SAM tg. twelvemonth secretlyinsprisoned through your instrumentality. You have deliberately and repeatedly put your baud to an assertion that some person has made oath before you to an extent which involves me in the charge of high treason. You know best whether your assertion is true : I will not suspect yon of falsehood, soilless you attempt to screen this supposed verson from the penalties of the lone. I have made every effort consistent with my sense of political duty to obtain my deliverance from unmerited incarceration. Every avenue to liberty was stopped. I have been calititouiate(l in all modes, hod in all places—by the meanest hirelings of the most ex. halted suborners—some who shall be rendered amenable to the law-aby others in the senate • • • • Having endured all these wrongs, I am not of a temper that would teach me to sacrifice my reputation tier the sake of an enlargement under such conditions as are now insolently offered. I insist upon being brought to trial for the offence imputed In me, or being liberated honourably and without stain of suspicion. I cannot comprehend why I should enjoy my liberty more conditionally than any other Englishman. I will not submit to such drgra•lation. Sir Nathaniel, who hail listened with evident displeasure, now stated that his commission did not extend to any con sideration neyoutl the present offer, and that he would nut treat oil any other subject. Mr. E. join.—The subject, Sir, is my present situation. I am now in custody on suspicion of high treasou, and I will not stoop to accept of any conditional enlargement without a reaunciatioto of that groundless suspicion. You, Sir Nathan iel, have again and again put your hand and seal to a solemn legal declaration., that sonic person has appeared before vim and achuseil me of high treasou. Bring that person final, or I must conclude that you— Day, the (officer, at this juncture, rudely interposed be tweed Sir Nathaniel Conant and Mr. Evans, jun. lifting tip his arm and exclaiming,'` I will not allow Son to go on. I have joist heard your father ..orliesly insult Sir Nathiniel, and I will not allow leis son to do the same." Mr. E. jun. some what surprised at the interposition of this underling, bade him lower his arm and stand off, adding, that his interference only tended to place Sir Nathaniel in the unpleasant situa tion of .adoutttine that his artions would not hear recital with out eons enii,L 'flu midi. Mr. E. jun. was pi (weeding with Sir Nathaim.l., when Nr. Evans rt-entered the office mimed,' by the turnkey. Sir Nathaniel immediately exclaimed. •' Take him away !" Mr. Evans echoed, " take hen away ?" Mr. E. dun. advi.ed his father to depart front such sear•, and they quitted the °thee in the custody of Mr. Walter. Mr. E. on passing the staircase, animated by the 114' tural warmth of disposition, velteintoutly arraigned the our) ceedingt of the day as a wanton and designed insult, super added to the cowardly and hypocritical rakehoods fabricated against his character. Tuesday evening, between .4 and 5 o'clock, the two Evangel, fatherand sun, were liberated by special order from Lord Sidmouth, together with a Mr.:Br111)0W, who had been confined under a similar charge, and who, we believe, is a shoemaker aid resided formerly at Manchester. 3lrs. Evans who has been in the daily of visiting her son and hus band, welding Tuesday to Horsemoriger lane prison, mug at 4 o'clock, when she came away, had not the slightest notion that either of than would he libermed : but a very short time after shelled arrived at home, both her husband aid her son, who 'had been Confined about du weeks. returned. We sinderstaiud, that a eery short time after four o'clock a King's Mrssenger arrived at Horsentonger-lane Prison, with official orders from Lord Sidnionth to liberate the Mate prisoners, and directed to the Governor of the gaol. The Governor in person then went to the two Evanses and formally delivered the orders lie had received. These orders were immediately aseplied with, and they (mined the prison. An action it is said will be immediately instituted against Sir N. Conan', Young Evans is to conduct kis own cause, in buitation ut WiArier and Hone. John Roberts. John Siaigt.

The Times of Friday, gives the following from its correspondent Putts, JAN. 19.—1 n the course of last month I sent to you, and you inserted in your journal that the Emperor Alexander had written to the Duke of Wel lington, to invite him to become mediator between Prussia and France on the subject of private claims. It has been remarked, that several English, Belgian, German, and Prussian journals, which contained an ex tract from The Times, threw nevertheless a doubt upon this invitation of the Emperor Alexander. I have procured an authentic copy of the letter of the Empe ror of Russia, and I send it to you literally ; it will prove that I drew from a goodsource :" • Moscow. Ott. SO.—Placed as you are, my Lord Marshal, at the head of the military forces of tde European Alliance, you have contributed more than once, by the wisdom and moderatioa which distinguish you, to reconcile the most important interests. I have constantly addressed myself to you in all circumstances which might influence the consolidation of that order of things which was esta blished, principally in France. by your glorious exploits. Your energy in action, your prudence in council, have never ceased to pro duce the moot desirable •results " Now that the question el private claims on France acquires • critical and decided character. on account of the difficulties presented by the literal execution at the convention of November. 1 could not think it right to conceal my opinion from the Monarchs, my allies, on the mode of considering this burdensome engagement, so as to prevent its infraction, and to r.liderits execution possible. " The assertions of the French t:overnment are known to you, my Lord Marshal; my Minister at Paris has received directions to com municate to you the memorial which was drawn tip under my eyes, relative to this important question. I invite you to fix all your atten tion on the connection of the motives of right and political expedience, which are laid down in this document, in support of the principles of accommodation, which alone can simplify the complication in herent in the payment •f private debts. which were imposed upon France at a time when it was not easy to foresee their result. " You, doubtless, appreciate, my Lord Marshal, all those graver considerations which plead in favour of a system of equitable conci liation ; you will bring all the warmth of a soul elevated to the height of the occasion to a qiicstion, on which depends, perhaps, the repose of France, and the inviolability of the most sacred engage ments. Moderation and good faith have been, in our time, the sources of a healing and beneficent power ; and it is for him who pre pared and furthered the triumph, to cause to be heard, In all critical moments, the language of that same moderation, and of that Sallie gond faith. In this conviction, ifs had still a wish to express, it would be to sec you conducting, with the consent of my allies, and that of the parties interested, the principal part of the negotiation which may be opened at Paris on the question of the private claims, and on the most equitable mode of deciding it with the common consent. " Receive, Marshal, the reiterated testimonies of my entire esteem.

The master and crew took to their boat, together with a man and woman passengers, in all ten persons; when, in making for the shore, the boat swamped betwixt Collieston and Newburgh, and melancholy to relate, fire of the crew, with the two passen gers perished. The captain, carpenter, and one of the crew, with difficulty saved themselves. We are unwilling to ag. gravate the feelings of nay one concerned iu this distressing calamity ; but we must be permitted to say, that nothing but infatuation .eould'have actuated the master of this vessel to abandon her in the situation in which she lay, and to commit his own life, and the lives of those on board, to a small and insufficient boat, at a time when the slightest 'Linger could hardly have been anticipated from remaining with his ves. sel ; the proof of which is, that she Hoisted off nest tide, and was brought r sl in safety to the harbonr,and with no other damage than what arose from the negligence of the master or crew, in leaving alight burning on board, when they abandon ed the ship,.wherehy a part of her decks were consumed, a cable betreetAc.
