MUNCMAUSEN himself is tune. This is much ;n st 3 le
of tie French Hulletia, where an Adjutant and a dra,6oon
summoned and took t tico thots,ao,l prisoners !
If you did make a complaint about the provisions, an inv,t
with a reception that convinced you that you must tin' er en„he
another, was there no witness, no evidence ~f the nature of
this complaint, nor to w hoin it was made ? The nature of the
reception, and the person who gave it. are very adroitly kept in
the back-ground, or we might have been furnished with some
clue to have exposed the falsehood: but this reception irritated
you so mach that from this tittle you set abont to COLLECT mat.-
Hats fur an exposure upon your return to Eng!and—dij it nrvcr
occur to you, in writing this sentence, to substitute the word
MANUFACTURE instead of COLLECT?

66 You had ample epportunities," you say, and nobody will
doubt your inclination. The precious extracts that you made
surely you might have conveyed to England, or some other place
of safety than merely at tin box made by yourself for the purpose.
T!tis is really, for a man of your craft, too childish to be crc.
tilted. But rogues sometimes act like fools. Providence has
nisely ordered that it should he so, for the sake of honest men.
Well! now you and IlVilliont BeW tarot at lerigth "set to work upon
your project, and whilst the good erlsy men thought no mischief
was a brewing" there were you and the other clerk under you
gutting no small part of the regimental books, rolls and other
documents; mid these were signed by you and your Coadjutor "and
he regimental seal clapped to the copy" oh tie, oh fie. By
Iv but indirect means does providence suffer his creatures in bring

such letters as ...eu did write to the KING, the Juot;r: Anvo-

you represent yourself t,) be, a man of such discretimi, to sit down
one hew isphere to collect materi;ls to be employed for the
exposure of nis officers in another. How lu.ppened it, indeed,
it credible that it should never have occurred to such a man,
that before he had obtained his discharge he should have taken
care to secure the oelv documents upon the pivot of which
every thing turne•l ? Witold not my Lord FITZGERA that
other traitor, ha‘e ns.Ted you ? Is it not evident that he must
have been e..quainted wi! el your object, and kiew the motives
of your ,journey to London ? Has it never occurred, do you
think, to others who do not perhaps krow the fact as teal as gau

military life was to gel married, and tluit your motive foraecusing
