We last week announced the intended retireniettt.°,o4hri
O
Thomas Cochrane from the re rest ntation of this ve;
upon the dissolution of the present Parliament ;
the " why and the wherefore" of the divorce of to's Li tlle'
cal union has been bruited abroad. The real stateZestai
case is now fully ascertained. A letter has been 7,rsotoyi
by the Hon. and Gallant Kniht, to nurserous.,rdebts

and who have been most woefully left in the Inrcllsoight,
letter fully exculpates the Honourable and Galla_...Ant t 1.14

justify his high character as a gentleman.
