Evtey day this week, the Ministerial papers have, in the mass, at- tacked Lord Brougham ; whom, in the climax of spiteful wit, they have nicknamed " 01(1 Puck." This is a severe retort for the Indemnity Bill and the speeches thereon, and must surely mollify Lord Durham's wrath. Will Brougham survive the blow ?
Mr. Thomas Bisset, of the East India Military Seminary, in a letter to the Chronicle, corrects a statement of Mr. Leader respecting Mr. Thom of Montreal. That person, he says, retired from the edi- to.ship of toe Montreal Herald upwards of a twelvemotith ago. He adds, that his conference with Mr. Charles Buller Lad reference to the seignorial rights; and that, " though the terror of traitors," be is looked upon as " one of the most talented and excellent and rising men of the Canada.s." It is a pity that Mr. Bisset could not have followed up his eulogium by denying that Mr. Thom ever used the savage ex- pressions towards the Canadian prisoners imputed to him.
The Morning Chronicle publishes a letter from Louis Berthier, a French Canadian, to the Duke of Wellington, full of thanks for his Grace's support of Lord Brougham's Indemnity Bill. The simple writer appears to think that the Duke sympathizes with the defeated party in Canada, and that he will be among the first to " pardon " their efforts in "a good and righteous cause." Iii fact, the letter looks more like a hoax than a genuine document.
