DUEL BETWEEN THE DUKE OF WEL-
LINGTON AND THE EARL OF WINCIIILSEA.

In order to make the subject referred to in the
subjoined correspondence perfectly intelligible, we
preface it by extracts from a letter addressed by
Lord WINCHILSEA to Mr. COLERIDCE, Secretary to
the Committee fur Establishing the King's College,
London, dated March 14, 1829 :
" I was one of those who, at first thought the proposed
plan might be practicable, and prove an antidote to the
principles of the London University; I was not, however,
very sanguine in my expectations, seeing many difficulties
likely to arise in the execution of the suggested arrangement;
and I confess that I felt rather doubtful as to the sincerity
of the motives which had actuated come of the prime
movers in this undertaking, when I considered that the
Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government had
been induced, on this occasion, to assume a new character,
and to step forward himself as the public advocate of reli-
gion and morality.
" Late political events have convinced me that the
whole transaction was intended as a blind to the Pro-
testant and High Church party, that the Noble Duke, who
had for some time previous to that period determined upon
breaking in upon the Constitution of 1688,' might the
more effectually, under the cloak of some outward show of
zeal for the Protestant religion, carry on his insidious de-
signs for the infringement of our liberties, and the intro-
duction of Popery into every depat tment of the State."
