Xt>s&7tS£7&3&s£> Mr. Sm ;;, b, I BEG leave, through the channel of your paper, to lay before the public the follow ing : Some time in the month of June last, there was an affidavit of Mr. Thomas E. Dorsey and Mr. Daniel M‘Lean lodged in the Collector’s orfice for the port of Savannah, refpeCtiug my conduCt in measuring of lum ber, in which all they ailedged against me ap . pears' from hearsay, and not froth their own knowledge. The affidavit below is taken by the gentle man from whom they fay they got their in formation, in contradiction to their aflertions, which I think will be iufficient to the public that I am clear of' the charge they ailedged against me. Was it necefiary, I could get certificates from the firft merchants and fac tors of the town aforefaid. to convince the public that I did every thing in my p*wer to comply with the lumber law. But their in tentions are obvious j they wish to monopo lize the whole business, and have it confined in one or two men } but I cannot agree with the gentlemen to even have it confined in five or fix, for at times eight are not fufficient; and it is evident that two men cannot do the bufinds of eight or ten. I do not with to hurt the feelings of any gentleman, but am bound to do myfelf justice ; I fball therefore • fay no more on the fubjeCf, but let the pub lic judge of the following affidavits and fafts themselves.

Ernest, Faftor for Daniel Bor deaux, Esq. of Qiarledon, who has lately had large quantities of lumber for sale at this port, who informed these deponents that the mer chants had refufed to put chafe lumber accord ing to the mcafurement preferibed by the new aft ; that, to induce them to purchase, he had continued to have his lumber measured in the old way by such peri'ons as were agreeable to them ; and that, for the beuefit of exportation, he had declined having his refufe marked with the letter R. and its contents ; that Mr. Palm er, Mr. Irvine, Mr. Sheftall, and Mr White, had done his measuring in the manner afore faid, and had returned their bills accordingly and that he had fold no lumber in any other way. And these deponents further fay, That, from information received from Captains who had left this port, and from sundry other per sons, they have the strongest preemption, and do fkmly believe, that not one vellel which has left this port freighted with lumber (unleffc wholly loaded with inch boards, of" ranging timber iz by 12 and upwards) have made their ihipments agreeably to law; and that not the lead attention has been paid to ftaves, lhingles, &c. mentioned in laid aft, and that such as have been infpefted, the bu siness has been dpne by persons not nominat ed by the LegitlaUire, nor under auy qualifi cation whatever. * • iTHOM E.
