The 'Aiming letter, in allusion to the accoest.,4
Yonag Watson, inserted by es. appeared la a Dlorelq
paper of yesterday. Some observations upon' the N:
ter family. the Editor has thought proper to oefft.

insert this letter to counteract. so far silt coo lOW be
dome. the stigma 'which the alma, sod Badmen
resat may cad. at its first reading, apes the peblis
mind, both against my son sod all my wretched family.
You will recollect that my son was declared by. kit!
Preston (at sae of his ezam i
inatione) as being ntoll--
cated at the second Spa-fields Meetleg. This declare-
ration Preston frequently declared was fabricated by
him, as an excuse for his roidaet--4 moot ignorant

cravat., the offence. 1.

Soon after his leading in Americi, lie 3ohrtiori tar

be was enosideted the lest sad most eaistatifie• chemist
is the State ; a gentleman, a surgeon, now in Lando*,
wee intimate with him there, and speaks of him in the
hi hest terms of praise. of his coednet.
From thence he removed to Nashville, be Informed
me, by the desire of Mr. Foyser-.[Here Dr. Watson ea-
ters late some particulars relative to the Papier family,
which we think hotter omitted.]
About March or April, 18110, 11111 American called upon
me, told me lie had lately seen my son; that be bad
married a young lady at nog" the daughter of a
widow of great fortune, and that he bad come in for the
whole property ; subsequently, my son mat me over two
Nashville papers, earls containing an advertisement. of-
fering a certain price (currency) for flax seed; the Editor
recommending the farmers to attend to Mr ,Watson's
advice, to cultivate the seed, as it would be of advantage
eo the State. the public beiug obliged to go to foreign
countries for the oil.
Ile afterwards, in rather a long letter for hies (for he
generally was brief), whaled all the family to lease Eng-
land, and particularly mentioned his mother—he wrote
again to his sister, in Lincolnshire, to come over, that
lie could introduce her.te a most agreeable country-
woman; he sent a letter about the same time to my se-
cond son inviting him over ; and in a second letter, told
hint he had erected mills which would have cost him
twenty thousand pounds (I supposed dollars) in Eng-
land.
It is remarkable that he received very few of the many
letters I sent him ; but in some of his letters he spoke
in severe terms of me, without naming the cause, which
I could not account fur otherwi'e than from misrepre-
sentation, and the lies of some one either in America or
England, and I sent a letter desiring Ilion, if surto a fiend
existed as could poison the mind of a eau against a fa-
ther, to expose him, that the slimy reptile might be held
up to the hatred of the world.
I have known my son to. show many traits of an ar-
dent and generous mind, to express a high sense of do-
dour, to have evinced the warmest feelings of sympathy
and regard for the distressed and forlorn of every class,
and always believed lie would rather bare put a period
to lois existence than to do deeds so foul as those which
have appeared against into in your paper.
I most respectfully beseech toe public will suspend
their opinions and censures, until a farther explana-
tion of the mysterious report; for tattier into consi-
deration his sense of honour—his sobriety in England—
the particulars of his letters—the adrertisements in the
Nashville papers—the evidence they contain ..f his being
engaged in a respectable and extensive branch of trade
—the circumstance of a person wandering about the.
Atlantic States of America personi4ing him, and using
his name to extort money—and the fact that the law in
America does not inflict capital punishment but for mur-
der and arson, altogether cast more than II elllllMolllfigi-
tery upon the account contained in the lialtitnore
paoer, and wakes use hope it is a fabrication of some
evil mind.
Human nature is frail. My son, certainly, in one of
his first letters from Nashville, writes, during a fit of
sickness, in a desponding strain, but accompanied with
some beautiful lines of poetry of lois own composing, so
chaste, moral, and expressive as to go farther to confirm
me in icy opinion that some malignant fate or slander
(which I know but too well the power of in destroying
touonau happiness) attends him to destroy a 'Mud of
great sensibility.
If be has fallen a victim in an evil moment to a mor-
bid state uf mind—bas ceased to exert those rt 'inning
faculties, once so caTahle of reflecting so darply upon
vice and virtue, I can but deplore the infirmities of hu-
man nature—the evils which have befallen my family—
the distresses which have for a long series of years sub.
, jeete.l all my children to more than common trials; but
in the bitterness of my iiilnd I can solace my wounded
soul, and blunt the arrows winch pierce it, iu cootem
plating that in precept and conduct they have always re
ceit sl the most virtuous and moral admouititous and cur.
