MR. O'CONNELL AND MR. LEYNE.

The following i 4 an extract from a private letter of
a person in Dublin, on the subject of the quarrel
between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Leyne:

" liusum,Dgetatirs 1.

"The affair between Mr. O'Connell and Mr.Leyne has
engrossed much of the public attention, for although
the avowed declarations of the former, on the subject of
duelling, are well known, yet it was supposed by many
that he had waived his scruples, or was about to do so,
because it was incorrectly stated in some of the news-
papers, that he had requested time to consider the Mat-
ter ; the fact was, that he, in the first instance, stated
to Mr. Leyne's friend, that no consideration would in-
duce him to aim at the life of another man. This an-
swer did not at all satisfy Mr. Leyne, who repaired to
the Ilall of the Courts, and pretty broadly hinted that
he would have satisfaction in one way or the other
—in short, it is said that he threatened to offer personal
violence. This circumstance at length game to► the
ear of Maurice O'Connell, the eldest son of the law-
yer, and that young man instantly commissioned a
friend to wait on Mr. Leyne. who informed that Gen.
tleman that Mr. Maurice O'Connell had just heard that
Mr. Leyne had made some hostile communications to
his father—that it was well know• that his father was
a man of extremely religious principles—that he had
for many years past frequently and publicly avowed
that nothing would ever again induce him to fight a
duel; he, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, under these circum-
stances, was, on the part of his father, ready to receive
the commands of Mr. Leyne, and to comply with his
wishes on the Brauer of personal satisfaction. Mr.
Leyne replied, thivs he and the latter Gentleman had
no personal quarrel ; that, on the contrary, they were
always particular friends.—Mr. O'Connell's friend re-
plied, that he was sent to Mr. Leyne to let him know that
bit, Mold in his father's place.—Mr. Leyne: Sir, are
pat asvare.orthe cause of quarretthit I have had with
Mr. O'Connell's father ?—Mr. °Town's friend lam
perfectly. I have now done; if you have any commands
to make co Mr. Maurice O'Connell, his friend will be at
home, at No. 3, Park-strcet, all the day to receive it.
Nu communication whatever came from Mr. Leyne."
