SIB FRrINCIS BURDET7' and Mr. PifULL:

. . .
We have authority to state, that Mr: PAuLL; con
ceiiing himself entitled to an apology Or'satiiiiitaion
from Sir -FIt.A•NCIS BuntoETT, in consequence of the
transa&ions already stated in the Public Papers to.,
have passed at . the dinner on Friday, at th 2 Crdwu '
and Anchor, called at Sir FRANCIS'S house, at Wini=
- bledon; about one o'clock on Saturday, morning, ac-
companied by Mr. —, his' friend. Mr. ----.:.
acquainted Sir FRANcis of the nature of the-visit, and.
several messages passed, by means of Mr. —, be-
tween Sir FRANCIS and Mr. 'PAULL—(Mr..PAULT.
remaining in his carriairey; but Sir FRANcrs, feel-
ing that Mr. PitYLL had claim to an apology frbiii"
him for any part Of 'his condu&, informed Mr. ---,
that ii was his determination not to '. make, any :
these different communications lasted till about four
o'clock. It was, then agreed that they should meet
at Kingston, as soot as Sir FRANCIS could procure
the attendance of his friend, Mr. ----, from. town.
Mr. --,-- found them at Kingston about nine
o'clock the. same morning, when the parties- agreed
to proceed to Coombe Wood,' near that town. Here
ieach.still persevered in their former determination.
Owing to circumstances (not necessary ,to be now
stated), Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was unprovided with
pistols: It was immediately • agreed; that both
should use Mr. P,AuLL'g. Upon, a signal given by
one of the seconds,, they both fired together, but
without effe6t. Upon Mr. PAULL being then asked
by Mr. -- if he was. now satisfied ? He declared
he must have an apology, or - proceed. Mr.
declared an apology from. Sir FRANCIS was quite out
Of the question. The signal was made as .befbre,
when they again fired together. Mr. PAULL then
fell; being shot in the upper part of the leg:-,as did
Sir F. in a, few seconds afterwards, being shot in
the upper part of the thigh. They were' imme-
diately conveyed to town in the same carriage, under
the care of Mr. LANDFORD, a Medical Gentleman,
who had been fetched by Mr; ---- to the spot
from Wimbledon. -

The following singular circumstance, relative to a Bill
depending in,Parliament, appearS in the. Limerick
Chronicle, published: by iNlessrs3. WATSO.N and
MA.II6NY, of that City, on Wednesday, 29th
!writ, 1807 • .
".The Bill now before Parliament, for local regu-
lations of St. Miehael's•Parish,in this City, Contains
no:provision whatsoever for contributing to the ex-
..pence or support of any of our Public Institutions;
`vii. Gaol, Court souse, House of Industry,
t4l for Lunatics, Fever Hwpital, Charities of. any
~.sort,whatsoever
_nor to making or repairing Roads,
Bridges, or.pny Work.ofpublic utility and necessity-
21though St. Michael's Parish is inhabited by nearly
All the wealthy population of the City. Thus the
,ofcl,:parfof Abe City, consisting of St. Mary's,. .St.
St..Ziltinchin's Parishes, ancrthe indUstriOns,
labOurina peasantry' Of the Liberties, are to bear.the
•
unequal burden ofali the'above Institutions, &c. gre.
'§l44lichael's Parish contains already more buildings

partS areas rapidly decaying—and yet the Poor are
to. support for the Rich Gaols for their rogues and
thieves; .and, all the Charitable Institutions-tbr their
poor,and sick. We have been. solicited to state the
above, and to appeal to those who are alive to feelings
of justice and humanity in every part of this City
and Liberties, to lay before Parliament, by Petition,
'ins.tantlyo the partial operation of the intended Bill
~for St. Midhael's Parish, in the hope that it may be
amended, .sd'as to put the whole under a system of
fair-and equal, taxation fo'r all public purposes above
p enumerated; Is there any City,in the United Em-
,.pire so circumstanced ? We do not think there is
Our situation cannot escape the vigilance and justice
of the Imperial Parliament.",
