Is it astonishing, therefore, Sir, that a man, who has been so weak and unfortunate as to offend in one instance, and who is now on his way from his country to the place of his bani.hment, should still retain too much principle to be guilty of the clime of seduction? I trust I have proved, that such a partial regard for virtue and honour, even in the midst of guilt and di-honour, is not incompatible ‘vith hu man nature, so fertile in inconsistencies.
