SUICIDE.—On Saturday evening the report of a Distol was heard in Newington-fields, and early on Sunday morning the body of a decently-dressed man, with part of his head blown off, was discover-Id- The body was removed to the nearest house ; and on examining it, the words Cornelius Wynn, Denbigh, were found written on his shirt. From I,"is trace the body was owned by 'the brother of Inc deceased on Sunday evening. He was originally the master of a respectable seminary, but in consequence of temporary derangement, his school deItned, and the deceased had since lived in the hum tt' his brother, a tradesman, in Phoenix street.  I R.  TO THE EARL CAMDEk, &C. &C. &C.  Cloucier-Locig,e; Nov. 14, 1804.  M LO'4D,—I had written to your LOrdsliip immediately 'atter the .publication of your Lordship's 'Statement, but,l delayed sending my letter, in the hope of being able previonsly to submit it to the perusal of the Duke of Portland'. In this hope I hive been disappointed by. that fatal event, .which has deprived this country of one of its most upright and disinterested patriots ; the King, of one of his most faithful, devoted, and, affe6ionate inbje6ts ; and the world one of the most blameless and most. noble-minded of men.  Thus situated. I have thought it fight to revise what I had written, and scrupulously to expunge, every reference to the authority of the Duke of Portland, ,which would now stand upon my sole testimony; retaining such only as ale supported, either by wrilien documents which I slaall be happy to Communicant toyour Lordship, .or by facts which are.well known toyourLordship or to your colleagues, and in which for the most part your Lordship is' yourself concerned. Neither, however, can I content myself with this precaution ; but Must protest, at the same time, in the most earnest manner, against any possible misconstruction, by which any thing iu,the following Letter can be strained to a meaning unfavourable to the motives which actuated the 'Duke of Portland's conduCl. •  It is impossible, indeed; not to regret the policy, however wed intentioned,- which dktated the reserve pradised roirards Lord Castlereagh in the beginning of thisiransattion i,or that practised towards myself in its conchision. It is to be regretted, that the Duke of Portland should have imposed; and that your Lordship should have accepted the condition of silence, _in the first Communications 'between yOu. _ .  It is also to be regretted,' that I should not have learnt in July, that your Lordship Wii fit not party to the assurances then given ti me on behalf of Lord CaStlereagh'S friends in general ;—and that anqther Ni,ernbcr of the Cabinet, -comprehended in that description, had, (as I have since heard), retukd to concur in them.  Had I been made acquainted with these circumstances, I should then have resigned ; and my resignation IA ould, at that time, -have taken pl'ace irittiout inconvenience or -embarrassment ; and without stirring those questions (no w-,14 connected with the causes of my retirement) or-buujeding me to those misinterpretations of my_ conduct and motives, which have been produced by ,the .coinei&nee of my resignation with that .of .•the.Duke of Portland. • '  But, 'however this reserve maybe to be regretted; it is impossible to attribute the adOption of it, on the_ part of the Duke of Portland,. to ,any other motives, than to that ‘gentleness of nature which eminently distinguished' him ; and which led him to endeavour (above all things) to.prevent political differences from growing into personal dissensions; and to. aim at executing whatever arrangement might beexpedient for improving or strengthening the Ad-. minsiration, with the concurrence (if possible) of all its existing Members. And no man who knows the affectionate respoia and attachment, which the manly and generous qualities of the Dake of Portland's mind were calculated to command, and which 1 invariably bore to him, will suspeet me of being willing to establish my own vinvication; at the , expellee of the slightest disrespe& to his memory, or prejudice to big fame. I have the honour to be, My Lord, your Lordship's Most obedient humble servant,
