Your Excellency will excuse me for believ- ing, that throughout your unlooked for letter, there is much special pleading, without premices, and generalities which cannot apply to the case--that not to answer this letter ,vould be subscrib~ing to your erro- neous positions which makes both Dr. Archer, and myself capable of injustice to Col. Bee, and of the injury to the country.- My appo!ogy then, for again addressing your Excellency is neither desire or hope of serving Dr. Archer further_ than a just vindication against positions which your letter seems inclined to make us occupy and which would be neither creditable to the applicant for or the recipient of your favours.-The only pardon I crave, is for this infliction of a letter which has grown upon me to a tedious length, and which may prove still more uninteresting to your Excellency.- The unnecessary importance which I think you have given my application, seemed to make it proper that I should submit both your letter and this answer to Dr. Archer, and he requests me to assure your Excellency in these words,- that ''he never desired, sought, or expected, favour at your hands by being appointed to any office within your gift by which he could be benefitted."
