GLEN Cove, June 5. 1852
In consequence of some misstatsments regard
ing nv escape, which have just seen in two OF
three of the European papers, and which appear
to have been copied from an Australian p per,
think il right to set the true facts before the
American public. 10 whom alone | now hold
myself responsible.
The remarkable kindness have experienced
from the press, and the public generally, ever
since my arrival in this noble country, and the
anxiety feel To have it understood that am
not deficient in the honorable spirit which quail
flies stranger to become it's citizen, compel
me to break the silence which no act or word,
on the part of my enemies could disturb.
The facts are these -
In the month of April, 1851, was called upon
to renew my parole. did 60 in writing, and
in the following words
| hereby pledge my word Of honor not to
leave the colo iy, so long as | hold ticket of
leave.
handed this pledge to the police magistrate
in the open court. Any one can see 1t who
wishes to refer to il.
Towards the end Of December, the same year,
| c me to the determination of attempting my
escape Accordingly. on the Sd of January las',
sent the following letter TO the ppce magis-
trate of the district in which resided
