It is rare to see a piece of false news of such
calibre as that of one French general killing
another in a duel remaining in undisputed pos-
session of the public journals for several days,
until, from indications and initials, some papers
were emboldened to give names. Yesterday it was
stated, in such positive terms that it occurred to
nobody to doubt the fact, that General Deligny
had been killed in Algeria by General Legrand,
To-day

the Sport says :
A pima of sews, as strings nit is absurd. has ben cir-
culated at Paris, namely, that Osman' Dollen was killed
in Algeria in a duel by General Legrand. We know from
an undoubted sonnet that this statement is oompletsly
inexact. There has not even existed any appeanaoe of a
hostile encounter being likely to inks plan Wilma those
officers.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes the fol-
lowing paragraph which refers obscurely to the same
affair :
Several journals have mentioned incidesta alleged to have
occurred at Ora& dories the stay of his Majesty at that
place, and demonstration stated to bays been made, on the
panne of his !dainty, against a personae oxiirtving as
important command. We are happy to be able to date
that there is absolutely no foundation for these reports.
which have the double iononnesignoe of misleading public
opinion and of feinting disquietude upon private families.
But the little Moniteur du Soir gives a more spe-
cific denial in the following terms :
A report is spread that a duel has taken place in Algeria
between the general of division Dam sad the general of
brigade Limn, his inferior ofdoer. It is inhalant to
point out the relative position of them two metal
Maws to reject the notion of a meeting which would be the
negation o( dleciplitta Despatches and journals received
Wm Alp& ~,,-;!:.4v.sUeut about so serious an event.
We have • right, therefore, to „Arm that. it is absolutely
forged, and to deplore the fast that smatisi-mes:,7" a° e°;l
respect even those whose high position is the army ehci::.
at say rate place them out of the reach of their attacks.
It has been said that Muffle. Rosa Bonbeur's
decoration was the first ever given to a woman not
a nun or a eivandiere. The Union, however, has
found a precedent to the contrary. It says that in
1852 the wife of a mayor was decorated for
courageously protecting her house against some
rioters while her husband had gone out to "direct"
the elections.
M. Goerg, the opposition candidate, was elected
a deputy for the Marne on Sunday, by 17,177 votes
against 12,719 given to IL Baguet, the government
candidate.
More well-accredited false news has to be cor-
rected. The Gazette de France, which made itself
responsible for the statement that M. Emile de
Girardin was the purchaser of Prince Napoleon's
Pompeian villa, now registera, without question,
the contradiction of the Gazette des Etrangers, which
affirms that it is yet unsold.
The civil tribunal gave judgment to-day in the
great case of the action of the infant children of
Madame de Pauw against the insurance compa-
nies, upon the policies effected by the poisoner La
Pommerais. It is decided that the unfortunate
woman, having been a party to his frauds, and
never having had any bond fide interest in the poll-
dee, her children are not entitled to the money.
The Bourse was firmer, and quotations about re-
covered the fall of yesterday. Mexico, however,
according to the Freer, continues to be the one to
lack point in the horizon.
