LADY RYRON,S LETTER


The letter Of Lady Byron TO Nh. Moore says
the NewYort Commercial Advertise will be
read with avidiiy by every one. The immediate
cause OF her separation from her noble and
gifted husband, has been 50 carefully yelled in
myStery--so many dark surmises have been in
duged respecting it--so many tales OF scandal
circuated-thal every thing touching the un
happy Incident, is sr2ed upon with devouliHg
interest Even now the lady has noi disclosed
the my stpry but, having high ard chval-
rous feeling Of honor, she has stepped forth "a
viodicaiion OF ,hs memory Of her parents, I'D
raised the curtain, My so far ~ Wa demani ,
for that purpuse--she delIealey dropped 1t
apain when necessary to hide her private
g1ieftrom the public gaze. We think, how
ever that tho cause of her separation may now
be OWNED The deicacy OF the letter OF her
ladyshp is eQaaIIed only BY its dignity aud
proprirty.
