Mtt. RICKETTI TO MR. KENTON.

Eta—Your letter of the 4th tact. has been fomented to me
at this place.
The farther roadies proposed by Mrs. Corbet, being cal-
culated to brim% 31r.Jorres name, fur the Aria time, into this
discussion, I did nut feel myself authrwised to nonsiesce in it,
without a pees-loos reference to 111119.
Mr. Jones instriscis me to say, " That be is perfectly sato-
wished at Chia new proposal on the part of Mrs. Clutha, ; that
he feels iudtznant at the suspieius which it implies, sad can-
not Aril to munpeet iu it, a avbenw, oo leer part, to pat in •
claim for hereafter rhar,:ing him wilt, thr same fowl Myer-
bow; which have been invented saaiii,t Mrs. Jima.
"That although be (must relaeoutly) etrownited to a refe-
rence. in regard to Mrs. Jones, out of eunairierations, purely
per•onal to her and her !limit), he nevertheless feels, and
wishes it to be anderstuo.l, that be dues sa fel, that the cou-
duct of Mrs. Corbel gives her no dohs to any satisfaction

that !Light arise frost a declaration of his, and that he tt Ai not
Iw nuy account, sukfee his uaroe to be drugged into the refer-
ence, or satiosit to answer question thus spurted at a as-
(lout." I have the boson: to be, Sir,
Your obedieat huntbk a4vanit,
E. J. iticiik:rts.

AR. AII'ILDTTS TO MR. IC LN YOll.

Si a—l have rectriied your letter of the 'list iust:aciatow-
!edging mine of the lath
loiterer reason might hare l•iflneured Mrs. Corbel to in-
troduce Mr. JOaes's Ilesse into the prestut discussion, 1 must
say, that I particularly regret its haviug bi.wn dune.
The reference as originally roomed by Mn. Cortirt, and
acceded to by qrs. Junes, am, according to my apprelien.
siun of it, from the correspondence of Mr. John Pir.utt, speci-
fically for the purpose of ascertaianag whether M Cellist or
Mrs. Jouca was the injUbeil party 2
In whativer way we. are to consider the statcmunt and
evidence um both sides, the ahoy, original point of wlerence
appears to Mt to be Use proper and material object of
iuyerry.
The acrtmalion 'geeing 11911' been thus extended so much
beyond what l had ever sappos,cd, destroys the sieod. r hope
loureentertainedufourbeiag,abletodoanyguadasref ices,
sad induces tur' I mufti's, as my private oolitic's, to think,
that at would be better to terminate the business here, ut least
es far as regards ourselves as referees.
Mr. Jour La informed •sue, that be shall be at Clarence
Lodge in a very few days, stud that he will immteliately, on
his arrival, forward to me Mrs Corbel's letters*, that I may
transmit them to you, and aim 1 will du the instant I get
them. I nut, Sir,
Your obedient huitible servant,

MII. RICKETTS TO MR. KENYON.

fitn—ln my last letter I stated it as my opinion, that as far
PV we are concerwed as refer:re, it would be 'setter to t.reni..
the busioem here, iu consequence of the accusation ha,-
for the first time. idler a peeled of more than
inuatbs, been attempted beyond Mrs. Jones, the neigioal
object. (hi this I should be happy to knew your sentiments.
In the RICIP time, however, in answer to the latter psrt (of
your lira letter;, which I have not noticed, I beg to observe,
that if you should be of opinion that the reference had hest
go uo, I would, I, that event, fur the sake of expedition, re-
quest of you t., ask Me,. Corbet, if the whole of her cue
leggiest Mrs. Jones is given iu ? this I will beg a precise
and positive anew, r, as you must be aware that I could not,
with propriety, ads ise Mrs. Jones to put in her reply till she
is possessed of the fall (meat of the aecnestioa svitust her
in all its parts. I eau, Ste,
Your obedient humble servant,
