FURTHER. PARTICULARS RESPECTING TUE LATE

DUEL.'

The following is a Copy of the Letter sent by
Mr. ADOLPHUS to. Mr. ALLeY on the 13th, and
which led to the rencontre at Calais :--
"Temple, Nov. 13, ISM
.6 SlR,.—The time which has elapsed since your
visit at liow,street has been quite sufficient to
allow all apprehensions am/ suspicious in your
family and my own to subside, and I therefore
feel myself at liberty to return to a subject itt
which my conduct has been, by the most base
*Da maligoaot means, wilfidly and falsely.calum-
njated. You have asserted, in words to many
Gentlemen at the Bar, and permitted, anti canard
it also to be stated in print, that I have 'refused to
meet yon WS a Gentleman. At the time of tucking
such a charge you knew it not to be tent, and
that all the tads with which ywt attempted to.
support it were mere contrivantt..s to give your
awn conduct the appearance of courage, and to
'emir own falsehoods the appearance of truth.--
ifoweverohat no doubt may remain on the sub-
ject, I shall have quitted London before this letter.
es put into your hands, and, shall go immediately
to Calais, where I shall remain until the. morning
at Tuesday next. I shall go instantly there to
she Great Whet; the Master's name believe,
Maurice.
" It in that period I eat) see you there, you
will huve full opportunity of convincing me that
my charges against youare all unfounded, and that
am mistaken as to your valour at least, if not as
to your veracity. You may, if you please, he as
soon at Calais as I am, or you may take your
choice of any day within the time Y specify ; for
as I don't think it necessary to work myself into
a blustering fit of two hours or 24 hours' dura-
tion, I arts quite indifferent at to.time, and only
so far anxious as to place of meeting, as to take
care that it shall not occasion a breach of the
peace in this kingdom, Irons which, after what
bas • passed before Mr. Blame, 1 think myself
bound to refrain. But I tell you honestly, Ido
not believe you will meet me, for I am convinced
that you never had, nor ever will have, the spirit
to act like a Gentleman. If any thing can stimu-
late you to affect a virtue when you have it not,
this declaration will do it. But I still believe
that your innate and incurable baseness Will nut
keel) Pit quiet ; and I therefore fairly state to
you. that 1 Wend, on my return front Calais, if
I do nut see you there, to make this letter, with
a narrative of all that has passed between us,
public, as far us '1 may think fit.
". In what has passed between us, I mean to
include your abject and cowardly apology on two
former occasions, anti which, with other parts of
your conduct unit character, fixed in my'mlittl a
• oeterotioation never to call you to (my account,
whatever your behaviour might be; and I mean
to include the dirty and dishonourable transac-
tion.on your part at. the hegianiag, of the Sep-
tember Sessions, the detection and reproof of
which, by me, occasioned that rankling animo-
s\ty in you which produced your repeated displays
Or vulgar insolence, and ended id that paltry u
plosion of mock valour which gave you au op-
portunity of (me day's boasting, supported by the
arts of false'assertions, suppressions of known
facts, and the clumsy fabrications of a pretended
currespondence.---I.airt, 81e. '
" JOHN ADOLPHUS.

" P. S, My friend, who will deliver this letter,
LOS no ftirther charge than that of putting it into
your bauds."
There are other accounts, of this dud; but the
above letter is the only novelty,' and as we are
persuaded that the public has had quite enough of
the business, we abstain from loading our columns
with partial and contradictory narrations.
