to insert the foFoauing correfpondance, rejecting

consequence of the Fule of Richmond s motion in
the Honfe of Peers, aj far as it related to our
noble brother soldier Lord Raivdon.

Lord Raavdon's letter to the Lube of Richmond,
delivered to him by Lord Ligonier, on thurfay
evening, atfeven ©clock, February 21, 1782.
To the Duke of Richmond.
My Lord, , Tuefdai Noon, Feb. 21,
T AM this moment arrived from Ireland, from
I whence I have been battened by the illiberal
advantage which you have taken of my absence.
When I learned, by the public papers, that an
enquiry into the execution of llaac Haynes, of
S. Carolina was moved for before the House of
Lords, I feared that their Lordships would not
find any materials on which to decide them opi
nions ; but from the unfitted justice of that
high court of honor, I rested secure that vague
surmises, and unsupported insinuations, would
not be permitted to ahca the public character of
a Britilh officer. The house, as 1 conjectured,
have rejected the fufoicion with disdain. It now
rests with me to notice such personal injury to
wards my private situation, as could not become
the fubjeef of their Lordlhips aninladverfion. $
The expressions #ith which you my Lord, in
troduced the motion, were as unneceilary to the
business, as are little reconcileable to the dignity
of a senator, the public spirit of a citizen, or the
candor of a gentleman; of course I feel them fit
object of my resentment. I do therefore require,
that you, my Lord, (hall make a public excuse,
in such manner, and in such terms, as # I (hall
diTa/e, for the scandalous imputation which you
have thrown cn my humanity, a quality which
ought to be as dear in a soldier's estimation, as
valour itfelf. If your Grace had rather ibet
your malignity with your sword, I shall rejoice
inbringirfth? matter to that issue. Besides the
consideration of my own wrongs. I Shall think
myfelf the avenger of my brother officers in A
merica, to who fe feturity you have given an ob
boue attaint, by your affhaed fears for the con
frouence of General Greene's proclamation.
(Signed) RAWDON.
No.IT.
Anfaer o' the Duke of Richmond to Lord Ray
tion's letter, taken in -writing by Lord Ligonier,
from the Daries own month ; received at nine
o'clock on thurfday evening, February 21,1782.
THE Duke declines receiving the letter, as it
is couched in terms which he thinks unjuftifia
blp. shat as it was never his intention, so he
firmly believes he made ufo of no expression that
could be possibly mifcenftrued in a personal at
tack on Lord Rawdon. That he has noobjedi
on to referring to the Chancellor for his recol
ieaion and opinion on the fubfea, and that, if
he cam recoiled: any expression in the courfeof
the debate, that could be implied as injurious to
the character of Lord Rowdon, he will take an
opportunity, in his place, of disavowing such in
tention ; provided Lord Rawdon desires the
Duke so to do, in more admissible language.
That Lord Rawdon has not Specified any expres
sion that is injurous to his charaaer ; conse
quently the Duke cannot at prefent.give any o
ther answer.
No. ni.-
Ref/y of Lord Rawdon to the Duhe of Richmond's
answer, February 21, ten o'clock at night,
LORD Rawdon will not admit any one expres
sion in his letter to be unjustifiable, after the li°
berty which the Duke of Richmond has taken
with his charaaer. It is not of any particular
word made use of by the Duke, that Lord Raw
don complains ; —but Lord Rawdon arraigns the
general cast of the proceedings, which has pub
licly exposed him to the suspicion of wanton se
verity, and abuse of power.—That the Duke of
Richmond Should get up in his place in the
House, and. disavow the idea of casting any the
most distant insinuation upon Lord Rawdon's
conduct, is the mode of excuse which Lord Raw
don would require.—But the terms, as the last
letter mentioned, muit be dictated by Lord Raw
don.
ftkurflay, 10 at night.
No. IV.
Copy ofapaper- in the Duke of Richmond's hand^
writing, bro t to Lord Rawdon by Lord Ligo
nier and Gen. Conway, on Friday Noon, Feb. 22.
LORD Rawdon fays, that he will not admit
any one expression in his letter to be unjuftifia
ble, after the liberty the Duke of Richmond has
taken with his character ;-—but as the fa& is that
Lord Rawdon has been misinformed, and the
Duke of Richmond did not take any liberty with
Lord Rawdon's character, and has declared so to
Lord Ligonier-—he must persist in thinking se
veral ofthe expressions in Lord Rawdon's letter
very unjuftifiable.
Lord Rawdon fays he doesnot complain of
any particular word made use of by the Duke of
Richmond ; consequently the Duke of Rich
mond can have none to explain.
But Lord Rawdon fays he arraigns the gene
ral cast ofthe proceeding ;-— This also the Duke
of Richmond denies to have been in any degree
personal to Lord Rawdon, which he took very
particular pains to explain, in the opening, of
that business. In proof of this assertion he bas
already expressed and now repeats, his willing
nefs^to refer it to the Chancellor, whose name
has been mentioned as having pofibly conceived
it otherwise, br to any other unprejudiced Peer,
whether the who T e, or any part of the Duke of
Richmond's conduct had the leaft,perfonality to
wards Lord Rawdon ?-—And if, contrary to his
expectations, any thing of that nature can be im
puted to him, he will be very ready, as it never
wasbis intention, to fay so in his place, upon a
desire from Lord Rawdon, expr ffed in such
terms as a man of honor can comply with : But
a moment's reflection must fatisfy Lord Rawdon,
that the Duke of Richmond cannot fuffer hirn
felf to be dictated to by any man, and that such
expressions can only serve to make it impossible
for the Duke of Richmond to give Lord Rawdon
the reasonable Satisfaction, he is otberwife, of
his own accord, desirous of doing, by disclaim
ing any intentions of attacking Lord Rawdon'®
