MRS. CLARKE.

This singular woman is not yet likely 70
cease from affording the world subject for
conversation: sic does at length appear
as an Author and Editor: The work
which she has published is entitled" The
Rival Princes" and some very disgusting

~ Coles.hill.bouse, June ~,
I" DEAR MADAM
thapk you for the letter which
have received from you. II Is not dated
either as TO time or place, so 1 address
this to you at your old house. Let meknoH

on. I wish ! had some news TO send you
Yin return for your entertaining letter, but
from this sequestered spot you can expect
lnone --indeed, since came here, have
done nothing but attend Bibury-wander
about the fields by MYSELF and eat straw
berries, things which are very entertain
ing and wholesome, but altogether unin-
teresting to relate. Your letter, on the
contrary, is full of interesting matter,
whereon Such hermit as l am at this
place, whether he be of contemp.a,ive
turn of mind or not, might chew the cud
of reflection for many g day. ] think,
from what you say, there will be he'll to
pay, il the matter comes on for trial. The
whole a fair must Out, aud the Royal Bro
Their, Dodd, and Wardle. will be expos.
eI. lament that they do no, foresee This,
or that they did not foresee this, and pre-
! vent tie eclat., do not guess at wha,
the latter meabs TO do. suppose he will
rustic his popularity to bear him through,
but that will not do: for, after all, though
his part has not been so base as that of
Ithc'pfher two, il has been dirty one, and
| he has suffered himself 10 be made an in.
stTunent of by them, The thing, how.
ever, will do no good to the Royal Fsmi.
| ~ in general; for though the Dukes
friends and the Ministry will attempt to
invalidate your testimony, in consequence
| of the promises held out to you, there is
so much evidence in your statenents--s SO
many corTobosating circumstances, and SO
many people know SO many instances Of
the kind, Via, the public will not be in
dnced TO believe your testimony false.
The thing. however, will be doulIess at.
! tempted; and / should not wonder IT lie
Duke was to be relns,aled. ff that should

them some new instances and proofs of
| your power, and The Dukes suhscrvisncy.
| suppose the. pubic prints will endeavour
to mix me up .wi,h the Prc-nsmed Trio
but that Is quite impossible. Whitbrsad,
| Burdet,, and EnyseH, can in no degree be
,nyelved; at leas. Ishaye no doubt but
they are as clear as iSknow myself to be.

Barohet had obtaiped FOE you your letters.
Mrs. Jackson VIII now u easy.
AS Tor Clavering, he isac:ing the part
of perfect IDIOT. The Best thing he
could have 1one, would have been TO have
walked quietly cut oil iis goal and hid
himself, The less ne is heard of the bet
ter for him. Instead OF which, however,
he is, l see, Publishing book CIsyerirg
wiring q book - and as FOR challeng
ing, il he has mind to fight every body
who speaks iii Of him, he will have 10 fire
at every man he meets. The idea cffight
ling with Whilbread. is very bad. He
must take care, OF he viii be running his
foolish head ipto SONG foolish scrape or

u.ent of your Affairs. which should pre-
sumo to be now more dis,an, than ever.
s. am afraid that you viii be tired oil
this scTawi, which is nearly illegibie.
