" Evening Aultisconcuta" frum the Year 1604, may be hid. Six—The assertion in your last Review, that lids is the second time within two years that I have been honoured by your enmity, is quite correct; and I begiu by acknow !edging Ibis solitary truth in your entire article. I appealed to the public in the first Matinee; I du so now imam, quite clement, even though the same derision should provoke the third invective of mortified self-suMciency. You have cons- . booed with mine, in thi s renewe d at t ac k, t h e name o f M r. Finlay; a man ahuvc both my defeuer and your accusation. Be amused, his character stands much too high to be af fected by the Pieter of an habitual liteelier. lu the context between us you hare a great advantage; the concealment of your name giver a curressey Its the scandal, which might 1w deprived of all credit by its disclosure. It is said, in deed, that you nre a measlier of the Scottish bar, but I casuist believe it ; if you were, you would know too well, mid I hope estimate you generously, the dispiriting digital!. lies of that profession, to 'ltem'', to crush a young man just struggling upon its threshold. You would have felt that no adventitious diseouragements were necessary; that rompeliti eeee , envy, and the ahstraseness of the science, were in themselves asefficient ; sod you would not have disgraced your high pre/hoodoo, by soliciting the wages of mercenary derooori„,. If disappointment even didsour you into a cynic, and that you questioned the talents which you could not emulate, your caluentson would have taught you, at least the princi ples of a Gentleman, and you w ou ld h ave disda i ned to sub statute falsehood fur farts, and pee siessalities for criticism. However, your name or your professiun is of little conse quence ; you have surrendered the one for the mean trade of wholesale calamity, and you are very right out to consign the other to infanta, ley its publication. 1 shall now, Sir, just etcansine a passage or two in the article before no., that the public may sae how admirably the spirit its sehich it asiginampal ',airborne -follerwirtf up by Its veracity. You first accused me of having peed al speeches; you then affected satisfaction that your false. hood was exposed ; nod immediately after this extorted re traction, you reiterate Olt me the refuted charge of profes sional " euipiracisne.'•—" The confidence." you say, " which dictated this publication, was a plant of an sickly growth." What a right the man who produced this sublime and novel image has to accuse sue of metaphor! Now let us see what it was which really did "dictate this publication." Early in my profession, I had made a speech, which, very soon after its delivery, was reported in the Newspapers 'flee publication was, in many respects, a mu tilated a n d incorrect one; but I hail caused a very ample ver dict fur my client, null was, it appears, too culpably negligent of my personal reputation. The speech, sack as it was, was instantly printed by 110 less than three* different uncon nected booksellers in Loudon, and by the provincial printers in tannest every town in England. I appeal to each 44'11141W gentlemen, whether I inside to him the slightest personal comennuication—whether the pulelicatiois was out au expe riment for the purpose of his own individual profit—whe ther he had ever seen my face, or submitted a proof sheet fur my currection—•lsether, it, short, to oar your owe phrase, it was " my confidence" or leis own onsolicited en terprise, wheal dictated the ieraceediug ? $4) say I was nut gratified by this, as it was, singular distiliction, would be adopting your sawn example, anal saying!. what MSS not true. It slid give me greet gratification, a feeling in au way dated isished by the reflection that Ile moral of that speech at !cast, more than equalled its imaginary merit. 1 even sub mitted silently, on that accosted, to the additional piracy of an Edo:Omagh publisher, and as I never blame Huy thing that is national, I foresee hum his rapnedy. But though I submitted to Scotch Mosey, I hail no idea of conuteisaucitio Scotch misrepresentation. Yon instantly pounced ou the little pamphlet, attacked it virulently, as an authorised publicatiots, and visited tiptoe me the rouse. quetaces of your try's avarice.

You attacked Lord Byron, and he chastised, lather than shamed you into a recantatiots.
