I now proceed, with all pis .hide brevity, to correct the
falsehoods contained in the said account.

Ist. It isfalre, that I Add or hold • %toren'''. place under

a colonial appointment confrere.' upon me more than font..
teen years since by Lard Greg (when Isis Lordship was First
Lord of the Admiralty) at the itistarice of Hr. For.
24. It is false, that I am a writer fur a certain Morning'
Paper. Were I such, 1 should not offer apology or expla-
nation for such a disposition a myself. The fact, buwrace,
is, that although, in the room of my life, an oecasional
correspondent, like thousands of others, of several Papers
(the Chronicle' and Tinges Included;., I never had either pro-
perly, man•gemeut, engagement, employment, or concern,
in any Newspaper ',nee the hour a my birth.
3.1. It is false, tied distinguished characters crineeetrell

house. Cpor the most •ccerait 44110411. cl of which toy
memory is capable, I Jo not recollect any Gentleman, now
connected with any possible Paper, to have been inside my
threshold for the last twelve months. Such an incolesst rani

4th. That Pearson and Vickery were refit:ea admittance
by the servant, happens to be fact, though tiund in the said
statement; but the complexion given to that refusal is as
false as the three Ant heads. The truth is, that I sin very
much annoyed by •pplicauts, in real or pr. tended weer;
sod that I have, during my 42 years residence in this street,
been obliged, perhaps 42 scores of timer, to threntes my
servants with dismissal foe receiving tr. ger.tig letters aid
admitting simmers. It is to the rliscsplene thence arm-
ing, coupled with seeking fur a name unknown to theme
servants as a male vigilant, that they refused to open the
door. The instant that 1, who was getting out of bed,
learnt the name and object of Vickery, every part of the
house was directly submitted to his search. I shall slot 544
