On Tuesday the Bth inflant, a duel was fought in Richmond, Virginia, between captain Meriwether Jones, and James Rind, Esq. We have not learnt the particulars of this affair, except that the latter gentle man received a wound in the body ; but we are happy to hear it it not likely to prove mortal. [Fir.

It is highly probable that the very formi dable force embodied under the command of the Chouan chiefs (to whom tour Englilh frigates lately dispatched for that purpose, fuccefsfully debased ample fupphesof arms ammunition and money) was the principal inducement of overtures towards an accom modation on the part of the French Coaful, and also of tAeir reje&ion by his Britannic Majesty : But to whatever cause the failure was owing, the people at Fiance must now perceive that the only means*of faviug them selves from the horrors of the antient def potiirn conlill in the mod vigorous reliftance. In the present urgency of their situation union ameng themselves seems essential to the attainment of liberty, and the right of felf-govcrnment ; and although we afe not advocates for the " Rights of Man" to that unqualified and extravagant exteut which renders government a mefe nullity, and the social system nothing more than a farce, yet are we free to declare our wifties that this union may take, place. Jt is ridiculous in the extreme, and in fuking to common fetife, to pretefid to en tertain no defiie to prefcrrbe to' France any particular form of government; «4ien -si» • the vtry fame feritence, we discover that the particular form of government which France has eleStd, is made the oftenlible balls of obje&ion to the proposed peace, and the lerteration of the monarchy referred to, in terms oijini qua nun, too plain to be milun derftood. . It is adm tted that war cannot be more difattrousthah adangeious and illufirt peace; but we fee ftolhi; g in the French Con&iiu tion, wh ch can warrant the idea, that a peace made with the pieferit ruler of France would be of that nature. Under this im rrffi«n we hope that the rumour «f the Portlmouth being difpatchcd to our RiiniHers with counter orders is aitogahei unfounded. Confiiien cy in the government requires a renewal of pacific lnltruftiona. In all the changes and chances of the French revolution, America has recognized the right of the people of France to alter or abciiflt cxilting inlikuti ons and substitute others: In all these chan ges (lie has affidionfly fuught for pi ace, nd "« the obj.'6t is important at the present as at any prior period, we fee no jult cause or motive why it should be abandoned—While theiefore we fear no foreign power, it must be oar interest to cultivate the freadfhip of all NEW-YORK, April 16.
