MY Draft FIIIEND.—I deem it requisite to make a roe -
moniration to you un the instant, relative to am occur sera,
in which I was concerned ; and I shall proceed, wi
further preface, to enter on the subject of It.
Yesterday I met Major-General Sir Hodson Lew t it
Paddington.grren, as lie was about to eater a bar knit
coach, when an aliercatiou ensued, during which I at tart
him acrom the shoulders with a horsewhip which I In Id II

my card, but be thosight At to throw it away, wit bse
deigning to read it. Upon this I tendered him a secun
dress, and afterwards a third, all of which he in like ma ant,
threw away. His servant maid, however, who had by tiro
time come out of the house, picked ripely cards, and ca nor
them auto his residence, when the backuey coach drove • ell
situ I proceeded un my way.
Few persons but myself and my father are fully sr.
quansted with the cruel provocations which I have ret ear,'
from ibis man. During our detention at St. Helen i, se
were led in the most brutal manner, and aubsequ toad
kept in close confinemeut during one month, ass meet. aid
treated precisely like criminals. What still tame tend.
augment this cruelty, was my health, being at that tier
in a very precarious state, from the effects produced I n s
tropical climate upon a coustitiation naturally weak. ' fns
was represented to Sir Hudson Lowe by the physier Vs,
who explicitly made kerma to bins that it was 'swot' shy
necessary to the recovery of my health, that I should Li
allowed to return to Europe, that I might receive the I••••
unfit of my natal air. Such a measure, however, wr.
have been in direct opposition to the seeresy in which In
was desirous of enveloping all his proceedings or/ i Le
island. He demanded of Mr. B. O'Meara as Anal t-
itian upon the state of my health. Mr. O'Meara, vir

lion of feeling and of truth, and my father and myself w.
ordered off to the C.pe of Good Hope, where we were u.
rained as prisoners for seven months, owing to the lint, a-
nons by Sir Hudson Lowe. This captivity, r in.
pled with a separation from his family and his country, tie
menial anguish that succeeded, the weak stale of health, ant
the age of my father, have beer, the fatal sources ut their e
firmities ender which he now labours, and which will rot.
iinue to bear him down to hi. grave.

After our departure Pose St. Helena, Si► Hudson Los"
proceeded to employ those means, wills which he was. ; sou-

When speaking of my father, after his departure, I -have

with IVs name the epithets of " that - rascal ! that
