TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
• Mr. HUME.

SlR—There is an article in your Paper of the 28th
ult., respecting the cOnduct of persons connected with the
Greek loans, and lamenting my deviation from the prin-
ciples of disinterested conduct, for which you have hitherto
given me credit, in my public duty.
In every statement there may be sufficient of truth
mixed up with error, to give a semblance of veracity to the
whole : and where there is a strong disposition in many
quarters to oppose my proceedings, there is nothing so de-
lightful to such people as the getting: hold of some.seem-
ing failing or fault, over which to triumph and crow.
When persons are absent, advantage may be taken of
honesty and integrity itself ; I have no right, therefore,
to complain that a frail mortal may have his acts misrepre-
sented. I never set myself up as being " more perfect
than belongs to man to be ;" but I take credit to myself,
and that fearlessly, for the intention of. being independent
of power or, interest, in all my acts; and in the present
itistarice,l, hold myself to he free from any improper bias,
althouiliTitiiii quite sensible that my motives may be open
to a dodhle interpretation. 1 * -
If there is any one thing more than another in which I
have prided nivielf, it has been, through years of public
life, to act free from party or interested views ; and up to the
present time, I am not conscious of having deviated from
that line. A careful examination of the letter I have this
day addressed to the Editor of the runes, I hope,
tend to remove the very unfavourable impression which
the erroneous statement in the 'Tines of the 28th ult.
seems to have made on you.
You, Sir, have not speculated less in. 'the,various
sChenies, loans, &c., with which the Exchangeliii d
for years, than I have done, with the exekgrok,
Greek Loan, on which I shall offer a fewe,Observiltiont
There were few of these speculatiouirtte which I yr 4.14
invited to become a Director or Officer, with cerfarrt-sit

immediate profit therefrom, which, if I had looked to be 7
nefit myself; I might have accepted an 'imp other
persons,' have pocketed largely. lof these rej4ted,
and consider
*myself as ii.free from he,bliane which you
have in many cages "attached to these projectors, as
you can be.
To the Greek Loan I subscribed, not to speculate, Out
to aid the cause of freedom in that country, and I intended
from the .first subscription to retain my stock as Ishould
a lottery ticket, to take the chance of a prize or a blank:.
If Greece obtains
.her independence the stock will be
prize, if 'she yields to the Turkish yoke again, it will be a
dead loss. I subscribed my stock' with that knowledge
and view, determined not to sell'through good or bad re-
port, as those acquainted with my proceedings knew at the
time. My subscription to the loan was one not for profit
but on principle—not tb sell when the stock might bear a'
premium, but hold for the support of the Greek cause and
loan, 'And at the time the Greek Deputies thought pro-
per to cast insinuations on my conduct as a commissioner,
because I had an interest in the loan, I was one of the few
original, holders of the scrip, and I. therefore felt that the
charge against me was very unfair when I hid refused to
'sell my stock as others did'when it was at a profit. And
it was under those feelings that I felt indignant at the ac-
cusatiou, and resolved at once to be free from the possi-
bility of suspicion of interested motives, to be able to do
my duty to the bondholders by selling my bonds.
_ .

' The
_fault I committed vim in li;tening to the urgent
aiipfleiltrolii Of the DeputieslO let Them take the tioud for
their government, and prevent loss to me on account of
any error of the Deputies. So that you have_ done_ the
'great. injustice in stating to the .public thai I took alarm
at the depreciation of the bonds, .and that'my "patriot.'
ism, 4 like Acres' courage,' oozed out at my finger's ends."
You also do me an injury in giving currency to the calumny
that I applied to the Deputies to be relieved. Now, the
,documents show beyond the possibility of diipute, that
they applied to me, pressed, and entreated me by letter, by
their agents, and in person, not to part with my bonds.
Sir, it will be for you, if these facts are proved to your
satisfaction, to zepair the injury. I look not. to the minis-
terial press to do so, they will give currency to the calumny
but suppress the 'explication. My case is one of a pecu-
liar kind, not to, be.mixed up with any one that has yet
'been before the public, and I think it hard that you should
so soon have allowed' yourself to be biassed' against me.
If a man is to be attacked and run down for one act, to
;say the most of it but of doubtful culpability, and all his
years of independent conduct thrown into the back ground,
where is the man can stand on such principles ? If credit
is not to be given to him in a doubtful case and until his
explanation at any rate appears, of what value is character
and why take trouble not only to appear but to be inde-
pendent and honest.
You seem to think that the terms of the Greek Loan
were such as the most rapacious and 'mercenary alone
would have exacted, and you call on me why
I did. not on agreeing to pay 5,9001., stand by my
' agreement. I did so until I was driven from that by what
is of more value with me--my character was in danger,
and I sacrificed at once 1,3001. in,proof that I was sincere.
If I was wrong in allowing the Deputies, who had thine
me the mischief, to repair the pecuniary injury they had
occasioned, that is the extent of the error. But when you
know that the offer was not made until six months after the
loss, and when the same Bonds they had taken from me
had risen in the market at 604 exclusive of the dividend,
which enabled the Deputies to repair my loss, without any
loss to their Government, 1 thinx you will alter your

opinion.
You think the subscribers to the Greek Loan imposed
hard 'terms on the Greek nation, by asking 1001. stock for
every 59/. of money; but before you censure these terms,
look to my Finance Resolutions moved in the House of
Commons on the 4th of May, 1826, and you will See that
the British Government, in all their credit, gave in 1825,
(vide Resolution, No. 23), 0.01. stock for every 521.75. 2d,
cash; and that 102 millions sterling were raised in that
year on these terms. If England could only get.s2/. 75.:6d.
for 100/. stock, do not blame those who gat,s9/.for Greece.
Look further to Proposition 24, and you will see that the
persons who grave 521. 72. 2d. in 1815; actually got back
04,1.3;5. tid, for every .1004 stock, if they chose to sell,
I have made these hasty remarks, and leave you to apply
them, I have little doubt usefully to the public,-and not
disadvantageously to your obedient

thrice in thy life; once in the presence of Colonel Stan-

I and to give an explanation of personal concernment. ,_
As to the praise' bestowed on Colonel Stanhope, either

by others or myself, I can only say that it has been well
earned, and cannot be wrested from ,him. He, like every
body else who has taken any part in 'Greek affairs, has had
in his turn to bear the caluninious reproaches of the late
Greek Deputies. Time has already swept those reproaches
away, and the man must indeed be strangely prejudiced
who does not see in all that Colonel Stanhope has said or
done, great shrewdness of observation, honesty of purpose,
and united zeal in favour of the cause of Greece.

On the subject of the 21,000/. bends, of the second loan
taken up at ,531 and 51, when the price was from 23 to
28, and which the Committeu,teferred to in their report,
Mr. Luriottis complains that aftOte had given his answer,
though he knew that answer viga recorded in the minutes,
'Mr those minutes were read to-lint, he complains that 'the
Committee did not again apply to him for further informa-
tion ; ;surely if it had been; hiar wish to state .any niore on
the subject, he should have expressed that wish..
It appeared on the face of the accounts that a loss of be
tween 5,000/. 'and 6,0001. had ' nsustained by the Greek
Government, on the purchase , f e 2000 L ' bonds, and'
it was the duty of the commi r o inquireinto their loss.
Xii
I can easily understand the motive which induced Mr. Bur-
ton, on the suggestion of Mr. Luriottis or his secretary Mr.
Lee, to introduce my name by way of foil; but I cannot
avoid statinithat the cases are by no means similar. In'
the one a serious loss occurred to the Greek Goveinteent,
in the other no loss at all. The money I received I repaid
with interest—the money received by Mr. Burton has not
been repaid. I have been charged with dishonesty in con-
cealing my transactions with the Deputies in the first loan
and putting forward those of Mr. Burton in the second ;
but the inquiries of the committee were founded On the
documents laid before them by the Deputies, and if any
item of the account of the first loan had referred to me,
most assuredly I should not have concealed the facts which'
am now about to state. The only way in which my.
name is introduced in the accounts sent by the Deputies
themselies to their Government is as follows :

You severely reprehend me, Sir, for stating that my ap-
plication to the Greek Deputies was for a loan of 5,000/..
on the 25,000/. scrip. I-know not how I can justify my-
self better than by sending you a copy of the letter of the
Greek Deputies to Messrs. Loughnan, Son, and O'Brien.
September 15, 1824.
Gentlemen.—We hand you the duplicate of a letter
which we had the honour of addressing to you yesterday,
and which we forwarded to you through Messrs. Bowring
and Co.
You will perceive that we authorise you to pay them
5,0001., and to withdraw their scrip, as. a security to the
amount of 25,0001-; but for the delay of two months,
which you will see by the said letter we have granted them,
we beg you will require from them a declaration in proper
form, that if they do not pay the said sum within the above-
mentioned period, you shall be authorised to sell the said
scrip at the price current of the market for their account,
without any question or objection.

To. Messrs. Loughnan, Son,

that I have,such. an amount of Greek scrip that I am not
able to fulfil my engagements.

" For which reason,' have not only been unable to make
payment of the fourth. instalment, which took place on the
15th inst., but I am also in debt for the two preceding
ones., I find myself in such a situation that lam driven
to despair. 114 honour and my fortune are exposed, and
threaten the ruin of my, family,; if you will not do me the
favour of taking in deposit 2.5,00 W. scrip, which I hold fur
my, account, at a discount of l 0 per cent., authorising me
to receive against the, value of the said scrip the stun of
5,000/. sterling, which I;engage to reimburse in the apace
of two months, as well as the fourth instalment."
I refused to, accept 'a favour on any such degrading
ir tering, and the consequence was, on the ` th of Septesti4
ber, the following letter was sent to h .tssrs. Loughnan
and Co., on which letter the 5,0001. wet finally, paid i

other two abovementioned, which are the 5,000/. we have
ordered you to pay them ; and that if they do 'not pay you
the 5,000/., which are for the second and third instalments,
and the others which follow—viz, the fourth, fifth, and
sixth instalments within the said period of two months,
you'shall be authorized to sell the Scrip for their account.

P. S. If Messrs. Bowring refuse to accept the above
conditions, we authorise you to withdraw the said 25,0001.
Scrip for account of our Government, as a purchase at a
discount of 10 per cent., in place of 16 per cent., which is
the market price of to-day.
Messrs. Loughnan, Son, and O'Brien.

I certainly believed that the option was allowed me of
withdrawing the Bonds, on the repayment of the 5,000/.,
and within the two months specified, throughout the whole
of the above correspondence, viz., on the 19th of October,
I applied, not as a favour, but as a right, to have the bonds
restored. The correspondence which Mr. Luriottis him-
self has published, shows that I had no doubt 'on this sub-
ject, and I am sure Mr. Hume and Mr. Ellice took the
same view of the matter that I did. Ido not deny the
authenticity of the letter you have twice published, dated
the 21st of Sept., which recognizes a sale,--but I state on
my honour- now, as I stated then, that I have no recollec-
tion of having written such a letter; it is dated at a time
when a heavy family sorrow occupied all my thoughts, at
a time when the mind is hardly answerable for its own acts.
But my letter of the 9th of October, which you have
also twice published, as well as that of the 12th of Novem-
ber, to which Mr. Luriottis refers, both prove what my
impressions were ; and in the answer of the Deputies of
the 13th November, they say, " you still continue to regard
the affair of the 25,000 scrip as an advance." After several
further discussions, the Deputies wrote the following letter
to Messrs. Hume and Ellice :

29, Sackville-street, Piccadilly, Nov. 16, 1824.
Gentlemen—Although the 25,0001. scrip of Mr. Bow-
ring are become the property of the Greek Government,

by Mr. Bowring, as honorary secretary to the committee
for the holy cause of our country, we cede the rights of our
Government in favour of Mr. Bowring, and we take the
liberty of depositing the scrip in your .hands, requesting
you will arrange this business, either by a sale, paying the
profit to Mr. Bowing, or ceding the scrip to him on pay-
ment of the 5,000/. which we paid him ; have the good-
ness, therefore, to finish this business, and this letter will
be your authority with Messrs. Loughnan for giving such
.orders as you shall deem fit. '
We have the honour to assure you of our profound con-
sideration, and our excuses for the trouble we give you.
Your devoted servants,
JEAN ORLANDO,'
J. 2AIMIB,
To, Messrs. Hume and Ellice. AND. LURIOTTIS.
Mr. Hume and Mr. Ellice concurred in the propriety,
under all circumstances, of delivering up the scrip ; the
former wrote to me, dated the 13th of November, 1 have
explained to
.the Deputies the reasons why I think you
should not be a loser by the scrip," and Mr. Ellice's letter
to Mr. I..ough»an is as follows :

Freeman's-court, Friday.
My dear Sir—l hope you will have the goodness to de-
liver the Greek scrip to Mr. Bowring, since the Deputies
have at last agreed to it.
I leave this note with him for fear I should be out of
town when he applies to you, to say that that measure has
my complete concurrence, and that I do hope you will
give every assistance in your power to remove at least this
one difficulty in our discussions. Your's, &c.
A`. Loughuan, Esq. E. ELLICE.
On the settlement of the account, I paid 128/. Ida. l Id.
for interest on the payments made, and in answer to the
assertion that I sold the bonds at a premium, I beg to re-
fer to Messrs. Cunliffe and Co„ who will prove that these
bonds, for which I paid 14,75 W., produced me only
118,3524 ss.
I shall have to trespass on your pages with a few addi-
tional remarks, and am, Sir, your obedient servant,

the oxidation which before took place on the copper, which
separated from it most of the substances that adhered to

it, the bottom had become extremely foul; that within.
ten or twelve feet of the protectors it was entirely covered,
and in thick patches all over, of serpula, oysters, muscles,
and other shell fish, and so firmly had they adhered to the
copper, that it"was found impossible in many parts to dein
it off. The oyster and muscle were foreign, interspersed

by the iron cleaned as much as possible, previous to the
ship being taken out of dock. It is now fully established
that Sir liumphry Davy-'s experiment for preserving the
