tion ; you censure Mr. Canning for not turning evi-
dence against his colleagues, and then tell us that a
King's evidence " is destitute of that honour which is
said to be among thieves." I shall now in mercy
drop this part.of your letter. I never intended to give
Mr. Canning the character of a saint. I merely consi-
dered him so in comparison with Mr. Bathurst. I
now come to the last, to the most important part of
your epistle. When speaking of Mr. Bathurst, you
inform us that " he was not in the Cabinet when the
plot was maturing,and, until we know to the contrary,
we are bound to presume, that bad he been there, he
might not have been the slave to power, to the extent
of sacrificing his honour to the " Vritis inetentis
tgranni." Here, Sir, you brand Mr. Bathurst with more
opprobrious epithets thanany I have thought proper
to apply. A reference to the Red Book will inform
you that that gentleman was really a member of the
CabOet during the whole period you allude to, and
was not, as you assume, only promoted to that honour
when he succeeded to the situat;on of Mr. Canning.
Upon your own argument, you now,Sir, stand self-con-
victed ; you acknowledge Mr. Bathurst to be far worse
than I described him. You have made the complexion
Of his character of a more sable cast than even ors/ seri-
rinty was capable of. You are the same unfortunate
friend to Mr. Bathurst, as Sir Wm. Draper was to the
Marquis ofOranby (vide Junius) who, if you recollect,
was requested by hi* Lordship to discontinue writing
in his favor, as the effusions of his pen were far more
injurious than his silence. Should you, however, Sir,
happen not to be a friend of Mr. Bathurst, I cad readily
find a reason fur your oversight in not discovering that
that Gentleman was previously in the Cabinet. His
abilities may be conspicuous to the Ministry, but I am
sorry to say, they are not equally so to the public.
Having now, as I conceive, fairly refuted your letter,
I shall for one moment revert to my own, to rebut
your general charge of scurrility. I neither insinu-
ated nor asserted any thing contrary to the private re-
spectability of Mr. Bathurst, and with respect to his
public character, I merely said what I verily believe
to be true. I said that nature had been sparing when
his &culties were formed. And this belief, in compli-
ment to proved ability, I am bound to continue, till
that gentleman will favor us with the fro proof of his
capacity. VIRtIIIIIII4.

isZTTSO FROM TUI 111740 01 FIANCE TO THZ SINS
Or xArLas.

The following document is extracted from a Naples
journal of the sth instant, received yesterday :
" Sire, my brother—.!midst the circumstances in
which the events of the last five months have placed the
states confided by Providence to the care of your Ma-
jesty, you could nut fur an instant ha-e doubted of the
contineed interest felt by ins towards you, and of my
prayers both for your individual happiness and that of
your people. Your Majesty ie est ignorant of the
powerful motives that hare impeded the more early im-
pression of the sentiments with which 1 am animated.
and of that counsel whirls Ifalt.assiboalmeti, hp alhe most

sincere friendship to offer you. But I cannot now allow
myself to hesitate longer. Informed by my allies at
Troppen of the invitation sent by them to your Ma-
jesty, I ought to unite my instant's with theirs, both as
the member of as alliance whose object is to secure the
tranquillity and independence of every state, and as the
Sovereign Ma people friendly to the nation governed
by your Majesty, if not as a sincerely affectionate rela-
tive. I cannot too strongly urge you to coon: and assist
in person at the new congress of my allies that is abost
to take place. I can assert to you, Sire, that their views
in this congress are to reconcile the interests and ge-
neral welfare, that the paternal solicited, of your Ma-
jesty would desire for your people, with the duties they
are theentelves pledged to fulfil to their states and to
the world. The moat pure glory awaits your Majesty.
Too will assist in Axing the basis of social order in
Europe ; you will preserve your people from the mis-
fortunes that threaten them ; and secure, by that accord
which is so necessary between power and liberty, theft
felicity and prosperity through a long series of gene-
rations. If my infirmities bad permitted, I should wil
Jingly have accompanied your Majesty to this august
congress; but when you perceive that in writing this
letter I have been compelled to avail uyself of the band
of soother, you will easily judge of the impossibility
umber which I am placed of following on Ibis point the
impiees of my heart.
ffou may rely, notwithstanding, that those of my
ininisters who may assist there in my same, will omit
nothing in furnishing you with all the support you
might have expected from sue. Your Majesty, in tak-
ing a determination conformable to the wish manifested
by use anti my allies, will convey to your people an as-
surance of your affection by to much the greater, inas-
much as that determination; I feel wholly convinced, will
be the most certain means of securing to them the bles-
sings of peace and rational liberty.
" 1 request your Majesty to accept the expression of
the sentiments of esteem, of friendship, and of high con-
sideration, with which 1 am, Sire, nsy brother, your Ma-
jesty's true brother, (Signed) " IS."
