AFFRAY AT PARIS.

Extract from a letter front France, detailing the
particulars sit another f• acna in the French capital
a PAM., JULY 14.—A acetone affray took place here •
very few days ago between three English gentlemen and two
French officers of the King's Guard. lum happy, bowery'',
to say, that it erolc•I without bloodshed, although with
much abuse on both ',lilts. The particelaus that have come
to my knowledge are thesr--Captain Vauti cull'. r, a French
officer, was paying his addresses to • young lady of re.
sortiabitily in ass English family, resident in thin city, where
Messrs. H—. 13—, and A—, visited. The former is reported
to be • man of remarkably flue appearance and engaging
simmers, and Captain V— began so be jealous of certain
•tteations !Aviator:led that Mr. H. was paying to Miss L.-- :
at irst, it is said, that Captain V— remonstrated, but
whether the act was, that the lady preferred her countryman,
it is certain that she pretended to resent his auspicious con.
sleet, and in return appeared to give some encouragement
to them, by receiving Mr. H. with more than ordinary
civility. The French officer could nut endure the slight,
but waited an opportunity (in company with a friend, also in
the army) of insulting Mr. H. This he dill us the Boule-
vard, near the line tit la Pals, by trampling on his toes.
Mr. H. was in company with his friends D. and A. soul im-
mediately struck bisantagoubit, who Warned the blow wills
• stick : he was supported by his companion, but the Eng.
11:.b were soon victorious. The consequences have been,
that Captain Vantreullier sent • calking, to Mr. H. and his
two friends, and • meeting was accordingly appointed.
Three duels were fought by the French officer with Meows.
H—, 11—y, and A—, bat be did nut succeed in wounding
any of them, nor was be himself hurt, althosigla • part
of the feather of his cap was shot away by the ball of
Mr. D—."
