'as sent to the 'Horse Guards,by an orderly Ser-
jeant, from his Royal,Highness the
.Commander
in Chief, counternianding the marching. of the
Privates of the Guards, which were to consist of
100 of the 2d regiment,' and 150 of the. 3d regi-
ment, to. reinforce' the army under the Marquis
of WELLINGTON : the reason assigned is, that the
shipping is not in readiness to receive 'them ;' the
quota of the 3d -regiment were yesterday morning
at the Depot in the Birdeage-walli of St. James's
• Pad', furnished with their canteens, haversacks,
&c. for their use on foreign service,
It is expected that the 'Life Guards will march

%Ve would advise those Irishmen who are so
little acquainted with the interests of their coun-
try as to be adverse to the Union, which has ren-
dered it an integral part 'of the British Empire, to
reflect on the opinion of the great MONTESQVIEU
on this very subject. According to the account
of the late Lord CELMILiMONT, as given in one of
bis letters; MONTESQUIETJ expressed the following
• sentiments :—" Were lan Irishman," said hP.;
1 should ,certainlywish for it, (an Union he-
' tweet} Ireland and this country) and as a general
lover of liberty; I sincerely 'desire it ; .and for this
Plain,reasote, that an inferior country,, connected
'• 'rid) one much her superior in force, can never be i
ccrtain of the permanent enjoyment of her cone.,
etitutional freedom, Unless she has, by her repre-
. ecntativese a proportional share in the Legislature
of the s-a9erior r,:x.gf!'ml.'!—Surely this opinion
of one of -the profoundest political writers that
ern. existedr and related by a Nobleman whose
veracity no Irishman will presume to. distrust,
//lust have.dneweightwith every reflecting man'eee -
:But indeed the advantages of the Union are so oh-
that even the. opinion of the great MONTES;
QUIFX, is not necessary to justify a measure which
entitles those who accomplished it to the everlast-
ing esteem and gratitude of every true friend to
.Ireland.
The folloWire• letter her; been addressed to the
tditOr of a Mornin. Paper, in consequence of an
affair which w' alluded to in a paragraph in the_
trst of yesterday
SIB., Surrey Theatre, Sept. 15, 160.
perceive, by your Paper of this morning, that.
some." good-natured friend" tips 'furnished you
With an allusion to a fracas Which took place at
this Theatre a week- ago, between Mr. Elliston.
and Mr. De CaMp ; and,in such a fornt.as greatly
'to misrepresent the circumstances. '
Mr. Elliston is at Cheltenham ; and, at this mo-
ment, I have no means of &insulting with him, whe-
ther any notice should beta'ken of such a mis-state-'
anent or not. AO, however, am very unfairly referred
to, Ithink it right injustice to myself, as well as to,
11r. Elliston anal' Mr. De Camp, to say that the
facts were simply these-. A dissension • !lid occur
at the theatre, on the evening of Tuesday, the Bth
instant; between Mr. Elliston and Mr. De Camp,
in which. some hasty expres,sioas were used on
both sides; 'and which, for -a single moment, did
occasion a slight personal encounter. The effect-of
this was7a meeting at tin early hour the next. morn-.
ing, on Dulwich Common, where Mr. Elliston was
accompanied by -myself, and Mr. De Camp by
one of his friends.' Mr. Elliston and Mr. De Camp
vxchanged 'shot& : and then, on the interposition
Of Mr. De, Camp's friend and myself they
,were
prevailed upon to shake. hands. 'No persons in
' such' a-situation could conduct themselves more
properly.
In reference to the allusion to myself, I'have to
add; that the quarrel was not produced by any act
or expression of in.ne; and that, so lat• from fo-
inenting any difference between tile parties-, every
Possible effort was used by me to reconcile them
during the, progress of the dispute, and befOre
they proceeded to the last extremity.
".1 mu sorry I have been obliged to intrude upon
'nu; and 1 remain, Sir, .
Your most obedient servant,
Seeiu. TAo. RUSSELL.
