4g January 14,1810."
The letter inclosed a copy of the statement which
appeared in the newspapers on Monday last.
The assertion, that in my speech at the Ccfmmon
Hall, I " omitted to state the real facts of the case,"
Ido not clearly comprehend. It was previously un-
derstood, as I have already related, that the particu-
lars of the statement that has been published, were
not intended to be introduced at the Common Hall.
—The 44 Gentleman specifically and distinctly sta-
ted, 41 that it was not expected." The omission
which is imputed to me, I therefore cannot com-
prehend.
The real facts of the case, as I take them to be,
are—That my speech at the Common Hall, on the.
14th of December, was accidentally misrepresented ;
and that I corrected such misrepresentation at the
next Common Hall, by stating what I have already
mentioned. _ _

That the Public mayknow what the statement was
to which I alluded, I think it expedient to subjoin the
following extract from Mr. Cobbett's Register—the
Public will thus be enabled to make a fair compari-
son between the statements of Lord Castlereagh and
Mr. Cobbett :

FROM COBBETT'S POLITICAL REGISTER,
JANUARY 21, 1809.

Lord Castlereagh, Secretary of State, £6OOO a-year.
Brigadier-General- Stuart (brother of Lord Castlereagh),
ler Seeretary of State, £2OOO a•ycar.
Same Rerson, General upon the Staff, upon our FAMOUS
,r r, £l3OO a-year.
t. Same person, Lieutenan
ions, £5Oll a-year.
S. Lord Henry Moore (a first cousin of Lord Castlereagh),
Joint Muster-Master-General of Ireland, a patent place, £2lOO
le-year.
I. Mr. John Ormsby Vandeleur (a first cnu4ln of Lord Cas-
dsreagh), Conurissioner of the Excise in Ireland, £l2OO a-year.
7. Messrs. John Staples and 1 homas Staples (first cousins of
Lord Castlereagh), Examinators of the Custo.ns in Ireland, 1:91e
I-year.
a. Lord Henry Seymour and Lord Robert Seymour (uncles to
Lord Castlereagh) Prothonotary in the Court of King's Bench
ist Ireland, £12,511 a-year.
9. Same persons, Clerk of the Grown in the King's Bench in
Ireland, £'42l a-year.
10. Same persons, Filazers in the King's Bench in Ireland £llO5
*Tear.
11. Lord Robert Seymour (incle of Lord Castlereagh), Craner
and Wharfinger of the Port of Dul.fin, £1930 a-year.
12. Lord George Seymour (uncle of Lord Castlereagh), Com-
missioner of Excise in England, .e I 300 a-year.
1 8. Same person, Harbour-Master of the Port of Christiansted,
in the island of St. Croix, about £lOOO a-year.
14. Same person, Harbour-Master of the Port of Frolericksted
in St. Croix, about .£llOO a-year.
• 11. Sathe person, Naval Officer of the Port of Christiansted, in
St. Croix, about £9OO a-year.
16. Same person, Naval Officer of the Port of rredericksted,
in St. Croix, about £lOOO a-years
17. Lordifeurge Seymour, and his son, G. H. Seymour, 11
years of age, the reversion of the office of Craner and Wharfinger
Of the Port of Dublin, valued at £1930 a-year, and now held, as
just stated, by Lord Robert Seymour.
" The total annual amount paid by the public to
these several persons, ‘36,69l ; and Nos. 8,9, 10, and
11, having been held since l id 6, the total sum,
whichi through these channels only, has been drawn
from the public, including the compound interest, is,
if my calculation be correct, £2,160,056."
"There seems to be an error in the annual amount
of £lOOO, it being £35,691 only—this probably ashes
from the omission of the annual emolument of Mr.
Stephen Moore, which is about £lOOO a-year.
This list is stated, by Mr. Cobbett, to be extracted
from " the Lists of Placemen, Pensioners, and Re-
versionaries, contained in the Report laid before the
House of Commons, by the Finance Committee, in
the month of June last,"—commonly known by the
title of the Third.
It is observable that Mr. Cobbett has only men-
tioned "some of the relation:" of Lord Castlereagh—
Lord Camden, who is the uncle of the Noble Lord,
holding the following places, as appears in the same
third Report :
Teller of the Exchequer 5e2f1,117 per MIL
Commissioner of the Affairs of Inch 1500
President of the Council - 4000 •
If these sums are added to that of $.733,691, .the
aggregate will be found to be no less a sum :haul
£61,308 per annum, received out tlf the public money
by the family and relations of the Noble Lord ! !
If the Report of the Committee of Finance can be
shewn to have been erroneous, I, for one, shall most
sincerely rejoice—but if that Report cannot be con-
troverted, my satisfaction will not be less, by hiss
Lordship's chewing to the people of England the
public services which have been performed for that
enormous sum of money.
I am, &c.

At this critical season, when so many infants are
snatched off byconvulsions through their agonizing pain
in cutting their teeth, we are happy to have it in our
power so repeatedly to announce the virtue- of the
AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRIA'. The Grandchild of
Mr. Barton, No. '27, Short's-gardens, had twelve fits,
they only rubbed the child's gtuns three times before
it had several teeth through - she was at that time
sickening with the small pox :the doctor told the mo-

had come out, her child could not have lived.—To
