EASI-INDLI Pill RONAGE. EXCHANGE OF THE WRITERSHIP FOR THE SEAT IN PARLIANIENT. It appears that after REDING had dosed his nego ciation ith Lords CASTLEREAGH and CLANcAwry, he " :unused" Mr. LIVIE by pretending to have other resources for the procurement of a Writership for his relation, and that REDING applied, " among others," to Mr. LustoNGToN, promising to get him into one of the seats of the Marquis of BATH, a Nobleman to whom his very name was not known, if Mr. L. Mould procure the Writership from.his father, Sir STU LIEN Mr. ROBERT Are you acquainted with Mr. Peter Abbott ?—No. Do you know me Reding ?—Yes. llow long have you known him ?—1 think it must be upwards of three years. Up o n what ace:Alan did yogi first become acquainted with him ? .--From an advertisement in the newspaper. What was the substance of that advertisement ?—That a per son had it in his power to obtain an appointment for Bengal or India ; in consequence of which .Mrs. Livie answered the rote, and a person Came to her, and, I think, it was under the name of 'Yahoo rdin, or siAne such name as that; it was addressed, I think, from blookhanf:, in Bond-street. Mrs. Livie answered the note, and said she shoal,: be glad to have an intervi.m ; a person c: me in cou;equenco, while I was absent•from home, and said that he had received a note nom her; she said, sbe presumed his me was Tahourdit:; he said, Not quite so Ma'am, my name is Davis. —A conversat.on NV a S entered into then, re-Feting this Writer ship to India, ond Davis said that he had the means of in troducing me or her to a gentleman who had that at his com mand. she made an appointment for Mr. Davis to be at my Louse at seven the stone evening, and to meet me ; in con sequence of which he did come at seven, and was introduced; and he said In had this appointment to ; ]ive away; and l wished It for a very near relation of Mrs. Livie's; we then went into the terms. Was any other person present, excepting Davis., yourself, and Mrs. Line think not ; it was just as we had done dinner, and were bong up into the drawing-room; I cannot charge my me mcri with any other person being present. What bargain did you make with Davis?—He was to have $.;(1.1. or guineas—which it was I cantle recollect. _ Wac atTy w ritttni eng.tgeruent or memorandum entered into ? --Yes, there W lA, .:at has bLconle of that memorandum ?—Davis took it away wide him that evening; he made an appointment for me to be in his house, in Northumberiand-street, in the Strand, next rttorr , nr, wlitti I was to take the young gentleman with me to be introducA to his ii.r.d, who had the patronage. When I came there, he said he had sent to-the gentleman, and that there was some alteration he wished to make in the agreement I bad signed, and that it would make no material difference. It was putting the sum he was to have himself, and that which some other persons were to have, separate; it would make no differ ence with me, only separating it. 'the thing fell to the ground,and the engagement aas of no consequence ; I never thought al it afterwards. Have you no copy of it ?—None; I did not keep any copy. ' Were you intruaticed by Davis, at any subsequent time, to any person who was 6i procare this appointment ?—Yes,when I came down to his house, at half past tea, he skewed me the agreement 1 had signed The preceding night, with the alteration he had made teat murniag ; 1 mad it over, ard round it to be the same, and I signed it. lie then said he had sent to the party who was to meet me, but he couid not come then, and he had appointed him to meet me at my counting-house in the city. I declieed do ing that, thinking a counting-house not a place for such a transac tion as that, and I appointed to meet him at Lloyd's Coffee-house. Who came with Davis at that time ?-I‘lr. Keding; that was the firs: time of my seeing Reding. Do you recollect, in the amended memorandum, in what sums the money was distributed, and fur whose use %—1 really do not know; 1 know part was for the use of Davis; I do not kt ow whether he was to have more or to have less; there was a cum of money to be paid in cash; he was to have his by a note horn rte, I think, at twek a or bitten months ; then he thought, 1 trtheve, anerwards, a.; there was £2t;oo of money to be p:id, that he uti c in as well have a lit, le of the cash and a hal of he credi: ; tome proportion of the money, whether two or torte, or five hundred pout.ds, I cannot tell, was to come to hint ; tI at snaking nu alteration to me, I signed it. I think in the hist ag, emetic he wauld have nu cash, for nine, twelve, or eightetn moat he. Can you nut recollect any of the names that were to partici pate is the solo to be divided ?-1 really cannot charge toy me wary ; when we met in the Committee room at Lloyd's, Mr. Reding seemed to tett a little indignation of the meeting being at a Calie•ohouse, and, I believe, some words passed between Mr. Davis and lam; and when we l a n into the Committee room we went on with the discussion. Ail. Reding said, it he had been satisfied about the mati.er, he wstild have brought the card of appointmen; m his pocket, bat that he wished to see how matters were List. into the Mishit:s:i. I said, I think, there is ?a OW. iihaa.:y to be gtv, n, and lay( 1. more, making in thewhole 35001. Reding said, ? what do you mean by that ? the sum is only atamo guineas. That brought on a discussion between Davi. aml Redina, which ended in a quarrel, and from that hour to this I never saw Davis. Mr. Riding was extremely indignant that Mr. Davis was going to iinpusa upon me, by getting out of me 3.;C01. being live hundred more than he was to participate in ;' it ended to a violent quarrel. lie said it appeared to be al collu sion ; I stopped him and explained the circumstances which had passed wits Davis ; he appeared to be perfectly satisfied with tint, but said that Davis had used him extremely ill, and that he would Lave Puthina tat ire to do with Davis. 1 said, will you deal wimii ? and he give me his card, and 1 gave hint mine, and we were to meet the next day. Davis remained behind, and was extremely irritated, and said he was satisfied Reding had the appointment, but seemed to hint 1 should be cautious how I pro tecaaal ; and further added, that he (Davis) had often attempted to negaciate a evritership, and had never succeeded. 1 was pres sed for time, and said, a, the flatter ended in that sort of way, I wished him good morning, and never caw him since. He atter• wards audressed a letter to me about what had passed, to which I gala: no reply. Did you require of him your engagement back ?—I never thought of ii alia; hint for that, or seeing any thing about it ; Airs. I.ivie said, once or twice, you had better get it back ; but thous lit it of Ito consequence, the thing ha Ara; dropped. llnwc loin; ttttt rwaret, did you see Reding ?—We went on for opvairds o; six months; almost every day lie was teazing 1 he itt at day Le came, :and he said he should he glad if the young rentluithai and I would nail him on the Friel my. Whether thts sv.‘s a I.( May or Wednisday I cannot say ; and that he would rail upou , and see went under the piazzasat the Royal Exchange, aial wit' :!ore halt an hour ; he told rue he was going up to locos 1.•. r.. t'laiiraity, from whom he was to get the appoimment, Ilan lie ss isaed we would metcr him at the Salopian Coffee- Youse at a ,ar o'ch,ck, which we did. He came in, and said, 1 a. ill step to his Lordship in the Board of Controul, and he went, and was alisen, about a quar.er of an hour, amid he said his Lord s:lip Was very busy, that he was to breakfast with his Lordship the mat morania. .1 he miaturday he came to say, he saw no ob jection to this ntlenian passing at the India House on the next Weontaday. On the Tuesday following, just as Mrs. Livie and toy siat had sat down to dinner, 1 thud: at near six o'clock, he rv,:s si:eut: up to the thawing room, and we went up to him ;lm s..id Lord laucarmy did not choose to part with the wind:halloo till he was seated in l'artament, ~m 1 that he would keep the staff in his own amid, and therefore the thing was done a, v ay with tor the present. Ile then w e nt o n f rom d a y to d ay tollingupon me and troubling troubling me a good deal, and he gut a sum of money ;loin me ; it was with th.: cun:cia ut the parties who were to obtain that he gof the loan of 3001. which was to go In payment for the ,ippointmei.t ; he went on with amusing stories, otying that l.ord llancarty's business was at an end, and lord Clancar:y was going out of Administration, and that th tido); must fall :o the ground ; then he said that he had other means of doing it ; and he I s rou,;ltt Inc one story and another, and 1 think it ended in his a iong to Ma. Lushington of the Temple ; in fact, I gut sit tired of it that I said I would have nothing more to du with it. I understood that he tried several persons, saying, that • it they could effect this, lie would put them into Yarliatlitn:t ; aad, among others, he went to Mr. Lushington, and tried to get self to give him a writersleip of Ids father a, sayitig that h e woulii ) at him, I think , into one ut the seats belonging to the Marquis of a ,the It was not the Marquis of Sligo ?—No, he was to get Lord .. aaaa ny igto Watt WF [lac burvuillas of the litaritat4 Mr. Inshington and he had certainly gone en to negoefate, and I believe that " Mr. Lusbington had gone so far as to say, tnat if he would give him a seat in the House of Commons, he would give him a writership for Bengal ;" and one morning he called upon Mr. Luskington, and said, I have just left Lord Boston who desired his respects to Mr. Lushington, and that he might, with great safety, give him the card; he had taken the young Gentleman and introduced him to Mr. Lushington. Mr. Lush hgton, I tealerstood, was a good deal staggered with this, and said, I must go to my father, who is down at Wimbledon, and I will get the card and give it you to-morrow. He did not like Reding's manner and method ofguing forward, and he determined to go and try to find Lord Boston, and I think his Lordship was just gone nut of town, and that he traced him travelling four teen miles ft otn town, stopping to change horses or to dine, and that he sent up his name, and that his Lordship received him ; and that he mentioned having received a message from him that morning by Mr. Reding, and begged to know whether it was cor rect, that he was to be put into this seat in the House of Com mons. Lorti*Boston said, he never had heard of the name of Reding, nor knew that there was such a being in existence. In consequence of which, Mr. I.ushington went immediately to Nlr. Reding's house, and very nearly, I believe, threw him out of the window, enraged at being dt.ped in such a way ; and he immediately sent a message to my house, saying, he feared we had fallen into very bad hands, and cautioning me against him ; and the next morning he came down to my house, and explained the circumstances. I said, this will not do ; it is discreditable to have any thing to do with such a man as this, and I will not ap pear in the thing any more; and the thing ended. I wished to get the mot.ey back from Reding that he had Had the loan of; be hummed and hawed ; I wanted an acknowledgment ; I said, I am not in want of the money at present, but if you will give me a tune at four months, that will do for me; he gave Ire a note at four months ; when it came due, it was not paid, and I put it into the hands of irly solicitor, and he Is vow in custody upon it. Has the young Gentleman ;procured any appointment since ? Yes; not in that way: the young gentleman, who was bred to the medical profession, did not like it, and I got him into the Seo-k Exchange; he got himself into some difficulties, making some time bargains, and there were deficiencies that were made up by his friends; he was taken out of that situation, and after that he 'married a young woman without our knowledge, of very I respectable parents, but no property ; and he had none. Mrs. I.ivie had de:ermined upon his returning to his medical profession; and after he had gone again to his studies, and got his diploma from Surgeon's Flail, the next thing was to get him info practice, and it was suggested his going to India as an assistant surgeon. I went to my triend Mr. Thomas Parry, who was the only person in the Direction I was acquainted with; I told him I wished very much fur an appointment to Bengal, as aa assistant surgeon : he I told me ii he had it in his power he would give it me with great pie:mire, and he did give it me, and he went accordingly. Did you ever pv Mrs. Reding ?—She I.as been once or twice at my heuse eince this transaction. Mrs. Livia called there one 1 morning; she was very impatient about the business not being done, and she took him in the carriage, and insisted upon know ing whether he was nut playing a trick. lle went to Spring Gar ! dens, and Lord Clancarty was not at home, and he left a note.— ; She never was at the house but that time, and I never was within his doors. He called upon me, amusing me in various ways, but I never associated with him at all. I had heard some strange things respecting him, just about the dine Mr. Lushington acrd Ihe were in treaty. lie sent me a hate the day before I arrested him ; he came that mornieg, and 4sked whether I had received note ; I said yes ; and he asked whether there a hare with It ? I said yes ; he seemed to think it very hard I should proceed against him. Had you any other transaction respecting this young gentle man ?—Mrs. Livie was so anxious, that she put an advertisement herself in the paper. There was a note left with the grocer re ferred to, saying that he had an appointment, and that she should have it for 3560 guineas; this was from a person who has been examined at the House of Commons,-Mr. Vonovan. There was a person who was clerk in the house of Messrs. Gregg and Cor field, in the City, who came to negotiate this business ; however it ended in nothing; and then, about a month after that, Mrs. Livie saw the advertisement from Mr. Tahourdin. Have you any reason to suppose that either Mr. Donovan or Mr. Reding had any appointment in his power ?—Donovan I never saw himself; Mrs. Livie saw him. As to Reding, 1 thought it possible he might have means of doing it in the way he mentioned, as having two seats in Parliament; and 1 certainly gave it the chance of succeeding. Mrs. Livie was so extrenNly anxious to get something for this young gentleman, I was desi rous of doing every thing I could to forward her views, and to serve this young man. I had reason to suppose, after the first wick, or ten days, that he had not it in his power; he might have tricked Mr. Lusbington in the way he attempted, but beyond that he had not it in Lis power, I am sure. Was the name of Mrs. Grove mentioned ?—Yes, I think that was the name, a Mrs. Groves or Mrs. Jellerirs ; he told nit a variety of things, and among the rest that this money s% as to go to purchase a commission fur a young gentleman in the army ; that he was only the agent in the business. Did he say at any time that the appointment was to be procured through any one, t xcept Lord Clantarty ?—Never. Yon undo-stood it he did obtain it, it was through Lord Clan catty, not by Mrs Grove?—No, he pretended to have a direct communication with Lord Clancarty ; that tke money was to go to a lady, and very likely to Mrs. L;ruvr, for the purchase of a commission. Did you ever hear him mention the name of the Marquis of aligo as connected with this transaction ?—No, nut as connected with this transaction ; but he spoke of the Marquis of Sligo and the Marquis Cornwallis and others as being his friends, and that he drank his claret with them. STEPHEN LUSUINGTON, ESQ. L.L. D. A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE. Do you know Mr. Reding ?—Yes. What was the occasion of your first acquaintance with him ? Mr. Reding, as I think, about three years ago came to my cham bers, and told me he was sent by the Marquis of Bath, who had a person he was particularly interested to provide for, and that the Marquis of Bath had authorised him to offer me a seat in Parliament for Weob!y, for s:•ven years complete, independent of all obligation, in Parliament ; in c,nsequetice of this, " I men mentioned it to my nclizr, and my father desired I would find out who Mr. Reding was, and whether it was true or not ;" in consequence of his directions I took pains to discover, and I found that Mr. Reding was a rank impostor; that the Marquis of Bath never did authorise him, and that he had done this for the purpose of obtaining money from some person or other; I believe t communicated this to my father, but it was only a few months before his death, and for three years before his death, he was not well above three months out of the twelve; that was the end of it. What did Mr. Reding sta e to you that the Marquis of Bath required for his friend, for whom he was so much interested ? A 11:ritership. Did you mention this circumstance to Sir Stephen Lushington? —Certainly, it was by his wish I went further in the business. Did Mr. Reding understand from you that a Writership would be at the disposal of the Marquis of Bath's friends, provided the seat in Parliament could be obtained I—Mr. Reding caned one morning, and told me be had seen Lord Bagot that morning, and that Lord Bagot had informed him that the Marquis of Bath was reiady to put in execution his offer to me, if I would give him the card-1 then asked the name of the person for whom it was in tended; for my apprehension at first was, that it was a natural son of the Marquis; he told me a name which I have forgotten, and that the character of the young man might be learned some where in Lamb's-Conduit -street; in consequence of his men tioning Lore! Bagot I inquired whether I.ord Bagot was in town. I found he had quitted town that morning on his road for Staf fordshire ; it appeared to me, from this circumstance, very proba ble that he had seen Lord Bagot ,as he had stated that he was gene to Stafford; however I followed Lord Bagot, and he stated that he did not know the Marquis of Bath nor Mr. Reding, and I in formed the lady in Lamb's-Conduit-street (I think her name was Livie) I was unwell in the evening, and she came down to my chambers, and'she informed me it was a relation of hers, and pressed me extremely upon the subject ; I did not give her pre cisely the answer I should to a gentleman, and she requested I would call upon her afterwards, which I did; and when I next SAW M;. Reding, I said, you saw Lord Bagot on such a day ; be said yes; I said it was rather extraordinary, for Lord Bagot did not we you. I never saw him since; except one day, meeting hint in the street, he attempted to stop me; I said you are a scoundrel, and walked on. I understood from Mrs. Livie, that he had obtained money from her, but I cannot state positively that it was on the subject of this Writership, for she told me he gave some security or other, some deeds or some papers. D%d the whole of your negotiation with Reding relate to the exc.eange of a seat in Parliament for a Writership I—Certainly, bad not the slightest knowledge of him by sight, flute, or any thing else tiY ho called upon me.

A Diploma from the College of Surgeons in London, and Testimonihls, from the most eminent Physicians and Lectu rers of regular education and assiduous attention to the studies of every branch of their profession, :are open to the inspection of any inquirer, and constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented suc cess with which they have hitherto been so liberally honoured. In recent cases of the Venereal Disease, the cure is almoq in stantly completed without pain. In the most complicated >tagea where other Practitioners have failed, they offer a safe and a per manent re-establishment. In those distressing Deficiencies which arc caused by a secret solitary habit, or by too much indulgence in the rites of Venus or Bacchus, even in the most deplorable stages of Debility, a ptop2r perseverance in their plan ensures to the Patient a restoratiou to vigorous health.

The variety of diseases that prevail at this season of the year, generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitiated stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest confi dence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalled medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and cure for numerous diseases,particularly the land and sea scurvy, cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any part of the body, leprosy, eruptions alter the small pox or measles, inflamma tion in the eyes, St. Anthony's tire, rheumatism and rheumatic lgout, slow, nervous, and intermitting levers, and all the long train of disorders which attend the scurvy internally. Remarkable care of a cancer in the face, whereby rreat part of the nose was consumed, the face and eyes dreadfully inflamed, and the head distracted with pain, which facts were verified on the oath of Win.

Croitt, late of the borough of Sakash, but now of the borough of Plymouth, in the county of Devon, do voluntarily make oath, that I was afflicted with a cancer in my face for up wards of ten months ; I had a very painful wound seated in my nose, the greatest part of my face was dreadfully inflamed, attended with the most acute pain that could be endured—my head was also distracted with pain, and my eyes so severely affected that I could not bear the light, and (Adige(' me to sit whole days tope ther with my head on my knees or some other support. During my affliction I tried various medicines, as well from the faculty as others, without receiving the least relief, and the disease increased daily; worn out with pain,, no prospect of relief, and having exhausted the earnings of many hard years labour, I was a:most reduced to a state of despondency, when I was advised to make trial of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscorbutic Drops : the strong recommendation of those who had received cures from the medi cine, gave me hope it would succeed, and this hope was realized ; by the time I had taken the second bottle the pain entirely left ene, the wound daily got better, and by the time I had taken five bottles, I gained a perfect cure.
