FROM THE " BALTIMORE NORTH AMERICAN."

Last Saturday Mr. GARDEN ZEE,' in debate upOrt
the Additional Embargo Act, observed, " That
there appeared to him to be an invisible hand se-
cretly guiding the afriirs of the Cabinet, and direct-
ing the measures of that Home, to forge chains to
link them to the chariot of the Gallic Conqueror."
This Was taken very much amiss by some of the ma-
jority, and the House adjourned in a passion. On
Monday three of them, Messrs. G.W. CAMPBELL,
MONTOOM CRY, and JOHNSON, made use of language
of contradittion of an highly personal nature to-
wards Mr. GARDE-NIEL The latter Gentleman, we
understand, sent a ifiessage by Mr. W. to. Mr.
CAMPBELL, as, the first in the order of using the
expressions, and that it was accepted through
Mr. E.

Accounts from Washington slate, that in the duel
between Messrs. GARDUNIRR and CAMPBELL, the
for Mer received a hall which penetrated the thorak,
on the right side, as one of the Surgeons supposes,
and lodged in the other side. It has been extraded.
Our latest intelligence op the subjeCt is dated at six
o'clock on Wednesday evening, at which time seve-
ral Gentlemen returned to Washington from a visit
to Mr. GARDENIER, and reported that they,did not
consider him as in danger. They 53y the wound is
PO) a flesh Wound 3: that he does not bleed ; that
his respiration is good, his spirits are unbroken, and
he eats and drinks well.
• We understand that his second declares thnt be did
not intend to fire, and that his pistol was discharged
by an involuntary cuntradion of the muscles after
• receiving the wound.
CANIPEELL and his second returned toWash-
ington immediately, and took their seats in the
J-lipiSe, where they remained during the sitting.
• It is 4aid that Mr. CAbiruLL made use of the pis-
tols of General WILKINSON, which are reputed the
best in the (kited States.
