. . ~,
The general interest excited by the extraor,
dinary circumstances attending and resulting,
from the connexion between, these parties, has
induced us to resume the-subject, and this day
our iteaderS have, with what hdi already appeared
in Tot:Susi the whole of the correspondence re-
in ting to these singular I ratisactions.
During the long nicknack, although years had elapsed, Miss
FoOte fled very little of Chlrinel Berkeley's company ; and she
was in the habit,. Wiwi separated -from *him, (and which was
mostly ft or 9 months out of every year), of writing to him every
day- Many offers'of Marriage were made to her, and Colonel
Berkeley was'alwnys informed of the overtures, and-in-one in..
stance he answered the propOsal• himself that is, he indited.the,
letter to decline the oiler. On the kith or 7th of January,,lB22,
one of the officers in- the Feiner!. of Wales's Dragoon Guards,
and a' man of fortune, wrote a letter to Miss Foote, declaring
honourable love and attachment 'to her, soliciting an interview,
and offering marriage. lie called and sent several 'time* for an ,
answer; but Miss l'oote did not give him an intetview,, being
engaged to Colonel B. ,On the 12th he wrote another letter,
again declaring hit most honoitrable intentioni and • courting,
inquiry as to his fancily, connexions, respectability, rank, for-
tune, &C. - All this Miss Foote 'communicated by letter td •
Colonel B. On the 16th Mr. Foote had an interview with this
suitor, who was informed that Miss Foote was engaged to CUL
Berkeley, and that therefore bib offers could not be received by ,
Miss F., who shortly afterwards received another letter from that
Gentleman,. with some game • which she immediately returned
to him with a note, desiring thatl be would not send her any
more,lettefs, as She 'could not receive them. COL Berkeley
was always very indignant at these offers, and reviled the per.
'sons making them, desiring Miss Foote, if they called or sent
-anymore, to have a police-officer, and be no more troubled
with • their solicitations,—not considering, that as their offers.
were honourable.; that at least in the refusal there was some
civility due: '.slr. Foote, in consequence, resolved that no
more overtures should be made known to him. On Monday,
the Ist of December, Colonel Berkeley came again for a few
minutes in the day, Mist Foote having to perform that even.

but was so extremely ill both in , health and spirits, , that the
whole audience must have observed her painful situation. It
was her last performance, and Colonel B. was in one of the
stage-boxes on the occasion. •
The marriage •of -his brother took Colonel Berkeley out of
town on Tuesday, but he wrote n note previous to his starting,
to request Miss Foote to secure him a private box against but
return for Thursday, to see the new entertainment of Conn.
Miss Foote did so; but feeling that Col. Berkeley had not sa.•
tisfaCtorily convinced her of his intention to marry her—not
that he did not fully say he would marry, but he was not dis.
tinct enough as to when, which had ever been the point of con-
tention,' and now the great one. Miss Foote, knowing that
Col. Berkeley would come to bey just the same as beMre, and
that he would see her if she were et Hume, when she might have
all the *ane arguments over again, determined to quit,. her
home, first sending the following letter to him :-.- • .
" DeCereber 4, 1823, Thursday.
" My dearest Berkeley--Since thou left me I have reflected
on.all that you said, and as it is still a matter of doubt whether
you can:make up your mind to perform your promises to me
o- not, I will be honest, and tell you that it is my determina-
tion never to see you • again, unless yell write' to me, and • tell
me that you will immediately mace me yours, and that min pa-
rents shall not be discarded nor exelnded from me-conditions
that I never could have imagined yin could have propobed to
me, and which you must feel assured I should reject. I will
not deceive you : I tel convinced that 1 could not be happy
even as your wife, if my father and mother were to be entirely
unit out from my society. It is not - your priividing for them
' that would compensate me for the Mi!tery they would endure;
for I am certain they would rather "-allure poverty With me, than
affluence separated from me. and under such "circumstances spa-
rated toe. Whatever errors they may have been guilty nf, they
have never arisol from any bad intention towards nit. or you. They
have always been kind and affectionate to me, though 1 have
brought mithingbutd isgrace and censureupon their names. They
have endured the taunts and abuse of the worldt by seeming to
countenance my conduct with you ; and do ydu think I could de-
rert them when I had it in my power to restore them to respectabi-
lity and happiness ? No! I could not bear the reproach wide!'
such unfeeling conduct would cast upon me; I am convinced
it would send them to their graves, and it would make me more
miserable than I am even in my present situation. It is in vain
for me to see you clay after day, and stiffer my feelings, during
those interviews, to get the better of my resolution, which when
you leave me is as firm again as ever. Write all you have to
communicate to me, for I shall be front home, nor shall I re-
turn but as, the nature of your answer may direct ; far 1 cannot
again subject myself to interviews that terminate -so onsa-
' nsfactorily to my feelings. I entreat you to write ins a
decided mower, and believe Me, my dearest Berkeley, ever,
Aver .thine."

`• To Colonel Berkeley; &c. Spring-garden House.".

Thiv letter produced the following from Colonel Berkeley to
3liss FOote t--

" Thursday eve.
"'ram just returned, and have read yoitr letter. If I come
to your house,' it will be IA accede to .ppr request, if Dot,
shall leave London to-morrow morning, and trouble you no
more, leaving you to the enjoyment of some other society ur
establiShment, which (from that which .I have just now read)
seems to be contemplated by you, or your father and Mother.
If .I come, 1 will be with you by half.past 12, and in the Mean
time I shall think."

Colonel Berkeley's note in answer to.AI iss. Foote induced her
to return home, with the full expectation that he had reflected,
and that he was prepared to marry her. lle came accordingly,
and declared it to be his intention to marry her, but said, that
if he did so, he would not be bound by any conditions reapect_
ing her father and. mother ; that he would take care they
should be provided for with respectability ; and that he
would do nothing towards them that should make Miss Foote
unhappy.
The following letters will account for Miss Foote again
visiting Colonel 'Berkeley at the Castle as usual at Christ-
mas, and en his birth,-day in particular, which, for the five
years before, she. had never failed doing, ivith her tither
mother, or both. Aline Foote always, went to the Castle ac-
companied by het father ,'zor mother, and often other ladies
with her :
