The following has been circulated as a correct
iccuunt of the correspondence which lately passed
between Lord Mecricts and Mr. PURCIIVAL, sad

cretary fur Ireland, of the Secretaryship for the Colonial
Department, is matter of public notoriety ; that this was ee-

tints on the subject with his father, there seems ots .1
doubt; but that Lord Melville, in reply to this
expressed a wish to receive some intimation Ai"

situation, it would not have left his father free. to stgaif7 his
