WILLIAM COBBETT.

[To THE ED/TOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your comment upon my lecture on Cobbett is founded —BO far as regards the court-martial business—on a pbraee in the report which I did not use, and which has misled you as to my meaning. So far from making insinuations against Cobbett's behaviour, I gave his own account, with reasons for accepting it as probably true. The lecture will, I expect, appear in print before long, and show what I really said about that and the "running away."—I am, Sir, &c,, • 22 Hyde Park Gate, March 7th. LESLIE STEPHEN.
