EXTRACT OF A LETTER.

Pane. Oct. 12.

You will ere this have heard the fatal terminann. of l'aptain
Pellew's guilty attachment to the wile of Nis. Walsh. The un-
fortunate young than (Captain Penes.), who was but is his ttith
year, was shut through the head at the tirst tire, and shed in-
stantly. For the sake of the tifflteted relatives of both parties, it
would be infinitely dubitable that all such events should be buri-
ed in entire oblivion; but as that is.not possible, it becomes tile
duty of all a hu write or speak on the subject. to keep in view Cde
moral effeet of the example. which it holds out.
Air. Walsh not long smce exchanged from the Life Guards, in
which corps Captain PeHew held his commission. Prior to Mr.
Walsh's quitting the regiment he had resisted with his %tibia
good deal in the barracks in Ilytle-park, where, being young
and thoughtless, she unhappily received with too much fealii.
ness those attentions which military men often think themselves
ut liberty to pay to every female. The consequence was ►uch as
might be expected to result frosn such intatuution. A close at-
bailment was formes! between Cart. Peilew and the lady ; and
..t length, in a fatal moment, she agreed to sacrifice her charac-
ter by eloping with the uh,ject of her blind all'ogion. About a
n nth since she went Olt with hint from her father's hoc,'
where she had been residing fur some time, during the absence
at het husband. Th.y tame to Pails, whither miry were bil-
lowed by Nib Walsh, he prefert mg what is called the satisfaction
of a gentle:llan, to pursuing any legal means of redress. A Nit'
F- tame over with him, and by him the inceting was ar-
ranged with qtr. on tbe part 01 Capt. ',thew. They
were also attended on the ground by NIT. as the friend
of Mr. F. unit by Capt. b. as the friend of Alt. H. Ur.

and they were to tire together by signal. When that was given.
the pistol of Air %Valid' was immediately discharged. Captain
Pellov did not tire, and it is said he never imenden to do so.

The nature of the inelosure nmy be inferred
from the following reply of Mr. Latubtou

I.ambron Hall, Oct. 15. IRI9.
Stn—l beg to decline aigniig the doeuan,t uan.ananAl by
you under the denomination of the loyal :col ronstitutional he.
ch.:ration of Lae In:4:n:tants at Cl:eater Wart:, for the tall:rat:4
n.avrib:—

First, BCCUUtoe no mectimt was ever publicly milled of the in-
habitants ut Clux.ter %Vard, at the subject cout..o-
ed could be openly introduced anti fairly discussed.
Swum:ly, Doc:tube I posititeiy deny that ally " existing Cir.
curnittances of the neighbourhissi" render it necessary that we
should proclaim aloud to the world, what nu man can doubt.
viz. our " loyalty t . .ds our sovereign, and out aita.iiitient to
the laws and Constitution &d our country."
Cohsequently it is not my iineittion to become a patty to 4
measure thus privately :mange!, or to atii.t in camug
utation of disloyalty on a •• neighbourhood," which, formall
p 1 have ev.r aeeti u. heard, deserves no sUCIi reproach.
I am, Sir, your obeoiehi Servant.
