LORD BYRON.

It any thing n•ere necessary to elucidate anal
'tontiim the rein►►rks ►ce made on publishipg
jiljinigeil Poems of Lord ltvizON, it will be found
in the curresvoutienec on that. subject, which we
instil this Frnnt. this correspotnience it will
be seen, that the Alirect de►cial of Sir It, MILBANKU

Noel., that conspiracy lia'd ever existed against
liord BYRONS peitCC, teas frittered away
bytheJnurnal to which it appeared, into a dubious
statement that the Bdroner did nut know
of any conspiracy. Sir it. Nov.t.'s letier fully
&xplanis this, point; and the answer ;0.0, the

slew of the subject taken by the iSditot•of the
Journal it, question. llt Oltht he unpleasant to
that gentivinan that a mist epresentation of the
sort (however unintentional) should have occurred
in his hands, since he so plainly avows himself
to lie a partizan in this family quarrel, on the
opposite bide ; and it is more to be lamented,
that in his letter he should not have guardedly
avoided that. tone 'which appears to threaten pain-
disclosures, in order to intimidate the .14ady's
Tains front the intended disavowal.

These letters being public, we have felt no de-
licacy in anituadverting upon them but at the
same time, we cannot refrain front expressing our
abhorrence of that principle, tvhich thus violates
'the piiiiney of life, invades even the sanctity of
xbe marriage bed, outrages every social-and ho-

zourable feeling, and drags Matters into public dii-
cuoion which ought to be sacred in the confiden-
tial intetcourse bet wecn man and man, and in
the family' circle to which they belong. What
in Heaven's name has the Public to do with
the nultappy optore, th4lll made a mauve
for every pot'7house. 141 canvass, and decide ?
Why did Lord BirauN force his follies or his
tnisfortunes—on general attention by the coin-.
position and consequent ptomulgation• of these
eiscretlitable verses ? Such ex parte Attempts. ex-
tort refutation, however unwilling, and it is min-
Oalous to reply to that refutation, with another

Extract ut a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's
at Smyrna, dated 9th February!..." A great
number of the piratenby which the Archipelago
was infested were some timc since taken or de.

it is long since. any depredations have been beard
of, committed by their associates, in this vicinity."
A circumstance in all probability will soon
come before the Public, if the opinion of two of
the moat eminent nten of the Bar is correct, which
will tend very much to the relict of mercantile
men, who feel very severely the inconvenience
arising from the want of discounts. It is on the
subject of continuation in the Funds, which has
now arrived at so high a pitch, that it is often int-
po‘sible for.the honest and even wealthy trader to
meet his engagements: it no uncommon thing

4141 interest being 3, tl. An action, we under-
stand, has been brought against a Mouse of the
first nonsetinence.. to try the legal question on
this practice. A-similar action was tried a few
