and Mr. De Camp, to s•y, that the Pacts were simply these:—A dis-
sension did occur at the Theatre o!1 the evening of Tuesday the sth
instant, between Mr. Elliston at.d Mr. De Camp, in which some hasty
expressions were used on both sides, awl which, for a sim:le moment,
tdta occasion a s'ight p-rsonal eucutuner.. The effect of Ois was a
meeting at an early hour the next mo:nhoz on Dulwich Common, where
Elliston was accompanied by inysdf, and Mr. De Camp by one
of his friends Mr. Elliston and Mr. 1k Camp exchanged shots, and
the ~ on the interposition of Mr. De Catnip's friend and myself, they
were prevailed on to shake hands. No persons in such ii situation
could con.lict theinstlves mote properly. In reftr,2l;ce to tie allusion
to myself, 1 have to add, that the quarrel was not produced by any
act oc expression of mine, anti that so far from fomenting any date:-
vice he tween the parties, t very possible efloit was used by me to
reconcile ille!n dining the progress of the dispute, and before they
proceeded t• I lie I.•st extremity.

A Dr.- Flagg has just arrived, with flying colours according to his
own account, from America. We presume he has come to this coun-
try in consequeoce of the late declaration of war. If this be the
case, with all the advantages of our situation, we unify have more to
dread from Yankee hostility, than we at first apprehended, us will be
seen from the tollowing manifesto.
