DEAR. rOOTE--.I have been so truly wretched last night from a
variety of contending feelings, that I feel perfectly unequal to the
task of seeing you personally on the subject which my friend Mr.
Manning is authorised by me to break to you. The tide of family
influence, strengthened by many unhappy circumstances, is so
strong against my porsuing further our late treaty, that I aut coni-
pelletl,.mc,st painfully, though reluctantly, to relinquish it.
Grosvenor-street, Your', very truly,
Monday morning, Sept. 27. J. lIAYNE.

Alter having received, as she thought, a final letter
from Mr. Hayne, Miss Foote, the same evening, re-
ceived the following epistle :

Wednesday night, 29th &pt. is:N.—Ten o'Ciock.
Mr DEARCST MARIA—We know each other well, With all my
hubs, you have ever respected my honour. I entreat of you to
grant me an interview to-morrow morning anywhere but in Keppet-
street. My love for you is unabated, and my great anxiety is to
convince you of the sincerity of
Your's most affectionately and most sincerity,
Piazza Coffee-house, Covent-garden. J. BAYNE.

No. LIV.—MISS FOOTE'S ANSWER.
Thursday Morning, 30th Sept. 1824.
Your conduct is as inconsistent as it is cruel and unjust. Gooch
Goo, is this your mode of proving your professed love and regard?
Was it not enough to fix one day for our noptiala, and then leave
me in the dreadful uncertainty and suspense I had to endure
through the whole of that day ? rut no—you ask forgiveness—you
plead that you were not a flee agent, and you are again admitted.
Your first thought was to repair (as far as you could) this injury—
you then procure a license, and for another day—you propose Mon-
! day to sign the necessary papers, and then, to my horror and your
shame be it spoken, you make another excuse as frivolous as the
former, and conclude by saying you are unalterably determined to
sacrifice me, and with it your honour and good name. After this,
is it to be endured, that you could seek an interview with me on
any terms until this last sad act was repaired ; and yet, to my hor-
ror, suifering with . p tinful illness brought 0:1 by your cruelty, and
confined to my bed, you have the bad taste (1 u.e a very mild term)
to ask an interview away from my family end blends! Aly first
impulse led me nut to reply to such a letter; but willing to believe
(however improbable) that such conduct had nut proceeded fiom
the natural impulse of your own heart, but was directed by the bad
advis.ers that surrounded you, I say I will once more consent to see
ycu, but it will be in the Nonce of my family. I hope I shall
sufficiently composed to make that convenient on Saturday.
Your afflicted

Although my past and present conduct may merit your censure,
yet it cannot your cruel, ungenerous, and unitild letter. Thrice
have I perused it, and deplore to mce such a, vele:ate batted in
every line. 1 may have acted inconsistently. but never have I in-
jured you, which your cool reflections hereafter wilt convince you
of. Farewell! fur ever, Farewell!
Thursday morning.

A Morning Paper recently gave a. list of the Catholic
mercantile wealth of the City of lln1)1r., amounting to
'nearly five millions sterling. The Dutill Correspwleat
of Saturday states, that it is a most exag4erated state-
ment, adding, "If such wealth really abouni in the
body, all we wi.!) to say is, that it is a crling shame
and injustice to draw from the miserable pittance of the
wretched peasantry that fund, in the shape of [tent,
which is to effect the Emancipation project, while the
contributions of such rich individuals is limited to a
guinea each."

The Monarch of the triple Crown, says the Belfast
Chronicle, has lately issued an Edict, of which the fol-
lowing is an extract : 44 In order the better to spread
the light of the Gospel among the Israelites, the mea-
sures taken during the time of Pope CLEMENT VIII. to
compel Jews to attend Catholic sermons, and which
only was interrupted by the recent political events to
which Italy has been a prey, ate re-established from the
date of Ist March last." The Edict afterwards orders
" three hundred Jews to attend sermon every Saturday
evening, and that according to their thin, there shall be
amongst them 100 individuals, aged from twelve to!
thirteen years, and fifty girls and women of the same
age. Each time that a Jew misses sermon when it is
his turn to attend, he shall pay a fine of five paoli ; no
excuse will be admittid ; if the. oldest Jew do not de-
nounce the defaulters, they shall be fined thirty scudi.
The Christians who insult the Jews when they are at
Church, shall be birched, or incur other pains, accord-
ing as the circumstances are more or less grave."
It is remarkable, that the disaster which has happened
at St. Petersburgh, occurred on the 9th of November, the anniver-
saryof the death of the Great CATIZAUTSI is 1796.
