Several erroneous reports having gone for,th re.
lative to a meeting which recently took place be•
tween Lord Kilworth and Mr. W. W. Pole, the
seconds deem it proper to publish the following
statement :—. •
In conseq'lence of a misunderstanding which occurred at an
Assembly, on Tuesday evening, a meeting took place between
Lord Kilworth and Mr. W. W. Pole.
Lord Kilworth was attended by Captain Robinsop, of the
Guards, and Mr. Pole by I leutenant-Colonel Shawe.
The secoruls on both sides were called on so short a time be•
fore the hour appointed for the meeting, that no Communica-
tion could take place between them before they reached the
ground.
After a short conversation between tl* seconds; it appeared
to them, that the affair had oeiginated entirely in misconception,
when eeplanations to the satisfaction of-both parties took place,
and every thing was amicably adjusted in the Most honourable
manner.
It did not appear to the seconds that any apology was nec.ts,
sary, nor was any made.

ANOTHER MEETING.-FINAL ADJUSTMENT?

STATEMENT OF THE SECONDS.

In consequence of a variety of erroneous reports
relative to a meeting which lately took place be.
tween Lord Kilworth and Mr. Wellesley Pole,
Lord Kilworth thought it right to publish the state.
rent of the transaction according to his Lordship's
view of the subject.
Mr. Pole having a different impression of what
had taken place, felt himself hound to make his
statement. Lord Kilworth, finding that the matte?
had not been understood, felt himself under the ne.
- cessity of. again calling on Mr. Pole, and sent him
the following letter ;--.

was completely adjusted to our mutual satisfaction; but iota.
sequence of a misconception on the part of my friend, or in con.
seqoence of the unfounded reports of others, I. am bound m call
on you again to redress that injury, which I was told was cop.
pietely redressed, but which, according to my ideas, remains yet
unatoned for.
t, Though not called on to do so, I am willing nevertheless to
inform you, that I should not have published any stitement of
the occurrences between us, had not your promise that tier
should not tranvire been violated, at the same time that 028
