THE Lel MARQUIS TOWNSUEND AND EARL uP BELL4MO!VT. ( From (.hsrueters.) The dispute betw, en these taro Noblemen (Lords Towsishend And Bellamont) occasioned much noise st clip time, and the, whole breathes the spirit of ancient chivalry. On Lord Townshend's return from his go•ern- meet in Irvlia..l, Lori Belrimunt repaired to Eng land, and employed the late E4rl of Charlcmnnt to wait on the Ex-Vicaroy with Lie following Paper, explanatory of the nature of the offence given at the Castle of Dublin, in February. lild ; •• wait upon your Lo Ay desire of Lo rd Beilaatont, first, to return your Lord:hip his thanks for the recommendations to the King with which you honoured him, and for which it was his iaten ton to have thanked you in person, it you had done hint the favour to receive him the last time that he attended. by your Lordship's appointment. for a private audience. lam further to ecqu lint your Lordship, that Lird Bella:pout thought it his duty not to break in %loan your Lordship upon an earlier day, lest be interrupt you in giving an account of your high.commissias to the King, or in taking an ac count of your own important affairs. But as your Lordship has now been twelve days in town, he con ceives that he may, with propriety, remind your Lordship of the disrespra thrown upon him by the message deli►ered to him from your L .rdship, by your Aid-deXamp, of which Lord Bellamont snakes uo doubt thatsoar Lordship retains a perfeCi recollatioa I it having been of that force as to have obliged him to resign his employment in the army, in order that he might be at liberty to call upon your I.ordship for an adequate apology, wit:rout in curring the King's displeasure. But lest your Lord ship should not have a minute recollection of that trans.aation at this distance of time, Lord Bella mont has stated it as follows: . 4 When Lord Bellamont, after several repeated at teudances, by afpointment„ on all occasions he had been put off witlnnit teeing your Lordship, did ugAirt wait upon your Lordship by appointment, the Aid-d. Camp in waiting, having gone down to your Lordsbip and returned, addressed Lord Bella mint in an audible voice, and acquainted him, • th.o he need not wait Any 1 .nger, for that your Lordship sanad 0.. t be at leisure to see hiss that day; **A At the same time. turning to several ether per sons of d.ff-r,... • • • •Ic. And professions, be told him, 44 that your Lordship reel.' s•ed they would wait, as beur Lora . nip wet& see Om however late it might be • , re piu could finish with them," or words to eat effe.. Lard Bellamont replied to the Aid de-Camp, 4 . tits Excellency will be pleased to as certain at what time be will see me. 1 have Alreaoy waived several times, by appoinlment. and have been sent Away each time !" To which the Aid de-Camp lar‘ught back the tollowing message to Lord Bellamont His Excellency commands to inform your Lordship, that he usually does military business on Wednesdays, and any other business on Thursdays; that if your Lordship comes on either of those days, and that his Excellency shall be at leisure, be will see you among others in your turn " To winch Lord Bellantoni replied, 4. Sir, you will be so good as to inform his Excellency, that as a Peer of :he Realm, I have a right to an audience ;• but if its Excellency does not kw :w what be owes to me, I know what 1 owe to myself, anal therefore will not wait upon him here or elsewhere; I will write &letter to his Excellency. stating my business, to which I expea he wilt chew Attent;on, as it neatly concerns a respeltable corps of Officers."— This, nay Lord, is, as Lord Bellamont conceives, an exail state of the reciprocal messages which passed between your. Lordship and Lord Bellamont ; but as lie did not take them down in writing, he cannot positively aver each syllable. This, however, he can positively wiirm, that such was the matter of the message, and the terms in which it was con ceived, though manifestly softened by the Aid-de- Camp, that the idea which it conveyed to every pouts present, was that of an intentional iadignity, wamenly cast on my Lord Belluncnt by your Lord ship. •' Lord Belhunont conceives that an Aid-de-Camp is the authentic messenger of his superior, and, therefore. that the message delivered by the one, is es the litera ierifrie of the othet. Iprd Bellamont considers your Lordship alone responsible to him, at‘d your Lordship the only person with whom he is to account. l'he it jury is of public notoriety, and therefore an affront upon record, which does nut admit of any negociation." Lord 'fownshend having asked what apology Lord 13ellamont required 1 Lord Chariemont read the following ankle a_ _ " The °di apology which the nature of the of. fen:e will admit of, is that of asking Lord Bella. atones pardon. Lord Rellamont does not mean to hurry your Lordship in any thing, but eapeas your I.ordsarp's answer in a reasonable time, at all events one day at least before your Lordship leaves town." Lord Townsheni made answer: 0. I cannot ask pardon, as it would be an acknowledgment of an atm.. I never intended." lord CharLemont replied—•• I are not at liberty to take back any other k n.wer t. Lord Bella:nova, than tl.at your Lordship asks his pardon, or desires to 'Ake rime to consider of asking it. I therefore en treat your Lordship will reset before you lay me .1.1J.r the nerewity of delivering another message to your Lordship, which Lard Bellament sends with the utmow regret s and which I shall deliver with sop al r e!u&ancy." Lord Townsliendhavinlusersisted in his refund.

Oa Saturday , the 26th. et half an hear after eleven o'clock. Lord Bellatnont received the follow ing letter from Lord Ligonier " Dec. 26. 1772. _ _ _ " MT Loao—l have a message to deliver to your Lordship from Lord Townshend, and beg to know when I may be allowed to wait on you. " 4 I have the hoopoe to be, My Lord, " Your Lordship's most obedient, " Most humble servant. "TY the Eerl of Bellaitoru." 0 LIGONIER." To which Lord Bellamont sent the folk:will answer:— " hiv Loso—l this moment received the honour of your 'Lordship's letter, communicating to me that you have a message to deliver to me from Lord Townshend, and desiring to know when I shall be at home to receive your Lard4lip I shall not go abroad tomorrow, but will wait at home to have the honour of receiving your Lordship, and any commands you may have for me. 6 ' I have the honour to be, ticc. " r. Lord Viscount Ligonier." Noter,-.on Sunday morning, at eleven o'clock, Lord Ligonier waited on Lord Bellaniont, who an ticipating Lord Ligonier, said, Before I receive the message your Lordship has to deliver to me, I must beg leave to call in Lord Charlemont, in or der h .t. as Colonel Frazer was present at the de livery of my message to Lord Townshend, Lord Charlemont may be present at the delivery of Lord Townshend's message to me ;" to which Lord Li gonier immediately consented. Lord Charlemont being called in, Lord Bellamon said, the transaiaion had, he suppose been related to Lord Ligonier on the part of Lod Townshend. ;le wished it siiiiu;d he elated by Lord Charles moot, on the part of himself, for he should he con cerned to be misconceived by Lord Ligonier, for whom lie had a high respeet ; and the moment Lord Ligonier should have delivered my Lord Town shend's message, he did not thick it proper fur him self or friend to speak another word ; of which Lord Ligonier having expressed his' approbation. Lord Charlet:tont read the paper to Lord Ligonier, which he bad. by Lord Dellarnant's desire, read to Lot d Townshend. Lord Ligonier then addressing Lord Hellamant. said, 4* What will your Lordship say, when, notwithstanding the force of this message, I tell you I am authonses! by Lord Townshend to. assure your Lordship he never meant to offend you,?" Lord Hellaroont. alter a little pause. replied... Confess, my Lord, this is more than I especial ; hat since then Lord Vownshend's first care is to justify hes intentions towards me, eves under his present situation, let him do it 111 such a manner as to jus tify me in releasing him hoar that ion. The apology your Lordship has sow delivered to me, is not yet entirely sufficient." Lord Ligonier desired leave to go back to my Lord Townshend, and shcrtly returned with the following message " Lord Tewnshend hes already assured your Lordship he never meant to offend you. He further assures you he is sorry for the af• fair." Lord Bellamont then said. " Before I proceed ar.y further. I must desire that Lord Ancrare be sent for, as he has this morning accepted the office of bring my friend in the field, it' I should be called upon." Lord Ancram being arrived, and inhumed by Lords Charlemont and Ligonier of what had passed, the Lords Charlemont and Ancram declared that nothing more could be demanded ; and these. wi.h Lord Ligonier, said, that Lord Bellantoni could not surely require that Lord Townshend should ask his pardon for an offence which he had now, in the most satisfaitery manlier, declared he hadnever commiued. Lord Bellamont made answer. my Lords, I . feel as you do, that every thing is implied in this apology. but it is necessary that it be fully expressed ; and having desired leave to retire into another room, to consider the minor more clearly, he returned with the following written paper, which he gave to Lord Ligonier, telling him at the same time, that he did not tie him down to the letter, but that was the purport of the only repaiation he could receive. via. " Lord Townshend does adroit, that the message delivered to Lord Behaniont by his Aid-de-Camp, was highly offensive ; he there fore disavows it as such, and declares it was not his intention to give Lord Bellantoni any offence, and that he is very much concerned tor the nos.. take." Lord Ligonier accordingly waited on my Lord Townshend with the said paper, and brought back to Lord Beaumont an apology, consonant to the Lull and entire purport of it, conceived in the most satisfaSory terms. Lord Bellamont immediately requested Lord Ligonier would assure Lord Tots n shend, that as Lord Tovrnsileni had by that last apology done away the foundation of the message delivered from him to Lord Townshend by Lord Chail.:mont. he had very great pleasure in declar ing it cancelled and annulled. (L.S.) CHARLEMONT• (L.S.) Aticaass. 'AI cannot refuse signing the paper delivered to me this morning without assigning my reasons for it, and titter myself the motive of my declining it will justify mm to the world. assent to the faits and progressions as stated, bot 1 was misunderstood if what I said relative to Lord Townshend wa► considered as a message horn him. It certainly was not Lord Townshend's in tention it should be so, though I was authorised to say it from Lord Townshend to Lord liellamont, which distmaion I did net make to Lord Bella ntoni. " As I wished, from motives of humanity, to bring the affair to an honourable conclusion, without coming to extremities, I proposed returning to Lord lownsitend ; my view in so doing was that of pro- moting as accommodation honourable to both. It I conveyed any other idea to the Lords on my return f. orn Lord l'ownshend, than a confirm. ation that his Lon;Lhip had intended no affront or injury to Lord Bellamont, and that he disapproved the manner of the Aid-de-Camp. I have to regret that I had not the good fortune to explain myself according to my own ideas and those of Lord fownshend. " In justiee to my Lord Townshend, I must beg leave to observe, that whatever expressions of con cern he might make ■k of on this misuoJerstand ing, arose from the reafee every man of honour fence. This is what I understand from Lord Townshend. and what I meant to convey. I cannot but persevere in declining to sign the paper, as I find, upon consideration, that what I thought an explanation equally honourable to both, may be eonsttued into a submissive aprrllgy which must appear humiliating to my Lurd Tow•nshend What impressions may have been received from any expressions of mine in the many private conversa tions I have had on this painful event, I will not presume to determine ; but I declare, upon my ho nour, I have had no other view than to terminate this affair to the honour of all parties; au.d shall lament, if my endeavours should be frustrated.

On Sunday morning, Lord Ligonier waited on Lord Bellamont, and the explanation alluded to above took place; but owing to some unfortunate misconception, the affair was not made up. fie cordirg to agreement, therefore, the parties met on the afternoon of February 2, 1773, between fonr and five, in Mary-la-bonne-fields, and alter the usual ceremonies had taken place, Lord rownshend fired first, and wounded Lord Bellamont, with a ball, in the right side of his belly, near the groin, while the latter discharged his pistol without effect. Their Lordships behaved to each other in the field with a politeness denoting the most refined gallantry. Each was armed with a case of pistols and a small sword, but it was determined to use the former first. When they had taken their ground, Lord Bel lantoni pulled off his hat ; the salute was immedi ately marred by Lord Townshend ; who asked his antagonist which of them he would wish to fire first ? On this he desired Lord Townshend, who instantly complied. Mr. Bromfield sweated the ball, and his Lodship not only recovered, but lived to a good old age. The seconds were, for Lord Bellantoni, the Hon. Mr. Dillon ; and for Lord Townshend, Lord Li gonier. Upon Lord C►arlemont', &livery of this last Smugly.

Extra& of a Letter from Captain „lames Lucas Yee, Cons minder of His Majesty's Sloop the Conhance, dated off La Guardia, the 15th August. 1507, Pansrnstted to this Of hce by Admiral Lord Gardner. I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that in pro ceeding to Oporto, agreeable to my orders, I receiv ed information of a small Spanish lugger privateer being in La Guardia, that had been committing great depredations on our trade on the coast of Por tugal ; it being calm, and within a few miles of that port. I dispatched the boats under the command of Mr. William Hovenden Walker, First Lieutenant. assisted by Messrs. Herbert, (Master's Mate,) and Forder, ( Midshipman.) to cut her out, which they performed in a most gallant manner, the two forts and ptivateer being perfectly prepared to receive them, and ripened a heavy fire on our boats long before they reached the vessel, which was moored under them, znr.l, from the prisoners' account, mounted four twenty-four-pounders, the other six eighteen-pounders, and one hundred and fifty troops. She proves to be the El Reitrada, of Guardia, mount ing one twelve and two four-pounders, with thirty men, one of whom was killed, several wounded, and the rest jumped over board. lam happy to add, it was accompli4lei without any loss on our side. Le.:tenant Wa!ker speaks in the highest manner of N:esns. Het herr. and Forder, as also of all the sea n.en and mat ines of the party. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.
