Duel.—A duel was fought yesterday, in the neighbourhood of London, which has been ex pected for some days, and which it was almost publicly known, on Wednesday; would take place on the eniuing Morning# The parties were JVL Charles Lametfl and a friend of the ci-devant Duke de Brie ; the latter of whom was attended by the Duke de P.enne. From the inveteracy of their quar rel it was feared that neither could leave the field alive; and as they fought with fw'ords, this miserable probability was much mcreafed. The event, however 1 , was, th.tt 11. Charles Laineth fell by a wound through the body, which, it is hoped, will not be mortal. M. Laraeth, a member of the late Confti tueut Alfembly of France, once fought the Duke de Brie ; and this duel is supposed to have been occafioued by the fame difpnte. Nov. 17. The inhabitants of Madras, in a full meeting, have voted an address of con gratulation to Marquis Cornwallis, upon the success of his arms; and have directed that a committee ihall request of the Royal Academy of Great-Britain, to point out an artilt by •whom the statue purpo/ed to be erected in ho nor of that nobleman, shall be executed. An address is also to be presented to General Meadows, whose portrait will be placed in their town* hall. The- port of Nice, when taken by the French,contained joogalley slaves. Ofthefe the deserters and Cmugglers were liberated. The .King will pay some of the debts of the ' Prince of Wales out of his own purse. The Prince intends to relinquish his eUabli!hment atCarleton House till his debts are difcliarged. The latest French papers thus describe the fitnation of the late Royal Family ■ —Madame Elizabeth, Marie Antoniette and her daughter have taken poffefiion of their new apartment on the third story of the Great Tower. This apartment is compofcd ol four rooms, hand foinely lilted up,two of them with fire-places. The son of Louis Caput sleeps in the chamber of hii father. On "a clock in the chamber of Louis was inferibed, '' Le Pautre, Clock maker to the King," the word King is defac ed, and Republic put in its stead. All the family come down at guard-mounting, and walk in the garden. Tippoo Sukap has made good all his engagements, and every profpeft remained of a permanent tranquili ty in India. The Jacobin Society at Chartres has declai'ed its feperation from that at Paris, until the latter (hall have expunged from their books the names of Marat, Robertfpierre, and Danton. Roberifpierre has been received *vith great eclat by the Jacobins, iince his acquittal in the National Convention. A gentleman in this city has fa vored us with the followir.g article of intelligence, which he received by the last post from very high au thority, the truth of which may be relied upon : " Dumourier, in the late a&ion near Mons, had 80,000 men. The Auftrians had only 18,000. The French loft more than 10,000 in the atftion, and the Auftrians retreated in great order and regularity. The last advices from the Rhine (late, that Cuftine's army was on the point of being intercepted and cut off, from having advanced with so much rapidity in the German territories." Duchess of Biron.—This accom plished and charming woman, who inherited from various relatives the largest property in France, and whose escape was almost miraculous from a furious banditti who menac ed her life, is again returned to her native country. The various inci dents of her life would make an in teresting volume. If (he be asked why she returns, in defiance of the various perils (be mult unavoidably encounter, we are sorry ro relate, that (he was entirely destitute in this country both of money and clothes ; (he now flies to her aged mother for comfort and fuflenance. She has lived in separation from the General, her hulband, without the imputation of a fault, from the firft month of their marriage. The controversy between the al lied powets & the people of France, is (till the leading topic of political disquisition. The events which have occurred in the course of the contest, awaken the curiosity, com mand the attention, and suspend the judgment of the public. The excelles committed by one party have checked the admiration of their warmest supporters ; princi ples avowed by the other must rouse the resentment of their firmed ad herents. Though the treachery of their court, the perfidy of their minifteis, and the threats of their enemies, may palliate the enormi ties of our Gallic neighbours, yet indiscriminate vengeance cannot be juftified by partial inifcondudt, nor the freedom.of a nation founded on the cruelty ofiudividuals. Nor can the desire of reitoriug a throne to its pristine grandeur and a nobility to their ancient privileges, excuse an attack upon an independent (late, and the fubverlion of a con stitution received by a whole peo ple. It must be our present lot to deplore the ravages of boundless li centiousness and relentless despot ism. Our opinions must be formed upon the accidents of the fleeting hour ; and the slightest circumstan ces may overturn the thepries which delighted our imaginations. The French Republic, like that of the Romans, seems desirous of extending its influence and autho rity over the world, by adopting itates and principalities into the no ble condition of friends and allies to theircommonwealih. Theyfeem also to imitate the Romans in wifli ing to retain the supreme power in those cities to whom they impart that privilege. Differences, dis putes and recriminations take place among the French Generals; but that is no more than might be ex perted in a nascent State, especially in a nascent republic ; but above all, in a wafcent French republic. At Naples, the people aflembled, on the 30th September, under the windows of the King's palace, and required that the price of bread should be lowered. The Council have accordingly exempted corn from the duties formerly paid upon it to the King upon information. There is a difference between the French and American Revolution. In America no barbarities were per petrated— no mens' heads were ft uck upon poles—no ladies bodies man gled, were carried thro' the streets in triumph—their prisoners guard ed and ironed, were not maflacred it) cold blood. The Americans did not, at difcretioh, harrafs, murder, or plunder the Clergy—nor roast their Generals, unjustly, alive.— They set limits to their vices, at which their pursuits rested. Antl whatever blood was (hed, flowed gallantly in the field. The Ameri can Revolution, it ought to be re peated, was not accoihplilhed as the French has been, by maflacres, aflaf linations, or proscriptions ; battles, severe and honorable, were fought, and the chance of war left to de-. cide.

" The Duke Regent continues daily, by a thou fund good orders, institutions and regulations, to gain the love of the nation, and evince his desire to rellore bis native coun try to her former prosperity. He Teems, in many instances, to follow principles diametrically oppoiite to those of the late King." Philadelphia, Jan. 16. The Legislature of New-Hamp- Ihire have subscribed for the State, twenty-five lhares in the Bank of that State. By the debates in the National Convention of France, it' appears that Roberfpierre and Marat, two members of that Aflembly, are de nounced as the principal authars of the maflacres in Paris of September last. M. St. Just, in his speech on the trial of Louis XVI. tnad.e in the -263- National Convention, fays—" Louis XVI. oDgUc to be tried, not only for. alf the crimes which he has com mitted—not only for having been dete<Sed in a flagrant a<ft with his hands inblood—but for this alone, that he was King." S. Livingflon, in an address to the individual elecTtors of New- York, fays— " If the services 1 have rendered the mechanics, by effecting their incorporation—lf, as their repre- Tentative, I have filled with reputa tion the (tation in which they placed me—lf the services I have rendered my country are equal to thole of my competitor—lf, When weighed in the scale of science, I should at least be found equal to him—and if a firm and steady attachment to their in terest entitle me to a preference in their esteem, I alk it with confidence, and will remember it with grati tude." The Mechanic Society, in their remarks on the above, observe— " The Mechanic Society have ne ver been the supporters of William S. Livingfton, on any occasion ; be cause, they always thought hini an improper person to merit their fuf frages : the Mechanic Society know not of William S. Livingfton's being the instrument of obtaining their incorporation : The Mechanic So ciety don't know William S. Living fton, as their representative ; nei ther have they ever been the agents in placing him in his present situa tion, or any other.."
