| The true character of the p, in, ipal OF hon
our" which prevails among GueIlists, and is
thought by them to be Of sue indispe, b e i'm.
por:anee to the proper rrgulaiion Of the affAi'
Of civilized society, was W II exhibited IN the
late controversy between he Duke Of WrllIng>
ton, and the Earl Of Wlnchesea. The Earl, i,
seems, had written some hing which Tn. Duke
considered as areproach to his character, & hs
SEN 10 him for an explanation. This The Earl
refused to give; and after proper course of
correspondence between the noble parties, a
challnge was given by he Duke, and acc pied
by the Earl. This, Of couase led 10 Ga M, citing"
where, after suitable preliminary adjustments
his grace fired and wounded his Lo dship' S
coat, and is LordshiP discharged his prsIoI in
the air. AT i"is stage Of he comhal, The Earl
produced a written declaration Of what he did
Or did moi mean, which was entirely satsiac 70
nv to the Duke and his friends, and so the mat
t.r Was I'd ju>red.
] would seem that the explanation, had it
been made a FIRST, would have been re, erved as
ficrnt, and prevented the necessity OF any
fnrlher proceedings. But the Earl stated on
The ground, that he could no, make it at that
'inle and therefore Withheld it, But now,
when he had pistol sho hole through hi coat
h WIS at once d:sembarrassed of all his former
Difficulties, and fully prepared to make he re
qui>ite acknowledge meet. Indeed il would seem
tina he foresaw the reaui! OF the rene ounter; for
he went on the ground >si'h the written expla
nation which he made use Of, and which was
considered SO ple,eIy satisfactory, in his
pocket. He must, therefore have foreseen that
the Duke would shoot through the skirt Of his
coat, aud that he, not being hurt, would have
the opportunity TO fire his own pistol in the air,
and then every hing would be prepared for an
honorable explanalion;-an thus the matter
would end.
Now, may it not be asked, if The principal,
whether il be Of honour or dlshonour, that
leads grea, men through such ridiculous pro-
cess as this, is not, IN itself, both absorb and
ridiculous? If Lord Win, he'sea had express, d
himself towards the Duke of Wellington, in
language that admitted of such a construction
as 10 detract fom his Grace's integrity, and
reputation, what point Of honor could prevent
him, upon discovering the fact, from acknowl-
edging 1t previously 10 the shoe lug ma CHI, ary
more than after il? Before any other tribunal
than that which goes by the name Of the court
oil honour, and in the opinion Of all persons Of
sense, i, must be Acknowledged there Can be nc
such poin, OF honour. What would have been
the condition of the parties If the noble Duks,
instead OF Pumping the Earl's coat, had pu,
ball through his heart! No ,xplana'i.n could,
In that case, have been maze, but Lord Wrn-
chelsea would have lost hislife in a most iidl-
