TO THE EDITOR O¥ THE EXAMINER.

Sir,—I perceive by the Islander of last evening's that its Editor has condescended to bestow further notice yoo, me in its columns. Condescended, I said. Yes, for is it nos _unexampled condescension on the part of a gentleman of Mr, | M‘Lean’s reputable talents to hold any correspondence, ej private or public, with a person designated by himself '“ wayside bellowsemending tinker.” Now, 1 take oppertunity of informimg M‘Lean, and all the faction of which _he is the hireling, that they may attack me with all the vituperative language, and abusive epithets that their foul imaginations can invent, I care not a straw about them, ,

“ For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind, Which I respect not.”

Since their abuse does me no real injury, and is to them “ their chief, amaist their only pleasure,” it would be selfish ness in me to endeavour to deprive them of it,

As for the tribes of tinkers and Gipsies that infest different parts of Britain, I know nothing about them, as I never | themselves or the country they live in; hut M‘Lean scemstg be perfectly acquainted with them. The familiarity with which he speaks of their names and customs, together with the strange mystery in which his past life is involved, would warrant the assumption that he was an accomplice in their depredations. it would not be in aecordanee with the recognized rules of common cotrtesy were I not to thank Mr. M‘Lean for the gratuitous advice which be gave me in his last letter.

. . ; > - the boat, until all were supposed to be killed. The Russians |

jumped into the boat, and after throwing several dead bodies overboard, lying on the arms in the bottom of the boat they found Henry Gliddon, A. B.,. who was only wounded ; they - took him out of the boat and bayoneted him on the wharf ; John Brown, lying beside him, and severely wounded, feigned death ; he was dragged from one end of the boat to the-ather, but luckily not thrown overbeard. They then took the ;¢rms, magazine, colours, &e., for which they will no doubt nave a Te Deum sung. The officers were shot dowa, and, the libe- rated prisoners first. Dr. Easton was the first who fell, and the Fiunish captain took the flag of truce from Lieut Geneste, and waved it, shouting, ‘ A flagof truce !’—which had been previously explained to them before they fired. The Russians

spoke English, and the person who led them, from his dress |

and appearance, seemed io be an officer. The Russians yelled and fired on the men before they could defend themselves, indeed there was not an attempt made.” The boat was found to be completely riddled above the water line; it was lucky she escaped without a hole through her bottom, as she would have filled. It was evident that ihe Russians jntended to have left none to tell the tale, but it has pleased Providence toordain it otherwise. The chips fired a few shot and rockets at the telegraph, but a fog coming on they were obliged to hau! out into deoper water. There were no troops seen ; the cowardly ruffans had evidently gone away. It was not thought prudeut to attempt to get the remaining bodies.

FALL OF ANAPA,

Intelligenea has been received at the Admiralty that the Russians have evacuated Anapa, and are supposed to have crossed the Kouban. The Circassians are in the place.

The evacuation of Anapa by the Russians completes the series of brilliant successes which have rapidly followed the occupation of the Straits of Yenikale by the allied flects. “To surrendér Anapa to the Circassians was to abandon the last result of 25 years’ incessant warfure, and to relinquish the most important of the Russian stations on the eastern coast of the Kuxine. It is the loss not only of a fortress and of a district, but of one cf the chief lines of communication with the Trans-Caucasian provinces. The town of Anapa, situate on the north-east coast of the Euxine, at the northern termi- nition of the’ Caucasian range, 47 miles south-east of Yenikale, is isaabited by a miscellaneons population of Circassians, ‘dar art, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Russians, and othere, to

Correspondence.

To Mx. Duncan Maczzay. Deneax ;—

While impressed with. the conviction that no credit can be gained by renewing a correspondence with a person who has obtained such an uvenviable notoriety as you have, by your frequent exhibitions of spleen and malevolence, I am never- theless ihduced to risk my claim to public respect and con- sideration by answering your silly aud impertinent letter of the 20 instant. The time and space devoted to this answer may be misapplied ; but if it be, 1 shall have, at least, a little amusement ; and as you have given abundant evidence of the discovery, on-my part, of a very sore spot om your uncom- monly tough hide, it may be goed for the public morals to add a supplement to the castigation I lately gave you. The most hardened of criminals are not unfrequently brought to a sense of justice by a liberal use of the rod.

Your letter sets out with informing me that “three or four years ago you cautioned me, at my peril, uct to invent nor publish any calumnies concerning you, of matters alleged to have occurred beyond the bounds of this Colony, and that { did not despise the warning so long as juries were sum- moned by an officer of the Supreme Court,” &e. Duncan, I have no recollection of any such “ warning,” but if ever offered, it is quite certain that I treated it with that full measure of contempt which I accord to every thing that comes from you. As to inventing or publishing calumnies about you, your character has been too loug black enough in the public estimation, to require any aid from my pen towards giving it a darker hue. You have distanced all competition in that respect. For four years at leust you bave laboured with untiring zeal to convince the little world of P. E. island how much you covet the reputation of an unmitigated ruffian in preference to that of an honest man. In the language of your country’s poet, you have

«* D———-d yourself to save tie Lord the trouble.”

Your remark about juries not being now summoned by an officer of the Supreme Court, either proves your old propen- sity to lying, or an unpardonable ignorance of the law which regulates the summoning of juries. The “officer of the Su- preme Court” whom you wish to libel, by. implication, as being corrupt, is the Sheriff of the County. It so happens that the duties of that office for Queen’s County are now dis- charged by one who has been fur many years a supporter of the party that employs you. I presume he retains his old prejudices and opiuions, but I will not do him the injustice

by saying that you could make a better, and of course an! honester living by gathering manure for your little farm, than by writing editorials for the Isvander. Nodoubtofit. Now I repeat the promise ; but 1 annex this condition: that its fulfilment will depead on your really and truly going into the Supreme Court as a suitor in an action for defamation. You know you promised this favor to the Advertiser on two or three occasions, bat you funked, and the “ officer of the Supreme Court” was not then exclusively chosen by the Government. If you break your promise to me, as I am afraid you will do, I must only say that I regret there is po law to punish you for a breach of promise in such cases.

Your letter, Duncan, of the 2d July, has been under the heel of my boot for the last hour. I take it up now—to light my second cigar. It is putting it to a decenter use than it deserves; but if you write me another letter I won’t promise to treat it with so much respect. You ought to be grateful to me for even acknowledging the receipt of a letter not post-paid. Don’t you know, old miser, that it is a fun- damental rule with editors not to take any notice whatever of such letters ?

You ask me to publish your foolish letter, “and for pay- ment to enter it against the balance I have owed you for the last ten years.” Now, you are well aware that I never had any transactions with you since the time of the Pallatium, and you are well aware that I never received, during that time or any other time, but thirty shillings of your money, for which you received more than ten times the value. [ annes a memorandum of your account, taken from the Palladium Ledger :—

Dr. ). Maclean to E. Whelan. Sept. 4, 1843.—To subscription to Palladium,

Unwarranted as McLean's attacks upon nly character is, I would, in accordance with my former resolution, have refrained from making any reply to him, were it not for the malicious and cowardly attack which he has made upon the character of R. K. Gilbert, Esquire, because he had the moral courage and candor—unbiased by party influence—to tell what he knew to be truth concerning the character of a person belied and slandered by him and his party.

Whatever little injury MeLean’s falséhoods and misrepre- sentations may do to Mr. Gilbert’s character in this place, in which he is not known, { am certain that in the conntry in which he resides, he is too widely known and respected, and his position in society too high to be affected by them.
