luded to as Lawyer Heilbuth's, the author
merely sums up a quantity OF stuff, true
and false, and from which he endeavours
to deduce certain conclusions" and, in
another passage he declares, that this
pamphlet was besides intended as a sci
entific work, and, in still another passage
he remarks, sit must be evident to every
body that the productions are those of
some disappointed, peevish person, wishful
of making others believe, that he too had
had revelations

He strikes at his friends he strikes at his foes;
He strikes like a Nadmaa, wherever he goes.
With respect to his remarks, regarding the
press having a tendency to corrupt good man
ners, from certain remarks it appears made by
yourself, | would observe, that in YOUR taking
his letter for insertion in the "Avis," you have
not exercised your accustomed courtesy to this
community, as HIS article contains q Uaigar
adage, which he did not even dare to express
fully, and which generally emanates from a
mind not only enfeebled, but of a most vulgar
tendency and, which from selfrespect and
from a respect TO yourself, and the readers of
your "Avis,' | am under the necessity of not
quoting and, can consequently not comment
ON the differences, which he would have liked
to deduce therefrOm.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do you really think, after
a diSpassionate perusal of Mr.. O. krause's
production, that this youth is likely to be q
sane individual 4! AT any rate, no one 'pos-
sessing a sense of propriety," can continue to
be of that opinion. No one can blame the Gov
eminent, and least those possessing a sense
of propriety,' for not recommending such a one
as he is, under a Royal Grant, to a situation
(may it not be himself he alludes to, when
speaking of the writer in the Secretary's Office,
being as unfit for the "Seeretary's post, as his old
shoes are" y as his s~uperiors have had an Oppor-
tunity, which has until now been withheld from
the public, Of knowing, how silly he can make
himself appear, and, his NOE rushing INTO print
like q mailman, and intermeddling with matters,
which he has sheWn he has no ability to COM
prehend, Qeast any power of reasoning to argue
the case logically through) has apparently
opened the eyes of this community, as to his
utter incapacity, to be any thing else than what
he is at present employed for, viz a copier
Of aR0kher'S sentiments, which, in his perhaps
trying to initiate and to comprehend, and after
wards to adopt as his own, has, it would seem
so bewildered the little intellectual brains,
which Providence has endued him with, that if
proper care be not at once taken of his health,
BY HIS PARENTS, it might result in bis finding
himself, not long hence from the oyerworking of
his little BRAIN the inmate of a lunatic asylum.

Certain of his remarks being extremely per-
sonal, l leave those to be replied to, by the par
ties concerned, but when he asserts that some of
the natives are already sin the highest possible
situations" l would request him to state the
number which HE comprehends under the head
of "some," as l do not know more than taOo
natives land he rightly supposes the word ma
tive to mean ''born here') who hold, at pre-
sent, Royal appointments in the island. Your
correspondents do not however appear to me,
to be abiding to situations from which natives
are debarred, and for which they may or may
not be qualified, from the want of an examine
ton. What they complain of, is the PRINCIPLE
of importing parties from Denmark here, to fill
vacant situations, calling for no legal attain
