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?

But here the matter did not, can not, and will not rest. If the Government will not de fend the Revolution, the Revolution will de fend itself.

Continuation of foreign nows by the Ros- coe. 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' Greensburg Rep. | FOR THE GEORGIAN.] Dialogue between the Rev.

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!! { From the Augusta Constitutionalist of April 2.—With the assistance of friends, wt* have been enabled to ascertain tho quantity of Cotton shipped from Augusta and Ham burg, to April 1, 1835), and remaining on hand, in both places also on ths 1st April, 1833.
