ravages, and the privations of the war will soon
be little felt, From what I have seen and heard,
my conclusion is, that if your Corn• Laws produce

LORD COeTifli ità his 60."it.rflithNTS.

His 'Lordship has addressed a long litter to his
Consti, (lents, a great. part of which', at least as to
its intended effect, May well he. characterisetfas a
thrice told tale." . Its matter, which generally
is a series of animadversions, may be closed tin-
der a very few heads, viz.. ttptii what psa•ssed in
the House of Commons in discussions referring to
his cast---anon the drawing tip of. his brief,-anti
-
the relative conduct of his Sdliciiors--4hv conduct
of his Cotutsd, with .respect ttO his defence in
Court ; and, lastly, upon the assertion which the
Attorney-General is stated to lave made in de-
bate, impoiting; that '' he, (Lord C.) had ,not
only pocketed a large sum of money by the hand,
butpot off absolute ruin." '

The affair of the brief, and the mode 'of con-.
ducting his defence in Courte, but particularly the
former head, includes'the greater part of the tun-
Ole matter,; - and this turns chiefly on the Thread-
bare point of the colour of the coat in which ,De
B. was stated to have called at Lord C.'s house.
in his original 'Alitlavit this was stated to have
been peen, whereas, in the examination attached
'to the brief, it is stated to have been red, and the
Solicitors are. blamed for not having pointed' out
that important difference at the time,they read the
greater part of the brief to his Lordship.

The servants who were exaanned before the p-
licitors, might, in the opinion of the tided HO-
logist, have admitted, that, f` since they did not
seethe body of the clot, it might, for aught they
knew, be red---but he cannot believesheir admis-
sions'Avent further ;" and had he, known " that
the brief contained a flat 'and fatal ctintradiction
to his own affidavit, .imt of the mOuths of his own
savant," he could never have suffered it so to
have gone to his Counsel, stilltess have pressed
for the examination of those servants on the'trial.

With respect to•the conduct of his defence in
Court— Lord C. does not expressly blame his
own :Counsel, Messrs. ToPrING and' StiAßLy.rr;
for not speaking; in 1,6 defence—having '' no
doubt that , under the circumstances then known to
them; they, acted as they thought best."—Neither
clop he hhinte "Mr. Serjcant IThST (though con,
trary_to,Lord C.'s expectation and d4ection); for
h s cause -in' tion.innction with that of
his own Client, Mr. C. JOHNSTONE. •

' He admits the Learnzd Serjeaut to have 44 mule
as able a speech as any. advocate could have done
with the information be possessed, and, under his
then circumstances." And he accepts " the dar
ing, of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and freely re
leases his Solicitors and Counsel from every obli-
gation of s,...er.ecy." They are " particularly Tttr-
thorised" to state the' reasons for his being de-
fended 'conjointly with Mr, C. JOIINSTONE, and to
assign theiv.reasons for thinking that no w;tacsses'
should.have been exa Mined on his .part,:espeCialli
his servants, on the subject of De B.'s dress('
.11e admits 44 the, folly of iris negligence," (as
stated in the House of Commons), of loving
given no instructions to Counsel;
:adding, " Had
conferrelwith my Advocates on 'the subject, 1
have no (1011!)t that I sliouid have fully convinced
them of -My innocence. I 'believe, 'that sttbse-
(pent to the trial, there is not a single individual
with whom T have cohlerred on the .subject, who
has not left me with that impressi6n."
The last head refers to the allegations (as above) ,
that by the fraud he had " put Oft absolute ruini"
and on this the titled Apologist enters into s'oinc,
details- as to the prices of Omniuni about the tinie
of the ttan,saction in question, and alludes to the
amount of his gain on former occasiOn, with the
view of refuting the assertion.

The conduct of the Stock Excilange Committee
in '" seizing'' certain sums of money which be-
lCtged 16 him is also animadverted upon. This
part of the•defende contains the following words :
‘ But ;if, upon the whole, 1 had lost a•fet,v, hun-
dreds, Or. even thousands,. how could the Attor-
n'ey-General be justified in inferring my absolute
ruin ? It is well known that I had been m'ore
socces„il at sea than ainiost any (ither Officer of
my standing- in the Navy, and that I constantly
lived not only within my income, but at less-ex,
pence than almost any
,other person of my rank in
society."
A letter from Lord C, to his Solicitors, Messrs.
FAatzElt and Co. calling upon them to expla.;n cer-
tain points, chiefly respecting the examination of
his servants befpre them, and the mode. of insert-
ing the result of those examinations in the brief,
is subjoined.
The points are stated in sonic detail, and,the
jitsw er Of the Solicitors is -annexed. In this do-
cument those Gentlemen state, But after what
has passed, and the communications we have al-
ready made, we hope your Lordship will agree'
wit!a its in thinking that it would be highly im-
pi.,,pc! in 119 now to answer any more absttact or
pinitiol questions." '

• , Subjoined to the Whole, are affidavits made by
several persons before the Loan MAYOR; -with the
view of establishing, that Crtine, the coachman,
%silo drove De B. to Lord C.'s. house, is not a
'credible ,witness;

We understand that RICHARD bANNEY, of

might he int:6i med, that although he had given a
regular notice of an advance in their respective
rents, in consideration of the change, that had
place: in political affairs, he purposed blot-
