received the following note from Mr.. kcan
on Wednesday.
SIR-As find il impossible for individual
efforts to stem the torrent of opposition with
which have 10 contend, s. as likewise con-
slider ii inconsistent with my feelings and
character to- make additional apologies,
have resolved to return tn INV native country,
and beg leave to offer 20 the public my thanks
for that portion of favour bestowed upon

offence which has excited so much indigna-
ton, certainly should not have permitted
my feelings To interfere with my interest
The very head and front of my offend

and patronised by his native country, and
enjoying high rank III the drama, withheld
his services under the impression that thew
were not duly appreciated and so much do

of reputation pursued under the same cir

speare was born, and Garricll had acted
Again, disclain1 any intention of Offend
