The following is a copy of the letter which
Lord George Sackville sent, on his arrival in
London, to Lord Holdernesse:

"My Lord,

I have the honour of acquainting your
Lordship with my arrival in England, in pur-
suance of his Majesty's permission, sent to
me, at my request, by your Lordship.

I thought myself much injured abroad
by an implied censure upon my conduct;
I find I am still more unfortunate at home,
by being publicly represented as having neg-
lected my duty in the strongest manner, by
disobeying the positive orders of his Serene
Highness Prince Ferdinand: as I am con-
scious of neither neglect nor disobedience of
orders: as I am certain I did my duty to the
utmost of my abilities: and as I am persuaded
that the prince himself would have found,
that they had no just cause of complaint a-
gainst me, had he condescended to have en-
quired into my conduct, before he had ex-
pressed his disapprobation of it, from the
partial representation of others.

I therefore most humbly request, that I
may at last have a public opportunity given
me, of attempting to justify myself to his
Majesty, and to my country, by a court-
martial being appointed: that if I am guilty,
I may suffer such punishment as I may have
deserved: and if innocent, that I may stand
acquitted in the opinion of the world: but
it is really too severe to have been censured
unheard, to have been condemned before I
was tried, and to be informed neither of my
crime, nor of my accusers. I am, my Lord, &c.
George Sackville."
