Gentlemen onhorfeback, and others, went to Chalk Farm to enquire into the particulars yefterday, and crowds of perfons were all day viewing the fpot where Col. M. fell, which was covered with blood. In confequence of this unfortunate duel, Sir RICHARD FORD caufed Capt. MACNAMARA tO be yefterday put under an arreft of the civil power; but as he was unable to be removed, he is at pi e fent permitted to remain in his ap:atments, at Blake's Hotel, Jermyn-Ilreet. Several perfons concerned in this fatal tranfac• tion were examined beforz Sir RICHARD FORD, and fome of them ordered to be detained : the names of thofe' Gentlemen we mull, for the plefent, de. dine making public. Mr. ANDREWS, the Surgeon, at the requeft of Sir RICHARD FORD, went yefterday to examine the nature of the wound which had produced the death of Colonel MONTGOMERY, and reported that a pif tol ball had fractured the fourth rib on the right tide, and entered the cavity of the chell. Captain MACNAMARA is wounded in the abdomen, anc', though Hill living, his fate is very uncertain.— TOWNSEND, the Bow-ttreet Officer, is placed in the houfe. The parties engaged in the duel which we men tioned yefterday were Lieutenant-Colonel Mom r• ciosizar, of the 9th Foot, and Captain MACNA mAta, late of the Caaaxxus frigate.

One of his horfes being ill, the Colonel was not on Wednefday at tended by his fervant. Captain MACN AMARA was alfo on horfeback, followed by a dog. The two dogs quarrelled near the Serpentine river, on the graft, between the ride and the water. They were tumbling over each other, and Captain MACNAMARA'S being uppermoft, having the beg of the battle, the other being a young dog, Colo nel Mosrootaser went. up to feparate them, when very high and warm words arofe ; and a number of Gentlemen came around: the parties exchanged addreffes.
