fully acknowledge, s' that they did suppress the

.that •khey-
were at•great pains to smother and conceal it, for
they confess, that it is '' by some. inexplicable
means that .we have obtained it," Now what
signifies a long letter when all this is owned, and
allowed ? Can.any terner too strong be applied to.
such conduct) But, say " the Protestant. So.]
ciety,"through their agents, " we were not obliged
to publish all the information we might receive."
Why no, gentlemen., if you had, we suppose you
veofild also have been obliged to find publishers
and printers : But was the Duke of Wellington
so insignificant personage, and so ignorant of
the-elfairs of France, or so incompetent to deli-
ver au opinion upon them, that his letter deserv-
ed no better fate than to be sunk into the general
mays of lies and nonsense which you hare re-
ceived ? If so, why did you write to him ? But
it is farther worth the whip to observe, in what
inconsistencies, this 'Misconduct involves " the
Protestaot Society!."' They intimate in one place,
that they did' not,publistt-.the Duke's letter, lie-,
cii-ttse they were 'unauthorised to expose it
and in another, say they, shofflingly, " we!sent
the following alistract of that letter, as a comma-,
nication from the Duke at to all the
London newspapers,,'.. Here, therefore, their
own practice condemns their own principles : for
if it was improper ,to; publish the letter, was it
not equally so to lightish the ithstriset ? But the
whole of this evidently, means,- that they'pub-
fished as much of the letter (it, indeed, they pub.
fished any),' as answered:their owmpurpnsei, and
concealed the rest, ;I'o Agin ,up the whole"' the
Protestant Societ;y" have suppressed a letter of

of their institution, There cannot be tiro differ-

The paragraph inserted-this day in your Paper

cited our astonishment and regret. That para-
graph accuses " the Protestant Society for the
Protection of Religious Liberty." to sr hiCh we
are Secretaries; of party, political motives, of on-
candid conduct, and of the suppression cif a letter
which, by some ioexplicahle ream,• you have ob.;

tuation of the French Proteitaiits—lnor examine
the necessity for extended exertionsfor their per-
manent protection, ,nor investigate the propriety
of collecting those subscriptions. for their relief
which lucre recommended by another public body
(consistiag of the Dissenting of three
ideimminations in London) but which our itt'stitu--
\ dim has never attempted to invite : nor shall tve
discuss the existence of any obligations to Ols-
' lists all the ioforinatiois we might receive, and es-
pecially,letters which we were unauthorized to

lerriny,most unfounded and unjust. The exist-,

eating an4l drinking, and searching for its p'ro
prictor, but, fortunatel, without effect, as he -
had made_his escape through a back window on
their first entrance. Some 'expressions which
tell from shun have led to the conclusion, 'that
his being .found by them would have been tatat4o
him. They .then proceeded to the honie of
