I was sensible of my fault at the.very moment whet) I committed it, and mide my apology whete I thou 41 • it doe; but I tott.t have a very degraded position in `every honourable mind, if the threat of a horse whippieg had en f orced. from me an iip:i!ogy to a w.,in who had termed me impertinent and vll 1 "11'. My error, Sir, for I cannot too often' acknow ledge it, a 1 OSP troth baste and indignation ; ,but 'charge th u Mr. Andrews' whole conduct was founded on deliberate rancour and a malignant desire to keep me in that state which is commronly and a , uly termed hot water, for the sake ut fin - theting• his own views of ' interest and hopes of ascendancy. • 'ln support of this assertion I could cite a long _'series of facts, and more pat titularly those which have occurred since last October, whe- Mr An chews, most affectedly, made common cause with 11r. Alley against me, and ever •fter strove, by all means in his power, to inflame the differences between Mr. Alley and Me. These efforte were carried to such an indecent excess, !turf in April Session Mr. Alley was obliged publicly to atiimad• vert upon them, and both in that manner'and in pt ivate, expressed his abhorrence of the attempt , to inflame an existing quarrel, for the purpose of . gait , ing• advantage by it. For myselt, rendered Somewhat more prudent than I had been by pain ful experience, I had publicly expressed my rests lotion nceer again to use i t Court eXpressiorY6 V filch could be deemed harsh towards. any one. To this principle I had rigidly adhered until the tnoment in qnesrion. But that Mr. Andrews' attack was deliberate ly iuteteled, will, I think, appear clearly horn the whole proceeding. He began, without the slight est colour of provocation, with a phrase which no Gentleman ever uses in its offensive sense, without expecting serious consequences.—When that offence had been given, and had extorted from toe the reply and apology I have .Arcady !Petitioned, Mr. Andrews began again by his threat, at a time when he, who is never heated, had been allowed (even if by accident he had become so) ample leisure to cool. When his menace had failed in inducing the Chairman to bind him over to the peace, he found himself embarrassed with the necessity of doing something, and followed me up stairs to renew his attack. When there, Ire was not so transported with anger as to m Ike an assault when no one could part us, but aired until we were in the presence of the whole police of the county ; he then struck me is the m toner (I will not use epithets) I have already describ , d, lol a then, instead of retiring as I did, he staid behind. till a Justice effected hie wish, by binding utni over to tie peace. In alluding so often to this part of the trans action, I beg to be clearly understood. lam not in want of, nor was I ever anxious for, the repu tation which can he derived from fighte.g. Placed as I am in the .centre of domestic affections, fur have a father and mother, as well as a wife and children, life is to me, even if this were the only view of the subject, an awful risque. But I have ever understood that when gentlemen are led away by passion, or by any other means, so far as to forget the rules of propriety and courtesy, an ap peal to courage is the only way of setting them selves tight, and that a blow, in paiticular, de mands that reparation. Indeed, where it is other wise, the distinctive features of society would be lost, and the misunderstandings of the better class w ou ld be (indistinguishable from the brawls of the ale-house. In this sense I demanded satisfaction, and I cannot but think that the manner in which toe demand was parried and evaded crowtis the disgrace of a quarrel so began and of blows so given. But, Sir, I assure you there is nothing in the anticipation, or even in the tesult of a duel, which could weigh on me so heavily as the necessity of making this statement for the purpose of vindicat ing myself. 1 trust this affair will be judged by gentlemen who will take the whole matter fully into consideration, and will not, for the purpose of censure, fix a stedfast attention on one part, and one alone. I feel conscious that, except in ate public use of one word, my conduct has not lei.eti such as to reflect upon that character vfbich ought to belong to every member of the Home Circuit,' while every word and every act of my antagonist has been precisely of that de script ion. In the candid and extensive statement 1 have here tiubinitted to you, sonic: phrases may he found which have not been sufficiently considered, and which require apology ; if there arc ,any such, 1 can only appeal 'to your kindness to 04 on them the most favourable construction. 1 need not say with how much anxiety 1 shall await the result of the meeting of the 29tb, tor as i t 1, ;i4 a ltvays been my endeavour to show marks of repril arid respect to the Bar as a body, and to the individuals composing it, 1 confess 1 shall feel with great sensibility any opinion or decision tNii;ch nyly seem to suspend the effect of those svotineiits on either side. 1 am, &c. On the day appointed this matter came on to be beard before an unusually full assemblage of th e LAr. I was not present, nor would it have been ti I should. No part of the proceeding bas.been communicated to me, except the final decision, and the fact , fischued to me by the King's Ser jeaut, that Andrews had also sent a written statentent. 1 must presume that my narrative was not contradicted in any material point, because if it had, I should suppose that some explanation wonld have hecti required from one or other of the I ,, rt i, s . Nothing of the. kind occurred ; hut at I el, o'c!ock at night I received the following not.- M.

I am informed, but it was not directly announced to rne, dot a similar resolution was passed with respect to Mr: .Andrews.

I forbear, however, to say any thing of the j udgment which has been pro nounced. for 1 know how little attention is gene rally paid to Cite complaint of an individual against the conduct of a ‘vhole body; but I avail myself with pleasure of this opportunity publicly to ex •presti my very tincere and heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Su•tjeant Oi, s low for t h e polite and feeling, yet di4nified and manly treatment, I have received from hint during the whole course of this trans action. Although 1 view the termination of this affair with great pain, still 1 am not without sufficient topics of internal consolation.

There is great misery on the Douro ; many of the vineyards were left not ultivated, and wine falls short, as the grapes hare been ranch injured. As we contradicted, .frum authority, on Satur: day last, the report of discu,sions '' very itu. portant, and not very amicable," said to be sub sisting among the Cabinets of Lmidon, Madrid, and St. Petersbargh, which adpoitied in The ;Warning Chronicle of that die, we were not without hope that The Chronicle would have ex• pressed some regret at having been Wale the in• strument of falsehood. The Chronicle, however, contents itself this clay with saying, " we_shall rejoice if it shall turn out to he as they. (The Sun and The Courier) assert, without our asquiesting in arrangements that would be fatal to the jute. rests of England." Sorely the Public had a right to expect some acknowledgment of en or, anti contrition tar having been the vehicle of I:, on the part of The Chronicle, and for its own credit also, some apology ought to have been tna , !e to its Readers. But the lattcr part of the sentence which we have non , quoted shews that The Chro nicle is still disposed to cleave to the falsehood, for otherwise what can it mean by inentioni , ) K " arrangements fatal to the interests of Ent:la id," founded on a report that lnol no foundation in truth ? As to its refusing to aegnie: , cv in arrange ments that might be assented to by the Brit:Shn Cabinet, 11 there had been any truth in the report we know not what to say, except to advise .Minis ter, to be upon their gnat ti, and not to presume to adopt any measures, however wise, sound, and matured, unless they obtain the previous assent and sanction of The Morning Chronicle ! ! ! An idle paragraph, without the smallest loon. dation, was inserted in an Evening Paper, and copied into most of the others, stating the arrival of Lord AMHERST at Spiihead ; and the 7'imes of this morning is pleased to correct the - mistake by saying that the salute was given on the arrival of Lord MELVILLE. at Cowes, instead of Lord ANHERST front China. It so happens that no salute was fired, and that Lord MELVILLE left Wimbledon only this morning. We are happy to state that the Harvest has al ready commenced in many parts of England, and that in the course of the present week it is ex pected to become general.
