of it (as far astliey relaUto the liquitlarton of

In addition you will ba pleased to. understand
that, as to the debt due ta yon no pains 5 shall

Will furnish Mr. White, my Attorney, with
your charge s against me, including interest,
and ho may transmit it to me.
I now transmit to Mr. WTijte, fFrighPs note
of hand. It must be endorsed by you before 1
can proceed against Wright. This rascal al
ways contended that he borrowed this money
on his own account. Your word ; was quite
sufficient tn prove" the eontrary-and though
no part of it was eer made, Use of for mevand
though the arbitrator determined against my
being at all responsible I thought myself, and
still think myself, bound to pay you, you put
ting me in a condition ,to recover the money
Croni him which you can at once do by en
dorsing the note of hand. J I ap Well aware
U13 grounds of complaint and :. reproach to
which debtors afways expose themselves, and
1 am not vain enough to expect to escape con
sequences to which ail others are liable ; but
I finally pay to. the "last farthing, those
grounds will be all swept awayand as I am
in no doubt of being, aoleiu a sharpace of
time, to pay every one ?fully. -1 anticipate

tftr 1 have just received yoiiTs ol tho Oth
of November, and carefully and according to
yoaff desirg psruscd the enclosed to Mr. Tipa
per.
. It is frt my Intention ta enter into any con
troversy respecting tliejhonesty or dishonesty
of paying or not paying debts, according to 4
the convenience, of the party owing. It seems "
that if it should ever suit your convenience,
and take nothing from the comforts and cii
jivments of yourself, and family, such com
firts and enjoyments, and rae4ns tftb of dis-.
tiiiguisliingtheniselveVasyouJthink they are
untllliu iu, an una-jsiii i.a,iuuaij aciUicu,
then you think younelf bound to pay your.
debts ; if, on the contrary, that cannot be ef
fected w'ithjt sacrifices on your and their
part, in that case your creditors have no claim
to prefer, and you no duty to perform. Yojl
then stand absolved, rtcfui inord'consc'ient'ia?!
and for this singular reason, because those
who lent you their moncyjwhen you were in
difficultly and distress, in order to save you
and your family fi'om ruin, were and are umi.
bio to protect you cither against your own
fears, or the power of au arhUrMypjiFWnj-
uicnt, under wLich they have the ruislorUine to
live, and to which they. are equally exposed
Thesu (iriiiciplcs which are laughable iu theo
ry, are d'etcst.iblo in practice. That you
should, iiototdy entertain and act upon, hut
ojnly avow them, and blind your own urt- -dcrstanding
or think to blind that" of others,
by such flimsy presences, is one more melan
choly proof of the facility with which self-interest
can assume. the mask of hypocrisy;- and
by means of the weakest sophistry, overpow
er the sironcest understanding. "How true is

Lord nAinc.--.Tho marriage of "this emi
nent lawyer is not generally known, although
it took place so far back as October last, at
Gretna-Green. It is certain that little notice
of this reniakable eveat lias yet appeared ia
the public prints. In October his lordship ar
rived at Gretna, accompanied by Miss Sarah
Buck, the present Lady Erskine, by whom be
bad had several children, out of the wale of

in English, Nature's ner own oaw'd."
In cxprMsing my abhorrence of the pnnci
ile you lay diiwn for your conduct, and con
cerning which you challenge my opinion a
ittle unfairly ; considering the ridicule wil l
which y ob at the same time threaten to over
whelm the) unfortunate wright who presumes to
differ from them, I do notf desiro thatyou should
act upon any other with regard to me; J should
be sorry your family were put to any incon
venience on my account ; should your cir
cumstances eyeir prove so prosperous as to
enable you to discharge your debts without-
infringing upon those new principles or moral
obligation you nave aaopiea, wnicu ior tuu
first time since the commencement of tho.
world have. I believe, been though frequent
ly acted on, "openly promulgated. As to
complaint or reproach iney are mo uhib
of weakness and folly disdain should stifle
them but nothing can or ought ta stifle the
more ordinary and vulgar species, arid
where therois not the will or the power in
the society toyichMrWn protection, ho becomes
clearly absolved..iWlll his engagements, of
every sort, to that society ; because in every
bargain ol every kind it is understood that
both the parties areto continue; to enjoy the
protection of the laws of property.
Eut from the great desire which I have.
not only to return to my native country, but
also to prevent tlie infamous acts levelled
against rae from injuring those persons with
whom I have pecuniary engagements, and
some of whom have become my creditors,
from leclingsof friendship.and .A-desire.to
serve me, I eagerly waive all claim to. this
principle, and 1 shall neglect no means within
my power fully-to pay and satisfy every do
mand. as far as that can be done consistently
with that duty, which calls on me to take care
that my family have the means of fairly ex
erting their industry, and of leading that sorl
of life to which they have a fast claim.
