M. GRAPIER DE CASSAGNAC S DUEL.

Our Paris correspondent, writing on Saturday,
says :—Tbere is mesh talk to-day, and DO wonder, of the
ridiculous issue of • duel between two journalista which has ,
bees announced all the week as being about to come ;
off. The incensed parties were M. Aurelian Scholl, the
editor of the /Vain Jaime, a facetious—and, it mull be
aided, • scurrilous—print, and M. Granier de Caasagnac,
junior. The latter young gentleman is unknown to fame;
indeed I never before heard cf his exhume. Bet his
father, M. °remise de Caragnecossior. who has volunteered
an extraordinary " solidsrity" in thisaffair, I. the well-known
govenimeot deputy of the Corps Legielatif, the official his-
torian of the coup deka, and the frequent exponent of
imperial policy in the Cusenitictimenel and Pays. The caws
6...114 was a paragraph in the Pain Jaunt which pre
offence to Grimier de Osmium the younger. He
sent • challenge to IL Audi= Scholl, which
was accepted. It wee agreed that the duel should
be fought with awned& at Boisfort, near Brumes* on the
26th Sept. At eight in the morning of that day IL A.
Scholl, attended by two ciscooda was on the ground. His
adversary also came to the scratch, bat, to the great seta
nishawat of the Scholl party, he was escorted by his
governor, U. (Iranian de Caseagnac, senior, who proposed to
ad as his son's mood. Indeed of giving Graaise de Car
ague the elder credit for the sentiments of a Cato or a
Brutus, N. Scholl and his friends construed his appearance
in the character of • man ready to see his son slaughtered,
ass theatrical and indecent exhibition which it would be dis-
graceful to suctice. Acoordingly they declined fighting unless
the papa would take himself out of the way. M. Graph,
de Cassagnac, senior, swore lustily that he would not quit
the field "under any pretext." Ultimately, however, be did,
and the belligerent parties, with their attendants, returned
to Paris by the same train. When in Paris the juvenile
Cuisagnac expressed a desire to fight without the *mistime
of his progenitor ; bet M. Scholl now Tokio' to give him
satisfaction, sad enbmite to the public his reams. The

appears that N. Dejarrier, • redactrar of the Prue; was
killed in a duel by N. De Bsauvalloe, the brother-in-law of
M. Grimier de Curium The quarrel arose out of •

the ground, therefore, that the duel was not fair, De Bun-
Talton was sentenced to eight years' imprisonmeet. Under
these circumstances, M. Scholl submits that he is justified in
declining any combat in which M. Granier de Ousagnac is
concerned. Moreover, be says that hie journey to Belgium
