gentleman who briggs the aforesaid suit against DR..

no sooner saw the above than replied to IT and
addressed the Editors ofthe Evening FATHER, believ

injurious aspersions against any one, without afford

himself. accordingly sent my reply to that paper,
and received the following note, in answer.

Very respectfully yours,
Before three O'clock sent the following commu-
ncation, and of couis e presumed it would certainly
appear to-day Saturday. But the Editor had the
temerty to retain my copy until it was too late to

could not insert it, unless they made sundry atera
tons. l had had enough of mutation in my
pamphlet, to submit to this process again and being
determined, to tell my own story, in my own way,
and in my own language, thought it my duty to de-
cline the honor. will, however, for the present,
leave the Editors of the Tatler to reconcile the for

To the Editor ofthe Evening Tattler:-
DEAR SIR
was sorry to see the Paragraph about myself in
your respectable and well con ctcd journal; not
ter against me, but because it exhibited such malice
and detractive spirit l do not believe any person
regularly connected with your establishment wrote
il, and must, therefore, take il written by Mr.. Ia
sistro, who, In my opinion, alone could, small
space, manage to have crowed many contradic-
tions. hthere were any spec tic charge should be
