1 peorxeded.)-:-Gentlemen, it so happened, that at this Jane-
' hire a new Civil Governor, Baron Ascii, was appointed, and to
bias I stated the cruel circumstances ander which I was detained. 1
pile very candidly said that I was either innocent or guilty: if
lenocent I ought to be discharged, and if guilty I ought to be 1
fried. Ile took up my cause, for I had no friends besides: I
was surrounded by enemies ; but be generously stepped forward, ,
•and bringing the matter into a Court of Justice, I obtained •
judge:resit ngainst the whsle party, including the Military Go-
vensor who had injured me. I proved the falsity of the charge,
and stewed that the only oaject of the infernal league was to
extort from me a large sum of money.
" On my arrival in Petersburgle what was it fit that I should.,
do? What you or any man woold have done under such circum-
stances. I felt myself injured in my fotstme, and above all, in
my reputation. Should 11 not go to the Minister of Justice for
the vindication of my honour? Was it nota duty I owed to my-
self to impeach the /dithers Governor by whose hand such tor-
ture had been inflicted ? 1 did so ; I made application to Count
Kotzebue, then, Minister of the Interior, and I brought two
charges against my persecutor; Ist, for having written A letter,
the contents of which were 11119 e and foul, for the purpose of
perverting justice; 'ldly, for havins detained me for aepeqsne
of extortion. Count Kotzebue bad the affair investigated in.,
most of the departments at A rchang,el, and finding my statement
accurate, he gave me a document which enabled me to bring my
ease before the Senate, that a full and fair investigation might
take place. It had previously devolved into the hands of Prince
Chatterinsky: Minister of Foreign Affbirs„ by whom it was laid'
heti-ire the Emperor,-from Whence it was transmitted to the Se-
pate, to be determined according to the law. Just at this period
Lord Gower arrived, and I pat the papers into his hands, that
they might be laid before the Senate. I continued with Mrs.
Bellingham during that time, she being then at St. Pefersburgh,
which I had reached. Before the Sroate 1 produced nay corn
plaints. but before any. decision was had, I found myself arrested
on two charges, the one criminal, and theother dad, and I was-
' dra,oged from may family, thrown again into prison, where I
conttaued for no leas a spate than two years! These were trials
that nonld how the proudest head, and sink the noblest heart.
, Think, tientiensen, what.l endured, and what was my offencel
Nothiag : there was nut the shadow of proof against me. 1 was
accused, hots ever, of having quitted Archangel clandestinely,
! It was falsehood from beginning to end ; yet this they called giv-
ing me justice. This, thank Gov I is not the way it is adenine-

to listen to my complaints, and who must have been an unmoved
