CCONNEL AND Mr. LESLIE FOSTER..

A C gresponence has been published in the Dublin
parrs. tinder the title of " Mr. LESLIE FOSTER and
4r.cceNsEL." It appears from r, that Mr. HARD.
ho, a friend of Mr. FOSTER, had waited on Mr.
i'CcNNEL, to state to him that Mr. Fosrett having
the report of a Speech, purporting to have been
,lored by Mr. OSCONNEL the preceding day, at
to Catholic Board ; and considering some observa-
ten connected with Mr. FoSTER'S name to require
coja.aion, he (Mr. F.) resuired either a disavowal
nd;e observations, if he had not made them,. or a
drlarati:.n that trey had reference to him only, as
viitlic man, and w re not intended to convey any
rT,,.,,t1 disrespect to Mr. FosTurt."
NIL O'CONNEL, at this interview, declined giving ,
,T aster to eit!pr proposal ; but afterwards sent
DENNET, as his friend, to comer with Mr. liAttu-
:;„,% en the subject. A correspondence ensued be-
-v.rt these Gentlemen, the result of which was, that
qr. :.;ENNET, " in order to prevent the fatal conse.
s which may result from the misapprehension
.212.1%1a Mr. LESLIE FOSTER labours, and the
01 blood in what '-7r. BENNET considers a
,rrel, expresse I himself willing to
sr,it.: O".:;)NNEL'S right in this instance (to refuse
,a, ct an unauthorised publication), so far
as 1,, sty, that whatever was said by mr. O'CoNtaEt.
%pc: t;:e :..;:c..v,iots alluded to, was intended to refer
to 1 :Llt Fn37l::lt as a public character only."
:1.. therFupral cleaned himself " satis-
f,tf that the affair should litre terminate."
