablifhment and long re- fidence had given to others whom I found there. The fad is that I certainly did foj and being aware of the poiTibility of frauds in the expenditure of the public money, I took fuch meafures as appeared to me mofl likely to prevent them. I was confcious, however, that, had I been ever fo competent to the examination of fuch complicated difburrcmentSj LS ■9) ( 5 ) difburrcmcnts, the otlier various and import- ant duties attendant on the command of a large army rendered fuch appHcation of my time totally impoflible. Wherefore I was very early anxious that a commiirary of accounts fhould be nominated to afllil me therein. Major Drummond was accord- ingly, in confequence of my recommen- dation, appointed to that oflice in February, 17793 but (through fome mifapprehenflon perhaps of the fulliciency of his powers) he did not adt until about July, 1781, which was undoubtedly of fome detriment to the fervice. t I f There are fome obfervations in your Seventh Report, which there can be little doubt but the world muft conceive to im- ply cenfure on the commar. ;;r in chief. But I am perfuaded, gentlemen, that, had you read all the papers which I tranfmitted from time to time to the Treafury, and particularly the following report of a board of ( 6 ) of general officers and magiftrates, who were employed by my order in the invef- tigation of the public accounts for feveral months ; and which repori was fent by me to the Lords of the Treafury fjx months before the date of your Seventh Report j you would not probably have introduced into it as a charge, ** That though the ** number of the forces decreafed every year *' from 1778, the ilTue for the extraordinary *' fervices of the army incrcafed i" without at lead fuffering its explanation to accom- pany it, as Hated in the report of the afore- mentioned board, under the fignature of Lieutenant General R.obertfon, whom I was induced to sppoint prefident of it, on account of his lent?: refidence in North America. You feem likewifs to impute to me as a crime, *' the not granting final *' warrants;" — from your not confidering, I prcfume, that, after a commiffary of ac- counts was nominated and adling, I could not with propriety give final warrants until the i m i-^ I Iff ( 7 ) the accounts of the rcfpcdive departments requiring them had been examined, audited, and certified by that officer. Eiit, had you been picafed to read the papers tranfmitted to the Trcafury, you would have feen I did fo, the inilant the proper certificates were annexed to them. in- ExtraB from a report made to General Sir Henry Clinton, K.

(Signed) JAMES ROBERTSON, Prefident." I come now, gentlemen, to fome other obfervations in your Seventh Report, founded upon Earl Cornwall is*s examination before you upon oath, and the orders he ilTued the 23d f; «( 1/? if li €C M i< M « w ' f C il I (( €i cc ( " ) 23d December, 1780; wliich are the papers that U) much aftonifhed me. The part of the examination which I (\k\\\ at pre- fent take notice of is in the foilovvin;' words. >» 4 ■'I the ■t. m ■# m *' Another objed of theie orders was tlie commiffarv ffi-'neral. He had ob.crved that it had been the cuilorn for the recri- mental quarter-mafters, when they re- ceived proviiions from the commilTary ge- neral, to give him receipts for a complete ration, without difilnguifliing whether it confided of provifions received from Eu- rope, or procured in the country. Whereas the latter were often got for no- thing, or at a price inferior to that of the European ration. To remedy this evil, he ifTued thofe orders relative to the com- milTary general. ** To prevent provifions taken from the " country, and either not paid for, or paid *' for at a certain price, from being charged B 2 *' to ( I* ) I'S- Ilii f: *' to the account of the public either at all, *' or at a greater price than they were pnr- '* chafed at, he appointed conimilTaries of '^ captures, who colledlcd provifionr from " the country, and gave receipts for them '* to thofe perfons only who were friends ; and delivered out thofe provifions to the troops without taking receipts for them. By which means thofe receipts only given '* to the proprietors of the provifions could ^* be brought in charge againft the public." I fubjoin likcwife the part of the orders referred to in the above examination, that the whole may be brought into one point g)f view. a m ^fi> -* ** Kcad Qijarters, Wynnefborough, 23d December, 1780. te As I ccnflder myfelf a fleward for the ** public money expended by the troops ** under my command, I think myfelf «' bound by the duty I owe my country <« to ( >3 ) at all. 1 pnr- rien of - [• frniii • them •lends ; to the them. ^ given 5 could ublic." -1 orders n, that 3 point )orough, for the troops myfelf country <« to *' to regulate the charges to be made by the " difFerent departments. **, The commiffary general is not to charge government for the complete ration deli- vered to the foldier, unlefs fuch ration is fupplied from the (lores fent from Eng- land. Whenever he delivers to them frefti provifions, he muft only charge to them the real amount of what he pays for the cattle, for vi'hich the receipts of the in- habitants will be his vouchers. The fame rule muft be ftridly obferved in the deli- very of flour and India meal." ft C( c< C( i( it cc (( C( Upon which order and examination your board is pleafed to make the following re- marks. " But we found, at one period only, orders <' relative to the point immediately under *' our confideration. Thefe orders were «« iffued by Lord Cornwallis, are dated the «* 23d ( 14 ) " 23d December, 1780, and contain matter " very important to the fubjcd: before us. ** Thefe orders are levelled at abufes at ** that time exifliing ; and thefe abufes all " tend to the defrauding of the public for ** private emolument. " We are therefore of opinion, that the '* orders of tlie 23d December, 1780, ** (hould be put in ibrce forthwith through- *' out the whole army/* Whatever impf-efrion may have been in- tended to be ^ivcn by Eail Cornwallib's or- der of the 23d December, ^7^0, and his fubfcqiieni eximi lation bctore your board ; they fetm at leaft to have produced the opi- nion in you, gentlemen, that the order rela- tive to the commiHary general's department originated with his lordiJiip, and that it was levelled at an abufe at that time exiiling, to which his lordlhip was the/;;/? who applied a remedy— I ( 15 ) a remedy— and confequently implying a cen- Aire of negled in thole who had the fupreme command in America. You will therefore not wonder at my bein^» anxious to do away any imprelTion injurious to me that your Reports (which have been fo well re- ceived by the public) may give. I have that confidence, however, in your candor, that I truft no fuch negle(5l would ever have been imputed to me, had you been pleafed to grant the fame advantage of examination to me which you gave to Earl Cornwallis. For you might then have had an opportu- nity of knowing that his lordfljip\ were not the only orders iffued relative to the point im- mediately under your confidcration j but that orders of fimilar efFcd: to thofe you are pleafed to call important (the merit of which Earl Cornwallis has aiTumed to himftlf) had been iflued by me before his lordfhip arrived in America in July, 1779, and nearly ei^^hteen months belore the date of his or- der i and that 1 had particularly endeavourc^d to I 1 ill % i 4 C i6 ) to guard againft the poffibility of the abufe in queftion, by giving all necefTary orders for that purpofe before I quitted Charleftown in June, 1780, when I left his lordlhip in that command. So that there could not have been the lead neceflity for Lord Corn- wallis's order of the 23d December, 1780, as far as regards the commifTary general, if the previous orders given by me had been properly attended to by his lordfhip. You would have likewife known, gentlemen, that, though I might not have thought it right to aflert the exiftence of flao;rant abufes without competent proof, yet, judging it pofTible that all the frefli provifions taken from the enemy might not always have been carried to the public credit, I appointed commiflliries of captures on the 14th Fe- bruary, 1780, with the intention of fupply- ing the army with captured provifions gratis, and of faving the public proviiions. From that day, at leafl: as long as my orders were obeyed, all the frelli provifions taken from the ( 17 ) the enemy were iflued lo the troops by the commilTaries of captures done, and a great faving accrued in confequence to govern- ment and the troops*, as may better appear by inferting extradts from the orders, 6cc. of that period.
