Having thus placed our character as a gentleman
be- ond the possibility Of question, probably
competent to make one or too observations. Firs.,
tben it il our impression that ths letter does not
tibit The Count de Gurowsk in perfectly creditabe

uopnted false and cslumnious Now, a. il seems that
these allegations made without any ground, and

submit that it would have been appropriate for him TO
make for bis calumny very different apology from
