PARIS, Bartmasy ETINUIN.
The telegraph yesterday was guilty of a very con-
siderable sin of omission in reporting the King of
Italy as having simply thanked the Roman depu-
tation which brought him a present of a this sup-
tieais for the Queen of PortugaL Victor Emmanuel
elid in point of fast tell the deputation to inform
the Romans, their fellow-citisens, that they
miOt rely upon him, that he deeply sympathised
with their aWictions, and that he would persevere
in the teak he had undertaken, without being de-
terred
by any difficulties, until the proposed object
was obtained, This is highly important as show-
ing that the King has not yet at any rate been bul-
lied into an open disavowal of General Durando's
circular ; and that is, I suppose, the reason why
the French telegraph suppressed his words.
The following are some particulars of the late
fatal duel :

IL Eugene Charm, director of the Sport, endeavoured
to conciliate the two adversaries, but his interference war
vain, and the affair resumed its course, and could not be
arranged. At het, on the 21st, the day appointed for the
meeting, the two adversaries, thinn emoods, soda physi-
cian (the medical attendees to Vely Pacha), who were by
eommon accord in the same train, stopped at the station of
Maleons,-wheece they went in carriages to the Forest of
Saint-Germain. On alighting, the rain was falling heavily.
The seconds were some time before they could find a suit-
able spot, but they at length succeeded, and the adversaries
took their places. IL Dillon, who assumed the offenaive
almost immediately received a thrust ,which pierced the left
lung. The wounded man put his hand to his breast, drew
• deep sigh, and fell dead. The Duke then, addressing
himself to his adversary's seconds, said—" I think
my place is no longer here ; I have nothing left me but to
retire." He then withdrew in much agitation. When the
body had been placed in • carriage and conveyed to St.
Germain, some difficulty was experienced in finding a house
willing to receive it ; but at hat the landlord of the Prince
de Galles consented, and information was given to the
police. Only one of the mooed', Colonel de Noe, accom-
minket the body, and ou being questioned by the commis- !
sary of police as to the particulars of the affair he refused
to mention the name of the adverse party. After time
time, however, and being threatened with having the whole
respoosibility thrown on him, he named the duke. The
oommissary of police, not liking to take anything on him-
self under such serious circumstances, Owed the colonel
under arrest in one of the rooms of the hotel, and tele-
graphed for instructions to the prefect of police. The reply
sent was :—" Keep the person prisoner until to-morrow, and
bring him before a judicial commission which is about to
proceed to St. Germain." The investigation is still
going on.
Colonel de Noe has been released on parole. It is con-
firmed that the Duke de Gramont Oaderousse and his
seconds have taken refuge is Belgium. The mother sad
sister of M. Dillon join in the prosecution as parties ciriks
claiming damages.
It is rumoured that Count Walewaki intends so
to reorganise the reading committee of the Theatre
Francais as that actors and actresses will no longer
be able to throw out plays because they do not hap-
pen to contain parts calculated to show off their
own peculiar talents to the best advantage.

M. Nelaton, one of the most eminent operative
surgeons in Paris, left for Spezzia last night to see
Garibaldi, and, in allprobability, to take off his leg.
Four of Garibaldi's Italian doctors and the general
himself wrote to request M. Nelaton's services, and
he at once attended to the summons.
