The following are stated as the circumstances
which led to a meeting very early yesterday morn.-
lug on Blackheath, from which the most fatal con-,
sequences are apprehended.--We do not vouch fir
their authenticity
The Parties on' this unfortnnate occasion -were
German Nobleman, Baron HOMDESCH, who, during
the Irish rebellion in 1798, . commanded a Regi-
ment raised by himself on the Continent Under the
Prince of ORANGE ; and a Mr. RICHARDSON, a
Gentleman of much respeetability, The second
to Baron HomrEsen was Mr. BUTLER DAN-
TERS. We have not heard who seconded Mr.
RICHARDSON.. It appears that, on Saturday last,
Xi._ RICHARDSON was
.walking in the streets
of London, with . a Lady. on each arm ; tliit
they were,, met by Baron HOMPESCH (who is
very near-sighted, and always wears speetacles)t
who, by accident, ran- against Mr. Ric trArtn-
SON and, his female friends, which being taken for
an intentional. insult, Mr. RICHARDSON knoclwd
the Baron • down. what passed after this, we
'are Dot informed .until • they met on Blackheath,
about two hundred yards from the Green Man
Inn, where they, fought. The distance we au-.
derstand to have been short. ' The first tire they
both MisSed, •when, we hear, an accommodation
was pron4ed on
.the part of -Air, RICHARDSO':i
which was refused by the Baron, unless Mr. Ittat-
anDsola would permit him to lay'a cane gently upa
his shoulder. - This being declined by= Mr. Ittcp,
AtuasoN, they again took their grOunil,,and tiled
a second .time ,without arty serious_ Behg
again furnished with fresh pistols, the Baron slot
