princely fortune, mentioned, in the presence of
don Salvador. the great praise he had heard be-
slowed on donna Laura for her beauty and accom-
pshn,ents; adding, THAT he had heard her praised
in this manner by more gentlemen than one, who
hid e!ioycd the pleasure of being in her company ;
and that there must certainly be something very
extraordinary i'll woman who appeared to be so
universally admired.
This more than sufficient for the too irritable
and suspicious temper of don Salvador. lie I'M

some interview, unknown to him, between the duke
md her, in which she might have PLAYED off the
700 usual arts of woman, to become the sharcr of
his splendid fortune and elevated rank, in contempt
of his nferiority, which had nothing to plead
but sincere affection.
Donna Laura, at this charge, felt herself at first
strongl, moved with Indignation; but, soon rccov-
cring her usual vvacty and presence of mind, She
began TO rally her lover on his unreasonable suspi

itself was extremely trvolos) that they drew their
swords, and don Salvador was wounded in the arm
The duke was surprised at the captous DISPOSE

which he had never before observed in him and
his curiosit, excited to discover the cause
This he at length found was JEALOUSY, occ:sioncd
by the praises he had bestowed on donna Laura,

blood was seen 20 comnngle which was shed for th'
defence Of the common cause against the common

they triumphed together; and cord Of attachment
was then formed which faticr myself will never bc

DEAR SIR Il have received your favour, of

thc opinion you have oblgngly expressed of the LIST

that the statement, TO the occurrences between
you and com. Loring, in November, 1898, is fully
confirmed by recollections, and the documents
i'll your POSSESSION
As TO the particular considerations which induced
you To leave youyship for the purpose Of visiting the
Carnatic, it does not appear to To be essential,
that they should be stated--as yo2 visited her upon
respectable invitation from Com. Loring. l can
discern no inpropriefy i'll your having accepted the
invitation of Officer commanding snip belong
ing TO nation v Ith which we were at peace. You
could not, presume, have anticipated any other
than polite aud friendly reception from HIM. If,
instead Of inriting, com. Lorng had have ordered
you to leave your ship and repair OH board of his,
the character of the visit you made would, in my
opinion, have been essentially Different and it would
be easy task 20 offer adequate excuse for il.
IF, however, you still think IT necessary, if you
wish it, will with great pleasure state, in the End
volume Of tie Chronicle, the particular crcumstan-
of your visit, and the special considerations
which induced YOU TO make il.
Iii speaking OF the conduct OF those who have paid
the great debt 81 nature, cannot practise too
much caution, or observe too much delicacy. We
ssu!d feel if their spirits lowering over us,
ready 20 corfrm the truth OF our statements-or be
silent. II, however, IL taIDe memory as to events,
which, at their birth, made strong If not indc
liblc impression, but which, quarter of CEN
fury has rolled, can be trusted, confidently
state, that con-. TruXun mentioned you, in official
communications 10 the Secretary of the Navy both
before and after you We're under his command in
terms OF apprObatiom--and can with still more
confidence state, that in conversation with my
SELF the commodore expressed his regret at the
curIence between you and com. Loring, and at the
.ha
fit 10 adopt the occasion, in relation yourself
and his persuasion dat enlightened court of i'll
quiry, upon an investigation OF the facts, would
have exoncratcd you, and transferred the censure to
another; although have recollection of having

1896.
