After five years' service he obtained his discharge, with the most reputable certificates. By this time our "adventurer" had much improved and informed his mind, by reading such books as he could procure; so that, having settled in America, he set up in the trade, occupation and calling of an author. He possesses good natural parts; and, had he not aspired to the character of a wit, a satirist, and a politician, he probably would not have had so much reason to complain of enemies,-evil-minded people, who have vilified his reputation, and represented him as no better than a 'fugitive felon.'"
