" STYLoeu,—I uad I 1.1C...10n0ur to send you a
'letter from the extremity of Afriea, tvitb a dupli-'
cote of it. I hope that you will pacilott the feel-
rig that dierated it to me. it drew me, though"
unknown, to him, who, from love of justice and
greatness tit soul, took up the most noble of all
causes. • I added ro it the few docntnents that 1:
had in my handsthe 'grievances At Loogwiyod,
my torrespondencevvith Sir Hudson Vowe, and
the sketch of a petition to ParliaMent. Have
• •
you ever received These"? v
The moTe unfortunate I become-, 'the more
does lily confidence increase. the treatment
have received since I approached. the English
Coast, and the impulse it has giveil that which
I have experienced on the Continent:, are difficult
to describe. I take the liberty to annex my
let-
ter to Lord Sidmouth on this subject. If it
should happen that the newspapers, as'they
ly do, should misrepresent my • case, and should
ally of those voices which continually watch over
every kind of abuse and injustice be heard in Par-
liament, your Lordship will have the advantage'
of bring acquaitned with the whole affair.
" My Lott', I add to the copy of this letter,
that of another, of which I must be proud (the
letter of recommendation from Buonaparte, al-
ready published) ; I would, also, for the future,
have rejoiced over it in silence, if it Werz not ne-
cessary to annihilate the lying reports of the
Journals, which have spread a false 'opinion on
the Continent. Some pretend, that I left Long-
wood because, weary of the brutality of him frcon
whom"' patted with grief, I could not live with
him any longer ; others,' ‘vithout further parti
enlars, say that I deserted him. The annexed let-
ter, if- it is made public, will spew the truth ;
it is a favour which I beg of you, unless your
Lordship should see objections which I have not
remarked. My Lord, they make me very un-
happy—they make me a matlyt ; that is to say,
generous hearts air made to
.incline to ine, and
their participation consoles me for all.
" It is attended with the greatest difficulties to
write these few hues to, you. May they come to
your hands ! If time allows me to present my
grievances to your Ministers, you shall receive a
copy of them.
" Accept the homage of my gratitude and my
respect,

" Count LAS CASAS"
