ance, that it was universally ascribed to
the pen of Mr.. Southey, and never, so far
as he COULD learn, denied by that gentle
man. A writer who is thus willing tacit-
ly to stand sponsor to a work, and wear
the honcrs of its paternity, has no right to
complain ofbeiugtreated with injustice, il
he receives reasonable chastisement for
its faults andofences. Ifhe will wear the
colors of an enemy, he must expect to be
treated as such until the mistake is discov-
cred.
There is one other misapprehension, not
of mine but of Mr.. Southey, that feel my
self called upon to correct. never as
serted that the Laureat was the Editor Of
the Quaterly Review, but only that he
wrote many of the principal papers IN that
publication, which in the character of the
Champion of Church and state, disgraces
the one by its violence, and weakens the
other by its support. This was assumed
On such authority as we have for most of
what we believe in this world-the opin-
ions of the people around us, and the tes-
tim0ny OF friends in whom we have conf
dence. a gentleman then lately from
England, and who was much in the litera-
ry circles, informed me that the Laureat
wrote the article on the Poor Laws, and
some others which I do not recollect.
This explanation is rather made in JUS
tice to myself, thanas due to MIR. Southey,
who had he taken the method he first
thought of, that of writing to me, would
have received an apology as public and
ampl. as heart could wish. I regret that
hedid not, for it would have given me
pleasure to atone for my mistake and its
consequences. AS it is, I can now only
congratulate him upon having cleared HIM
self from the disgrace of this monstrous
libel upon the human race, and promise,
as some little atonement, to praise his
next Birth Day lOde with all my might,
even though my conscience should prick
me for it ever afterwards.

THE FIGHTING PRELATE.

King Richard 1. in one of his battles
with the French, took Philip de Dreux, Bish-
OPP of Beauvais, prisoner. The Pope in
terceded for his liberty, in letter where
in he styled the fighting Bishop his dearly
betored SON. The King by way of answer.
sent the Bishops suit Of armour, stained
with blood and covered with dust, to the
Pope, and asked him, aohether Ike kne,o his
sons coat orno? The Pope was ashamed
at the sight, and left the Bishop to Rich
ards mercy.-A lesson this to Political
Clergy, to turn their attention more to
their Masters kingdom, which is not of
this world, and to be persuaded, that God
can govern the nations of the earth without
their aid. .Tslo Brunsw;ck Times.

OBTTUARY-

With the liveiest emotions of sorrow, it
is our painful duty to announce to our rea-
ders, and the public, the death of his hon
or, CHAUNCEY GOODRICH, lieuten-
ant governor of this state, in the 57th year
of his age. For six months past he had
suffered under painful and threatning
disease, which, for the last few weeks had
exhibited symptoms of very alarming ma
ture. On Friday last, he had appeared
through the day rather more comfortable
than usual; in the morning he walked
nearly half mile, and rode out twice in
the course Of the day. For few minutes
after returning from the last ride, he con-
versed cheerfully with the family with
whom he lived when suddenly, he com.
planned of feeling faint, aud in a moment.
a few minutes after FIVE O'Clock in the az
ernoon he expired without a struggle or a
groan. Thus have his friends been depri.
we'd of one, in whom their hearts delighted.
this city of its most respected and distin-
guished inhabitant, and the state of a
Statesman and a magistrate Of most ex-
allied character. A further account of this
great and good man will, Providence per-
hitting, be given hereafter.

patriots were well supplied with arms & ammuni-

place to the last extremity. They had taken 9
Spanish trans ports, one of which had 27O men on
board, among whom were the Governor and Cap
tain General of Panama. There was on board
the transport, 1000 muskets, sc. a quantity OF
powder, balls, shells, &c. The patriots have a.
bout $500 troops in the city, and 1000 on the

MR.. soUTHEY.

10 The Editor Of the London Courier
SiR--A pamphlet has been transmitted to me
IRON New-York, entitled The United States and
England; being reply 10 the criticism on
Jnchiquin's Letters, contained in the Quarterly
Review for January, 1914. In this pamphlet the
writer assures the American people, that am
the editor of the Quarterly Review and the au.
thor ofthe political article which has excited his
indignation.
Allow me, Sir, to reply, through the medium
OF the Courier; a very few lines viii suffice -
there can be no better means of making nv re.
ply known IN America-and in this country, as
well as in that, it may beuseful to shew the ex-
cce,ing improperly of attacking man as the
author 81 an anonymous publication, without the
fullest proof that he is SOL did not write the
criticism Of hchquin's Letters, and every body
in England who knows the Quarterly Review,
knows that am not the editor oft.
Had the American writer observed any kind of
decency IN ms attack, would have addressed a
private letter to him, through his publisher, re-
questing that he would publicly acknowledge his
mistake, and thereby atone, as farashs could, for
anunprovoked wrong. But the styleand temper
OF his pamphlet precludeal courtesy ON my part:
nor shall Icondescend to notice him further than
to express hope that this letter may be copied
into the American papers. 4 writer this stamp
would probably neither have sufficient sense of
honor to believe my dsayowal, nor to make il
public.
