(9.)---11EMORANDUM OF SIR HENRY lIARDINGE.
" Friday, March 20.

" Sir Henry Hardinge delivered to Lord Falmouth a
Memorandum on the 20th of March, from the Duke of
Wellington, in reply to one from Lord Winchilsea last
night; in the latter of which it was proposed, as a pre-
liminary to any explanation, that the Duke of Wellington
should disclaim having contemplated the intentions attri-
buted to his Grace by Lord Winchilsea, which mode of
reparation was considered inadmissible.
"In the Memorandum of the Duke of Wellington, his
Grace states that his cause of complaint is in the publica-
tion of opinions highly offensive to him. Whenever, there-
fore, any terms or mode of reparation, which Lord Win-
chilsea may be disposed to offer, are communicated to Sir
H. Hardinge, he will make them known to the Duke of
Wellington, and inform Lord Falmouth whether they are
satisfactory or not. " HENRY HARDINGE."
"N.B.—The original of this delivered to Lord Fal-
mouth."

(IO.)—MEMORANDUM OF THE EARL OF FALMOUTH,
"March 20, One o'clock.

" Out of respect for the Duke of Wellington, Lord Fal-
mouth has taken to Lord Winchilsea the Duke of Welling-
ton's Memorandum, put into his hands by Sir Henry Har-
dinge, this morning, at the War-office, with Sir Henry's
own note thereon.

" In reply, Lord Winchilsea does not feel himself in a
situation to comply with the expectations therein ex-
pressed, as to the withdrawal of his public letter. Lord
Winchilsea, therefore, desires that Lord Falmouth will de-
cline so doing on his (Lord W.'s) behalf.

~ WINCIIILSEA."

(11.)-MEMORANDUM OF SIR 11. lIARDINGE.

" 21st of March, Two o'clock.

" My Lord,—l feel it my duty, before I make a final
communication to your Lordship, to ascertain beyond the
possibility of a doubt, that Lord Winchilsea declines to
give the reparation which the Duke of Wellington consi-
ders himself entitled to receive.

" I am, my Lord, your obedient servant,
" HENRY HARDINGE."

" The Earl of Falinouth."

(12.)-FROM LORD FALMOUTH TO SIR H. HARDINGE.
" London, March 20, 1829, Half-past 3 P.M.

- - .
" Sir,—ln reply to your note, stating that you wish
to ascertain positively whether Lord Winchilsea de-
clines to give the reparation which the Duke of Wellington
considers himself entitled to receive, I feel myself unable to
say more than to refer you to the note which I delivered to
you, as signed by him, in answer to the Duke of Welling-
ton's memorandum this day ; and that if by the word
reparation' any withdrawal of Lord Winchilsea's public
letter, or expression of regret for its contents, be expected,
he does not feel himself in a situation to comply with such
expectation.

" I am, Sir,
" Your obedient humble servant,
" To Sir Henry Hardinge." -" FALMOUTH."

03. ).....-FROIII SIR H. HAB DINO E TO THE EARL OF FAL-

MOUTH.

" 11, Whitehall-place, March 20, 1829.

" My Lord,—l send your Lordship a letter from the
Duke of Wellington to Lord Winchilsea, communicating
to his Grace, the note of 3 P. M., declining, on Lord W.'s
part, to make any reparation or give any explanation, &c.
of his Lordship's conduct towards the Duke of W., and in
order to avoid the possibility of any mistake, I repeat what
has already been verbally arranged between us, that the
Duke of W. will be at the place appointed at eight o'clock

to-morrow morning. H. HARDINUE."
" To the Earl of Falmouth."

(14.)FR031 THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO LORD WIN-

CHILSEA.

" London, March 20, Half-past Six r.m.

" My Lord,—Sir Henry Hardinge has communicated
to Hie a Memorandum signed by your Lordship, dated one
P. M., and a note from Lord Falmouth dated three P.M.
" Since the insult, unprovoked on my part, and not de-
nied by your Lordship, I have done every thing in my
power to induce your Lordship to make me reparation—
but in vain. Instead of apologising for your own conduct,
your Lordship called upon me to explain mine.
6' The question for me now to decide is this—ls a Gen-
tleman, who happens to be the King's Minister, to submit
to be insulted by any Gentleman who thinks proper to
attribute to him disgraceful or criminal motives for his
conduct as an individual. I cannot doubt of the decision
which I ought to make on this question. Your Lordship
is alone responsible for the consequences.
" I now call upon your Lordship to give me that satis-
faction for your conduct which a Gentleman has a right
to require, and which a Gentleman never refuses to give.
" I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) " WELLINGTON."
" The Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham."

(15.)--FROM LORD FALMOUTH TO SIR 11. HARDINGE.
" London March 20, 1829, Half-past Eleven, P.M.
" Sir,—When 1 received the favour of your note,
with its enclosure, soon after eight o'clock this evening, I
had just sat down to dinner, and beingin company, I could
not read it without exciting suspicion till some time after-
wards. I had then to find Lord Wiuchilsea—all which I
mention in excuse for delay, in case you should think it of
importance ; but I apprehend that after an arrangement
made before five o'clock this afternoon, his Grace's letter
to Lord Winchilsea, calling upon him for satisfaction in
the usual way, was meant merely as a customary form on
such occasions. All matters will take place of course to-
morrow morning at eight o'clock, according to that ar-
rangement. " I have the honour to be,
" To Sir H. liardinge." " FALMOUTH."

(16.)-FROM LORD WINCIIILSRA TO THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON.
" Suffolk-street, Friday Night, 11 P.M.
" My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your Grace's note.
" I have already had occasion to communicate to your

Grace, that under existing circumstances, I did not feel
myself in a situation to comply with what was required of
me in regard to my public letter.
" The satisfaction which your Grace has demanded, it
is of course impossible for me to decline.
" I have the honour to be, your Grace's most obedient
humble servant, " WINCHILSEA."
" To his Grace the Duke of Wellington."

The Duke of Wellington and Lord Winchilsea met at
the place appointed this morning (March 21.) '1 he parties
having taken their ground, Lord Winchilsea received
the Duke of Wellington's fire—and fired in the air.
After some discussion the accompanying Memorandum
was delivered by Lord Falmouth to Sir Henry Hardinge,
and accepted by Sir Henry Hardinge as a satisfatory Re-
paration to the Duke of Wellington.

(17.)-MEMORANDUM ABOVE REFERRED TO.

" March 21, 1829.

" Having given the Duke of Wellington the usual sa-
tisfaction for the affront he conceived himself to have re-
ceived from 'me, through my public later of Monday
last, and having thus placed myself in a different situa-
tion from that in which I stood when his Grace com-
municated with me, through Sir Henry Hardinge an.l
Lord Falinouth on the subject of that letter, before the
meeting took place, I do not now hesitate to declare,
of my own accord, that, in apology, I regret having un-
advisedly published an opinion which the Noble Duke
states, in his Memorandum of yesterday, to have
chargel him with disgraceful and criminal motives in a
certain transaction which took place nearly a year ago. I
also declare. that I shall cause this expression of regret to
be inserted in the Standard newspaper, as the same chan-
nel through which the letter in question was given to the
public."
