Bvsion’s defensive Letter, which We co
py without comment :
The l»ettfcc.
“ I have disregarded variiuis publications
in which far ts within toy own knowledge
have been grossly represented ; bat I am
called upon to no'icc some of the erroneous
■ tatements proceeding from one who claims
iu ho considered as Lord Byron’s confiden
ti;.! and authorised friend. Domestic de
tails ought not to be intruded on the public
attention ; if, however, they are so intrud
ed. the persons affected by them have a
right to refute injurious charges. Mr.l
Moore has promulgated his own impressions |
til private events in which I was most near
ly concerned, as if he possessed a compe
tent knowledge <d the subject. Having
survived Lord Byron, I feel increased re
luctance to advert to any circumstances!
connected with the period of my marriage j|
nor is it now my intention to disclose them,
turther than may be indispensably requisite
lor the end I have in view. Self-vindica
tion is not the motive which actuates me to
make this appeal, and the spirit of accusa
tion is unmingled with it; but when the!
conduct of my parents is brought forward j
in a disgtaceful light, by the passage se-i
lected from Lord Byron’s Letters, and by
the remarks of his biographer, I feel bound
to justify their characters from imputations
which 1 know to be false.
The passages from Lord Byron’s Letters
to width 1 refer, are the aspersion on my
motlrfra character, p. G4B, 1. 4:—' My
child is very well, and flourishing, I hear ;
biU 1 must sec also. I feel no disposition
to reaign it to tho contagion of its grand
mother's society. ’ The assertion of her
dishonorable conduct in employing a spy, p.
645, 1. 7, Btc. ‘ A Mrs. C. (now a kind
of house keeper and spy of Lady N's) who,
in her better days, was a washer woman,
is supposed to be—by the learned—very;
much the occult cause of our domestic dis
crepancies.’ The seeming exculpation of
myself, in the extract, p. G 46, with the
words immediately following it—‘ her near
est relatives arc a ;’where the blank
clearly implies something too offensive for
publication. These passages tend to throw
suspicion on my parents, and give reason to
ascribe the separation either to their direct
agency, or that of* officious spies’ employ
ed by them.*—From the following part of
the nairative, p. 642. it must also bo infer
red that an undue influence was exercised
by (hem for the accomplishment of this pur
pose. ‘lt was in a few weeks after the
latter communication between us (Lord By
ron and Mr. Moore) that Lady Byron a
dopted the determination of parting from
him. She had left London at the latter
end of January, on a visit to her lather’s
house, in Leicestershire, and Lord Byron
was in a short time to follow her. They
had parted in the utmost kindness—she
wrote him a letter full of playfulness and
affection, on the road ; and immediately on
her arrival at Ritkby Mallory, her father
wrote to acquaint Lord Byron that she
would return to him no more.’ In my oh
sefvations upon this statement I shall, as
far as possible, avoid touching on any mat
ters relating personally to Lord Byion and
myself. The facts arc : 1 left London for
Rirkby Mallory, (he residence of my fa
ther and mother, on the 15. h of January,
IBIG. Lord Byron had signified to me in
writing, (January 6;h) his absolute desire
that 1 should leave London on (he earliest
day that I could conveniently fix. It was
not safe lor me to undertake (lie fatigue of
aj'Urney sooner than the 15th. Previous
ly to my departure, it had been strongly im
pressed on my mind, (hat Lord By ran was
under the influence of insanity. This opin
ion was derived in a great measure from
the communications made to me by his near
est relatives and personal attendant, who
had more opportunities than myself of ob
serving him duiing the latter part of my
stay in town. It was even represented to
me that he was in danger of destroying him
self. With the concurrence of his family,
1 had consulted Dr. Baillic as a friend,
(January 8lh) respecting this supposed ma
lady. On acquainting him with the case,
and with Lord Byron’s desire that I should
leave Linden, Dr. Bdllic thought that my
absence might be advisable as an experi
ment, assuming the fact of mental derange
ment; for Dr, Baiilie, not having hud ac
cess to Lord Byron, could not pronounce a
positive opinion on that point. He enjoin
ed that in correspondence with Lord Byron,
I should avoid a'l but light and soothing to
pics. Under these impressions, I left Lon
don, determined to follow the advice given
by Dr. Baillie. Whatever might have been
the nature of L >rd Byron’s conduct to
wards ne from (he time of my marriage,
et, supposing him to be in a state of men
tal alienation, it was not for me, nor for any
person of common humanity, to manifest,
at that moment, a »cnse of injury. On the
day ut my departure, and again on my ar
rival at Rirkby, J anuary 16lh, I wrote to
Loral Byron in a kind and cheerful tone, ac
cording to those indica! directions. The
last letter was circulated, and employed as
a prelex for the charge of my having been
subsequently influenced to • desert’t my
husband. It has been argued, l?i;U 1 parted

" The deserted husband.” p 651.
from Lord Byron in perfect harmony ;
that feelings incompatible with any deep
sense of injury had dictated the letter'
which I addressed to him : and that myl
sentiments must have been changed by per
suasion and interference when I was under
the roof of my parents. These assertions
and inferences are wholly destitute of foun
dation. When I arrived at K.irkby Mallory,
my parents were unacquainted with the ex-j
istence of any causes likely to destroy my
prospecls of happiness; and when t com-'
municated to them the opinion which ltad|
been formed concerning Lord Byron’s state
of mind, they were most anxious to pro-1
mote his restoration by every means in their [
power. They assured those relations who
were with him in London, that * they would
devote their whole care and attention to the
| alleviation of his malady,’and hoped to
i make the best arrangements for his comfort,
if he could be induced to visit them. Wish
these intentions my mother wrote on (he
17th to Lord Byron, inviting him to Rirk
iby Mallory. She had always treated him
with an affectionate consideration and in
dulgence, which extended to every little pe
culiarily of his feelings. Never did an ir
ritating word escape her lips in her whole
intercourse with him. the accounts given
me after I left Lord Byron, by the persons
in constant intercourse with him, added to,
I those doubts which had before transciently!
occurred to my mind, as to the reality of!
the alledged disease, and the reports ut
medical attendant were far from establish-|
,mg the existence of any thing like lunacy.,
jUnder this uncertainty, I deemed it right!
Ito cummunioiale to my patents, that it I 1
> were to consider Lord Byron’s past con-j
duct as that of a person of sound mind, no
!thing could induce roe to return to him. It
, therefore appeared expedient both to them'
i and mysell to consult the ablest advisers.!
For that object, and also to obtain still fur
ther information respecting the appearances
,'which seemed to indicate mental derange-;
liinent, my mother determined to go to Lon-1
, don. She was empowered by me to take)
,ilegal opinions on a written statement of
I mine, though I lud then reasons for reserv
ing a part of the case from the knowledge
I.even of my father and mother. Being con
:|Vincedby the result of those inquiries, andj
-by the tenor of Loid Byron’s proceedings,
'that the notion ot insanity was an illusion,
r I no longer hesitated to authorize such
as were necessary, in order to se
ll cure me from being ever again placed iu his
II power. Conformably with this resolution,
-liny father wrote to him on the 2d of Febru
ary, to propose an amicable separation.
-iLord Byron at first iejected this proposal ;
J but when it vv.is distinctly notified to him,
-Jthat if he persisted iu his refusal, recourse
i.most be had to legal measures, he agreed
-to sign a deed of separation. Upon apply
ing to Dr. Lushington, who was intimately
t!acquainted with all the circumstances, to
r ( stale in writing what he recollected upon
) this subject, I received from him the fol
lowing letter, by which it will be manifest
j (hat my mother cannot have, been actuated
■ by any hostile or ungenerous motive to
-I;wards Lord Byron :
ij "My deai Lady Byron-—I can rely up
r on tiro accuracy of rny memory for the fol
b' lowing statement: I was originally consult
ed by Lady Noel on your behalf, whilst you
s were in the country ; the circumstances de
- tailed by her were such as justified a sepa
-1 ration, but they were not of that aggravated
r desciiption as to render such a measure in-:
- dispensable. On Lady Noel’s representa-)
, tittn, I deemed a reconciliation with Lord
t Byron practicable, and felt most sincerely a
? wish to aid in affecting it. There was not
t on L idy Noel's part any exaggeration of the
* facts; nor, so far as 1 could perceive, any
f determination to prevent a return to Lord
Byron; certainly none wasexpreosed when
-, I spoke of a reconciliation. When you came
j to town in about a fortnight, or perhaps
- more, after my first interview with Lady
i Noel, 1 was for the first time informed by
-iyou of facts utterly unknown, as I have no
) doubt, to Sir Ralph and Lady Noel. On
■ receiving this additional infui mation iny
7 opinion was entirely changed: 1 declared
i my opinion, ami added, that if such an idea
should be entertained, 1 would not, either
, professionally or otherwise, take any part
, towards effecting it. Believe me, very faith
- fully yours.

d tied his intention of subjoining these Itemarks
of Lady Byron to the new edition of his
work.
To this—we subjoin a Letter from the
Poet Campbell to Mr. Moure—which wilf
perhaps explain to the intelligent reader
much of the mystery of the foregoing Epis
tle
To Tlios. Moore, Esq..
My dear Moore —A thousand thanks to 1
you lor the kind diing* which you have said
of me in yonr ‘Lute of Lord Byron’—but
[forgive me l.ir adverting to what his Lord
[ship says, at pqgc 463 of your first volume.
It is not every day that one is mentioned in
|sucli joint pages as those of Moore and By-’
iron.
) Lord Byron there states that, one eve-j
ning, at Lord Holland’s, f was nettled at
j something, and the whole passage, it be
lieved, leaves it to he inferred trial I was
angry, envious and ill mannered. Now 1
never envied Lord Byron, but on the con
trary rejoiced in his lame; in the first place
from a sense, of justice, and in the next place
because, as a, poetical critic, he was my ,
beneficent friend, i never was nettled in
Lord Holland’s house, as noth Lord Lady 1
Holland can witness and on the evening to
which Lord Byron alludes, i add, ‘ carry
all your incense to Lord Byron'in the most
perfect spirit ol good humour. 1 remember
’the evening most distinctly, one ol die hap
piest evenings oLmy life, and if Lord Byrou
imagined me lor a moment displeased, it
lonly shews me that, with all Ins transcen
jdant powers, he was one of the most lunci
jlul of human beings. I by no means im
peach his veracity, but I see from this case
that he was subject to s'range illusions.
What feeling but that ol kindness could I
have towards Lord Byron ? He was always
affectionate towards me, both in his writing
and in his personal interviews. How strange
that he should mi-under stand my manner on
| the occasion alluded to, and what lempta-
Ition could I have to shew myself pettish and
'envious before my inestimable ftieiid Lord
Holland. The whale scene, as described by j
I Lord Byron, is a phantom of his own imagi
l nation. Ah, my dear Moore, if we had him
ibaclk again how easily could vve settle these
matters. But I have detained you too long,
and begging pardon for alt my egotism,
1 remain, my dear Moore, your obliged
and faithful servant,

We published yesterday a letter from an'
’'intelligent gentleman in Caracas, which,
' confirms the opinion that the breach be-'
; tween Venezuela and the rest of the tern
’itory which the ambition of the Liberator’
• has been grasping at. is irreparable. There
can be no doubt from the complexion of the!
most authentic advice, that Bolivar has lost,
his popularity altogetLr. He may appeal,
as usual to the sword,but there is good rea-l
son to doubt whether ’lns weapon will avail,
9 him at present. j
s The proclamation pt Gen. Pacz which’
we find in the Gace'.a de Gobierno, is too
e sincere in its terms to allow us to entertain
any longer the impression u.ai he is ready
'to collude with Bolivar as he is charged,
i with having done on former occasions'. At-,
ter pledging himself, in this proclamation,,
{to the Venezuelians, to discharge his duty;
with fidelity, he says : “ Should an invader
by misfortune obtain a victory over you, re
member what I now say, that he shall not
enjoy the limits ol his fatal triumph without
passing over my dead body. For lam re
solved not so survive ignominy. Venezue
lians ! I must inform you with frankness
of the state of our political existence, it is j
jin danger if you do not prove stronger than;
intrigue, calumny, and the power of arabi-j
jtion. The Convention assembled at Bogo
ta by order of General Bolivar, treating our i
wishes with contempt, has declared the!
fundamental law of union indestructible,]
charging the same General Bolivar to pre-i
serve die integrity of the Territory. He|
has voluntarily accepted the odious mission:,
after having resigned the supreme command,
is marching with an army to subdue the in-j
doubtable spirit of Venezuela. He draws
his sword directly against the bosom <d the
mother who gave him being, and pretends
to conceal the venom of revenge which is
rankling in his besom under the vie! of obe
dience and submission to the national will.
He v/ill employ cunning to surprise and se
duce you. Should they be inefficacious he
will, more uselessly, employ force. And"
who can censure us for defending ourselves ?
The aggressors will exterminate to estab

The civilized world will stamp upon his:
forehead the crime of shedding the blood,
which is to flow, and acknowledge the jus-j
ticc of oor firmncsif and even of our fury!

to avoid discord, if they do not wish tube-!

Intelligence was received at-an early hour
jthis morning, that the boiler of the Steam

(friends on board. ITT appears that the ex
jpjosion took place while the boat was o-etting
.under way from the dock at Newbu.gh, and,
| n (act, bn a moment after letting off the
a tea in. u was just in the edge of twilight,
land the passengers b«d but a short time
,previously left the tea-table in the dinimr
■ Cabin- This was most providential; for, at
the force of the explooion was in thatdireo
tion, had the passengers remained in the
cabin, there would have been an immense
destruction of life. It is believed that seven
teen persons were more or ,le,ss injured
seven or eight very seriously, and some of
them mortally.| But such was too confusion
■ and alarm—such a sashing on shore, and
themselves overboard in the flight and agony
of the moment—that it is impossible tomre
dict with accuracy the extent of the injury
or the loss of life. It is believed that hut
few of the passengers were badly scalded.
One, who was lying to his birth at the time,
was struck by a dash of boiling water and
terribly scald jd. He was supposed to be in
the last agonies of death, when our informer
left. Another passenger, a Mr. Burnett,
was very severely scalded; and a ship car
penter of this city,, nance not recollected,
wan not expected to survive until morning,
i The engineer, Mr. Volant, and five of the
[crew, were badly scalded, and four slightly.
It wa> believed that several others would
no; live.—The .steam boat l)e Wilt Clinton,
[Capt. Sherman, came along about 11 o’clock
jat night, and took many of the passengers
|oi the Marshall on board—but their state
men s are so confused and conflicting that
we can only reduce them to a general ac
count, making it as consistent as possible.
One gendeman informed us, that a lady was
drowned—and two or three otheis slightly
scalded. Another doubts the, accuracy of
this statement. Some represent many pas
sengers to have jumped over board, from the
deck, or by dashing out tiirough the win
plows. Tut one ot the passengers assures us
I that only two threw themselves into the wa
iter, ami these were s.. near, the dock that
ithey were saved He says it was yet so
.light that ail who jumped overboard were
seen, One lady jumped through the aftet*
.cabin window, and according to one state
ment, one or two sprang overboard frond the
|b..w, lliese were picked up safely. One
lady in dashing out a window, to let in the
.coo. air, had her hands severely cut by the 1
glass. J
j The Marshall had 173 passengers when
site left Albany. When she touched at.Nev/-
hiiig she had about 90 on b .ard, and 30 more
1 came on board there. One of these wag jr»

(office, at the in. meat of the explosion, Jl*
(heard the report, and the sharp whizzing
rush of the steam, and only had a confused
■reminiscence afterwards of finding himself
[scrambling for safety in the wild dis-rder
