I see' the probability stated of some connexion having subsisted between Justus and the late Lord AMHERST, especially about the time when the conduct of Ministers, in depriving - Abe latter of his government in America, and of his com missions in the army, was so warmly resented by, Jettsrus under the signature of Lucius. You think it " absurd to suppose that Sir J EFFERY did not know who so ably defended his cause, particularly as•JuNtus bad not then been drawn into the controversy with Sir WM. DRAPER, and consequently had no motive for concealing him self from Sir JBFFERY AMHERST." But I fear your expectation from this circumstance is less solid titan you deem it to be. If Justus had written the letters relating to Sir JEFFERY in his own name, I should have thought it possible that Sir JEFFERY possessed the knowledge you impute to him ; for JUNIUS might then have revealed himself to him, not considering that in a little time he should have reason to repent this confi dence : and yet this supposition will not serve, for why should he not ehenge his assumed title as often as necessity required ? But, in fact, the probability of his having been at that time known to Sir J. is even less strong than I am here snp eosing; for the letters in question were signed Lucius, and the name of JUNIUS was not once adopted till after these letters had ceased : there fore, if Sir J. knew who Lucius was, he would still have to learn that JuNtus also was the same person ; and this, after the concealment of the latter, became highly necessary, for his life was endangered, as he thought, after the publication of his first letter. I grant it is well known now that the letters of Lucius and JuNius were writ ten by one hand, but this knowledge was not communicated to the world till the appear ance of the Miscellaneous Letters of JUNIUS in 1512, 15 years after the death of Lord AMHERST. Throughout these transactions concerning Sir JEFFERY" AMHERsT, it appears to me that Lucius had other motives than friendship to influence him, and better means of obtaining information titan from Sir JEFFERY. He knew that Lord CHATHAM would feel the injury done to his fa vourite officer and friend, as an insult offered to himself, and to get him away from the Adminis tration, in which he was but 'nominally concern ed, and which was supported in public opinion chiefly by the credit at his countenance, was an object of great interest to JUNius, and one which he (lid not cease pursuing till it was ac complished. To suppose that th writer was also moved by indignation at the treatment Sir JEFFERY met with, is only to put him on a level with every other man in the kingdom. But his means of acquiring the knowledge of what Mi nisters intended to do, is the most wonderful part of the affair. We find that instead of gaining his information from the iajured party,who woeld be the last to hear it, he knew of the design to deprive 'Sir :JEFFERY of his regiments from its very first motion, before Sir JEFFERY could have any suspicion of it,—before even the Cabinet were all apprized of it, or the measure itself was fully resolved on. In his letter to Lord HILLSBOROUGH, dated Sept. I, 1765. we find these words :—" Your last assertion is, that his regiments are not given away. It is a matter of perfect in difference. Yet the public has reason to believe that Colonel HOTHAM is now Colonel of the 15th Regiment, and that the Commission of Com mandant only waits until it shall be determined whether General GAGE shall be recalled or not." All this is very minutely stated, bet the public knew nothing of it before, nor-was the intelli gence true at the time, for the commission to Colonel HoTHAm was delayed, as well as that of General GAGE. On Sept. 20, these appointments are hinted at again, but very distantly :—" You have sent Sir JEFFERY AMHERST to the plough." The writer, I conceive, felt that he had gone too far at first ; and 1 wonder that this want of cau tion did not lead to his discovery. On the 22d, the facts are boldly re-affirmed in the following paragraph of The Public Advertizer :—" Certain though extraordinary intelligence. Our corres spondent Lucius has been too well informed, when he assured the public that Sir JEFFERY AM HERST, to whom this country is so. ninth indebt ed for his services during the lat,‘-kltirious war, had been, by our wise and worthy gAllVitratiOn, sent to the plough ; for yesterdayVvias publicly declared at Court., that Colonel LIoTHAm was ap pointed to the 15th Regiment of Foot, and that Major-General CAGE was honoured with the chief command of the 60th, or Royal American Regi ment." This was incorrect again, as to the de claration at Court ; and the facts, once more, were prematurely communicated ; for SitsJEFFERY was not deprived of his Regiments till more than a month after. They were given to Colonel 1-lo- THAM and General GAGE on the . 29th of Octo ber, and The Gazette of Nov. 5 contains the first official notice of the transaction. But this step was so instantly repented of, that within three days following Sir JEFFERY was re=appointed Co loud in Chief of the 60th Regiment, and Colonel of the 3(1 Buffs. Justus was guilty of a similar instance of in discreet anticipation, from measures originating in the War-Office, when he announced the pro motion of Colonel LUTTRELL, which did not take place at all, though the first forms were gone through. "By the Royal fiat, the appoint ment was delayed in its progress through the of fices of the Secretaries of State," after a few pri vate commissions only had been issued to the Lord Lieutenant. The Author of Junius Identified has made this one of his reasons (p. 359, 2d edit.) lot suppos-; any one. For forms of faith let furious zealots fiL:lit, His can't be wrong, whose life is in the right. It cannot theiefore be expected that I shall quit that true Christian, Mr. BELLAMY, or his translation, for-a conflict with pretenders, who, if convinced, because vanqtrishd, will obsti nately be of their former opinion. In the defence of this learned man, who is a stranger without my gates, it has brought upon me the assaults of three writers, who appear to hang their faith on a branch of the gospel tree without tasting its ambrosial fruit, like many to be found in the chapels of Spa-fields and the Surrey-road. It is nothing to them what Mr. BELLAMY or I believe, nor to either of us whether they be Christians, Jews, or Mahometans. The new translation of the Old Testament is our object ; and the cry that is.made against it re minds me of an observation by DEAN SwirT, that the sure sign of merit in any work is, that all the blockheads condemn it. But I have said that no writers, let their good or evil genius lead them to what it may, shall draw me aside ; and that 1 shall pursue my pur pose without further digression. In this re solve I open my LETTER TULL To suppose that Mr. BaLLAMY's critics are un• exceptionably right; would involve the question : has he, in any one - passage of his translation, de served the name of criminal '?---11as be transgressed - or broken a moral duty ?. To this every (I's-- passionate and disinterested reader of penetration and discretion will give him their verdict of NUT GUILTY !—He has throughout the chapters left the text in substance as he touted - them ;•-but-exa , plained them more clearly, and more to' the glory of the Divine Revealer, and the honour of his holy penmen. • Yet his very unhallowed opponents - would pourtray him as an underminer of the Old Testament, as the foundation of the Now. What is this short of talsChood and malice To give all instances to the contrary would be to transcribe his entire work. A few brought into the light ot THE SUN will suffice ; and deny their sufficiency who can - 1 In the old version, chap. xi. v.. 7. it is said—" Letns go down and confound their speech." In Mr. BELLAMY'S it is—" Come, we will descend and confound their doctrine." This is an amendment of sound with out any alteration of the sense. It is almost ident sonus ; but more suited to omnipotence. The word " let" is passive, and equal to permission, in consequence of a request, which is wrong to imagine the'Aimighty to make of his creatures. — Let the learned and intelligent reader look through the whole' narrative, says Mr. BELLAMY, in the common version, and be if in search of truth, blush for the credit of the' Bible, and be shucked at a translation so inconsistent with the original. - Again in the 31. v. of chapter xx. we read—" our . father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in unto us, after the manner of all the earth"—" Come unto us, make our father drin4 wine, and we will lay with him."— But Mr. BELLAMY more ,Chastely says—" our father is old, anti indifferent to our marriage with . the idolators, and th . at there was no man in the land where they had chosen their re sidence, • who was a worshipper of the true God."—The word "Jay" with beleflr4ber, means, says he; to abide or iemain, and Sett in the vulgar sense. - Here ' extracting the true inference, be has said—" Now the first-born said to the younger, our father is Old, moreover - not a man in the land to come to' us, as is the custom of all the hand ; therefore we will drink wine with our father ; them we will remain or abide from him ; thus we shall preserve posterity after our father. So they drank wine with their father that same night, when the first-born went where she abode from , her father, but he knew not where she abode ; • neither when she married. Thus were both the daughters married, and conceived un known to their tallier." This cleanses the pas sage in the old version, and makes it consistent, changing the sense, Which, as Mr. BEI:LAMY says, none can read without 'disgust. Verse 36. be translates—thus were both the daughters of LOT with child - by their father, 1. e. both conceived unknown to their father.
