THOMAS GOODE.

HEREBY certify, that some time in
the month of March last, was employed
by Thomas Goode, to make saddle for
him, plated with lead, to weigh about 1Olbs.
of size and shape which he then made
choice of few days afterwards receiv-
ed note from him, requesting me to
make "another saddle Vt the same size and
likeness QeaG excepted)" of the one above
mentioned, which saddles were made and
sent to hjn--As n considerable time had
elapsed since the saddles were made, was
under the impression that they were pre-.
cisely alike in appearance and had so stat.
ed 1t, but upon exam aination fad myself
mistaken. The two saddles are of the
same seze and shape, but OWING to the alb
sence of my foreman, the workm an-ship is
different the heavey saddle is made plain,
the other is full welted, with white seams,
the webbing also is different. Given un.
der my hand this 25th day of May, 1909.

SIR John Moore's Letter, which we this
day publish, is authentic and satisfactory
evidence, that whatever may have been the
desire of the Spaniards to prevent their
country from being fef of France, they
had an unconquerable aversion to receiving
any assistance from the British. The
third paragraph of the letter shews, that
though the Spaniards did not actually take
up arms against the English, they took
trouble to avoid them, and refused 8. the
smallest aid to the army"
1t also appears, that the British army it
self was in such state of INSTRUMENTATION
and INSTRUMENTATION, that the commander in
Chief declared, ne could " say r,tkinr in
its favor" Another difficulty which great
ly embarrassed tbs later operations of the
army was, that the Transports in which it
was to re.embark, we're not in readiness
until some days after the British had rea.
ched Coriinna. This it was, which gave
time to the French army to come UP, and
compelled abattle, the severity and saugh-
ter OF which, will long be deplored. This
letter explains mare clearly than any thing
yet published, the causes which in SO shore

the Spanish Patriots.-pREss.

he had weighed them but had NOT taken

The captain affirmed that he had direct

mate liar The lie was returned-upon
which the captain pulled the mate by the

The mate REPLIED" bring np your pistols,

a par OF pistols out of the cabin, and on
presenting one to the mate he said,
