AIR. W. WALTER and MR. O'AIEA RA.

To WILLIAM WALTER, ESQ. DEvossurnt PLACE.

Sin—l this morning took the liberty of sending a friend of
mine to you, for the purpose of making the communication con-
tained in this letter. Having learnt from him that pecuniary
recompence was not the object you had in view, so much as the
'public avowal of my sorrow and contrition for the outrage
and assault I had incautiously committed against you, I beg
leave to return you my acknowledgments for the forbearance
you have shewn, in not instituting a public prosecution against
me in a Court of Law, assuring you most solemnly that 1 was
led into the commission of the offence by the representations of
others, that you were the person of whom I was in search ;
this, and this alone, led to the insult I offered you : but having
discovered my error, and that you were neither directly nor
indirectly connected with the Times Newspaper, I could not
repose my head upon my pillow without having offered you
every atonement in my power. Be assured, Sir, that your
feelings cannot be more wounded than mine were on finding
that 1 had, however unconsciously, given offence to a Gentle-
man from whom I had received no provocation. The pain
which it has given me finds a feeble counterpoise in the promp-
titude with which I offer you every atonement in my power.—
That I have been culpable I confess, but the fault lies with
others who have misled me, and not with me : and if I could
for an instant suppose, that I had been wilfully deceived, I
would not lose one moment in bringing the Parties who llkus
betrayed me, to punishment. lam most' anxious that this, my
explanation and apology to you,' should be made as public as
possible, which will only be commensurate with the injury I
have done to your feelings and those of your family ; and with
this view I am desirous of inserting this letter in such of the
Public Newspapers as you shall point out. And remain, 'Sir,
Your obliged and obedient humble servant,
Lyons Inn, 24111 Jnly, 1822.. B. E. O'MEARA.

liitymAßK ET THEATIt E.-John Buzzby, though
disappointed of a day of plemure himself, conti-
nues to afford nights of pleasure to the public.—
This play was followed last night by the farce of
Peeping Tom, which was revived for the sake of
introducing LisToN as the curious hero, and he
supported the character with his usual quaint
and original humour.

GIL BLits.—We observed that a drama founded
on this admirable novel is forthcoming at the
English Opera House, and, as might be expected,
is to be supported by the whole strength of
the theatrical Company. The following is said
to be the arrangement of this new musical drama.
Gil Bias is to have three different representatives,
according to successive periods of his life. Miss
KELLY is to personate the hero at the age of 17.
PE IRMAN at 25, and BARTLEY at 52. This dra-
matic conception is wholly original, and prOmises
to be highly interesting and amusing. The ProL
prietor of the Theatre, according to report, con-
fidently relies upon its eventual success, as he
has resolved to bring it forward with all the ad-
vantage derivable from splendid and beautiful
scenery, costume, &c. &c.—Report, as we have
said, assigns this new and whimsical play to Mr.
PEAKE, jun., and his talents are well known for
graphic skill as well as dramatic humour.

We observe by the Diario of Cadiz of the sth
inst., that the news of the revolt at Madrid had
reached that city, and had called forth one ge-
neral expressio❑ of indignation. The patriotic
club demanded that the Isla should be placed in
a state of defence—that a declaration should be
issued, inviting the inhabitants of the rest of the
Peninsula to resort to Cadiz for protection, as
during the war of the independence—that the
militia should be immediately called out on ac-
tive duty—that a subscription should be opened
for the protection of liberty—that petitions
should be addressed to the K'ng, to make Cadiz
a free port, that It might be able to bear these
extraordinary expences—that arms should be
sent for to Seville—that all persons disaffected to
the Constitution should be ordered to quit Cadiz ;
and that, in St. Fernando and the Caraccas, all
the persons connected with the shipping should
be armed, to support the public cause.----(Times.)
By advices from Rio Janeiro to the 22d of
May, the Creole frigate, Commodore Sir TnomAs
HARDY, had arrived there from Lima and Val-
paraiso ; his Majesty's ships Lieven, Andromache,
and Liffey, had also arrived from England ; the
Lord ilobart packet, from Falmouth, arrived on
the 21st May ; the Walsingham packet sailed on
the 19th for Falmouth, calling at Bahia and Per-
nambuco.

POETRY.

On the beautiful PICTURES in the lap EXHIBITION at the
ROYAL A CADE MY,

PAINTED BY LADY ,EONG.

BY JOHN TAYLOR,

Said Fasutox to PAINTING," I'ni really quite tir'd
" Of works that but please for the. day,
" While your charming labours by all are admir'd,
" And for ages can boast of their sway.
" O'er the whimsies of fancy I'm destin'd -to range,
" All forms and all colours to try, -
" But my Vot'ries are ever demanding a change,
" And I'm toiling alone for the Err.
" 'Tis hard to see POETRY, Scut.P.TuAE,and You,
" Mankind with such ardourscaress,
" Yet find the Vain only my footsteps pursue,
" Who merely consult me on dress. - - •

" Then, prithee, assist an unfortunate friend,
" And teach me your beautiful art,
" That my efforts to something superior may tend,
" And reach from the EYE to the HEART."

•
"Go seek then," said PAINTING, "for models refin'd,
" That rational Vot'ries may throng,
" Study works that delight both the EYE and the MixD,
" In sb6rt you should emulate Loc.
" Resemble her talents, her judgment, her taste,
" The Wise and the Good you'll Command,
" Then Genius and Virtue to join 113 will haste,
" And we all shall be found handin hand.

" How the world will admire so harmonious a train,
" As Folly and'Vice they controul,
" While Genius with Painting and Fashion shall reign,
f, And VIRTUE preside o'er the whole!.".
