The report ..tates, that I was committed for want of bail. This wa: not the fact ; I had friends in Court, as the Worthy Alderman well knew, who would have bailed me to any amount. Extra judicial considerations induced the Magistrate to demand 1 24 hours notice of bail, and I was consequently remanded to the Giltspur street Compter. As to the accusation relative to the knife, Is bleb was attempted to he proved by one so litary witness, I have only to say, upon the honour of a Gentlemen, it Is false. At a future period I shall be able to prove my assertion. Fiat Justiiia runt ccelum. I am, Sir, Your Timid obedient servant, Sept. b. 1815.

" Every foreign seaman, who, in time of war, serves two years on hoard a British ship, is ipso facia nituralised." This isthe Law ; and, therefore, if it he true, as the Newspapers tell us it is, that the Government is going to send home all the foreign seamen to make room for the employment of our own, it is going to do a deed, which I will leave your Lordship, or any body else, to characterize; for I will not beggar my sentiments by doing it in the way in which alone I should dare to do it. But, i( this deed were to be done. If it were to lake its place in the list of the deeds of 1815; the conse quence would be, that the stamers, thus sent home, would be ready to man the ships and carry on the commerce of other countries, who will, now that the seas will be open again, stand in need of them.
