MR Haussmann, in your yesterdays’s Gazetteer, informs us, “That for some time before he perused Dr. Lettsom’s publication, he had been very uneasy with his situation in Myersbach’s house, where he had been witness, for upwards of six months, to the consummate ignorance, impudence, and imposition.” - A space of six months, it must be owned, would have been rather long for Mr. Haussmann to have continued easy under a connection with such deep iniquity; however he grew uneasy at last; and having turned evidence from a thorough conviction of guilt, for the sake of the public, his assertions, it is hoped, may be relied on. But why would not Dr. Lettsom give us Haussmann’s address as well as his name? To describe him only under the dirty denomination of Myersbach’s apothecary, is unsatisfactory to the public, and no great compliment to this same Mr. Haussmann, who seems, with some signs of repentenance, to have deserted his honourable office.
Sept. 26. PROBE.
