In reply, Mr 'Jayne writes a letter to Miss Foote, In which he says, that every line of the last letter of Miss Foutc's was couched in terms of inveterate hatred, stud it concludes thus:—" Farewell, foe ever fare well—Rayne." fly what possible construction Mr. !Jayne could say that this letter was couched in tenths of inveterate Issued. he (the sittureer-General; knew not; he would submit it to the strict criticism of his Learned Friend, Mr. Scarlett, and lie was sure be would say, float under all the ciratunstancto, a more kind letter could not In written by a patty flu, injured as Alias Foote had been.

The mention of the above farts v out of the many,' win., I trust, induce the public to suspend their further I opinion until the appeal made to the Court of King's Bench is I decided. And in ilium intruding up nn their notice, I cannot but column:late :nyself at my escape.' This article, however , principally referred to the fi rst promise , from which Miss Foote absolutely released biro; bet lie had no thirg w say after he had renewed his propnsab. There wee. how ever, one fart which spoke volumes, end evidently eliow.sl that Me. Ilayne never had the least intention of marrying bliss Foote; for on the :Id of September, two days previous hi the lint appoint. ment for the mamage taking place, Mr. Ilayne' eolitator called on his Counsel, Mr. Scarlet, and actually retained him as counsel in anticipation of this cause : hoe then was a proof of conduct so infamous on the part of Mr. Bayne, that no term of ',preach was strong enough to designate it. The Learned Counsel now prm rented to relate the circumstance of an advance of 1.16014 by Bayne to the father of Miss Foote, for the purpose of purchasing •• raymastership ; the taont7 was eat ea epp t opetated, and when this cause was commenced, Mr. Bayne having threatened to sell his estates and go abroad, lit. Foote had certainly very tnadrie telly given notice so the party ho'aling the 'Honey, to retain it until the decision of this cause. lEith this circumstance, however, Miss Foote was totally unacqualoted and therefore it was sir to be used to.ilty to her prejudice. Ile had, lie believed, now called their attention to every circumstance which it was necessary for I him to allude to. It was right, however, for him here to say, that during the cornapondence winch pained between the parties, Mies Foxe had certainly received several presents from Mr. Ilayne, amounting in value altogether to nearly 1,0 1 00/.; they were, how ever, oneolicited by her, and she rather checked than enconnezed Mr. Bayne in making them. Now es to the question or tirtillasce. bliss Foote, at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Bayne, hail given up her engagement at l'ovent.garden theatre, 'ditch was certainly a very valuable one. She had sold her theatrical wardrobe, and she had, at his suggestien, 01111CIVII a enrriage, which she would not otherwise have done. But lie did not call upon the Jury to give damages in respect of these scrount., b u t he asked them to give her a compensation for the lwas she htd sustained by not becoming the wife of Mr. Bayne. In the tiro place, then, there was the station and rank in society which that eirniiintanee would have gti en hoer; there was thee:l,o4l4M. which, under the term of th e set tlement, would have become her absolute property, in the event of Mr. Bayne dying in her life time without issue. Now the damages' laid in the declaration were Ricci /, ; the question then was, would Miss Foote have released Mr. Bayne from his moonier to many for 10,0141/. ? Certainly not, or for three times lotion,. then s he was l i my entitled to 'veneer to.diy the whole damages laid in the declaration ; and he now set down firmly convinced, that by the verdict today sit s would recover the whole nitiount she claimed Be t ide all thin , Alit, !fame had been hilt up to pubbr curiosity— to no email portion of oldiepty ; and us men of eons,' lout to deal with the cause, he had no &At of the result.
