MRS. CLARKE.

Several of the of opponents the Duke of Itaß4_,
as well as Mr. IMARDLII, say that• Mrs. -Clarke Is,:
credible witness. She state!, upon her Alit ekarTd
• nation, on the Ist of Feb. that Mr. WAIPts tit `;
not see her on the previous day. Mr. W 00" dc
dared, at first, that he saw her once on.the
precedig
evening; afterwards, that he called on ber ifie
morning of thatday, and did nut see her ; then,
that he did see her in the morning; and; lastly,• that
he had seen her three times on that very day. Which
are the Public to belisave,— WMr.
. his
crelible witness
Mn.s CLARKC acenies Mr. WAapLE of Emig
taken away a bundle of her private letters againit
her consent and entreaty. If Mrs.CLAKKE iS a Credible.
witness, what has Mr.WA RDIA3 to say to this charge?
ig
NICHOLLS was stigmatised by Mr.
in the strongest terms for having 'Withheld a
parcel of Mrs. CLARKE'S private letters, though he
°tiered to surrender them, if she would pay.-Gl"'
what she owed him, and, theretbre, had a sutheleP`
•
plea for the retentiim, considering the ehttra‘ter of
the woman. 'Mr. WIIITER2AD has not, we believe,
nmade.any, observation respeding Mr.WARPLE'S ha"
Mg taken away one parcel of Mrs. CLARKE'S PriVate
letters, though he so strongly condemned Nicool.o
for withholding another. Mr.WiNDHAM,lloWevtlf.tr,
spoken openly on the subject, for he said, that'lllY°'
WARDLE a6tually took away Mrs. CLAttita's private
letters, against her consent, he would rather have
been the subject of all the charges brought abrtinst
the Duke of YORK, than be guilty of such aliatlirk*
When Slr FRANCIS BuitoaTy declared that liti
reposed full confidence in all that Mrs. CLisarto bad
said, he forgot that she had accused-him of 4001-
offered four thousand pounds to her for the INlXeie.
YOH letters. When Mr. CHOKER reltliaClOd havingtl)°
Baronet of this circumstance, be disavowed •
made any such oder. We certainly can have
uu
hesitation in preferring the declaration of time Baro-
net to that of WS. CLARNII, and, iindeo, fully it;
lying on it, we may ask him how he
woman whom he has himself convieled of a delibe-
rate falsehood ?
