ROval Highness upon the indemnity beiag given to

MRS. CLARKE AND MR. WARDLE..

The following letter, stated to be from Mrs.
Cie,tzKe, appeared in a Weekly Paper of
.yesterd4,
aeswer to one by 'Mr: Wishner,. which was pub-
liil•ed immediately after a late decision in the Court
of King's Benchtunder the same superscription
« ecr-ThE Intone OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
ri Honoured as my testimony- before the House. of '
Commons has been, with the coolidence of the coun-
try at large, and sanctioned as my evidence has been,
in a recent instance, by a Jury of my Countrymen, I
• feel my elf called upon ((per afording' time fir the
•: mgt el:liberate nfiection) to address yod, in consequence
of a circumstance width has arisen Out of the Cause
in.which Mr. Wition.r, an upholsterer, was Plaintiff,
' Colonel WARDLE Defendant, and Mr. DAnsoht,
WurotlT, brother of the Plaintiff, and myssif, were
Witnesses. In this cause it is well known that Col.
Wm:ma,. was cast, to the satisfaction of every honest
tradesman ; and, indeed, of every body in the Court.
The detail of evidence the Public Prints will afford. As
:hr as regards my testimony these details are somewhat
inaccurate, but they are sufficiently correct to have
enabled the Public to strengthen this verdict, with an
7thricst emversal approbation. Col. \VAROL;:, inflated
by a popularity, the extent of which was as unexpec-
ted, as it will be found to have been undeserved, had
vainly clattered himself that this 'sante popularity
oeruld protect him against the Justice of his Country ;
,!:.:erointed at the Verdict, he hie, lost his prudence
:. temper ; and, without giving hisereff time for
•: ',hien, has made en unusual appeal to the people
,',e Urite3 Kingdom, against the Verdict of a Jury.
; erse for this almost unprecedented circum:
, has stated that his Counsel, notwithstand-
• . ,ariese entreaty,tepeated to them in writinf, during
.1, in the strongest terms, did not cornily with
%.,•t to exansine Major Dom, Mr. GLENNIL,
ess. However he may vapour about these
• le, e;-?s• out of Cow t, even Colonel WA:: oLE Will
:se: before he ventures to subject them to an exa-
:• etien upon oath, whilst the written documents
which will inculpate tn^re exalted persons, and
the very foundations of his own ephemeral ;so-
Colonel WARDLE is not ignorant of the Tea-
; • may have induced the snppresion of the
• !:,-tinial.y, thtt would have undeniably corrobo-
::•'.• evidence. Colonel WARDLE knows that Mr.
's .fervtints, as well as others, c.ui prove every
s ii .• t hat I have sworn. Colonel WARDLE has been
!co •.1 ei himself, and too imprudent, not to have made
many unnecessary confidantes cl his intentions and pro-
' tai:;?.s. I dare say the evidence of Major Donn and
1. GLENNIE would have been forrti!,d in truth; it
'v -&d, therefore, have becii madness in Colonel
I.V.'.I:DLE to have examined them; mad he knows this.
Maier DODD heard my evidenae, he could have con-
tradicted me. upon the spot, if I had been wrong ;
and is there any reason to suppose that he would
have had any scruple to have sworn to the truth if that
truth could have contradicted me ?--is any one such
a fool as to believe that ? but in this case the Major
must have spoken the ce/o/,• trpth, and nothing but
the truth as the Attorney-General said, his presence
or his absence equally supported Mr. Wmcer's case.'
do not pretend to know any thing about law, but I
know what is common sense, which 1 think is more
than Colonel WARDLE appears to know. If he 1124
been content to throw the blame of his failure upon
Lis Counsel, it would have been no business of mine
--they are able to defend themselves ; but to be
charged with a crime so disgracefid, so low, .so con-
!•nrpt;ble, and by a person, too, who of 211 men best
knows how abhorrent my nature is ;from any thing
likef!!sehood; to be charged, I say, with Perjury, by
Colonel WARDLE, is really too. bad ;• I understand
great stress has been laid. by Colonel WARDLE 'and
some of hisj.arti:e.ani, upon a letter which I wrote to
'hp is theononth of May last, upon the subject of
ere segagemeats and promises made to me prior to
the investiceation, and this letter is said to have occa-
eoned his determination not to see In,: any more. -
" Whyl Colonel WARDLE called the same day
et he had received the letter, and I would not. see!
, being detennined to have no further cernmuni-
