Mr. Hastings did not hastily withdraw his confidence from Colonel Leslie, but he was at length compelled to admit that his conduct was indefensible. He was therefore recalled, and Lieutenant-Colonel Goddard¹ was appointed to succeed to the command of the army, but prior to the date of the order of recall, Colonel Leslie had died of a fever on the 3d October, 1778.
