8375. TERNANT (J. B.), Soldier.—

Ternant
established a solid reputation in Europe
by his conduct when Generalissimo of one of
the United Provinces, during their late disturbances;
and it is generally thought that if he
had been put at the head of the principal province,
instead of the Rhingrave de Salm, he
would have saved that cause.—
To John Jay. Washington ed. ii, 572.
