Ile took up my cause, for I had no friends besides: I was surrounded by enemies ; but be generously stepped forward, , •and bringing the matter into a Court of Justice, I obtained • judge:resit ngainst the whsle party, including the Military Go vensor who had injured me. I proved the falsity of the charge, and stewed that the only oaject of the infernal league was to extort from me a large sum of money. " On my arrival in Petersburgle what was it fi t that I should., do? What you or any man woold have done under such circum stances. I felt myself injured in my fotstme, and above all, in my reputation. Should 1 1 not go to the Minister of Justice for the vindication of my honour? Was it nota duty I owed to my self to impeach the /dithers Governor by whose hand such tor ture had been inflicted ? 1 did so ; I made application to Count Kotzebue, then , Minister of the Interior, and I brought two charges against my persecutor; Ist, for having written A letter, the contents of which were 11119 e and foul, for the purpose of perverting justice; 'ldly, for havins detained me for aepeqsne of extortion. Count Kotzebue bad the affair investigated in., most of the departments at A rchang,el, and finding my statement accurate, he gave me a document which enabled me to bring my ease before the Senate, that a full and fair investigation might take place. It had previously devolved into the hands of Prince Chatterinsky : Minister of Foreign Affbirs„ by whom it was laid' heti - ire the Emperor,-from Whence it was transmitted to the Se pate, to be determined according to the law. Just at this period Lord Gower arrived, and I pat the papers into his hands, that they might be laid before the Senate. I continued with Mrs. Bellingham during that time, she being then at St. Pefersburgh, which I had reached. Before the Sroate 1 produced nay corn plaints. but before any. decision was had, I found myself arrested on two charges, the one criminal, and theother dad, and I was ' dra,oged from may family, thrown again into prison, where I conttaued for no leas a spate than two years! These were trials that nonld how the proudest head, and sink the noblest heart. , Think, tientiensen, what.l endured, and what was my offencel Nothiag : there was nut the shadow of proof against me. 1 was accused, hots ever, of having quitted Archangel clandestinely, !

And nll this coirM not have happened tan by the connivance of Lord L. Gower and Sir S. Shairpe.
