TO TILE INHABITANTS OF TILE CITY OF

1 am rejoiced to find that my sufferings have so power-
fully interested the feelinzs, and my wrongs so generally ex-
cited the indignation of the Inhabitants of the City of
Gloureater. They have too much generosity in their senti-
ments, and ton much of the ardour of an amiable chivalry
in their beasts, not to be deeply affected by the spectacle
of a cruelly injured Q.JOCIS. They know the accumulated
indignities I have experienced ; and they are sensible that
the present semblance of a judicial proceeding against me
in the House of Peers is averse to every principle of our
constitutional liberty in its best times; of law in its wor-t
limes; and of equity in all times. Quo, as long as my ad
versaries can humble me in the dust, or make me a bleeding
sacrifice to the envenomed hate which rankle* in their hearts,

stitution, the letter of the law, or the obligations of equity.

and for mankind, could not command its wayward iodine.

will form a volume from which parents will once more prove

salutary truths, that the highest stations are exposed to the
