Ne publish to day the ans yer of Chevalier wikoff
to the complaint Of Miss CANDLES courier for an
alleged libel said to be contained in the celebrated
book entitled "My Courtship and its Consequences"
The answer completely settles the matter at issue,
aud leaves little to perpex jury. We think that
n. Vsnnod the courier, ought to feel himself under
an obligation to the author of my Courtship aud
its Consequences" 1t sppesrs that the courier had
been charged before the tribunals at Genoa with
great crime-with having betrayed his trust, and
tia: courier to single lacy whom he was spe-
cially bound to protect. He Vas tried, convicted
and condemned to Imprisonment: by Genoese tri
bunal Without the explanation Of that affair which
Mr.. wikof gives, showing that bis (Mr. VS. inten
tons towards Miss Gamble were strictly honorable,
the public would have been perfectly justified in the
conclusion that the conviction Of the courier was
just and bis punishment deserved. There is nothing
in the book in question to sustain the complaint Of
vannod that be has been grossly libelled. There is
nothing stated therein which imputes TO him the
grave offences 30 entstiously paradea 10 that COM
plant as q great wrong done to him by the author
of tie book He is introduced in q playful manler,
and bis conduct so explained as TO defeni hi from
the very chsrges be complains Of. after reading
the book We have o much more favorable opinion of
Is. Louis vannod than we had after his conviction,
and before the publication of "My Courship and its
Consequences"
