Sir, bave the honour to acknowledge your | (JOMPOSITORS WANTED-Apply at doing business on moderate charges, be frusts to Excellency's note of this morning. My letter was not written upon the assumption that the Journal des Débats was the organ of the Government of his Majesty, although, in the very article copied. that journal is qualified as the principal organ of the French Government. Its object, as stated, was to vindicate my reputation, public and private, as grossly assailed under the very eye of the French Government, in a place and from which gave to the calumny a certain degree of anothority before the world. I presume, therefore, that in marking our note 'private' (particulier) it is not intended by your Excellency that it is not to be used by me in any manner which I might think proper to attain
that end.
I avail myself of this occasion to renew to your Excellency the assurance of my high consi- deration
