TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir—You have inserted iu your paper a letter from
Chile; giving an account of an unfortunate occurrence at
VrAparaiso, in which a British Officer of his Majesty's ship
Doris, is stated to have killed a soldier, who wished to
apprehend him. In justice to that Officer, it ought'to be
mentioned, that the Officer being accused of misconduct,
was given up' to the civil authorities, was tried by the com-
petent tribunal, and has been most honourably acquitted
on the 22d October last. It is likewise necessary to
state, that the Officer offered to surrender himself to the
civil authority, or the officer of the beard, and receiv-
ed a very severe bayonet wound in the groin from the
soldier who lost his life, before the Officer, in self-defence,
fired at him.

These facts render any farther detail unnecessary—they'
show that the statements iu the letter from Chile were not
in all respects correct ; and it would have been well if the
party who furnished the account in question, had confined
himself to a more faithful statement before he had ventured
to pledge himself for its authenticity.—l am, Mr. Editor,
Your obedient servant,
A CONSTANT READER of the
SUN NEWSPAPER.
London, Feb. 28, 1828.
[We copied the account in question from a Morning
Paper, and readily give publicity to the above, from th:,
high respectability of the party furnishing us with the
above communication.]
