TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.

hive read in your Paper of this morning
a paragraph relating to the recent retirement of
Mr. CHARLES KeMBLa from the boards of which
he has so long been one of the chief ornaments.
That paragraph, notwithstanding its artfully
quiet construction, was evidently drawn up by
those who have sent it to you, for the pur-
pose.of prejudicing the public mind against the
Gentleman in question. I therefore call upon
your impartiality as an Editor; and your feelings
as a man, to request the Public will suspend.
their judgment until they know all the 6reum--
stances which have induced Mr. C. Karant.a to
adopt such a line of conduct, the only one left to
an honourable and independent.miud. It cannot
and will not be long before the town will have an
opportunity of
_judging for itself. 1 could say
much, but I forbear, lest 1 should appear to fol-
low the plan 1 complain ot, and be led into an
attempt to induce others to.prejudge the question.
I am professedly an admirer of Mr. Kr.mnt.a's
lalents, nay, .of his very name, and, lam proud
to add, his personal.friend ; 'hot the utmost I can
possibly wish is that plain facts may he stared.
1 am, Sir, your's,
Oct. 27, 1819. AMICUS.

[We deny the assertion of .4micus that the pa.
ragraph to which he alludes was drawn up with a
view to prejudice the public mind against Mr. C.
KemaLE ; nor has it any such tendency. We
lieve that, under the circumstances, Mr. C.
KEMBLR is not the individual against whom that
censure should be awarded,' which sooner or later
must tall somewhere.—Editor of the Herald.]
