PARTICCLARS OF THE LATE DI 'LL AT PARIS EXTRACT OF A LETTER. Pane. Oct. 12. You will ere this have heard the fatal terminann . of l'aptain Pellew's guilty attachment to the wile of Nis. Walsh. The un fortunate young than (Captain Penes.), who was but is his ttith year, was shut through the head at the tirst tire, and shed in stantly. For the sake of the tifflteted relatives of both parties, it would be infinitely dubitable that all such events should be buri ed in entire oblivion; but as that is.not possible, it becomes tile duty of all a hu write or speak on the subject. to keep in view Cde moral effeet of the example. which it holds out. Air. Walsh not long smce exchanged from the Life Guards, in which corps Captain PeHew held his commission. Prior to Mr. Walsh's quitting the regiment he had resisted with his %tibia good deal in the barracks in Ilytle-park, where, being young and thoughtless, she unhappily received with too much fealii. ness those attentions which military men often think themselves ut liberty to pay to every female. The consequence was ►uch as might be expected to result frosn such intatuution. A close at bailment was formes! between Cart. Peilew and the lady ; and ..t length, in a fatal moment, she agreed to sacrifice her charac ter by eloping with the uh,ject of her blind all'ogion. About a n nth since she went Olt with hint from her father's hoc,' where she had been residing fur some time, during the absence at het husband. Th.y tame to Pails, whither miry were bil lowed by Nib Walsh, he prefert mg what is called the satisfaction of a gentle:llan, to pursuing any legal means of redress. A Nit' F- tame over with him, and by him the inceting was ar ranged with qtr. on tbe part 01 Capt. ' , thew.
