last Number, wherein they make the" amende honorable."
The following are extracts front that addres, (ride No 41.)
" We have now to express our regret, that we have bets tin
means of giving publicity to that, which subsequent inquiries ten
convinced us was unfounded. We are now speaking of all Gw

The ..11usion made to the professional claims of that fern vex
