[We wrote the following article on the day after oar inser-
tion of the second extract for Mr. o•Moara's interestioe
Work; but press of matter has, till sow, excluded It from
our columns.]
We said, in oar paper of the 17th ultt., in speaking
of the Times, that it certainly is dyads: in its old
age. Nothing less•ean account for the article in the
Times, respecting O'histann'e Book. That Journal
vents 'tit rage against the injured prisoner of St. He-
lens, and his leanest historian, like (to use his own
filthy words, in speaking of NAN:memo) " like a eery
drab." The following passage, in the article we have
&laded to, will chew an imbecility of mind, 'quailed
ooly by its wickedness. " Whether," (s is the Times)
" any needless restrictions were imposed merely with
a view to create irritation, it is difficult to say, after
reading an account wholly on one side; but this at
least will bebbrious to any one who turns over even
the first hundred pages of the work—that there was
provocation enough given by the petulance of the pri-
soner to excite the spite of the Governor, if the latter
were not possessed of a mageauimous spirit."—Now,
as to needle,: restrictions, and immeasurable vexations,
inflicted upon the illustrious Prisoner of St. Helena,
wo believe the whole world are agreed on that subject,
and despise England for the lowness of her revenge.
It is not now a question about IRRITATIONS, or the
CAVIES OF TRAM j and it chewed a strong sense, in
the Times, of its degraded character, to let anch an
olseervation slip from it. Thisfeeide, useless attempt of
the Times to cover the caves of the irritation, by
making ao ("of the fact, is below what we have
usually seen, even in the meanness of the Times,
which Journal is really becoming proverbial for Lo-
bed!e and dirty conduct. But the Times could dis-
cover, by turning over the first hundred pages of
(rat iAnA's work, "that there was provocation enough
given by the petulance of the prisoner, to excite the
spite of the Governor, if the latter were not possessed
of a magnanimous spirit." Unfortunate and ignorant
Times Did it, in your apprehension, require a mag,lla-
uiatous spirit to resist and banish the spite which the pri-
soner's petniance might hate excited I We will take the
whole actions of theprisoner to have been one continued
scene of parlance. Did that call fur spite in the Gover-
nor ? Did it justify a moment's spite in the Governor's
mind? The lowest TURNKEY in NVITRA TR will tell
you, that idea is too bate for Aim ; and he would
spurn at it. Where did you (the Times, we speak to)
where di.l you God this idea? It chews something
villainously low in the composition of your mind, to
have it tine so readily to your tongue or pen. Bit
what was this petulance of the prisoner ? Had there
been petulance in his conduct, who could have won-
der/4 at it th it had a gaolet 's pity only, would
not have made allowance far it ? Hut wiscre was it ? And

" Unclog the short interview that this governor had
with me io my bed-chamber,' continued he, ' one 9(
the first things which be prorated was, to 'end u
away, and to take his own sargeon in your place. This
he repeated twice; and so earnest was be to gain his
object, that although I gave him a most decided refusal,
when be was going out he turned about and again pro-
posed it. I never saw such a horrid countenance. He
sat on a choir opposite to my sofa, and ou the little table
between us there was a cap of coffee. liis physiognomy
made such so unfavourable impression upon me, that I
ordered Marchand to throw it out of the window;

" This Governor, said he, e imbecile. He
asked Bertrand the other day, if Ce (Bertrand) ever had

whether they intended to go to Frazee, as, if be had
done so, he must continue such a practice. Bertrand
replied, that he certainly had, and moreover, bad begged
of some to tell his relations, that they were in gaol
health. ' But,' says this imbecile, you must Dot do
so.' Why,' says Bertrand, • has not your Govern-

Ihe Coquille will 6rat sail for the Cape of Good

lore. She will also visit the points of the western
last of t.ew Holland, which were oh d towards

THE STA'

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received our Correspondent's letter from Dover.
complaining that hi■ Newsmen frequently substitutes
other Papers (erith him) fee the nvernsmitc. We ere
sorry to say that we bear a like complaint from various
quarters. Bet we think we can tell oar Yrimds how to
pot an end to this shameful imposition. When a Belitt-
le.* sends any person another piper instead of that which
is ordered, that person is not obliged to pay for it. Le!.
then, such of our Friends as are tricked in this way. con-
stantly refuse to pay for all pipers sent without orders.
and the evil they eomplain of will seen cease.—We have
another leUer before us, which is somewhat more difficult
to answer. It gives us an order for the ST •TP 'MAN ; bet
tells us, it is not for the person who writes, but (or the
Landlord of an Inn (in ■ Market Town) who dare oat or-
der
the STATESMAN himself, for fear of losing kis li-
entre. This is a case of gross oppression and injustice.
whoever are the parties our Correspondent anodes to. It
is palpably • fraud upon the Proprietors of the STATES- 1
was; but we are willing to pass that by, as far 33.1 re are
concerned. But the tyranny with which the panics to
whom the letter alludes seek to injure and finally ruin an
Innkeeper, because be or his Customers prefer the ST AT LI-
Nati. is of the basest kind ; but we confess, we know not
of soy 'dyke we can give to our Correspondent on the
occasion. We shall seed the Paper to his Order.
