		UNITED STATES, May 31, 1790. Gentlemen of the Senate. Mr. de Poiery served in the American Army for several of the last years of the late war as secretary to MajorGeneral the Marquis de Lafayette, and might probably at that time have obtained the commission of captain from Congress upon application to that body. At present he is an officer in the French national guards, and solicits a brevet commission from the United States of America. I am authorized to add, that while the compliance will involve no expense on our part, it will be particularly grateful to that friend of America, the Marquis de Lafayette. I therefore nominate M, de Poiery to be a captain by brevet. Go. WASHINGTON.
