To FREDERICK EDWARD JONES, EN.

Six—l received your lOW, of which the following is a
copy, at six o';:loCk yesterday evening:—

ChMtifft: House, April .21, 1819..
MADAM—I hate this moment learned, with great concern,
from authority which I cannot rfoultt, that your father lies
most alarmin,oy. ill in a io-isnn. ..VV.hen I consider tit,. rne-,
lancholy sitnation that such. a circomstance.must necessarily
reduce you am! your family to, God forbidreven after all that
has happened, that env act of mine slumid he the means of
increasing those afflictions, 'which my own'heart tells me
must elicadv be so great. If, thereftsre, Madam,,;-on think
that your re-instatemcnt in the Theatre will tend to the fu-
ture prospects of youtself and family, i ball no longer op-
pose it, tror'shall reS'en loolr for an apology on my own ac-
'eonnt; in the foil- doOtlence, that, on cool reflection, you
will see the impropriety of your conduct towards ale, and
that I shelling experience a repetition of it.
You Must- curt AIMS' 111;rdain, to i'etnind you, thatthere
-are at present oafr parties to this unfortunate business, tied
to suggest to you the propriety of conciliating thc;n. I have
endear,,ored, iu the present connnurficatiort, to repress all
disagireaLle feviiii'gs'that I nth>, hare on this subject, and to
refrain, as far as possible, franc what might, in the slightest
-degree, increase those afflictions, which I can %sell imagine
great indeed.

I hare the honour to he, Madam,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
E.'JONE

fly this you are kind enough to re-instate me in my engage-
ment at the Yw,atre Ro!,al-1 have accepted your offer.--.
Without looking minutely into the terms in which that uffyr
conveyed, and Iwiag'deeply anxiolis to prevent, as far as
my supposed influence could effect it, all ftirther diiagrep-,
inent at the Tlicatre; the instant wrote a note to Mr.
Montgomery, of which the following is a :
'• DEAR S It-I hare only time to tell you, that Mr. Jones, in
a very handsome, gentlemanliLe wanner, has offered to re,-
engage toe, which 1•e-engagement I accept; and all matters
' now between us are'amicably adjusted,
Your's truly, • •- M. BYRNE.
Wednesday, Six.o'Clock.
A. A. Montgomery, Esq.

I did expect that this note might hare been read at an
early noUr at the Theatre, but it was not ; and to my great
surprise, I have lead this day in the public Newspapers a copy
of yonr (as I thought) private letter to me, which caused rue
to write that note to Mr. Montgomery, with the sole view
that I have already stated.
I confess I have been grieved, Sir, at this unnecessary pro-
- eeeding. Permit me to say, that I sought not an act of clot-
rity at your hands, but au act of justice; and even that I
did not require, -until it would have hevn.awarded to me by
the conscientious decision of four Gentlemen, two of them
Ito be chosen by yourself. ,

I might have been permitted to suffer in private for the af-
fliction of a parent; I might have been permitted to allevi-
ate his distress by my personal exertions, without his being
obtruded upon the public attention. I ant unfortunataly too
much exposed myself to this cruel alternative. _ ,

I am at, a loss, Sir, to discover what you mean by your ;iliae
shin to other r.irties that I should conciliate. I have never
wilfully offended any launan being. It has been my pride 0. coo-
ciliate the public opinion, and my constant end, avour to merit
the pubic favonr. I hope I have never acted towards any por-
tion of that public, so as to give them just cause of offence.
Indeed, Sir, nothing won Id give me more concern, than to have
even unconsCiotr;!y offended the humblest indi Vidual among
my kind patrons, and countrymen. I tun equally unconscious
of any act of impropriety towards you, Sir ; I tuay, perhaps.
have expressed myself too warmly, but it was at a time that I
was agitated by a sense of what I deemed an unmerited
injury, inflicted without notice or explanation. I shall.,
however, ebecrful;y.return to my duties at the Theatre ; and
sincerely hppe, th,tt all these unpleasant circumstances will,
front this nutmeat, be forgotten.
remain, Sir, your obedient Servant,
