has promised to tranfcribe them. I have given him a lift in writing. I have been half guilty of affectation. I have asked for fome particulars that Sir Charles referred to, which are not fo immediately interesting: The hiftory of Olivia, of Mrs. Beaumont; the debates Sir Charles mentioned between himself and Signor Jeronymo: But, Lucy, the particulars I am most impatient for are thefe : His first conference with Lady Clementina on the fubject of the Count of Belvedere, which her father and mother overheard.

The conference he was defired to hold with her, on her being first seized with melancholy.

Whether her-particularly chearful behaviour, on his departure from Bologna, is anywhere account-ed for.

By what means Mrs Beaumont prevailed on her to acknowledge a paffion fo ftudiously concealed. from the tenderest of parents.

Sir Charles's reception on his return from Vi-

enna.

What regard his propofals of compromife, as to religion and refidence, met with, as well from the family as from Clementina.

The most important of all, Lucy-The last dif tressful parting: What made it neceffary; what happened at Bologna afterwards, and what the poor Clementina's fituation now is.

If the doctor is explicit with regard to this ar-ticle, we shall be able to account for their defiring. him to revifit them at Bologna, after fo long an abfence, and for his feeming to think it will be to no purpofe to oblige them. O Lucy! what a great deal depends upon the answer to this article, as it may happen!-But no more fufpenfe, I befeech you, Sir Charles Grandifon! No more fufpenfe,, I pray you, Dr Bartlett! My heart fickens at the: thought of further fufpenfe. I cannot bear it!

Adieu,,

Adieu, Lucy! Lengthening my letter would be only dwelling longer (for I know not how to change my fubject) on weakneffes and follies that have already given you too much pain for

Your HARRIET BYRON.
