P"'. W 'ea'e u, entered III any degree whatsu-
ever INTO his motives for distraiuing my pro
perry. as he asserts. The only conceivable
foundation for his assertion is that, Just be-
lure my confinement, he came, abruptly, and
without notice, into my room, aud said il l
couid not pay the rent, must leave the house !;
ne made no definite demand of possession
nor was there another word said on the sub
Ject; but he proceeded, without further no.
t'ce' TO distran, in less than month after
my confinement. Now, il Mr.. Keer meant
only to assert that he was induced to dis,rain
oy my utter inability to leave it during the in
term.diate time, have nothing 10 say against
the Jdct Of his being actuated by such mo-
| tive.
| secondly. Mr.. Kerr next undertakes to as
sign the notices of Mrs. Adams for interior.
'og in my behalf; and it suits his turn to de-
preeiate and uaiisn the motives of that unof-
fcnding, refined, and benefcent lady /: as if
she had acted the interested and sordid part
OF running in debt to me, 81 as a milimer,"
and then, with assumed benevo f" paint
ing my DISTRESS" and surrepttiousIy enlisting
Mr.. keer's sympathes in my behalf, for the
paltry purpose If getting Indulgence for me,
mat might extend il 10 her. In his intro
ductory address to the Edieur of the Wash
ms on Gazette, he utters sheer, well beiit-
ting man Of his breeding, manners and moral
feeling; and just in the style TO be expected
from the hacker and certfrr Of the sian,ierous
trash contained in the publications Of himself
or MS associates, on this subject. He there
says, knew nothing of the connerion be-
tween MIR. A. aud this iooma,, nor was it nv
business to inquire. He admitted in bank,
that Mrs. A. owed her an account" Sc. And
10 his statement" he says, she hapinp an
account with Mrs. A. as a miuiner got her 10
Interfere, which she did, by note, paintny the
distress ofthls woman" 1t is not for me to
speak, IN terms of just reprobation and con-
tempt, of imputations gu uumanly improb
able and absurd my business is now simply
with fhe Jacts: yet, in confederation of the
testimony shall Offer, l may be permitted
10 remark the palpable contradiction in which
hir. IL. has here involved himself He pro-
lessrs, IN his introductory address, entire ic-
torrance Of the connerion' between Mr. 4.
and myself-ihat is, presume, he was at a
loss TO divine why, or under what Inducements,
Mt. a. had been prevailed upon to assist me (:
and YET, IN his IS statemeni," and in his letter
10 Mr. "A. he professes TO have understood
and known, most distinctly, that itzhad been
lowing entlrely 10 the interposition and entrea
lies of Mrs. A.; and he even Processes To
know all the particulars SD mnuteIy and au-
tneuucaly, as To be able To assign Mrs, A's
specific motives for interfering.
NOW, aver the whole statement of Mr..
Kerr, in this respect, 10 be utterly false and
malicious. had, il is true, occasionally done
