• ; / . , I)UA LLING. %COLONEL GRANT AND MR. O'MEARA. STATEMENT OP CAPT. STANDEN AND LIEUT. ingeett. .A ninth% having taken place on Wednesday af ternoonsit Shower's-hill, between Lieutenant-Colonel Otti.tNr, 18th Hussars. and Mr. Commissary O'MEA. RA, we feel it incumbent upon us to state to the Public the particulars of the transaction, both as it has been 'narked Awing the w hole progress with most singular circumstances, and because Mr. O'MEAttA and his friend Major FOLPV have published a pamphlet upon this sobjmt, which we have no hesitation in pronoun cing to contain the grossest mix-statements. It will be needless to enter here into ;I lqng detail of the origin and progress of the cuiirrel lattween these two Gentlemen. it is sufficient to hate, t i nt a meeting was to have taken place in lune last i which was prevehted by th e arrest of Mr. O'Meara, and that subsequently (Mr. (rMeara having declined in the mean time to meet Col. Giant in France) in November last a fresh challenge was forwarded tin ough Capt. Standen to Mr. O'Mears's triad, Major Fairy, and a eery directly to that Gentleman himself. This challenge these Gentlemen did not chose to regard as such, and instead of accepting It, published a pamphlet endeavouring to twee that it Us, t a t a challenge, and that Colonel Grant had siolealled on Adv. O'Meara to meet him in France. it would have Lem perhaps pro. .er, after such conduct, to have treated Mr. Cil:sleara wi LI the contempt which his pusillanimi!y and el , araderr. tido ved ; but al., in a suppkment to his pam phlet, he has puhl.ahvil some certificates from Officers of known character as to his respectabiiity, Colonel Grant, withuut in quiring how these certificates had been obtained. or whether they were maned. gladly laid bold of the upportunhy thus offered to heat hint on a looting of equality, and as a Gen tleman, and on the nth of kebruary inclosed a challenge from Boukigne to Captain Standen, with a request to deliver n to Mr. O'Meara, and in order to avoid all possibility tit inter ruption (as had before taken place), required him to point out the necessity of mantle a place of meeting out of England, as named in Colonel G:rani s challenge. On the following day Majur Foley forwarded to Captain Standen, Mr. O'Meara', acceptance of that challenge, with a note from himself, saying he would call and settle time and place, on the next day. for the meeting. Upon the receipt of these two communieations,think. log that every thing was now arranged, and that the place for meeting out of England was agreed to (it being pettedly clear that no place in England could be fixed upon by Capt. Standen, the Colonel having obtained no have of absence from hie Regi ment), Captain Standen wrote to Colonel Grant, informing hint that Mr. O'Meara had agreed to meet him according to the terms of his challenge, and to hold kiniself in readiness, as he would communicate the place apeoiuted by the next post. Judge then of Captain Standen's astonishment on string Moils:. Foley the pest day, and being told by that Gentleman that Mr. O'Meara could not think of meeting Colonel Grant in France, bat hr n as still ready to meet him any wherein England. Ott receiving Chia most extraordinary message, Captain Standen communicated his sentiments upon it to Major Foley, and told him that he had al toady written to Colonel Grant, saying, that Mr. O'Meara had agreed to the meeting out of Event/. As it appeared evident to Capt. Standen, that Mr. O'Meara and Teiajor Foley were playing the same sltullling game which, they had practised for the last sit months, (that is, ale ays pro teeming their widitigness to meet Colonel Grant, but either using accidental eircumnanres or creating thtm, where necessary, to avoid a meeting), Captain Stanciut deemed it expedient, as Col. Grant's friend, to accept this rffer, and to lit them, if posdhle, tJ the meeting 111 Epeand. ColonclGraut arrived express in the neighbourhood of London, ou the morning of the 12th, areom • pained by a brother Officer, from Boulogne; and as Mr. O'Meara and Map'. Foley. Lad promised Captain Standee to hold them wives in readiness at a moment's warning, they were immedi ately waited upon by Captain Standen and Mr. French, forlhe purpose of settling the place of ousting directly. It will hardly be Credited, that 041 erns ing at Mr. O'Msara's house. and des laanding front hint Major Foley's address, which had never been procured, that Gentler:Han said, that he did not know where he lived, but believed sennewbrie through Buckingham-gate. Not exactly creclititig this information, we followed another clue, and succeed. d in discover sag Major Foley's htico:, not at Suck 'Decent-gate, but in the New read! Nat finding letior Foley at home, we returned to Mr. O'Meara's, where we found hint. and the matting was settled to sake place in two hours, when Mr French was to conduct the party to an entianteh spot. where Calcine' Grant nas waiting them, as he was determined to hike every precaution against the Police. Maier Xoley was then liken ise informed, that he was to look on Mr. French as the second of Colon.' Grant, as, altiniugh Captain Standen would be present, yet that he should in no way Interlere.- 1 Me as tangement h•sel Grant lad made hem motives of ' consideration to Capt.tio Standen, as, from the strong provoca tion given on both sides, he did not foresee the possibility of the meetisg terminating otherwise than fatally to me of the parties. On their atrival on tl.e emend, ten pares were marked one by Major Foley. Colonel Grans fired and missid— Mr. O'Meara Lted in the air.—Upon Colonet Grant's per ceiving this, he exclaimed—" Come, come, that wens% du— that won't do;" as.d 'bee addressing bias-elf to his second, said, 41 . Give him nnotlor pistol." Mr French said, "Leave that to tnei" Mr. French 'Len to loaded ils pivot, when Major Foley said, " You cannot allow Colonel Grant to fire again, after Mr. O'hleara has fired in the arr." At the same time a third person, alma friend trehl r. O'hl eat it'e, brought a paper feast Mr. 0' Meara to M.'j..r Foky, the purport of which Was ' that Mr. O'Meara would 11191 fire. Mr. french then observed to Allaj•ir Foley, on toeing ti.is, " Sir, we can have noth rig to do with your letters here; no such nonseure. 'lit:. is child's play; and I have not accontpa stied niy trivial front Boulogne for tide purpose. I am not satisfied, and lota loading you? pktid. Major Foley then locked up his ;lends in their c..se. Mr French, then turning to Captain Standen ' with Lis pistol loaded in his Multi, said, " You will remember that I tell you, in the presence of Major Fole7, that though this is an celenowledgmetit of guilt en the part of her. O'Meara, yet I am not, nor is Colonel Grant satisfied. Colonel Giant thet. addressed Mr. O'Meara, arid said, " t am not Barb. Gal. You are, Sir, the greatest coward, blackguard, and liar its existence." 1 ben turning to Mr. French, said, "You sea now how thoroughly dunghill he is, as I always told you." Nothing, however, could move this mild tempered Gentleman, and he tamely walked of, carrying the names sit bestowed along with him. Gym the facts above stated, it 1. unnecowary to make any comments—they speak lor themselves. One question only we may be permitted to ask, was it Irom an honourable motive, or as the safest way to terminate this meeting, that Mr. O'Meara was Induced to fire his pistol in the air? This questia,o is best Ilmwered by recollecting that this Gentleman has been publishlug the grossest falsehoods relative to Colonel Grans, and circulating them wherever ha thought he could injure the character of that (Aim by en &log, wicks a. 415gitt of steamer.* oral malignity credible; by recollecting die alinost insuperable difficulties thro in the way of this meeting, aril still more, by recollecting die I ore than Christian meekness with which, on the betel, and n 4,g, aweriposs in his hand, he Mowed himWlt so be cooed, awe seaud, coward, blackguard, and liar. 149.

Without entering into the merits of a question al ready before the Public, the following documents are submitted as the only reply that can now be given to the foregoing statement:— The circumstances relative to the meeting are briefly told—. Major Foley baying learned from Mr. O'Meara that Captain btauden had delivered him a paper hom Lieutenags-Colonel Grant,dated 98th February, demanding a meeting, he waited on Carain Standen, to iulorm him IL-it Mr. O'Meara would afurd Lieoteriarit-Colcuel Grans a meeting in, ny part of England, but tinder the opinions expre slO In his letter of she 17th December, 1516, be would not allow Mr.O'Meara to follow Colonel Grant to 'fusee ' or admit, to:der all the indignities the Colonel had "boated to, any cundesceneinst on die part of Mr. O'Meara, but simply granting him a meeting. On the I9tb inst. at eleven o'clock, Caloaln Standen and Lies tenant to idquire for M a j or talent French called at Mr. 0 ' Foley, who; It was stated, Should meet them there nt half-past twelve, at which dine the Major received from Captain Standen as Intimation Of the Colonel's arrival in England, and his desires' of an.immediate meeting; to which the Major consented, desir. .g ns .no o ther delay than that w hid& was required to prcivide rat bursts At Indbpast two the parties were out of !minion, Major Lesley and his friend havug no other guide, as to place or Mo.' enure, than the post Chaise of Lieutenant French and Captain *ander), whose movements they followed till they reached6hoo- tees..ifill, at *latch place Major Pole, was halted by Lieutenant heads, and requested to take hie friend down a lane to the right, then in view, as Colonel Grant was at hand. The latter shortly appeared, attended, not cosily by a setond, but by a third, fourth, and fifth Mend. The**ties then proceeded to the ground (a short distance from the road); there were four per. sons on it besides the pripcipals. The distance having heel: measured and the word oftotnnsaad arranged, the parties rook post. Lleutenaut.Colonel _Grant fired first and missed Mr. O'Meara, who turning his arm in a contrary direction from his adversary, Erni his pistol in the air—still, however, remaining 'on his ground. The seconds retired, when Major Foley opened a letter from Mr. O'Meara, with directions thereon to be opined after the first lire, worded as follows . " Londonl two o'clock, March It. " As I have determ'ned not to return Colonel Grant's fi-r, I leave you to act as the occasion demands. I meet him to satisfy the world (not Ideutenant-Colonel Grant) that 1 fear not aro. man's fire, but that I consider him, atter all that has occurred, unworthy to receive mine." - - Major Foley then declined further proceedings. Colonel Grant sprung from Ms ground, exclaiming In a frenzy, " that he would publish Mr. O'Meara to the world as an infamons covi ard, blackguard, and liar." Major Foley, on removing his filch(' from his place, said, " If Colonel Grant forgets hituseif, must not ; you have done your duty, and I must insist 'no will make no reply whatevi rto his abuse." Colonel Grant, on betr.,- , led off by his friend, in consequence of his frantic 'tate, called out to Mr. O'Meara, saying, you are a damned coward, Wad-, guard, and adding the still more horrid epithet of —! on which Mr. O'Meara pulled off his hat, and smiling ironically at bin', said, " yow, Sir, you are a Gentleman an an Once: or the 18th Hussars !" Lieutenant Frtnch, fitilioe hi. friend so outrageous, caused the others of the party to liter..l4 force bins off the ground, when the meeting coded. MAJOR kOLRY TO CAPTAIN bTANDEN.

Icing such mva-urn as may retniove erroneous impressions, and will tend to place the matter and character of the parties wormed in their proper anal true point of view. Ly referring to Colonel Grant's letter co you of the 28th ult. (a copy of which I perceive you have kept), you will observe, that be there *averts to a transaction which he states to have tali en place in the presence of Mr. lamer Grant, and feeling it my duty to inquire into every fact relating to that affair, I called t o Mr. O'Meara for the varticulars of the tranrivion, whieh lie declin ed ro gave, conceiving himscif bound in honour not to be the first to impart thenrt but having stated so him :Sat Colonel Grant had uinreU refereed to it, and bad authorised 114 r. lames Grant to communicate it, Mr O'Meara these referred me to Mr. Grant, who, thus authorised by both parties, detailed tome one ot the most disgraceful scenes for Colonel Grant, welch I almost ever beard of, as endured by a gentleman, without a murmur; and in corroboration, Mr. Grain hauled me a written statement, wbeieby it appears authenticated by that gentleman's signature, that so ion mote or the 7th of last August, Colonel Grant re. ceived front the hands of Mr. O'Meara, severe and personal char. tisenteot in the house and presences,' Me.

From my own astonishment at being informed of this dnfar climate transaction, I as well anticipate yours; and I can even suppose that doubts may silt arise in your an.nd ; but these doubts, should they axis', I shall at once remove, by givmg you the per usal of Mr. Grant's Statement at any time•; or it it would he more satisfactory, I will mkt yeu to Mr. Grant's residence, who (though with evident sorrow an i reluctance), will detail the la mentable transaction, which, unfortunately for your friend, can only be deplored; but the stain of which, I aln.t.itt apprehend, can never be effaced. In going thin far to satisfy your mind, I beg it may be di,. dimly and clearly understood, that I illll lint again to be sup. posed as entering on this vile and unfortunate business. I here for ever take leave of it, and for the rest, I leave it to Mr. O'Mara to act in such a manner as his Irkeds may think the occasion justifies; for m)silf, I will only assure you, (deplore as much as airy man the disgrace of a man of Colonel Grant's rank and situation; and fur you, Sir, I beg to repeat assurances of my re►pect. 1 have the honour to be, etc. (Signed) I'.

He knew this well, for he, who is a lawyer, mind, knew that I had been bound is recognizances for seven years from the year 1812. This was his safeguard I You often hear people who are going to fight duck taken btf:ire ma gistrates and bound over. That puts an end to the 4tfair.

" Ctuo, SZPT. 40, After having observed the progress of the ma chine at the Santa Rosa mine, last Saturday, the I Irth instant, at ten o'clock at night, we found it began to act ; at eleven the pitmen went down to clear the shalt, and have not since ceased working an inctant. The clearing of the mud and rubbish which had remained at the bottom of the shaft, and clogged every moment the buckets and suckers of the engine, lasted till Wednesday ; but this being accomplished, at It: o'clock at noon they began to break through the level. At half a yard below the shaft we found lively coppery ore, with its particles of silver. l'his bronze-coloured ore indicates that the veins of Yaoricocha and San Diego mines incline to the west, or towards the Santa Rosa mine. The mines in the of this pit are all dry. Some of them, at' the distance of 300 yards, in the ridge of Santa Rita, have also felt its effects, and even as far as the territory of Caya, behind our steam-works, the wa ters have fallen in several mines. " Dr. John Vayas has begun to work in San Diego mine. They are also going nest Monday to begin working in several points of the Santa Rosa mine. There•is already eight yards in depth, and we are proceeding with the greatest activity. The workmen are relieved every two hours, and as they go out they give up their tools to those who succeed them, by which means not a minute is lost. Continuing thus, in the course of a month we shall be at more than twenty yards depth, and have many mines in full activity. The winding-engine raises a basket (which is a bad) in two minutes ; the draining or steam. engine, with two strokes per minute, keeps the sur face always dry. Both work with the greatest ease, certainty, and regularity. s" By dint of searching after a vein of coal, we have at last found one near at hand, of excellent quality, and of great richness. The pit which a•e now work is at the distance of a quarter of a league from &Incas, and at the same distance from Vista Alegre which the Cerro is from these works. We have likewise (nand a vein of plumbago, which was an object of search, on the supposition that it was coal. This substance, of which much is consumed, mixed with grease, to soften the friction of the piston, &c. we have now here, and thus the. necessity of sending to Lima, or perhaps to Europe fur it, is obviated."

They were in the waiting room of the Grad Canal ; one sentinel kept walking at the door, when, about eleven at night, they fired at the sentinel, bv: fortunately fur him the ball struck the wall over Ls head ; he then fired at the mob, and advanced t:- wards the bridge. As soon as he fired, he dropped on his Inc. to load, and desired his comrades to E-e over Lim, ‘e:iich they did ; all advanced to the tr? of the C .nal Bridge, and fired in different direetier.:. One young man, of the name of Gadding, we.s sec', and died that night ; some others were wounded. one of which was left behind, his name is Grogan.'
