IL M. Clayeringi Esq. .
General Claveriug having read this letter,-obsery-
.ed, th4he had for three
,weeks carefully deliberated
upbn the line Of. conduct he should pursue; it was;
detailed his letter (No. 4), and from that
would not .swerve ; that hedid'not consider this a
,common-case—not a diffetnce upon ~light points,
which could be settled in the usual mode; that if
he went out, he went fully determined to extermi-
nate Lord Folkestone, or to. be -exterminated hint
self ; he.repeated, that he went with the same dis-
position as meet an enemy in the fide he consi
dered bis ina.rary so, great, that be would not, leave
the decision to chance that the letter, though not
intended for publication, had not been disa“iwed,
as Lord Folkestone thought fit,to -do by the others ;
that he :woold appoint tn; second whatever, but
would abide by .whathe had first written ; that i‘ne
of his reasons was, that
_seconds were usually.satis7
fled to have an apology made, And to that lie would
Bever consent.
Mr. Lushington' said, Lord Folkestone had not
-any intention of offering any apology, and yepeated
this distineity afterwards. - ,
General clavering replied, he had not consulted
any one upon this occasion ;. that, -perhaps, he
thouid have a difficulty in finding any friend Who,,e
mind was wrought up to the. pitch his was : 'that
.he would meet Lord Folkestone in five minutes,
in that room, in' Lord Folkestone's, or in the gar-
clen ; but that he would not name any person to a 6,1
on his part, -
Mr. Lti,hington said, he dotild not think of being
present oione: •
General Clavering observed,. that "he should be
well satisfied to have Mr. LulhingionOnly ; but that
though he had no thoughts of a surgeon, yet he
wouid,not objea to 'one being present, 'having no
authority to .ate in any way for him, and that it
should be so understood.
Mr. Lushitigton replied, that though quite unused
to these Matters, yet that he had'always understood
tbat it was usual and right for a-geptiemah to attend.
on each Ode, -and that nothing should induce hiM
to go out singly. -,
.General Chiveriw2 asked if Lord Folkestone would
consent to meet Mai on the terAis, mentioned in his
letter.?

Mr. LOshington replied, 'that LOrd Folkestoi e
had dreidy n his answer, which was wri,ten in
No '5 ; namelv, that to 7" `A ould meet General Ca-
ver% in :my A ay,' which migat he deemed fair and
proper by two gentlemen, one appointed on each side.
This clues ion was repeated hy General Clavering,-
and e was again referred to the- letter'No. 5 ; 'Upon,
whi..fi General Claveringobserved, that he would
not ail pint any ellt% •
Lushington tt,en Am Ito understand
that you retuse to accept ,Lord FolkestOne's .otfer
of meelipg volt, and giving sati,faction in the
" inpde:expleSsed in• that letter, nainelY, to be
hxed,by two Gentlemen, one 3 litA 11 Led on each
".•side, as is usual and customary ?".
Gen. Clavering observed, that he considered' the
Aninry.as such, that he tvould not consent; to accent',
th.it off T. 1
LuShington said, that in matters of this sort
distin'!ness and clearness were .-of • the greatest im-
•portance, and ,that in Lord Folkestone's name be
again demanded if General Clavering would ac-
•cept the Offer made of meeting him in the
.field
to the manner to be fixed by, the seconds ?
• General Clavering more than once refused.
Mr. 'Lushington' said; that as Lord Folkstone's
offer of satista4ion had explicitly refused, he
Was authorised by-Lord F. to tell Gen.Clavering-, that
he declined-hating any thing further whatever to do
with him. -•-
General - Clavering replied, he supposed Lord
Folkestone, was awiee of ,what he, threatened to dO
if he me! liirn in the'street, -as he had' in his letter,
N0.,4, stated Ins determination.
Mr. Lushington answered, that Lord. Folkestone
had read the letter,. and must be aware of its Con-
tents ; and added, that as Lot:cl 'Folkestone's proposa,l
was, refused, there was an end of his mission 3,lbut
t hat he was ready to be the channel of any future
communication if General Clavering should think fit
to mike any. •
Wneral chtveripg desired Mr. Lushington, who
was, quitting the room, .to come back,' and said be
WOLlid Write to a friend, Who perhaps 4A,.0u1d con-
sent, to be his second on hisi own terms ; that he
would mention the affair to him, and make a corn-
. munication to Mr. Lushington the' Mondaysfollow-
ing. . .

. .
On Sunday General Clavering called upon Mr.
LiOingion,. and said he had been down into the
cptintry to a friend of his, Capt. Sinith, et the Navy,
who had kindly ,consented to die its-second 011 this.
occasion ; that; he Would Candidly confess that Cap-
tain Smith &s:ipprche,l of hisle.ter Nu. 4;, and. that
therefore the part telating to close fighting must be
considered as relracted';• than considering, rill -the cir-
curnstances,.he thought he might be excusable.
- On Monday Deceratxrdotti, Captain Smith and
Mr. Lusitington met;' and having beLonie mutually
responsible to each other, that the revec:tive parties
\for which they aded' Voogd rigidly abide by thJi
united decision, and thinking the dispute might' be
,adjusted in a manner strictly honourable to both'
part-ies by Mutual concession, came to the following
agreeMent :--- • ,
• ." GeneralsClavering is sensible that the letter he
wrote to Lord -Folkestone contained very improper
expres,nons, which were digitated by the, warmth df
irriGited feelings; but which, upon cool reflection,'
he retrads'and disavows. •
" Lord FOLKESTONE considered it as impossible,
whilst t hose letters.remained.disaVowed, for him'to
say any thing respeaing his letter published in the
Rival Princes;' ont these letters being recalled,,
he does now, as he would have dour in the first in-
stance, had They nut been written, admit, that he
.is sorry that any expression offensive to General
Clavering, in a private letter of his, should, through
a, breach of confidence,. have been .made public :
and he adds, that he ntvers.had any h.goition of giv•—•
ing offence to General Clavering. .
