• TO THE ,MARQUIS, DE -CASA YRUJO. .
SIR,
To your acknowledged' attempt to corrupt risk'
!fidelity as a Citizen,. by engaging. my services to
',support the reasonings of a Foreign Minister, 'you
'have dared to add the atrocity of inipeaching the
truth of my deelarationrwhich had been made:under
;the sacred obligations of an oath.
In the nature .of your employment,' and the pau.
city of your means, you might have found an ex-
;use, as well as a motive, far the former part of
`your condo& ; in the mortification 'of your failure
only, can even the shadow of a cause be traced
for this last departure from all that is honourable,
just, and true.
' The guarantee of the Nation will protea your
.person ; hut, as that guarantee cannot, in this
:Countty, be extended, by any construAion, to in..
vest a, Foreign Minister with the privilege of falsely
:charging a Citizen of the United States with
perjury, aod of promulgating that Charge through
'the medium of a Newspa'per, neiiher your office,
' ;nor all the' sanctions of diplomacy, ~l►nll restrain
•my refutation of the deliberate falsehood, nor prc.
'vent the refutation, being made througn the saint'
channel.
In,,your belief that political intolerance" had:
prepared me ,to receive with less rtludatiee" the
communication of your proposals, you 1114 r have
exhibited a curren view of your own, mind, how.
ever grossly y.ou were deceived in the analogy
which it suggested,.►
T ,
o . e circumstances of that continntic.ation, wcr
faithfully, and correttly detailed in my de-position,.
and, on a careful review of thatstatemrim, 1 solemn.
'ly assert, that every_ part of my &I/OS.lllOu 13 true.
I shall therefore leve,,you to..eiajoyolie honour and
benefit of the evasions contradittions which
you have attempted. those contradittionsyr
have endeavoured jo. jovalltiate the disinterested
oath of a man who, in the relati,os of iyate cha.
ratter, would deem hirn;e)f. degraded by a compari.
sun with tie. Marquis 64Casa Yrujo,A man, Sir,
who holds testimonials of personal worth, amid oldie
service, from diirereot Chief Magistrates of his
Nation, which will obtain equal consideration with
your boasted Nobility, for they are certainly quite
. as honourable, and even of more ancient date than
the title you bear.
You doubtless presumed that you had only to
cool,radiet " the gtlitor of a Newspaper, whose
,tilteets are scarcely to he seen across the' wa.

Ile had 'rated older the obligations

this ;presumptlon, howa;ver, you have betrayed " a
1• wicked heart 4/.1/ a tpiserable head." Whete we arc
both known, it is opt, hope, an undue assumption
to sniappF that lis,hotifo obtain 'equal credence' with
