TO THE EDITOR 01 I'll B .1110. N. 41, REGISTER. Castro- rect, Lrirester-qpare, Oct. 7, 1608. SlR,—Having recently arrived in this country from New South Wailes, it was only this day that a friead showed mo a letter which appeared in your paper of Sunday Inc '2cl instant, addressed to Sir Joseph Hanks. However reluctant I may be to obtrude an v observations mine to public notice, respecting the late tr:lwactions in tn. t distant colony, y et I think it in) as the sun of a much injured and persecuted father, to transmit you a copy of my answer, trusting you will have the candour to give it inset. tion. EPIC ARD JP A firm. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOSI , PH RANKS, . 647 Stn,—A most extroortl'intry letter Nilsen! t.d in The :N . ir , otell Register of Sunday the inst. tattler the ,egraitire of Mew... James ‘Vashitigton, addressed to you, rind intended, us Ire writer .says, to be submitted for the information of his Ala. jest. Of Mr. Washington I know nothing more V; • this fetter tells me; but-1 thiuk too highly, Sir. of your w;sdont i.nd db. cretion to suppose fur a mmuent that you are likely, us one of his Majesty's Privy Council, to commit youtNelf, .r.rer.t. public question, w Welt must at no distant iteriod be le laid before the proper 'ft Omuta'. Such a pr.•ecedim., 1;• lire under any circumstances, would he unjustifiable founded upon no other evidence than the assertion 4 dividual, who does nut even state himself to have been • at the transactions in question, and whose stateinet.', t intentionally untrue, can he made only on ex paste inform. statement, which to my remain know led ; :e is in snail points utterly false, and a palpable mis•represelitation c,f facts, even where it assumes the semblance of truth. The injustice of attending to such suggestions would in , yet more inexcusable, when it is considered that the private cioaroe, tern of many individuals, most of them hearing his Nlajrsty commission, are therein most grmisly attacked, whi!,t they arc at the distance of many thousand angles Pn the public set vice, and have in consequence nu opportut,ity of defending them selves. It is not my intention to enter into any discussion relative n the proceedings of the Officers and others concerned in the arrest of Governor Bligh. On this subject facts will speak for themselves, when they come to he investigated. Nly concern is of a more private nature, and though a youth, I should deem myself an unworthy son of a much honoured father, if I could see his name traduced in a public paper as an incendiary, without saying whit: I know to he true, namely, that Mr. Nkashiagton's insinuation is an atrocious f eu's? ny. If it.. WArthur has at any time differed in opinion with the flo‘ernnes in New South IVltle4, I have no hesitation in assert thnt upon a strict investigation of every such difference, it will he fonnd that the welfare of the colony, and i!le honour and prosperity of his Nlaiery's Government, hase inv •riably influenced his conduct. Barely, therefore, opet: an of. in *hie' he is no otherwise a party than from having sit.' .d much personal injury and violent persecution titi6-r rove-nor Bligh's government, while purvni.ig the same clear and ho nourable line of fondue. the assertion; of an itul•%idtittl, ac tuated from motives which arc at present beyond detection, nitol fail in biassing an impartial public. The official discussions of the late trawaetions in New south Walci will in due time place them •be , :: , re the Will , • until then men or dist ernment will do well to suspend their i:iclonent, and above all to receive with distrust those endeavours .0 pre possess their minds through the medium of the pres, which arc .a general ardirations of it weak cause. frafin 511.41titira.
