EVANs'S l'lON.

Mr. IlAnmE4, the Solkitor tti Ev Arils, the Pd..'
soner, hits thohght proper to enter into a corre.'
spondence with Mr. STUART WORT LEY, in cohse4
(pence of what the latter said in the Hone
Commons on EvANs's Petition. As that Petition
contained a series of gross exaggerations and false-
hoods, it not surprising that Mr. HARMER should
be anxious to clear himself .froth the sit-picion- of
having fiameti it, but, from the style of his letters.
to Mr. S.WoarrLEY, it is not more surprising that
,he latter should have wished to put an end to the,
correspondence. 'I he following are the Letters
,vhich petssed on the ocea•ion
HaLtun Garde?), 'Thursday Night.

St ft,—My attention is this moment called to the Newspaper
'Repori of your Speech in the House of Commons last night*,
and I cannot refrain front expressing indignant astonishment
at finding myself accosed by you as a fabricator of falseh.o
to excite unmerited odium .against Government, •
Had you, Sir, condescended to mate the feast inquiry into._
my character and conduct through life, before you thus at.
tacked me, the Jesuit would have convinced you that I ara:
incapable of falsehood, or wilful misrepresent9tion—you
Would likewise have discovered that all the os:';eii ions are no,
true on which your accusation against me is ;srotinded. First
you-say, that there was no detention or delay in the presents-.
tion of the prisoner's petition ; but, without attributing
insinuating bfame to any one, I cant velSture to assert that the
.first petition Mr, Etans prepared was delayed, although
another was ultimately presented. •
You tv.xt say. r. rimed not know tbilt his former
-complaint was presented, and ',aware of the fact,. prepared
the last petition with.a false allegation. But the truth is,
that Me. Aces was apprised, and perfectly aware, that one
petition of his was presenter! to the Ilouse of Commons iu
February last, and I delis• that I prertred OA, last petition, it
is Ali„ Evans' own writing, I merely had it engliossed,
out adding or diminishing a single f.ict, and therefore no re-,
sponsiliiio can, as I conceive, attach to me, ever should the:
allegations be unftffincted. Li, bon ever, dates were tresorted,
to, I doubt not the delay which Evans couiplains of would bo-
ascertained. •

avio- ,nnv; hope, convinced yon that 'your asst r•
tioni were erroneous, I expect you will not hesitate to :AC.
kuowletlge, as publicly as your accusation, the inju,tice yen:

vented graining on the edge of the piece: and whereas pieces
Of gold money of the above description have been coined at his

otders which we have gi'ven for that purpose : we have there-
fore, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, and by

ft to issue tbis proclamation; and we do hereby, in the•narne

and on the ha:f of his Majesty, ordain, 'declare, and com-
mand, that tire said pieces of gold money so coined, and to
be coined as aforesaid, shall be current and laWful money of
