"MT LORD,.-W4lllll I sea the hones► of addressing
my lint letter to yea, I little thought it 'mild have
led to those troubles sod persocetioes, which I am
sheet to detail to your Highness lo my second. In
t►at, I informed you of my having been reduced to
the necessity of wilds( for a clendestine opporteni-
ty, befits I could transmit the promised narrative;
such a one did occur, but I was either grossly de-
ceived, or extremely misfortunate, le takieg ad-
vantage of it.
A resident of St. Helene, who had bees my sir-
rant ever sines oar arrival there, appearing to dia.
pima Sir Hodson Lowe, was removed by the latter
fees Lorigiortd. ThiS man, who seemed to have
been liken away as a Suspicious character, contrived,
however, to re.eppesr there a few days after, sot-
withateeding the numerous Preeautions which were
adopted to prevent the approotli. if strangers, and

Ileteredeed 6s going I. England, he nolo is ofer
his 'mites, and know whether Ile could be of soy
use to me in that eseetrt. As I hail been very well
satisfied with his conduct while in my streaky, sod
tbstaght Ms fidelity might be safely relied on, I pro. I
posed that he should bytes, the bearer of isms pa per I,
which meld neither eedeelei his personal safety, nor
his seeseienee. To ibis hi replied, that he would
gladly she charge df whatever I liked to entreat
►im with. His visits to Lottgaemid were frequently
repealed iifierwarda, shed alleys with the utmost fa-
cility, until my letter to your Highness being at length
treeemibed, it was estesigned to hint, addressed,
under cove►, to an intimate friend of sloe is Loudon,
with a request that he would forward it. I also told
my friend, it was tve Wager possible to transmit any
'amnions of regard, 'ices by stealth; and that if

which had • the. obliged oft to adopt a-mysterious
course, merely for the purpose of communicating

ass the whole purport of the letter which enclosed
that of your Highness, to the best easy recollection
at least, for all my pews having been sebeequerstly
seized, memory is sow the only guide I have to
follow.
