Sir,-A statement regarding a seizure at the Fleet having appeared in your paper on Saturaay, in which my name has been improperly introduced, and for which I have sorne cause to complain, I trust you will state the fact as it occurred. Four Officers of the Excise came to inty office, and said they had a warrant to search a certain room in the pri.on for contraband goods, and requeted my protec. tion, as warden, in the discharge of their duty. I immediately gave orders to my oflcers to aid and assist them therein, and to prevent any, obstruction being made to them on the part of the prisoners. They went to a room on the basement story, which they found locked up, and, ou entering in at the window/, they found two boxes, con tamling 42 B3andana handkerchiefs, which they sgeized ard took away. There was no person in the room, nor were atmy pistols used in the way7 descri'atd, the offlcers only carrying them in their hands, nor was any violence exercised to nny person whatever. A man named Prescott was suspected as the patty concerned, but he was not nresent when the sei',ure Wa nn I am, Sir, your obedient gervant, Office, Flect, Ocit. 18, 1824. W. R. H. BROWN, Warden.
