NIPPER TINDr TO LORD PELifilM:

(PROM THE PAR:9 PAPERS.)
MY LORD,
When we are oblige ! to take up the pen in defence of
our characters, our letters st sod in need of no apology. With-
out fatiguing you, therefore, with any, 1 shall cuter immudi-
akr,y upon the suhiect ; and as you have thought limper, as
well as Lord Spencer, to bring my name in an indecent nrui-
ir-r before the public, I shall begin my defence with the sqnte
fre:•dom you have used in attacking me.
To say that -you have both been wanting in what the
rides of decency required, would be the mildest censure your
conduct deserves; with equal reason can 1 say, tnat you
have violated the laws of justice ; for time alone can discover,
what connection there was between di! Malt Hill, which was
the subjeft of discussion, and Naner 'Candy. Had it nut been
for one of the assertions you made, I should not base brought
the affair before the public, but would have been contented
with seeing iny•self disfigured by your Wilibseate orators, Of
in both Houses; for there are men, my Lori, whose certain."
is the highest reconinierelation 0110 Cllll have; and, I am sin..
cam enough to confess, that ! consider your Lordship as worthy
of the first rack in this class. You have neclared, or the prin.
ter for you, that I made diicocerteg to government. I assert,
that that declaration is fake. This may appear to tour Card
nut very civil language ; but it is the voice of t, et's • and I tepee',
my Lind, that it is a mean and audacious falslic:od. I never
had any relation nor currolp,,ildt.nce with your govemuteu:i
nr, if I had, that government knew my character too well to
attempt to make me temporise.
Had you bets; content with saying, that there were particill,,r
circumstances in my case, you would not have, mei-veil from •
the truth ; for you know all, though you have only suffeleo
part tuappeai.
With resir..ct to my life, l never thought I owed any gra-
titude to your government for it. 1 owe my life to ttie great
and generous propie, to the fir,' of niers, to the hero, the
cilicator, who satil, that if I fell, 1 should fall with et‘trnsi
hisue. It is for the cause of that people that I am ready to
shed the 144 &OS of my Wood. lean rectipatitate, with Silas-
cachou, my past life, speut ni the mice of ivy country,
whilst I look with 14' and contempt upon those who, by pen-
tituting theinselves, have beect raised to the first ethers of the
state. lam inure proud of the name of Fiemcb, Citiacn, than
1 should boot the rank of a titter! save.
1 .11111., my hind, with the same sentiments have always.
entettaint:d aid cherished long b.rtiare I knew you a petty se-
e.etary of the Castle of Dublin, a fiend of univeral benevo-
fem.:, and an cienty to those only who build their Liotuno
upon the ruin of their country.
