Mr. Adam presents hil compiimenu to Mr. Pox,
end begs leave to represent to him, thnt upon con
siderinf, lgain asind egain, what had passed between
them zfl night, it is impsi-ffiblo for him to huve hi
churacter cleared to the public]: without insening the
followingEu'zpraph in the newspapeu.
" We ve luthority to assure the-publick, that.
in a conversation, that passed between Mr. East and
Mr. Adam, in consequence of the debate in the Hpul'e
of Commom, on Thussday lnfl, Mr. Fox declared,
that, however much his speech may hnve been misse
presemed, he did not mean to throw my pssersonal re—
flection upon Mr. Adam."
Mljos Humberlton doe. me the honour of deli
vering this to you, and will bring your unswer.
8 ! R,
! am very sorry it if utterly inconsisiem with my
idea. of propriety, to uuthorise the puttin my thing
in thepejsswspaPen relativc to n speech wxich in my
opinion required no explmation. You who bend the
speech, must know that it did not convey no personal
reflection upon you, unlese yon felt yourself in the
predienment upon which I nninndvefted. The ac
count of my speech in the newspa " i: certainly in
correct, end certainly unauthoril'eseby me; lnd there
forl, with respect to that. ] have nothing to say.
Neither the conversation that passed It Brookec'o,
nor thin letter, ere of a secret nature, and if you have
any wish to rehue the one, or to (how the other, you
are perfectly et liberty so to do. I um. &c

A: you man he sensible (in: the speech printed in
the newspaper reflect: upon me personally, lnd so it
is from that only that the public]: cln how chair in

by your authority, in " publiek : minner no it wn
given, my character mult-hc injured. Your refusal
to do thii, emidec me to prcsume idal you nppron
of the manner in which that speech hn been given to
the puhlick, and justifiel me in demmding the only
satisfaction that such un injury will admit of.

Fox to fire, to which r. Fox replied, " Sir, I have

not at all perceived by Mr. Adam, as it was no:
distinflly seen by citlur of ourselvec. Mr. Fon find
without effect; we then imei'fercd, asking Mr. Adum
if he wan satiofied! Mr. Adam reflicd, " will Mr,

that he believed himself wounded, and, upon his
opening hie wlish'oat, it wn sound he wn so, but to'
all appczuance, nightly. The parties then sepmted,
