HENRY SAVARY.

(vaoM 'OUR OWN CORRIII4ONDRIN
• .
By this morning's post we have received the follow-
ing particulars connected with the above-weed Gen-
tleman, and the probable causes that have led to the
commutation Of punishment :
Towards the close of the last month, as the most un-
wearied soltitations were pursued in his behalf, a corn-
municatiofi Was made to him, the result of which was,
his explaining the extent of the frauds, and the facilities
by which they were accomplished. Then, and then
only, a hope was held out, on his pleading Guilty, than
an effort to save him would be m ide. Accordingly, on
being put to the Bar, on theol.th inst. he g.ive in the
plea of Guilty, and decla-ed in eztemnation, that ti he
did not know forging the names of per sons not in exilt-
ence was a capital offence."— But the Learned Lord
GIFFORD decided otherwise, and left him to his-fate. •
Immediately all the evidence and circumstance, of
the case, militating in lUs favour, were formed into
affidavits, and mete, en Monday last, transmitted to
the 9 cretary of State for the Home D pa. tment ; an
Mr. Secretary Peel, with an ahcrity and liumanity
above all praise, immedi.itely had them laid before the
proper authorities; and we are informe,,i, a very long
deliberation, in which the opinions of the L rw Offi,et •
of the Crown were taken, was held upon them.
The result was, that on- Wednesday niQht, a King's
Messenger was dispatched to Bristol with the respite.
He arrived there on Thursday morning, and delivered
his mission to Mr. Gardner, tie Senior B•eriff,

went to the jail, and was shewn into the rosm occupied
by Mr. Savary, who had, since the previous Monday.
endured the most racking suspense, as on that dayAlre
knew the affidavits, &c. were transn%tted to the Secre-
tary of Silt,.
Mr. Gardner read to him the official communication,
and the gratitude and delight of the unfortunate man
knew no bounds, he wept and prayed fervently, and,
with mach enthnsiasM, declared to the Sheriff and Mr.
Humphreys, the jailer, that it was solely on his family's
account, as he cared but little what became of himself.
His manlier, which before was reserved, gloomy, a itd
contemplative, assumed a lightness and gaiety not Gften
seen within the prison walls.
'By every class of sn'ety in Bristol, the respite was
received with pleasure, on account of the venerable
banker, Mr. Savary, fen. who is most highly and uni-
versally esteemed. His mind, too, has received great
relief. He and the family were preparing to retire from
the town, as they fully expected the unfortunate son
would haveto pass the dreadful ordeal yesterday.
