HORRIBLE PARTY DUELLING in PARIS.
“ Jc voub Vavouc, toul coin. joint a mon a-
version naturollo pour la cruaute, m’inspire
une tello liorrcur ties Duels, quo jo les regarde
commo lo dernier degro do brutalito ou les
hornmos puissent parvenir.”—Jean Jaques
Rousseau.
To the Editor of thu Morninu' ChronWe,
Paris, Feb. ‘3,1833.
Sir—I am about to cull your attention lo
a grave subject—to a subject which makes
tho blood run cold—which excites the pas
sions, sensibilities, and strongest feelings and
emotions of nil hourts nt tlio moment 1 am
writing, which i« a mlniaturo civil war, knife
to knife, bludgeon to bludgeon, sword to
sword ; and which is, iir one word, nothing
lens than tho savoring asunder the ties of hu
man Bocicty by party—yes, political party
duelling en nut sun in the city most celebrated
for civilization and freedom on tho continent
of Kuropo.
Rousseau 1ms said, “ Gardez voub done de
confondrc lo norn sucre do I'honnour avec co
prejugc leroco qui met toutes leu vertuu a la
pointo tl’uno epoo 1”
Rousseau was right 1 Rut lm said more
than this ; ho added that which I havo prefix
ed as a motto lo my letter, "that ho held in
such horror all duels, that ho considered them
uo indicative of tho last degree of brutality to
which men could sink.” The poltroon—tho
coward would pass for a brave mun, and he
Musters about a duel :~
“ Ma vers co valor, lion chencgljollo
E Ui to sIcbio a iu fruggio ussui ciiiaro."
To add one word to the protest of Rousseau
against duelling, would do next to impious.
Road Id's letter on tlio subject to his frinnd,
and you will ri60 from its perusal refreshed,
invigorated, and encouraged to opposo a sys*
torn repugnant to the trim principles of mo
rality, patriotism and religion.
"Ilo who feigns to regard death without
fear is a liar 1 Every man fears to die. It
js the law of sensible beings, without which,
all that is mortal would soon he* destroyed.”
I havo commenced my letter by a Protest
aoainst Duelling, hccauso we are bound
to inculcate right principles—to take high
ground when wo attempt to instruct others ;
and hccauso it is our duty not to condescend
to other people's meannesses—but to raiso
others to our elevation. I protest, then, in
tho nnmo of liberty, of civilization, of know
ledge, of morality, and of truth, against all
duelling; and if, in tho subsequent part of
my letter, I shall at any time appear to lean
eitlior to the men or the system, lot your roa-
ders remember that it is onlv apparently so,
and that if carried away by the subject which
to-day absorbs all altontion, and causes all
honorable honrts to weep and mourn, 1 shall
eulogize tho manly cotirago and the noble
daring of tho Republican Party iu Franco, it
will always bo with the rcsorve, that l con-
dornn from my hoart and soul the deplorable
system of political party duelling, which has
been within the last few days adopted at Pa
ris ; and now for the facts of this lamentable
and unheard-of aystoin*.
Sineo the Revolution of July, 1830, has
been sold and disgraced by tho Juste milieu,
tho logitimiBtB in Franco have been gradually
becoming more bold—more audacious—more
inveterate—nioro personal—and more resol
ved to endeavor to bring about with rapidity
the restoration of tho eldest branch of tlio
House of Bourbon. Encouraged by tho court
puid to the Royalists by tlio Government—
encouraged by tlio declarations of tlio Doc-
trinnaires in tho Chamber of Peers, that all
which belonged to tho Revolution was obnox
ious to its system—encouraged by tho daily
prophesies of the Gazette de France,that tho
restoration was inevitable—encouraged by
tho Speech of M. Roy In tho Chamber of
Peers, in favor of the financial system of tlio
restoration—encouraged by the oration of
the Duke of Broglie, who declared, that in
order lo conduct tho Duchess of Berry to tin
Luxembourg, 1» would be necessary “ to call
out 80,000 troops, ns hundreds of thousands
of tho enemies of tlio government would a-
riso from all parts of Franco to rescue and de
fend her”—encouraged by tlio retrograde
march of tho Government, which lias impris
oned, attacked, und persecuted tho heroes of
July in every form, and by overy possible
manner—encouraged by tho events of June
last, when the Republicans wnro shot in cool
blood by tho National Guards of the Juste-
JVIiliou in tho strceli of Paris—en con.'a (rod
by tho retention in pluco and office of Carlist
Ministers, Carlist Functionaries, Carlist Sec
retaries, and Carlist Judges—encouraged by
tho foreign and domestic policy of Govern
ment, which is evidently and almost avowed
ly marching towards a Restoration—the Leg
itimists iu Franco have at length shown them
selves openly, and those who in 1939 wore
not to be found, high or low, so carefully
were they secreted in the collars or in the
garrets; are now parading in tho streets of
the capital, assembling in private and in pub
lic, rendering homage to tho chiefs of thoir
own party, because they havo attacked tho
Revolutioir and its agents, and have finally
darod to tako up the cause of the Duchess of
Boiryasa personal oflair—and havo called
\o accounuhose independent Journalists who
liavo either attacked the Bourbons en masse,
or who have singled her out from the rest of
her family. Of the Duchess or Berry and her
cause I havo of late written to you so dis
tinctly, thut it is unnecessary for me to add
more chan two words—she belongs to a hat-
ed and abhorred race of Kings and Princes—
and between her and the Republicans there
is a fearful gulpli—a terrible abyss: and ’
c unsel her not to approach it.
Well, then, thus encouraged to insolence,
a d to confidence, the Cnrlists in Paris, at
Rouen, and at Lyons, have recently inform
ed somo of tho editors of tho patriotic journ
als published in theso cities that if they
should dare to publish any articles reflecting
oil (lie Duchess of Berry, or on her family,
they, tho Carhsts, should demand personal
satisfaction—should treat all who attacked i
hnr as their own personal oneinies—and
should rcmiitc them to give that satisfaction
which in Franco was never refused by tnon of
honour to mon of honour, for personal in
sults 1 1 shall have noither time nor space to
occupy you with the results ofthisIdRcislon
at Rouen, and nt Lyons, but I mu<*t confine
myself to Paris, the Capital of Europe, and
now the Capital of Parly Political Duellists,
At Paris a little low Journal, an obscure pa
per, callod " IjO Rovenant,” bearing as a fron-
tispiece tho form of tho son of tho Duchess
of Berry, with tho device, M Fear not, it is a
friend !” (what'insolor.co !) a paper having a
few hundred subscribers, conducted by some
Ex-Courtiers, Ex-Koyul Guards, Ex-Liter-
all and Ex-Pensioners of Charles X. and his
coterio; I Bay this paper has taken upon it
self to declaro that it in tho organ of the Roy
alists—the defender of the Duchess of Berry
—the avengi r of all insults offered to the
Bourbons, and tlio political knight-errant of
tho dethroned dynasty l One M. Albert Do
Calvimorct has made himself conspicuous—
another, M. Menard Do Rochecavo, is the
Gorant of tho Journal, and has not been less
so—and, aB a third, n M. La Borio, Jun., hus
now attained a very fearful celebrity, by a du
el to which I shall presently refer.
Tho Henriquinquislcs residing in Paris,
and who are connected with the Journal Lo
llavennnt, commenced Homo ten days since,
by demanding satisfaction of the editor ofthe
Corsniro, for an article which appeared in
that Journal. Calvimorct, as the KoyulLt,
and the principal editor of tho Corsairc, ns
the Patriot, met on tho field of battle. Tho
latter was wounded, and is still a prisoner in
his chamber. Emholduncd by this success,
tlio Carlists and Henriquinquislcs declared,
that if any one Bliould dare to assort any thing
uguinst the honor character, virtue, &c. of
their Dulciuca del Toboso—the Dutches of
Berry—that they, tho chnrnpious of the cause
—the Don Quixotes and Sanclio Panzns of
18533—would require personal satisfaction—
or would, without hesitation, insult and at
tack in public and in private, all who should
refuse to give them tho rendezvous they
should propose. Unilitirnidatcd by such
throats, the National, which; is edited by the
ablest political writer in Europe—I mono Ar-
man j Carrel—continued with tlio Tribune to
express, without reserve, their opinions—to
examine into tho question of tlio Duchess of
Berry, and her reported state of health, with
out. paying any attention to tlio “ Revonant,"
or the Don Quixotes of the Rue 1'Echellc—
and thus dared, as they were bound to do, the
enemies of the Revolution to curry into effect
their insolent and audacious threats. Tlio
Carlists and llenriquinquistos having woun
ded tlio Editor of tho Corsniro, next deman
ded satisfaction qf the National. It was re*
fused them ! This was right—this was wise
—this was honorable—this was patriotic !—
If ihat resolution had boon adhered to, human
life would havo been maintained, and noble,
generous hearted Republicans would not have
risked their lives before tho daggers of cold-
hoartod Royalists. The National protested
against such an insolunt attempt to controul
the liberty of the Press, and tiuw to get rid
ofthe principal benefit proposed to bo attain
ed by tho Revolution of 18110. Tho Nation-
al was right! Armand Carrel, whoso per
sonal courage is not known merely by France,
but by the whole world, needed no rencontre
with a UenrjquinquUto to prove that lie is not
afraid of risking his lilb for his principles;
and if there ho any one man amongst the 33
millions of Frenchmen who live in this coun
try, whoso personal valour would admit of no
two opinions, it was certainly tlio Editor of
tho journal of the people—1 mean tho Na
tional 1
Tlio Tribune tlion took up tlio question.—
Tlio tribune is conducted by Mnrrast—as
brave, as gallunt, as fine a fellow us breathes
on the earth. He consulted his coadjutors ;
ho sat d to tho Revenant, "wo accept your
challenge, but riot as private individuals—not
as ‘ Marrast,' a private citizen; but as Re
publicans against Carlists, and the supporters
of tho 'sovereignty ofthe people' against
tho ‘sovereignly of despots.' You, M Cal
vimoret, have not offended me—you, M. La-
horie, have not injured inc—to fight with you
personally for a supposed personal affair, ]
will not—but to fight with your parly, wo not
only are willing but even desire to do—and.
moreover, ha id tlio Tribune, wo accuse you,
tlio Royalists, of being 'cowards’—wo say
you dare not fight—wo dnroyou to tho com-
bap—produce your lists—ours shall be ready
duel for duel—sword for sword—pistol for
pistol—and eitlior wo will bo vanquished by
you, in which case wo will submit to the con
sequences of tho vanquished, and write no
more against your Duchess and your Dynas
ty—or you shall be conquered by us—and then
wherever they shall find these cowards, in
public or in private, they will attack them,
until they shall avow themselves vanquished,
and submit to disgrace, retirement, and si
lence. To-day this capital is in a state of
almost unparalleled excitement. The offi-
cos of the Royalist papers ore protected by
soldiers. They have been so during tlio
whole of tho right. The Quotidienne calls
on its friends to cornu forward and do their
duty, and declares that, whilst it deplores tho
necessity of duelling, yet it must and will
answer the appeal which lias been mndo,—
Tho Republicans full of life, soul, courage,
and high principle,(but, alas l sadly mistaken
in this question of duelling,) are organizing
thoir combats, and preparing for the result.
ThoGovemmont snys it will interfere. It can
do but little. It must prevent duels oponly
announced and published beforehand. It
may arrest the combatants whoso names have
been sent from Bureau to R ironu in written
lists; but in n population of 800,003 souls it
can do hut little. If the Royalists and Re
publicans aro resolved on having party duels,
in support of their political opinions, the
Government can do scarcely any thing to
prevent thorn. And who, indeed can look for
prevention from those who, by the-deplorable
and anti-national system of policy they havo
pursued since the month of March, 1831, havo
given vigor and animation, confidence and
insolence, to the legitimist party ; and who
liuvo, in liko manner discouraged to thoir ut-
most all that belongs to tho patriotic party in
France.
At the moment at which I write, report
roaches me of twelve duels to take place to
today. The Royalists will then engage in
the contest!—poor creatures !—tho day .will
come when they will resemble tho chaff be
fore the wind ! What chance is lliorc for
one against ten thousand?

There aro boto men who ought to rise

DUBLIN, Fob. 20.—Ever since the an-
nouncement of the contemplated coercive
measures this metropolis has been in a state of
unusual ngitatinn. Yesterday a meeting of
the trade of tailors to petition for a repeal of
the Union, took place nt the Arenai It was
intended ns the prelude to petitions from all
tho other trndcs on this topic, but now that
course had been abandoned, in the uncertain
ty that hangs over the future fate of this king
dom. Yesterday also a meeting of the Vo!
unteers took place, but soon afterwards ad
journod, tho members declaring that they
could not trust themselves to speak or acton
such an eventful crisis without further delib
oration. They met again to-tjay. To-mor-
row a great and general medting of the citi
zensis summonsed to tako into consideration
the impending measures, and concert meas
ures to avert tho danger. Tho members of
the Volunteers will bn the principal actors,
and it is understood that urgent remouslrances
to Parliament will bo adopted, together with
strong recommendations to the various consti
tuencies throughout the country lo react on
their representatives,nnd urge them fo oppose
the measures of Lord Gny lo tho utmost.—
All yesterday and to-day a visible increase in
the demand for Gold nt tho Bank of Ireland,
is evident, hut it amounts to nothing of con
sequence yet. The majority of tho citizens,
as well as tho peasantry, wait for O’Connell’s
advice (or indeed command) in cases of this
nature, before they decide on taking a step.
But if he says “ Go to the Bank for gold,”
every one will run there from tho very natural
apprehension that Ins voice will influence the
majority, and that those who hesitate may be
too late.
London, Feb. 24.—Wo have received in
telligence of a very important nature from
Birmingham. The. Political Union mot on
Tuesday, and resolved lo cull tin all tho con
stituencies of England to urge thoir represen
tatives to oppose the Irish Coercion Bill.
Mr. De Rosco Attwood said a new field of
agitation was opened to them on which he
entered with a heavy heart; tt grand public
meeting wns fixed for Monday next,and much
excitement is felt on the subject.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
There is no^ tho shadow nf yielding about
the King or the people of Holland. Thoir
unity and pcrsoverunco are wonderful; for
obstinacy, however applicable to.an individu
al, can hardly bn predicated of a whole na
tion. General Bnurmout is ut the Hague.
It is whispered that tho five powers have
gain conferred about the Dutch aud Bclgic
question, without calling on either party.
There are numerous furloughs granted in
the Dutch and Belgian armies, which are
hailed as signs of peace.
Tho Union, a Catholic journal of Belghim,
says.thut they have reasons for believing that
all intercourse between Lord Palmerston and
the Dutch ambassador, Baron de Zuylen do
Nyovelt, had entirely or nearly ceased,
and that the British government had deter
mined to enforce the blockade rigorously, as
soon as the weather was a little more favo
rable.
Brussels, Feb. 19.—The resolution of tho
Dutch Government to refuse all negotiations
has beon exemplified in rather an odd man
ner towards Al. Chodron, an attacho to the
French l egation in this city, who, having
last week gone to the frontiers of Holland
with despatches, was not allowed to enter
that country, on pretence of his coming from
Belgium. He went into Prussia, a neutral
country, with the hope of being permitted to
go to tho Hague, but on the Prussian-Dutch
frontiers the same fate awaited him. Ho is
now described as waiting on those frontiers
for permission to execute his mission.
FRANCE,
Paris, Feb. 20.—I have been hesitating for
some time whether or not I should call your
attention to the followingsubject; One hard
ly likes to say upon apparently light grounds
such things of any female, much less of an
unfortunate Princess, enjoying but lately all
sirong evidence may bo believed, turns upon
this,---that the Duchess of Borri is really en-
ciente. 1 am aware all the abuse this asser
tion may bring upon a poor mortal’s head,but
it is no less the fact, that bofore four months
are over the truth will out. The Carlist par
ty havo hit npon an expedient which cannot
but he admired for its ingenuity. After they
shall have tried nil that, gold may do to ope
rate the release ofthe illustrious prisoner,and
people assert that a large subscription 1ms
been made for ihat purpose, and attempted to
obtain her being sent to Naples through the
iiiflonco ofthe nminble,* respectable, but mis
taken Queen of France Dry intend boldly
and imprudently to proclaim, that the Duchess
do Bnrri is married, nnd that nothing can he
inure brutal and unmonly than to lionpinlumy
upon Imrl’cad for having incurred ihe natural
consequences of such a legitimate union.
Now, I verily believe that this subjoct di
vides the Palace a* well ns the Council : on
one side the King’s sister, a Princess of great
clearness of perception and great firmness of
character, ami whose influa ce it were to be
wislvd should bn greater upon her brother’s'
mind than it is, aud her nephew tho Duke of
Orleans, who notwithstanding some little
foibles, is most probably the best and most
enlightened young Prince in. Europe, ure
strongiv of opinion that the Inst blow ought lo
be st ruck against a party which is implacable
in '.ts hatred, andihut a sOdemn act ought t >
manifest to the world the end of the crusude
which has been undertaken against iho lihor-
ty,p*’oh»', uml prosperity of lies great naiion.
On the other side, the poor Queen, and al!
the false friends ofthe Orleans, urge the pro
priety of sending, without delay,.the Duchess
back to Naples. The most curious part of
tiiis distinguished adventure is that Jew
Duvtz has really refused to receive the salary
of his treason, and the people generally well
informed, hut of p rhaps fertile imagination,
add, that, h i betrayed his mistress through
a feeling of jealousy. 1 hasten now to put
hack the veil which I should not, perhaps,
have lifted up upon that characteristic part
of our annals.
GERMANY.
The Berlin States Gazette announces that
the ice on on the Rhine suddenly broke up
on thc4th inst. and the next morning, the
mnssrs accumulated near Oberwesel to such
a height, that tho current of the river was
slopped, and the town overflowed to the
depth of 27 feet, equalling the inundation of
1811. At seven in the evening, when the
account came away, the flood was still in
creasing, nnd tho inh L’ltants in the-greatest
state of ularm. An immense number of do
mestic nnimnls had perished.
Dresden, Feb. 5.—II tlierto hardly any pe-
tittons aud complaints from the country have
been presented to tho 'Chambers, which is
tho more remarkable, as the Ministers de
clared in both Chambers, in tho first sittings,
that the Government recognized in its fullest
extent, the right of the citizens to petition
the Chambers,and that every member ofthe
nss-m'dy vvus at liberty to tako up every pe
tition.
St utgard, Feb. 10.—Yesterday was a day
of mourning for us. The right of pardoning
—one of the fairest prerogatives of our be
loved King—wns restricted by his own Min
isters, and the majority of the Chambers who
voted w th thorn. It was decided yesterday
that the four, Tafel, Rodingor, Wagner and
IviibcL,should bo excluded from the Assem
bly of tho Estates of Wurteinbtirg, notwith
standing the pardon granted to them by the
King 7 yours ago.
Vienna, Feb. 9.—No courier has yet come
from Constantinople with the treaty between
the Portc,and Mohomct Ali Ibrahim, but it
should seem that it cannot be long befure one
arrives.
and unconsthiiiionality, we must think thut
South Carolina has acted with a precipitancy
unworthy of her own dignity and extremely
calculated to embarrass her friends and im
pair the success of thoir exertions fora logis-
fativo removal of thoir grievance. Do wo not
know, that.the principal difficulty in eompro-
mising the Tariff was tho apprehension that
tho act would be ascribed to intimidation ?
Do we not know that the argument which has
arrayed, by its plausibility, ulmost tho whole
American people against her, was—“Whnt'.j
— shall twenty-three Stales yield to tlio;
dictation of one?” She 1ms again, needlessly
exposed her conduct to the same odium, her
cause to the some prejudice ; and her friends
to increased embarrassment. If before, her
attitude was so formidable a bar to the re
peal of the Tarift’, how much more so will it
be now, when the Kamo urgency does not ex-
ist, when tho same long continued efforts
have not beon used, and ivTiOn even thoso who
justify tho principle of Nullification aro com
pelled to condemn its every day and unncces-
sary use. Courier.
We learn from tlio Richmond Whig, of the
28th ult. that John Randolph addressed the
people of Cumberland county on the 25th (it
being Court day) in his usu 4 eccontric style.
He spoke against the Proclamation ; scouted
tlio Tariff* Bill, and said the lato Message re-
iterjit'-d thu sentiments, ofthe Proclamation.
His health was very feeble. lie said in con
clusion, that in justice to himself, und consti
tuents, ho could not be considered a candiJa e
for Congress ; for ho vvus preparing for a sea
voyage. Some of his personal friends insis
ted that a poll should be held for him, which
will no doubt be done. C. Courier.
Shocking Affair.-A man hy the name of
Jacob Oyler, who resided in Allegheny town
ship, Westmoreland county, was lodged in
Iho jail of this borough, on Friday night Inst,
charged with killing one, anil seriously injur
ing another of his children. We are unable,
accurately, to give tho particular of this
shocking affair; but from wlmt we could loam
it a pears that Oyler return d iionnnn Thurs
day evening last, in a state of intoxication,
and after whipping,-drove.his wife from tho
house, threatening her life. Hlio fled to her
fathers, a short distance off. In the morning
f vernl persons went to Oyler’. house, where
they found ono of tlio children laying in the
Know n\ the door,bleeding from several wounds
which it had received, still alive ; and on en
tering the house a more horrible spectacle
presented itself. Tho other child was found
lying %m the floor dead, near the bod where
tho unfeeling father was qviietly Teposing, with
its head shockingly burnt and otherwise inju
red.
We have heard various statements of thi-
molancholy occurrence, but as it must become
the subject of legal investigation, we deem it'
improper, at this time to give publicity to'

Dialogue between the Rev. Mr. W e
and his friend B., &c. &.c.
B.
Dear W , it’s said, in yonder state,
The Cholera abounds,
And rumors sol om circulate,
Without, at least, some grounds.
W.
I’ve heard myself, but can’t declare,
Whether or not 'us true,
The malady floats on wings of air,
Without or shape or hue.
B.
This novel doctrine, it is plain,
Is le.illy quite absurd,
The flspring ofsome childish brain,
Which merits scarce a word.
W.
Tho faculty distinctly 6tato,
Tho great, tha rich, the good,
Resign’d their precious live of late,
Through vegetable food!
B. ,
Empirics sure, these artful foes,
Fur who but such could think
The seeds of death or other woes
Exist in meat or drink
W.
All men must die; this is decreed,
Death, age nor sox can shun ;
When should thu soul from earth be frecJ,
There’s none can toll but one.
B.
What mortal sights appear in town,
The fates insidious creep;
Disease so rapid cuts man down.
As makes one’s soul to weep !
W.
Alan’s lif-*, at best, is but a span,
Time immemorial shews,
. Yet curtail this, does all he can,
II s sober judgment knows.
. B.
Call's! thou that life? and fraught with pain,
That comes and onds so quick ;
Ephemeral state, that can’t attain,
Its ppor climacteric.
W.
'Midst folly’s sons, a useless tribe,
Man quaffs tlio baneful sweet,
Ami sometimes his head clef crib j
The cube of both his feet.
B.
His lot’s still hard, if every breath,
Or ruffi ng breeze that blows,
Breathes on lum, pregnant full of death,
Disseminating w< es.
W.
Ileav’nfc- will bn done, when die we muBt,
No in n on earth con say;
Let’s yield to reason, we are but dust,
And conscience mute obey.

Kissing.—We learn from a western pa
per, that a young gentleman from New York
has been fined 828 nnd costs for kissing the
wife of a man with whom he boarded. The
suit-wns brought by the husband for the recov
ery of damages, some part of which were
sustained more than a year ago, by the testi
mony of the kissee, that the offence- has been
repented eight or nine limes, within a few
months, making tho price of the smacks a-
bour §51 each. So, young men, take warn
ing. Be cautious in all things: but be ospo-,
cinlly careful how you kiss other people’s
wives.
We dont think that the above is a very ex
orbitant rate, if the western damsels are any
thing like our yankeo ones. _ It should have
been stated how long tho kisses were. Byron
says the longth is the only way lo determine
the value of a kiss. For example ;
“ A long-long kiss—a kiss of youth and love,"
is assuredly worth more than three dollars.
Shak-pearealso has a line in which the beam
ty of these delicious kisses is well expressed:
T , p **A kiss
Long as my exile!—Sweet as my revenge !!”
Goodness.! .what fellows those poets must
have been for kissing!! {
